mehers of the Un versity
Notices
To the Members of the University
Senate:.At the meeting of the Uni-
versity Council on March 9 the fol-
lowing recommendations of the
Standing Committee on Educational
Policies were adopted, that:
1. The University Council approve
the principle of regulating the em-
ployment procedures between the
University and its special employees
according to a systematic plan based
on analysis and classification of posi-
tions.
2. The University Council approve
the principle of maintaining reason-
able uniformity of salaries for com-
parable positions by means of a sal-
ary scale for special services.
3. The University Council approve
the principle of grouping the many
positions in the special services (as
described by class specifications and.
allocations, with the exception of
positions in the technician series) in-
to a few levels, assuring to all occti-
pants of any given level the same
broad rights, privileges, and preroga-
tives within the University.
4. The University Council approve
the procedures now in operation
whereby appointments, compensa-
tion, and other conditions of service
are recommended by the department
concerned and approved by an ap-
,propriate personnel committee.
5. The University Council recom-
mend that questions of duties, status,
and privileges of the special services
shall continue to be studied by an
appropriate personnel committee in
consultation with administrative re-
presentatives of the groups concerned.

ous of planting gardens this summer.f

and fitted ready for use at the propert
time.

character "references," Women's Ju-
diciary chooses committee heads af-
ter an interview lasting from three
to ten minutes. These appointments
are submitted to League Council for
approval.
Women's Judiciary Committee is
also unique in that it sponsors the
only body representing every woman
on campus-a monthly meeting of
dormitory, cooperative, sorority and
League House presidents.
According to Miss Baits, this body
has only the power of suggestion. It!
cannot pass resolutions .nor can it
initiate legislation. Attendance var-
ies and Miss Baits told The Doily
that "two-thirds is unfortunately anj
average roll-call."
(Much campus criticism of the re-
cent war-rationed curfews centered
around the fact that this house presi-
dents' group had not been called be-
fore new hours were imposed. Wo-
men's Judiciary Committee could
only be concerned with enforcement
and therefore had no standing as a
vehicle of student opinion.)
While the system of appointments
to Women's Judiciary Committee is
not "foolproof," according to Miss
Baits, it has set up a group which
has a thorough sense of its responsi-
bility. All members, before being
inducted, must take a pledge to ful-

nounced yesterday that preparation
for the Ann Arbor Art Association's
latest exhibition, "An Introduction
to Architecture," is well under way

The exhibition, one of the Associa-
tion's climax shows, is designed to
explain what architecture really is.
It is directed by Professor Mundt in
collaboration with the staff and stu-
dents of the architecture college and
will be exhibited in the Rackham
Building's display galleries.
Professor Mundt in revealing the
details of the exhibition explained
that the first of its four galleries is
designed to explain architecture in
terms of a three-dimensional spate
concept, while the other galleries
will deal with the history of archi-
tecture and the history of the Amer-
ican home.
"Here Is Tomorrow," a film on
consumer cooperation, will be pre-
sented at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in
Room 222 of the Union by the

Demands on telephone service today are heavier than ever
before. Army and Navy, governmental bureaus, war indus-
.tries . ... all are using more telephone calls to speed war
activities. Telephone "traffic" is at its peak between 10 a.m.
and noon, and between 2 and 4 p.m.
You can help keep lines clear for vital war use by being brief
with your personal calls, and by placing them at times other
than morning and afternoon rush hours".
