Cost of Living
For Vets Kept
Down at 'U'
Expenses Higher
At Other Schools
The cost of living for single Univer-
sity veterans has not soared as high
here as at four other Michigan
schools, according to a survey made
this week by the Michigan Student
Veterans Association.
Single veterans at Michigan pay an
average of $93.00 each month, the
survey reported, but at Adrian, Flint
Junior College, Highland Perk Jun-
ior College and Cass Technical School
this expense is exceeded by as much
as $40.
The survey compared prices at 14
Michigan schools.
Costs Higher Elsewhere
VO estimated that married veter-
ans here pay out $152.00 each month,
while costs at other schools range
from $121.00 to $166.
Samm Bass, vice-president of the
Ann Arbor Veterans Organization,
said that other schools which report-
ed high expenses laid most of the
blame on abnormal rent prices.
Students at small schools are able
to keep down costs of rent and food
by living at home, according to Bass.
The Michigan Student Veterans
Organization made an intensive study
of the veteran subsistence problem
at their meeting at Kalamazoo last
Saturday.
Allotments Called 'Inadequate'
Bass, who represented the Uni-
versity chapter, found that student
veterans all over Michigan'are unable
to live adequately on the present gov-"
ernment subsistence allotments.
But an effort to bring about a di-
viding up of the Veterans Trust Fund
was unsuccessful, Bass said. He re-
ported that aid from the fund can be
obtained only through one of the
home districts into which the State
has been divided. The provision is
only for emergency use, he was told'
at the conference.
Late Catalogue Publication
Delays Program PlanniIg
Because of a delay in the publica-
tion of summer and fall catalogs,
freshmen and sophomores will be un-
able to plan their elections with their
academic counselors during this
month.
Catalogs will probably be ready
early in June.
TU' Scientists
Will Discuss
Research Bill
The proposed national research
foundation will be discussed at a
meeting of the Association of Uni-
versity of Michigan Scientists at 8
p.m. Monday in the Rackham
Amphitheatre.
A summary of opinions expressed in
the recent poll of University scien-
tists on the question will be given
by Dr. Peter A. S. Smith of the chem-
istry department. Majority opinion
in the survey .approved the Kilgore-
Magnuson Bill.
Dr. Thomas Francis of the epidem-
iology department will report on cur-
rent legislation providing for such
a foundation. Dr. F. H. Test of the
zoology department will be chair-
man.
A report on the meeting of the
Council of Federation of American
Scientists in Pittsburgh will be given
by Dr. Wilfred Kaplan of the mathe-
matics department, and expansion of
the Association's educational activit-
ies will be considered.

sian, .if not picked up by their owners
before May 17th, will be sold to those

UNION MEN NOT ALLOW ED:
Music Camp's Main Problem
Is Breaking 'Unfair Ruling'
Main problem faced by the Inter-
lochen National Music Camp is that
of "breaking the unfair ruling" which
bars union members from partici-
pating in camp activities, according
to Dr. Joseph E. Maddy, president
and secretary of the camp.
"This does not bother us in getting
faculty members," Dr. Maddy said,
since AFM members have been re-
placed with college instructors. "It
does limit us in getting guest conduc-
tors, however," he indicated.
No Union Teachers
The ruling prohibits union mem-
bers from teaching, coaching, con-
ducting or playing any instrument at
Interlochen.
fessional, performing musicians.
Therefore, he said. educators are
vitally ecncerned as to whether union
musicians are given fair treatment
and adequate livelihood.
"All dictators eventually overstep
their power," he continued. "Petrillo
will be no exception. The bill passed
Congress because the AFL did not
support him. The only question now
is how far he can get with AFM
without the support of affiliated
unions."
Capacity Enrollment Expected
The camp will open June 30 this
year with a capacity enrollment of
1,000 full time Vtudents plus 120

By JOHN CAMPBELL
Not so many years from now mot-
orists in the business sections of
large cities may have to use elevators
to reach parking lots.
A definite tendency toward pro-
vision of off-street parking and load-
ing facilities is seen by Prof. Roger
L. Morrison of the highway engineer-
ing and transport department.
"In many cities," he said, "efforts
are now being made to establish
off-street parking centers where
sufficient privately-owned space is
not provided. It is planned that
these parking centers will be ope-
rated by the city or leased by the
city to private operating companies,
with the city maintaining some
supervision."
In the long run, Prof. Morrison
pointed out, it is cheaper to provide
off-street parking centers than to
attempt to widen the streets to per-
mit curb-parking space, since this
usually necessitates tearing down the
fronts of buildings along the street.
"One of the largest and most
successful parking centers now in
operation," he coted, "is located
under the beautiful Union Square
in San Francisco. Composed of four
levels, this parking center can ac-
comodate 1,700 cars at one time."
In Detroit, he said, voters have ap-
proved plans for a parking lot to
be located under Washington
Boulevard, and the group of plan-
ners is trying to sell other cities on
underground parking centers. Prof.
Morrison mentioned the Rackham
Building facilities as a local small-
scale example of underground
loading.
Although the growing trend toward
off-street parking has caused expan-
sion of the ordinary city open parking
lots and parking garages, he said, it
is necessary that building room be
conserved. A solution to this prob-I
lem, he added, is seen by some plan-
ners in the construction of parking
buildings, many stories high, in
which cars can be raised to parking
spaces by elevators or series of ramps.
"Off-street parking centers are be-
ing advocated by highway traffic
experts as a measure to decrease
traffic congestion in large cities,"
Prof. Morrison declared.
