WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1940, THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN WEDNESDAY, DECEMI~ER 11, 1940 PAGE SEVEII Engine School Will Add Four New Courses Crawford Says Additions Will Prepare Students For Essential War Work (Continued from Page 1) tion courses will be given by the mechanical engineering department, the "refresher" in materials by the mechanical and chemical engineer- ing departments together and the tool engineering course by the metal processing department. Other Uni versity technical staffs will be called in to aid in instruction at a later date. Although many of the ,individuals completing this training will receive positions in war industries, neither the Education Office nor the Uni- versity will guarantee the finding of them. "Both gr6ups, ho'wever," Dean Crawford said, "will make every en- deavor to find satisfactory places." While the opening date for the starting of these courses has not been definitely set, it is believed that they will be underway about the middle of January. Persons interested should write as soon as possible to the Dean's Office at the College of En- gineering. Good fellows To Aid Needy In Ann Arbor (Continued from Page 1) books so that she can finish high school while still living securely with her own family. For six ,years Mr. R has had a steady job, laboring in a factory on a schedule that takes all his meager reserve of strength. It is rather dis- -couraging, therefore, when his wages barely stretch to take care of his large family of seven growing child- ren. When unexpected illness and ex- pense upsets just can't be handled, the Bureau has had to stand ready to help materially with clothing, fuel, and milk for the children, who are underweight. John, the oldest boy, now 14, has been neglected by his worried father; in fact, Mr. R sometimes resents John's dependence on him as one more burden which he feels inad- equate to carry. John for a time be- gan to steal the sweets and toys which his father had refused to buy him, and the Bureau has tried to help the boy secure his privileges by work of his own. Relief in this family has had a two-fold purpose: first, to supply the needs which Mr. R's wages can- not always meet, thereby preventing him from getting too discouraged and giving up entirely, as he has often wanted to do; and second, to substitute constructive places for the tendencies already shown by John. Joan Peebles To Be Soloist' In Messiah' University's Financial Report Reveals Decrease In State Aid Joan Peebles, New York contralto,/ will be brought to Ann Arbor for the University Musical Society's presen- tation of Handel's "Messiah," Charles A. Sink, president, announced yes- terday. Miss Peebles will sing with the Thoral Union of 300 voices and with he University Symphony Orchestra of 80 players under the baton of Thor Johnson, 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18 in Hill Auidtorium. Other soloists will be Thelma von-Eisenhauer, De- troit soprano, William Hain, tenor, and Richard Hale, baritone, who has been heard in the past on May Fes- tival programs. The organ portion of the program will be played by Palmer Christian, University organist. The "Messiah" performance, ac- cording to Dr. Sink, constitutes the Society's Christmas contribution to music lovers of Ann Arbor and its environs. No admission charge will be made, but to avoid undue conges- tion and confusion, admission will b£ by tickets procured in advance at the offices of the society in Burton Tower. Requests, accompanied by self-addressed, stamped envelopes will be filled by mail. Tickets will be honored up to 7:50 p.m. the eve- ning of the rectal, after which time admittance will not be guaranteed. Goodfellows - Monday Christmas Flowers Exhibit Being Held An exhibition of Christmas flowers is being shown this week and next at the Nielsen Greenhouse on Maiden Lane to give students, members of the faculty and townspeople an op- portunity to see many of the blooms not grown regularly during the win- ter months. The largest single exhibit housed under the 100,000 square feet of glass at the greenhouse consists of more than 10,000 poinsettia blooms. Other flowers included in the showing are gardenias, carnations, violets and roses. Altogether more than 40,000 plants are being shown. Students who wish to see the dis- play are urged to do so as soon as possible because shipment of plants to all parts of the country is ex- pected to begin about Dec. 15. While University enrollment was increasing by approximately one- third during the decade beginning with the school year 1929-30, State contributions to the University for operating expenses dropped nearly six percent. the newly issued Finan- cial Report for 1939-40 indicates. Enrollments of students in courses for credit, including extension work, jumped approximately from 15,000 to 20,000 during the ten-year period, and State appropriations were de- creased by more than $251,000. At the same time, State contribu- ions remained substantially the same percent of the total spent by the University on operating expenses. This indicates that last year's op- erating expenditure per student, pro- vided by the state, was well below the 1929-30 figure. Although the total operations bud- get of the University was more than $7,926,000 (exclusive of approximate- ly $2,000,000 in hospital receipts), it 2annot be compared accurately with ,he 1929-30 budget of approximately $6,500,000. The 1929-30 figure omit- ted income from various trust funds and endowments which would have brought it to a level practically the same as last year's. The Report further indicates that during the year 1939-40 the total assets of the University increased by nearly $3,000,000, net. A large part Phi Kappa Phi To Hold Dinner Titiev Will Give Address At Society's Initiation Phi Kappa Phi, senior scholastic honorary society. will hold its semi- innual initiation banquet at 6:15 p.m. tomorrow in the League. The main address of the evening will be given by Prof. Mischa Titiev of the anthropology department on 'The Peaceful People," the Hopi Indian tribes. The talk is expected to consider the various aspects of their culture and to show how their society has managed to settle their disputes without war. Professor Titiev, who has been at the University since 1935, is a well known authority on the Hopi In- dians, having written articles on such diverse parts of their culture as their racing customs, method of baking sweet corn, cross-cousin marriage problems and their use of kinship terms in their ritual. A graduate of Harvard University. Professor Titiev has been active in University Museums work and is a member of the American Anthropol- ogy Association, the American Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Sci- ence, the American Oriental Society and the Michigan Academy.

Kollin appointed a temporary or- ganization committee which will con- tact the president of each house re- garding their houses' activities on Congress' projects. of this gain was realized in additions to the educational plant, for which the total gain was approximately $4,750,000. Against this increase, which in- cludes the value of the new Health Service, residence halls, the new Dental Building addition and build- ings of the McMath-Hulbert Observa- tory at Lake Angelus, there is an offset of nearly $2,500,000 in cash included in the 1938-39 assets, ex- pended for new buildings. Of the University's assets, build- ings and equipment accounted for the large concentrations of value. more than $35,000,000 and $13,000,- 000 respectively. Another large item in the asset side of the Report's bal- ance sheet is the fund invested in endowments, more than $15,600,000. Lands owned by the University come to more -than $6,400,000 in value, according to the Report.
