It has lessened the flow, if any, of Russian raw materials into Germany. Peace in Finland would not change that immediately or for a long time to come. Relatively, Russia is as es- hausted as Finland. It would ,how- ever, enable Germany to concentrate her attention on her western sea and land frontiers, and on protection of her southeastern economic contacts, still beyond reach of the Allied block- ade except by diplomatic pressure. Peace in Finland on a made-in- Berlin basis must go down if it comes, asia new diplomatic coup for Hitler, particularly if forewarnings of a Germany military attack in the west this spring prove to be founded on fact. If might also precipitate a political crisis in England. Organ Recital Will Be Given Prof. Christian To Present Third In Season's Series Prof. Palmer Christian, University organist, will present the third in the season's series of twilight organ recitals at 4:15 p.m. today in Hill Auditorium. He will be assisted by Thelma Newell, violinist, and Helen Titus, pianist, of the faculty of the School of Music. A former soloist with such or- chestras as the Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia Symphonies and the New York Philharmonic, Professor Christian has been a studuent of Dic- kinson, Schreck, Straube and Gull- mant. Miss Titus has studied under Pattison and Miss Newell, a graduate of the University School of Music, has been a student of Kortschak and Scholnick. Among the selections scheduled to be heard on the program are Cha- conne in C, Two Choral Preludes and Fugue in C by Buxtehude, Elgar's Allegro maestoso (Sonata in G) and "Aftonfrid" (Evening Peace) by Hlagg. They will also play Sonata No. 2 for Violin and Piano in G major by Grieg and will conclude the program by presenting "Romance" and "Fin- landia" by Sibelius. 5 3 Degrees, 40 Citations Given B1y University Students at the University may choose from 53 different degrees in selecting the ones for which they intend to work, Dr. Frank E. Robbins, Assistant to the President, said yes- terday.. In addition to the degrees, 40 cita- tions may be added by diploma de- partments, indicating the field of concentration of the recipient of the degree. For instance, Doctor Robbins pointed out, adegree from the Col lege of Engineering may be B.S.E. (E.M.), standing for Bachelor of Sci- ence in Engineering, in the field of' engineering mechanics. Sixteen such citations are offered to students of engineering, one to those of the literary college, two by the School of Forestry and Conser- vation and the College of Architec- ture and Design, and one by the medical school. The School of Music offers nine different citations, apply- ing them to both the bachelor's and the master's degrees, B.Mus. and M.Mus respectively. The graduate school offers 31 de- grees, more than any other college or school of the University. Included in the degrees granted by this school are A.M., Master of Arts., Ph.D., Doctor of Philosophy; Sc.D., Doctor of Science; and M.S., Master of Sci- ences. The literary college offers three distinct degrees, Doctor Robbins said, A.B., Bachelor of Arts; A.B.L.S., Bachelor of Arts in Library Science, * and B.S., Bachelor of Science. The College of Engineering offers only one degree, B.S.E., Bachelor of Science in Engineering.

The tutorial program, according to Phil Westbrok, '40, president of Congress, will provide for a better distribution of scholastic ability among independents by arranging for students from the ranks of Phi Eta Sigma and Tau Beta Pi, literary and engineering honorary fraterni- ties, to serve as tutors for less for- tunate students. A panel of approximately 50 men has been chosen for tutoring ser- vices. Each is willing to give several hours of instruction a week to stu- dents who are finding rough going in their studies. The tutor may charge a maximum of 20 cents per hour if he so wishes. Independents who believe they need help may register from 2 until 5 p.m. each afternoon Monday thru Friday at the Congress offices, Room 306 in the Union. The Congress plan, according to Prof. Arthur J. Van Duren, academic counselor, is intended to help stu- dents who, because of sickness, out- side work; or other reasons, ,have dropped behind in their studies. It is designed to provide aid throughout Campus Rule At Minnesota Gains Prestige By WILLIAM ELMER Minnesota has approximately the same organizations that are some- times classified under the heading "student government" that exist here on the Michigan campus, according to Charles W. Roberts, editor of The Minnesota Daily. One big difference, however, Rob- erts indicated, is the All-University Council, which roughly corresponds to the local Student Senate. This organization, which is elective, adop- ted a new constitution several years ago, Roberts said, resulting in great- er prestige and more power. In ad- dition to the Council, there is a Union Board of Governors, which unlike our Michigan Union Staff, is elective. Altogether, there are about 150 or- ganizations on campus, Roberts said, and at various times, the crystallized protest of the student body, as re- flected by these bodies, has resulted in administrative action to alleviate problems affecting students. "A faculty housing survey, better light- ing in the library, the abolition of compulsory drill and many other accomplishments can be chalked up to the efforts of student organiza- tions-The Minnesota Daily among them," Roberts said. One striking difference between student-administration relations here and at Minnesota is that very few students take any part in University administration of extra-curricular affairs, as our various Boards in Con- trol, Committee on Student Affairs, and other student-represented bodies of the University. On the contrary, at Minnesota the situation is reversed -the university has little to do with student activities except through a Student Affairs office, which provides auditing services and office space for many organizations, and keeps tab on them merely by recognizing their existence or not. the semester rather than during "cram" session immediately preced- ing examinations. The program was organized last year by Jack Shuler, '40E. This year's reorganization has been di- rected by Richard L. Shuey, '42E, and David Panar, '41E, heading a committee consisting of: Paul Bull, '43, Charles Kuchar, '40, Claude V, Wadsworth, '40E, George M. Vial, '41E, Robert Mack, '42. City To Boycott Land Hearing Laird Of Questions Legality Board's Power Summer camP Will Be Scene Of Field Study Geographers To Convene On Straits Of Mackinaw; Course Begins June 24 The University's 47th annual Sum- mer Session will begin June 24 not only on the campus here in Ann Arbor, but also in a woodland camp far from Gasoline Age civilization. From that date until August 16, student geographers will convene at the Geography Summer Camp in Wilderness State Park about ten miles west of Mackinac City on the shores of the Straits of Mackinaw. There they will learn, "by doing," the various techniques of field map- ping. They will also delve into the archives of local courthouses to stu- dy land ownership and tax records, and will acquire practice in modern methods of conservation aft lad utilization. Open to both men and women, the Camp's only requirements for ad- mission are faculty recommendation and an interest in its activities. Two eight-hour courses are offered: Georgraphy 105, Field Course in Ge- ography, and Geography 205, Ad- vanced Field Course. As part of the Summer Session, the Camp requires that all partici- pants be registered in the Session. The regular fee of $35 for Michigan residents and $50 for out-staters must be paid before the student ar- rives, and he must pay in addition a camp fee of $125. The latter in- cludes board and room and trans- portation expenses from and to Ann Arbor. Students must obtain the permis- sion of Prof. Kenneth C. McMurry of the geography department before they register at the Camp. Enroll- ment is limited. A hearing will be conducted by the Stae Land Office Board at 1 p.m. to- day in Lansing on the purchase of property at the state salvage sale by the City of Ann Arbor and the local school board; but the city will have no qfficial representative pres- ent, nor will it recognize the hearing or the right of the Land Office Board to hold such a hearing. According to City Attorney William M. Laird, the Board, through its ex- ecutive secretary, Clarence W. Lock, had agreed to postpone the hearing, originally understood by Laird to be set for last Monday, until Friday. Monday night City Treasurer William F. Verner was notifed by the Board that the hearing would be held at 1 p.m. today. An answer received yes- terday to an inquiry by Laird verified that time and denied any guarantee of a hearing on Friday. Laird stated that the city would not recognize the right of the Board to repudiate its agreement for a hearing Friday, and would challenge the right of the Board to hold such a hearing. The State Land Office is not a court, Laird claimed, and has no right to pass on the legality of actions by the city council. The hearing was scheduled in re- sponse to a petition filed by 35 Ann Arbor taxpayers challenging the right of the city and the school board to purchase land obtained at the state salvage sale, and requesting the action be declared void.

Good Transport, Adains Professor Claims British Ship Can Out-Maneuver Any Submarine Afloat By A. P. BLAUSTEIN "If the British sent the 'Queen Eliz- abeth' to the United States to be used as a transport for either men or sup- plies they picked an excellent ship for the purposes," Prof. Henry C. Adams of the naval architecture and marine engineering department, said yesterday. Contrary to popular belief, Profes- sor Adams continued, the "Queen Elizabeth" is well equipped to make ocean crossings despite the fact that many claim she is not yet finished. The only thing she lacks in construc- tion, he explained, are walls divid- ing the decks into staterooms, rugs, furnitue and other things desirable for luxury ocean travel but not at all necessary for the transportation (if possible troops, food or weapons. Highly Speculative "This, of course is highly specula- tive," he pointed out, "as the prob- able reason for the 'Queen Eliza- beth's' voyage was to safeguard her against German bombings, but we can't overlook the fact that she can be used as a transport and as such it's better for Britain to have her over here." Her great speed, about 30 knots per hour, would enable her to do without much of a convoy as she could prob- ably out-maneuver any submarine afloat, he went on to say, and even if torpedoes did strike home they would have much difficulty in sinking this "four compartment boat." "A four compartment boat is not a boat with four comparments, as most people believe," he explained, "for she certainly hasn't less com- partments than the 'Queen Mary' and datys Queen. E lIimztbeI t1' W hIould Make ll ' fA"V11 she has 17. What we mean by that trin" is that it is necessary to destroy four adjoining compartments in or- der to sink the ship. As a vessel built like she could have as maiiy as six or seven leaking sections and still remain afloat." Gun Foundations Noting that the "Queen Elizabeth" is probably equipped with gun foun- dations to enable her to mount six- inch weapons, Professor Adams ob- served that she would probably be able to hold off any submarines or destroyers that attacked her. "Her speed would also make her a diffleult target on the open sea," he said, "and her strength would necessitate a number of direct hits to sink her." Her capacity to carry men and supplies is tremendous, Professor Adams concluded, as she is very much larger than the Leviathan, and that carried 10,000 men per trip on her eastern trips and from 12,000 to 13,000 on her return voyages.
