Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY - -0 ', r TITSBAT, TERRUAR "I - U -- - - -- -I a Gala Weekend To Be Planned As War Benefit Group Desires To Assist New University Board In Defense Instruction In preparation for a more vigorous action program for the second se- mester, the Student Defense Com- rnittee of 1942 will hold an impor- tant business meeting at 7 p.m. to- morrow in the Glee Club Room of the Union. The most important proposed ac- tivit to be discussed is a plan for the Committee to sponsor a week- end carnival on the order of Michi- gras, but on a more elaborate scale. All proceeds would, of course, go to further the war effort in some way. Bob Sibley, '42, chairman of the Committee, urged that all members attend the meeting, not only to offer advice on the proposed carnival, but also to bring to the attention of the entire group any other ideas they might have. In the first bulletin to the Committee members, Sibley also pointed out what has been done and what is being done at the present time. The recent defense survey, he said, was a definite success and has been turned over to the University War Board for their action. He also stated that the Committee was in good part responsible for the large sale of defense stamp booklets, which amounted to approximately 8,664 throughout the city. A proposal for the institution of non-credit defense courses was re- cently submitted to the War Board. The proposal stated that the Com- mittee was ready to assist in the reg- istration and organization for such 'courses: arrange for qualified stu- dent instructors; handle publicity for the project; and prepare, in con- junction with the War Board, a spe- cial announcement to be distributed to the student body. Craig Is Elected Head Of Statistics Institute Prof. C. C. Craig of the mathe- matics department was elected na- tional president of the Institute of 1Aathematical Statistics at the or- °ganization's annual convention held recently in New York City. Instrumental in founding the In- stitute, Professor Craig has ever since been intimately connected with its affairs. It is the only society in the world devoted to mathematical sta- tistics; and its official journal, the Annals of Mathematical Statistics, is the only publication devoted primar- ily to that subject. Others on campus who are connec- ted with the group include Prof. H. C. Carver, who founded the journal 'in 1930; and Prof. P. S. Dwyer, who became a Fellow of the Institute two years ago. Dr. Weston, Fungi Expert, Will Lecture Dr. William H. Weston, Jr., Pro- fessor of Cryptogamic Botany at Harvard University, will speak at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in the Natural Science Auditorium on the subject,, "Fungi and Fellow Man." Sponsored by the University botany department, Dr. Weston's lecture will be presented in non-technical lan- guage, and all students are invited to attend. Known at Harvard as an inspiring and stimulating teacher, Dr. Weston also has a wide reputation as a popu- lar lecturer and able speaker. In addition to his lectures, he is the author of numerous papers of fungi, and has done much to make the sub- ject popular. Dr. Weston has had considerable experience in the tropics and Pacific areas, serving the United States De- partment of Agriculture and the Tropical Plant Research Foundation in Cuba. He has been pathologist in charge of diseases of sugar cane in the Philippines, made a survey of plant diseases in Guam, and studied trop- ical fungi in the Barro Colorada Is- lands in Gatun Lake, Panama Canal. Dr. Weston has been a visiting professor at Johns Hopkins and is the first president of the Mycological Society of America. New Technice d* To wGivects Worried about a few missing honor points?

As the result of a recent national convention of Sigma Rho Tau mem- bers, it was decided that the organi- zation could best aid the nation's war effort by presenting talks on war top- ics before various civic groups, and first assignments of the talks under the plan will be made today. Complete streamlining of the so- ciety will be in order as new com- mittees, new chairmen, new pro- grams, new circles and new squads will be selected and announced.
