MIDNIGHT OIL:
Crowded Chemistry Classes
Necessitate Swing-Shift Labs
Campus Highlights
Midnight oil is being burned, lit-
erally as well as figuratively, by the
overflow enrollment in introductory
chemistry courses.
The 1,750 students in these courses,
representing an increase of almost
double the pre-war peak, are only an
example in the whole story of over-
crowding in the literary college, where
Law Professors
To Talk in East
Delegates Will
State Judicial
Discuss
Reforms
Unification and reform of the
State judicial procedure will be dis-
cussed by three members of the Law
School faculty who will address the
American Bar Association Conven-
tion scheduled to start Monday in
Atlantic City.
Dean E. Blythe Stason, Profs.
Ralph W. Aigler and Lewis M. Symes
will speak to individual sections of
the convention's 30,000 delegates on
the unification and reform of speci-
fic branches of the law. Dean Sta-
son'stopic willrbe the "State Legis-
lature in Reform of Administrative
Procedure."
Prof. Aigler will discuss "Remedies
for General Clearance of Land Ti-
tles-Statutory Steps," and Prof.
Symes will act as chairman of the
ABA section on probate law.
pressure on facilities for instruction
in basic sciences has been particu-
larly, intense.
Everything is double in the Chem-
istry Building nowadays, with stu-
dents working on experiments as
teams of two rather than individu-
ally. Many of these students do their
laboratory work in one of the twelve
night laboratory classes which have
been organized to accommodate the
overflow from day classes.
Extra Lockers
Between classes, students squeeze
through the halls between rows of
extra lockers necessary for the ex-
perimental equipment required by
each student. Three hundred of
these lockers are Army surplus metal
lockers in which students store equip-
ment not in use.
The crowded situation will be
greatly relieved when an addition to
the Chemistry Building, now under
construction, is completed sometime
in 1948.
Graduate Students
This fall there are 115 graduate
students in chemistry, 40 of these act-
ing asdpart-time teaching fellows.
They direct laboratory work and
thus make possible the instruction of
the record enrollment in introductory
courses. All lectures are given by
regular members of the faculty.
The increased enrollment 'of grad-
uate students has been noted with
gratification by several members of
the chemistry department faculty.

erations to global proportions.
Observatory telescopes are - now
plying the skies in Bloemfontein,
South Africa, as well as Pontiac and
Ann Arbor. to bring new discoveries
in astronomy.
On the bottom of the world at
Hussey Observatory in Africa, Dr.
Richard A. Rossiter of the University
staff has made thousands of new dis-
coveries in the field of "double stars"
with a 28 inch refracting telescope,
built especially for the purpose.
Miss Hazel Losh of the astronomy
department said that the telescope
will be set up near Ann Arbor when
the South African studies are com-
pleted.
Study of the sun is done at Mc-
Math Observatory on Lage Angelus
near Pontiac with special "tower tele-
scopes" through which moving pic-
tures are taken of the sun. These
rare telescopes are the largest now in
existence.
A projected 99 inch reflector tele-
scope will remain uncompleted due
to lack of funds. The giant pyrex
mirror for the telescrope was cast in
July 1936 with the 200 inch disk for
the Mt. Palomar telescope.
Largest of the University tele-
scopes now in operation is the thirty-
seven and one-half inch reflector lo-
cated at the Ann Street Observatory,
devoted exclusively to spectroscopic
work.
