Mathematician
To Explain Plan
At Lecture Here
A precise explanation of social
science phenomena in terms of math-
ematics will be the subject of a
University lecture by Prof. Karl
Menger, Austrian mathematician, at
7:45 p.m. tomorrow in Room 304 of
the Union.
Research worker in mathematics,
Professor Menger, has been working
on an exact theory of sociological re.
lations. Under the title of "A Math-
ematical Theory of Human Rela-
tions," he will sketch his plans.
"I'm sure this lecture will be of in-
terest not only to economists and
other social science workers, but to
mathematicians and physical scien-
tists as well," Prof. Howard S. Ellis
of the economics departMent said.
Professor Menger was the son of
the famous economist'of the same
name, who, with Jevons and Walras,
is considered to be the founder of the j
Austrian school of theoretical econ-
omists.
Schlesinger To Discuss
Boron Hydride Work
Dr. H. I. Schlesinger, University of
Chicago chemist, will describe recent

building.
The lecture, sponsored by the
AmericanbChemical Society, is open

If Diogenes had come to Michigan,
he could have packed his lantern
away and saved himself a lot of foot
trouble in his search for an honest

'40, member of the Health Service
Visitation project of the Student
Christian Association. Miller claims
to have found a Michigan man who
can outdo both Washington and Lin-
coln at the game of honesty.
As usual the case is very chimer-
ical; Miller doesn't know the man's
name. But it happened last week
when he was asked by a number of
the infirmary for a penny postcard
to send home. Miller bought the card.
Friday night in Lane Hall the debt;
was paid off. A stranger asked if heI
could leave some money he owed1
Miller. The request. was granted, and
yesterday morning Miller was noti-t
fled a penny was waiting for him
whenever he wished to collect it.
On recovering the debt Miller said,t
"In the semester I have worked on
the Health Service Visitation proj-
ect I have learned much about hu-
man nature but I never expected
to see such scrupulous honesty. My
faith in human nature has beenx
strengthened."

Sigma Rho Tau's 'Cooley Cane'
Is Pirated Post, Brackett Asserts
- - - . w w w w w - W~ W w - -.
GAD-ABOUT
By WILLIAM T. ELVIN
The "Cooley Cane," that symbol
of meritorious service to Sigma Rho
Tau, engineering speakers' club, is a
pirated post, according to Prof. Rob-
ert D. Brackett of the engineering
college.
Professor Brackett explained that
many, many years ago a fence en-
closed the campus, in order to refuse
admission to the multifarious domes-
tic and wild life that infested Ann
Arbor in those days. The entrances
were masterpieces of engineering in-
genuity, consisting of two gate-posts
with cedar stakes placed in staggered
formation so that no cattle, other
than students, could enter, he said.
"Civilization Came"
But soon, according to the Sigma
Rho Tau director, "civilization came
to our city," and the University au-
thorities decided tohsell the fence to
a neighboring farmer, reasoning that
any spasmodic invasion by an oc-
casional runaway horse or stray bull
would not deeply disturb the serenity
of the campus.
The students, according to Profes-
sor Brackett, felt the loss of the fence
keenly, for it had been the line of
battle for many a class struggle, and
few if any of the ringleaders had
escaped the embarrasing accident of
being hung up by the tousers on a
paling. So they held a secret con-
clave. The errant fence was tracked,
and, as a natural result, the farmer
found himself minus one fence the
following morning.
Students Get Canes
About a month later, Professor
Brackett continued, students ap-
peared in Dean Cooley's class in the
engineering school with cedar canes,
beautifully turned, finished and pol-
ished, filling the room with all the
perfume of the cedars of Lebanon. A
deputation presented one of the canes
to Dean Cooley as a token of their
esteem.
For many years Dean Cooley car-
ried this cane with him on his walks,
although, Professor Brackett reports,
there is no evidence to support the
belief that he ever used it as a dis-
ciplinary tool. So far as is known,
Hinks Named Head

it was announced yesterday.
Devoted to the development of im-
promptu speaking, the club had Lewis
Kearns, '37L, for president this year.
New members this year include Keith
Bondurant, '38L, secretary, William
B. Stephenn, '38L, Robert Henoch,
'38L, Robert B. Knight,,'39L, Dan K.

Kellum Editing Book
On Mexican Geology
A new book, "The Geology and Bi-
>logy of the San Carlos Mountains,
'amaulipas, Mexico" edited by Lewis
3. Kellum, will be published about
uly 1 by the University of Michigan
?ress, it was announced yesterday.
The reports in the book deals with
nany subjects including "Geology of
he Sedimentary Rocks of the San
arlos Mountains," "Igneous Rocks of
he San Carlos Mountains" and "Ore
deposits of the San Carlos Moun-
;ains.
Dean Cooley's Cane is the only relic
of the old campus fence.
Now, the cane so hallowed by tra-
dition is awarded to the student who
has rendered the greatest service to
Sigma Rho Tau during his four years
on the campus. Universally known as
the "Cooley Cane," it is passed on
from year to year, being awarded to
the student chosen by the "Attic Ten,"
the supreme governing body of Sigma
Rho Tau, by the student who won
the award in the previous year.
Wednesday night, at the annual
banquet, Robert A. Lowe, '36E, of
Buffalo, last year's winner, will pre-
sent the Cooley Cane to a member of
the society who has earned recogni-
tion as this year's outstanding mem-
ber of sigma Rho Tau.

The topic of the debate was:: Re-
solved, That Current Standard Costs
Provide a Better Tool for Managerial
Control than Basic Standard Costs."
By winning the debate, the Univer-
sity team, coached by Raymond Scho-
berg of the speech department and
advised by Prof. Herbert Taggert of
the School of Business Administra-

GET OUT and do things! Yes,
that's the motto of spring and in
Ann Arbor it's no trouble at all to
find those things to do - just
think, we have bicycling, canoeing,
roller-skating - if you're so in-
clined - and no end of amuse-
ments for the more serious ath-
letes. And it's in Ann Arbor that
you'll find the spirit too!
'BEEN THINKING about all
this lately and have been scouting
for the athletic costume for the
Michigan out-door girl - and
with a great deal of success. Yes,
at the ELIZABETH DILLON Shop
I found the coolest kind of dresses
for the moderate exercise, in fact,
tennis or golf dresses, walking
dresses and cool non-wrinklable
class dresses (do we call that exer-
cise!). Spun linen is just about
t.he coolest this year and IS
wrinkle-proof - a feature that I
for one have been loking for for
years (centenarian??). Then there
are loads of seersuckers and linens
in the dark and light print com-
binations. You can easily see that
it's up to you to be just as sporty
in the classroom as on the tennis
court - don't you think so? -
and be cool both places! Inci-
dentally, but not incidental, Miss
Dillon is showing some lovely vita-
cool summer suits-- just the thing
for all-time wear, and the loveli-
est pastel gabardines that you've
seen. I've given you the lead -
now it's up to you to look (take a
big look while you're at it) into the
matter,
AND THEN there is the scent
for every summer costume - an-
other little matter you might look
into! For the sports lady it's
Tweed, floral perfumes ' for the
summer afternoons in a fresh
frock, and gardenia, carnation, or
spicy for the mid-summer evening
and a flowing filmy gown. And it's
CALKINS-FLETCHERS that will
provide you with your summer
scent. Yes, perfumes, toilet waters,
colognes cannot be dispensed with
for your coming vacation to make
you fresh and charming at all
times of the day. And another
thing these perfumes come in your
favorite "make" - and in suiting
yourself in your OWN particular
iproduct, you can suit yourself
with the various odors. It's all
yours for the asking - so take
your pick and ask!
DON'T be at loose ends with
your hair! Why not try a long
bob for a change and curl the ends
under - something new and dif-
ferent, no less - and very smart.
Or we might try old-fashioned
fluffy bangs, in fact, there's any
number of cutely peculiar ways to
wear your hair - and right now I
suggest that you trot down to the
DI MATTIA BEAUTY SHOP and
either describe your heart's desire
or ask for suggestions, both of
which you will get and then some!
Take advantage of this, and let
.your crowning glory really glow
with smartness and femininity,
because the smart lady of 1937 is
