THE MiCHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, APIL , 1942 200 Students Attend Closing ParleyPanels Three Groups Of Post-War Conference Debate Plans For 'Peace To Follow' (Continued from Page 1) write the peace alone, or wield in- ordinate power in the postwar con- gress. Social and psychological insecurity, a special characteristic of the age of technology, was laid at the doorstep of economic' maladjustment and un- equal distribution in the panel con- cerned with social and psychological insecurity. I Economic insecurity leads to a psy- chological feeling of insecurity which in turn results in rationalization of status so that a minority group can be made a convenient scapegoat, it was pointed out in initial discussion. It was concluded that oppression of Negroes in America and Jews in Germany were the direct result of this economic isecurity. The panel showed unusual agree- ment for such a discussion with the only major dispute on whether other factors than economic were impor- tant in race prejudice. The unanim- ity resulted in the adoption of a reso- lution at the end of the session. The resolution couched in general terms recognized the need of ex- tending "social and economic demo- cracy" through the war and urged that "students and citizens lend their support to those groups" around them "which seek to extend such democracy and oppose the forces of social and economic reaction. CDVO Group makes Survey Plight Of Unsupervised Youngsters Is Studied War industry's orphans-children Whose parents are both working in local defense plants-are the subject of a current survey sponsored by the Ann Arbor Council of Social Agencies i cooperation with the Civilian De- fense Volunteer Office. Over 100 families have already been interviewed by'ODVO volunteers who are gathering data on parents' occu- pations, working hours, combined in- come, and number of children in each age group. As day nursery facilities are very limited at present, a serious problem has arisen in these homes, according to the CDVO. In some cases, children are on the streets or at home all day without parental care, the CDVO re- ported. Other CDVO projects, set up this week include a clippings file of all defense information published in De- troit and New York newspapers and the creation of machinery for in- stant mobilization of protective serv- ices in the event of air raids or sabo- tage. Volunteers are still needed for work as clinical receptionists and assist- ants at the University Hospital which has been set up as an army base hospital unit, according to the CDVO. Further volunteer activities find CDVO members recruiting for the armed forces and aiding in the blood plasma drive. The latter project has made invaluable use of burly faculty- men who are fit to carry patients. Swintg Maestro Unifoim Financial Operations Urged For Local Governmient, RUSS MORGAN * * * Local Theatre Will Feature Russ Morgan Everybody "hep." attention! The smooth dance arrangements that are identified with "Music in the Morgan Manner" are scheduled to bring down the roof April 24-25 when Russ Morgan and his orchestra entertain local alligators at the Mich- igan Theatre. Blonde and blue-eyed Phyllis Lynne will be in the vocal slot, and her sparkling, refreshing renditions of novelty songs-like "Johnnie's in the Pantry" and "Don't Let Julia Fool Ya"-supported by Morgan's sweet arrangements are sure to keep the party in the proverbial groove. Last year Morgan went on a na- tion-wide tour which took his or- chestra to the West coast and Holly- wood where, besides playing an en- gagement at the Palladium, million- dollar nitery in the film capital, he made several movie shorts. During this tour he played at such outstanding hotels and ballrooms as the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chi- cago, the Cavalier Club at Virginia Beach, the Steel Pier in Atlantic City and the Totem Pole in Boston. By GEORGE SALLADE Adoption of legislation for uniform accounting, auditing and reporting in local government units in Michigan is suggested by Dr. Robert S. Ford, director of the Bureau of Govern- ment, and Albert Waxman, former research assistant, in the Bureau's ptblication, "Financing Government in Michigan," released yesterday. According to the authors such a plan would strengthen local govern- ment by placing its financial opera- tions on an intelligible and compara- ble basis for citizens. It would make it possible to carry out an economy program for both state and local expenditures but would not transfer any local power to the states or dis- turb already existing relationships between state and local units. In the 27-year period from 1913 to 1939 there has been a phenomenal increase in the amount of govern- mental expenditures in the state of Michigan. The combined costs of state and local government, excluding money spent directly in Michigan by the federal government, rose from $51,000,000 in 1913 to $374,000,000 in 1939. One of the most significant changes in the period was the decline in local property tax levies from $237,000,000 in 1931 to $155,000,000 in 1935-a re- duction of $83,000,000-the studies made by Dr. Ford and Waxman show. State aid to these units during the same period rose from $39,000,000 million to $130,000,000-an increase of $91,000,000. Federal Aid Increased The authors of the new publication point out that in the ten years from 1930 to 1939 federal aid and direct federal expenditures played a more important role than at any time be- fore in Michigan governmental fi- nance. During this decade federal aid increased by almost $20,000,000. Direct expenditures in Michigan by federal agencies that were not even in existence in 1930 amounted to $168,000,000 in 1939. Outlays by the state government are mostly for highways, education, hospitals and corrections, and wel- fare. In 1939 these functions were responsible for 87 percent of state governmental costs and state aid. The relative importance of taxes as a source of revenue to the state has fluctuated during the period from 1913 to 1939. In 1913, taxes, licenses and fees accounted for 92 percent of total receipts, but in 1935,s when federal aid hit a new peak, theyi amounted to only 55 percent of total receipts. Reductions Necessary Dr. Ford and Waxman explain that' with the rise in federal taxes and borrowing during the year, state and local units will probably find it nec- essary to reduce expenditures. This will provide a strong incentive for the adoption of measures leading to greater economy and efficiency in government. Such measures would include, for the state government, further im- provement in centralized purchasing, more supervision of local financial practices through a requirement for uniform accounting, auditing and re- porting, as well as administrative reorganization of the type repre- sented by the new Department of Revenue and the State Department of Social Welfare. In the case of local government there are many opportunities for economy through reorganization and consolidation. The problem is par- ticularly acute among the 6,600 school districts. In view of the fact that state aid now accounts for about one- half of the state disbursements, it is evident that modification of the local structure is not entirely a local problem and that it should be in- cluded in a comprehensive program of governmental economy. Dorothy Visscher Wins Higbie Prize FIor Novel Design The Jane Higbie Award, annually given to the sophomore in the Col- lege of Architecture and Design showing the greatest promise in re- gard to originality and workmanship in Decorative Design, was recently presented to Dorothy L. Visscher, '44A. The faculty jury making selections also awarded Albert B. Chipman, '44A, second place and Harvey R. Littleton, '44A, honorable mention. This jury was composed of Prof. Walter J. Gores, chairman, Prof. Catherine B. Heller, Prof. Emil Wed- dige, Prof. Donald Gooch, Prof. Jean Paul Slusser, Prof. A. Mastro Valerio, and Dean Wells I. Bennett. Through the generosity of Prof. and Mrs. H. H. Higbie, this $50 award for students in Decorative Design was established in memory of their daughter, a former student in the College. The basis, for judging the contestants was their entire work, the qualifications of the candidates, their personality, a letter stating the student's aims in art, and a sketch problem without criticism. In connection with the sketch problem, this year each student com- petitor was required to make a design or composition related to the sub- ject, "Rumor." The purpose of the design was to demonstrate within the limitation of four hours, a spon- taneous example of the student's im- aginative and creative ability. Other contestants were Richard Allen, '44A, R. Esther Guntley, '44A, and Stanley Glassman, '44A. ROTC Outshoots Rivals A double victory was scored by the military ROTC over their blue clad rivals from North Hall Friday when they took victories in both var- sity and freshman rifle competition. Honors Plan Will Include Sophom'ores Closest approach to a "trade school" in thinking, the Degree Pro- gram for Honors in Liberal Arts is now open to sophomores with a B average. Applicants will be inter- viewed from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday until May 1 in Room 1204 Angell Hall. The honors program, instituted four years ago as one of the Univer- sity's major education experiments, offers work in three fields-science,{ social science and literature. Ap- proximately forty students are en- rolled at present in five junior and three senior groups.I In addition to conducting its classes under a highly-individualized tutorial system, the Honors program is also unique in its stress placed on devel- opment of student thought and writ- ten expression. The purely technical aspects of subject matter are de- emphasized to further such an aim. Exemplifying this purpose to the highest extent is the group. studying classical literature under the tutor- ship of Prof. S. D. Dodge of the' geog- raphy department. Professor Dodge, who has long felt that the works of the great social scientists are applicable to all sci- ences, has organized this group's work! under the famed reading list used by St. John's College at Annapolis. With this list in mind, Professor Dodge has assigned reading in the classics (which he defines as "any first-rate books.") The ideas of the Iliad and Plato's Republic were anal- yzed last semester both in context and in terms of their importance to the present society. "The main purpose of this group's study is to learn to read critically and to be able to express one's own thoughts as simply and as clearly as the best writers have done," Profes- sor Dodge asserted yesterday. Professor Dodge is a firm advocate of increased educational emphasis on English and mathematics since he has found many specially-trained men to be gravely deficient in these so-called elementary processes. Glee Club To Sing Today The University of Michigan Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. David Mattern of the School of Mu- sic, will conclude the International Center's regular series of Sunday eve- ning programs with a concert at 8 p.m. today in the Union Ballroom. All students who have attended the year's series are especially invited for this evening's program. "Battle Songs of Freedom," a pro- gram of patriotic melodies with con- tinuity written by the advanced play- writing class of Kenneth T. Rowe, Professor of English, will be pre- sented for the second time today at the Ford Naval Station in Dearborn, by students of David Owen's radio class. The Civic Music Association origin- ally gave "Battle Songs" in Hill Aud- itorium on February, employing for the first time continuity in its an- nual show. Moreover, this was the earliest script of this type to be based on a defense theme. With choirs ticipating, it ful that 100, and audience par- proved so success- copies were sent to Glauser Will Play In Carillon Reeital Featuring some of his own compo- sitions, Percival Price, University Carillonneur, will present a carillon recital from 7:15 p.m. to 8 p.m. to- day. This concert will introduce a new carillonneur to Ann Arbor, when Hugh Glauser will be heard playing an air for carillon with variations in classical style and also a duet with Professor Price. This duet, Rhapsodie 1 for two carillonneurs, will close the program. It is unusual to have more than one player at the keyboard, but Professor Price, persuaded some years ago that effects not possible by one performer could be obtained. by two, composed this piece as an experiment in that field. He has since composed two others, the newest of which will be heard in the final program of the spring series.
