Brandt, chairman of the English department in the Col- lege of Engineering. The committee hopes that radio timle may be allotted for the celebra- tion and that the broadcast originat- ing from a banquet here would be na- tional in scope. Possible entertain- rnent may be furnished in the form of dramatic sketches, a band recital and a few songs by the glee club. The program will be "in keeping with'the idea of a birthday party," Professor Brandt said. Others appointed to the committee by President Ruthven are Prof. Waldo A. Abbot, director of broadcasting, Prof. Robert B. Hall of the geography department, Prof. Herbert A. Ken- yon, director of the Lydia Mendels- sohn theatre, Dr. Charles A. Sink, president of the School of Music, and T. Hawley Tapping, general alumni secretary. Survey Lists Rural Problen Children Rural schools reported nearly twice as many problem children as schools in small cities and towns according to a survey conducted by University sociologists in Branch county recent- ly. Of 3,363 children enrolled in the schools covered by the survey, 401, or 11.9 per cent, were listed by their teachers as problem children. Of 1,109 children in country schools, 191, or 17.2 per cent were listed as "malad- justed." In the urban schools, 210, or 9.3 per cent, of 2,254 boys and girls were problem cases. During the course of the survey, Charles D. Braidwood, research fel- low of the Michigan Child Guidance Institute of the University, collected reports from 126 of Branch county's 195 school teachers. Election Costs Lower The average cost per vote to Ann Arbor this election was 3.6 cents low- er than the cost of the September balloting, and .1 cent lower than that of the November, 1936 election, it was r6vealed yesterday. The cost is figured on the basis of wages for clerks hired. Perfect Specimen Of Petrified Tree Found By Botanist What may prove to be 'a perfect specimen of a petrified tree trunk of the Pennsylvania Age was found by Dr. Chester A. Arnold of the botany department while searching for bot- anical relics near South Park, Colo- rado last summer. The material in the valley near South Park does not contain any coal, but is at the bottom of a thick black shale region. Solidified rocks which provide specimens for the botanists are found strewn over the surface of the valley which is about 100 miles wide. This valley was be- lieved to have been swamp region at one time with hot springs running into it which carried in mineral mat- ter. This mineral matter penetrated the plant cells and crystallized, leav- ing the fossil structure. Severe rain and hail storms were encountered on the trip of Dr. Arnold into this region. The mornings were beautiful, but by noon dark clouds surrounded the mountain peaks, and in the early afternoon, collecting was over. The rains reached flood stage several times during his stay. Dr. Arnold found the specimen some distance from an open road in the midst of an area strewn with t debris from a recent flood. In this ! circumstance, he had to carry the 75 pound rock on his back to the car. While the pith and phloem, softer I part of the tree found in the center and outside o? the trunk, have been rotted away, cells of the xylem or main portion of the trunk may be distinctly seen under a microscope. "This discovery is unusual," said Dr. Arnold, "first because very little plant material of the Pennsylvania Age has come from the western states, and second, it is rarely that we find petrified material of that age in such quantities."
