From Periodic Releases
Scorning the loud and exhibitionis-
tic type of publicity-hunting, the
University News Service interprets to
nearly 800 newspapers the purposes
of the University and its genuine ac-
complishments.
The Service covers all activities
from Regents' meetings to fraternity
dances and gleans from the campus
in the course of a year more than
190,000 pages of copy. Athletic events,
covered by Phil Pack's Athletic Pub-
licity Office, are the only activities
outside its province. The Service is
supervised by Wilfred B. Shaw, and
its active operations are handled by
Donald K. Anderson, '37, and Mrs.
Ruth E. Trezise, '36.
How thoroughly the Service seeks
out all possible news items is re-
vealed by a survey of its activities. If
a faculty member is to give a speech,
the Service requests a copy of the
talk in advance, so that newspapers
can report it the day it is given. The
Service keeps in constant contact
with department heads.
After each Regents' meeting there
is a press conference at which re-
porters are informed of the resolu-
tions passed by the Board. For per-
sonal items and social activities the.
Service usually relies on The Daily.
More than 5,000 items have been
sent out this year.

Forestry and Conservation, said yes-
terday.
The camp, which will be the sum-
mer home of 60 forestry students this
year, Professor Craig stated, offers
practical experience, a valuable addi-
tion to the training of a good forester.
A summer at the camp is a part of
the forestry curriculum, Professor
Craig explained, and each student is
required, to spend one summer there,
usually after his sophomore year, in
order to graduate. Courses in men-
suration, forest fire protection and
improvement and forest reconnais-
ance comprise the regular schedule
of ten hours credit.
Swimming, boating and fishing
take up a great deal of the spare time
of the students, the director pointed
out. Classes are dismissed at noon
every Saturday, he said, and the
weekends are usually spent in explor-
ation of the great forest lands which
surround the camp.
The mess hall, according to many
students the most important building
on the grounds, is run on a coopera-
tive basis, Professor Craig explained.'
Students set the table, prepare the
food to be cooked by a hired "chef,"
and wash the dishes after the meals.
Students are housed in three dor-
mitory units having rooms for 72
persons, the director stated. Together
with classrooms, offices and shops,
there are fourteen main buildings at
the camp, he said.
frequent queries for data on some
University activity or personality. The
article fetured in "Life" recently on
the McMath-Hulbert Observatory
was supplied by the News Service.
One of the biggest tasks of the
Service is that of supplying items
about students to their hometown
papers. At present the Service is mail-
ing out the pictures of all graduates,
taken from the "Michiganensian."
Newspaper response to the Service's
information has proved that the clip-'
sheets are welcome to editors. More
than 1,500 items were printed in one
month this year, while 460 local
papers within the State and 325
metropolitan dailies are on the mail-
ing list.
To determine how widely its items
are used, the Service subscribes to
Romeike's Clipping Service. With the
aid of N.Y.A. workers, a map is be-
ing prepared which will show all the
localities in which stories concern-
ing the University have been printed.
Sociology Group To Picnic
As a climax to their season's activi-
ties, Alpha Kappa Delta, national
honorary sociology fraternity, will
hold a picnic this afternoon at Hu-
ron-Dexter Park.
Attractions of the picnic, which
will last from 2:30 to approximately 9
p.m., include baseball, wading, Chi-
nese checkers, a full moon, singing,
and a campfire at which food will be
served.
