Forestry Camp Gives Students Actual Experience In Outdoors Newspapers And Magazines Get Much Informatioxi 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. Requests from national magazines afor information are: handled by the ' Service.

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.
