University Budget Reaches
$9,000; Nearly Doubles
State Appropriation
A record Summer Session enroll-
ment of more than 5,000 students, an
Institute of International Law replete
with nationally-known authorities in!
the field, eight plays, a number of
lectures, an industrial strike, a Uni-
versity budget of almost $9,000;000
and the reactions of local Chinese
students to the war in the Orient
helped make news for The Daily dur-
ing the Summer Session, a survey of
the files shows.
The budget, probably the most in-
teresting item from the point of view
f regular students, nearly double the
amount of the State legislature's ap-
propriation, includes the University
Hospital budget of $2,423,199. The
hospital is a self-supporting institu-
tion under the direction of the Board
of Regents. The remainder of the
total, for the University itself,
amounts to $6,478,492.41, an increase
of about $490,000 over last year.
BudgethInsufficient
In spite of the increase, however,
the budget is insufficient for increas-
ing the size of the faculty, which is
% pressing need President Ruthven
has said. Increases in several indi-
vidual faculty salaries, in partial res-
toration of previous cuts made dur-
ing the depression, will be made, it
was understood.
Shortly before th'e release of the
budget figures, the Regents had ac-
cepted pledges and gifts totalling
nearly $90,000, including several re-
search endowments and 250 flower-
ing Japanese cherry trees, the gift of
Japanese alumni.
Arrested In Barcelona
Another development of the early
part of the summer was an occur-
rence far from Ann Arbor but none-
theless of considerable interest to the
town and the University. Charles Orr,
of Ann Arbor, the former a teaching
fellow here in 1935 and his wife, were
arrested and subsequently released on
charges of espionage in Barcelona by
the government of Catalan.
Orr had been engaged in writing
fan English translation of a Trotsky-

Two fires in University buildings
I within three days of each other en-
livened the early part of the Session.
On the night of July 7, the automo-
tive laboratory of the engineering col-
lege caught fire from a spark at a
gasoline pump, causing damage esti-
mated at more than $30,000. On July'
10 a smaller blaze in the chemistry
building caused a $1,100 loss.
The principle excursion of the series
offered students was that made to
Niagara Falls July 16-19. An unex-
pected feature of the trip was a heavy
squall, said to be the worst of the
year, which struck the Lake Erie
steamer carrying the group to Buf-
falo.
Lini Fuhr, a Red Cross nurse re-
cently returned from Loyalist Spain,
gave one of the most striking lec-
tures of the summer, July 22, spon-
sored by the Committee on Medical
Aid to Spanish Democracy, which in-
cludes several members of the Uni-
versity faculty.

haps more significant was the em-
barkation of a few Michigan students,
including a member of last year's
board of editors of The Daily, to fight
for Loyalist Spain in the famous In-

The Institute on International Law,
headed by James Brown Scott, direc-
tor of the division of international
law of the Carnegie Endowment for

number of outstanding special fea-
tures of the Summer Session. Others
were the electronics institute, the
physics institute, and the linguistics
institute.
Lectures Provided
Besides the highly successful season
of the Michigan Repertory Players,
summer dramatic group, diversion
was provided students of the Ses-
sion by the lecture series, which fea-
tured in particular several talks on
Far Eastern art and literature under
the auspices of the new Institute of
Far Eastern Studies. The hit of the
Repertory season proved to be the
finale, Gilbert and Sullivan's "H.M.S.

it had established a new buffer state

Chang, of the English department,
speaking for the Chinese Students
Club, expressed regret for the death
of Americans killed accidentally by
Chinese bombs in Shanghai. Next day
the club despatched telegrams to
President Roosevelt, Secretary of
State Cordell Hull and members of
Congress asking them not to invoke
the Neutrality Act, which the stu-
dents believed would be detrimental
to the Chinese defense.

ployes of an Ann Arbor broach and

University-Owned
Hospital Is Famous
The University Hospital, the larg-
est university hospital in the country
and the eighth largest in the country,
is a self-supporting institution built
by the State of Michigan at the cost
of $3,500,000.
One of the finest in the country,'
it contains 1,295 beds and a staff of
about 1,750 employees. Of this group,
approximately 450 are nurses and
about 250 physicians. Eighty-five
per cent of the patients are sent by
the State and county, and only 15
per cent pay their own expenses.
The hospital has been in constant
use since August, 1925.
