COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Jan. 30 to Feb. 10, 1937 NOTE: For courses having both lectures and quizzes, the Time of Exercise is the time of tie first lecture period of the week; for courses having quizzes only, the Time of Exercise is the time of the first quiz period, Drawing and laboratoiy work may be continued through the examination period in amount equal to that normally devoted to such work during one week. Certain courses will be examined at special periods as noted below the regular schedule. All cases of conflicts between assigned examination periods should be reported for adjustment to Professor J. C. Brier, Room 3223 East Engineering Building before Jan. 27. To avoid misunderstandings and errors, each student should receive notification from his instructor of the time and place of his appearance in each course during the period Jan. 30 to Feb. 10. No single course is permitted more than four hours of exami- nation. No date of examination may be changed without the con- sent of the Classification Committee. Prof. Benson Describes Changes Proposed By President's Advisers By TUURE TENANDER A very distinct improvement in the system of auditing and supervising' the nation's finances will result when, and if, the recommendations made by the President's Committee on Admin- istrative Management for revision of the fiscal auditing system are enact- ed, Prof. George C. S. Benson of thej University Bureau of Government said yesterday. "There is no large, modern govern- ment in the world," Professor Benson' said, "that tries to get along with the system of auditing now in use in this country, nor does one find such a system used in industry." Critized By President Much justified criticism has been made, he said, of the way in which the office of the Comptroller General has been used. President Roosevelt, in his message to Congress on reor- ganization last week, said in part: "The committee does not spare the Camptroller General for his failure to give the Congress a prompt and complete audit each year, totally in- dependent of administration, as a means of holding the executive truly, to account; nor for his unconstitu- tional assumption of executive power; nor, for the failure to keep the ac- counting system of the government up to date to serve as the basis of information, management andscon- trol . .." System Sometimes Fails "The pre-auditing system now used," Professor Benson explained, "fails to catch certain errors that would in all probability be caught if a periodic method of auditing were used. It is always recognized that the control of expenditures before they are made is an essential part of the administrative process but the time for a check-up from the out- side is after the expenditures have been made," he said. One of the chief criticisms of the General Accounting Office at present, in Professor Benson's opinion, is the fact that the Comptroller General has "arrogated to himself powers that do not belong to him." "The Comptroller General is not an administrative officer and does not cooperate with other adminis-1 trative officials," he said. "There has been too legalistic and technical an interpretation of the office' powers with no eye for real governmental economy," he added. Another criticism made by Pro- fessor Benson of the present system is that much of the machinery of the General Accounting Office merely duplicates that of the executive de- partments and of the Budget Bu- reau.j The changes advocated by the President on the basis of his com- mittee's report would provide for an auditor general who would conduct an independent post audit of the fiscal transactions. "The recommendations provide for giving the executive the right to pre- scribe auditing systems and to settle claims against the government," Pro- fessor Benson said. "The Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General would also have the right to interpret and decide upon legal fiscal issues," he added. Favors Periodic Audits "I favor strongly the adoption of all the fiscal recommendations made by the committee," Professor Ben- son said, "with the exception of the continuous auditing method. I be- lieve the adoption of a process of periodic audits is to be preferred over the continuous system," he said. If the recommendations are adopt- ed. Professor Benson feels, the re- sponsibility for expenditures will be placed firmly in the executive branch. Under the present system, he said, the Comptroller General is not re- sponsible to anyone and often cases have had to be decided by the United States Supreme Court in order to re- voke the mandate handed down by the Comptroller General. "Under the proposed revision," Pro- fessor Benson said, "the auditor-gen- eral must submit a report of any ex- penditures under question to Con- gress if he and the Secretary of the Treasury do not agree on whether or not the item is to be allowed."

Strike Is Discussed (Continued from Page 1) onize either the American Federation of Labor (the craft group) or the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion (the industrial group, opponent of the A.F. of L.). (2) "As it is now constituted, the Board would also be very reluctant to take any move that would put it in a partizan position." Representation Is Question No one doubts, it was pointed out, that one of the main purposes of the Board is to determine representation. And that is the big question in the General Motors strike. The United Automobile Workers union demands recognition as the sole bargaining agency, and at the same time gives no conclusive proof that it has the majority of the workers needed to entitle it, under the act, to be recog- nized as such. Indeed, many observers doubt thatI the union does have a majority of members or even a majority of sym- pathizers among the non-union strikers, as large as its minority in that field may be. So, Professor Riegel declares, the union, thus be- ing in an unsure position, will prob- ably not ask the Board to conduct a vote. So, since it appears that the Board will not act unless asked to do so by the union, it will not act at all be- cause the union will not request it. Board Has Two Duties Yet, as Prof. Edgar Durfee of the Law School asserts, "the outstand- ing idea of the whole statute is to provide machinery for the determin- ation of labor representation." The Board has two essential duties, Professor Reigel explained. The first has to do with the determining of jurisdictional lines, i.e., saying what unions shall be concerned with what industries and what sections of the country. It is here that possible dif- ficulties with the A.F. of L. and the C.I.O. loom. The second, bearing more directly on the Michigan situation, deals with the determination of who is going to (Continued on Page 4) CHELSEA FLOWER SHOP 203 East Liberty Phone 2-2973 Flowers for All Occasions A ttention: FRATERNITIES, SORORITIES, STUDENT ORGANIZATONS - Your group picture and any ,additional pictures you may desire to appear on your page in the 1937 Mich- iganension must be taken before JANUARY 24th. 9 0g " o9 u// -- - ,bar= itt s SWIN 'etas p113r® if you're onna Flunk you re onna Flunk ' Avoid delay and arrange today with Messrs.
