Twenty-one companies will ex-
hibit their products at the fifth
annual Business Machine Show of
the business administration school
today and tomorrow.
The show, to be held in Rms.
46 and 58 of the Business Adminis-
tration Building, will be open from
1 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. even-
ings.
A HIGHLIGHT of the exhibit
will be a demonstration of the
standard calculating machine of
the Orient, the abacus, by Eton
Suh, business administration stu-
dent from Seoul, Korea, at 3:30
p.m. and 8 p.m. today and tomor-
row.
The abacus will perform addi-
tion, subtraction, multiplication,
and division. In the hands of an
expert, the abacus can add or
subtract faster than any business
machine, according to Suh.
"However, the Oriental calcula-
tor is quite a bit slower in doing
multiplication and division prob-
lems," Suh conceded .
-* * *
IN ADDITION to demonstrating
his machine, Suh will perhaps ac-
cept a challenge to race with one
of the modern adding machines.
Suh pointed out, however, that
he had only been using the aba-
cus for five years and was prob-
ably not proficient enough with
it to beat a modern machine on
any difficult problem.
Besides the abacus, the display
will feature all kinds of business
machines, according to Jim Kelly,
'52 BAd, chairman of the student
committee in charge of arranging
the show.

Need for Aid
Agency Seen
By 'U'_Prof.
America's programs of economic
and military aid badly need uni-
fication under a central agency,
Prof. James K. Pollock, chairman
of the political science department,
said yesterday in an address at the
University of North Carolina.
"Since 'V-J Day the United
States has spent forty-two and one
half 'billion dollars in foreign aid
through 28 different programs,"
the former Hoover Commissioner
declared.
"It is now perfectly clear that
more will have to be spent in other
programs now in preparation."
Considering the newness and the
magnitude of the tasks which con-
fronted us overseas since the war,
he continued, we have done an
amazingly good job, he said.
"Now, however, we are no longer
justified in continuing the disburs-
ed and diffused administration of
these huge programs in numerous
departments a n d agencies in
Washington."
An Administration of Overseas
Affairs, a central agency to han-
dle these aid programs is badly
needed, Prof. Pollock said. Such
an agency has been recommended
by the Hoover Commission and
more recently in the Gray report,
he pointed out.
"With such a unified adminis-'
trative organization, we could then
begin to develop a genuine career
corps of overseas administrators,"
he proposed. "They would be spe-
cially trained to undertake the
technical tasks which we are now
attempting to perform."
Prof. Pollock believes it waste-
ful, inefficient and unsound to pro-
ceed any longer on the present
disorganized basis.

Bonisteel Explains Work
Of 'U' Board of Regents

-

171,

University Regent' Roscoe O.
Bonisteel yesterday gave his Rack-
ham Hall Speech Assembly au-
dience an indication of the com-
plicated and difficult work of the
University Board of Regents.
In his lecture, entitled "Speak-
ing From One Regent's View-
point," Bonisteel said that being
a regent could be compared with
being a member of any governing
body in any community.
As such, he continued, definite
Ticket Sales

Today and Friday are the last
days students can make Wolverine
Club bus reservations for the Ohio
State game, according to.Geotge
Benisek, club publicity chairman.
Round-trip fare is $8.50. All
buses will leave Ann Arbor Satur-
day morning, November 25.
Reservations can be made at the
Student Affairs window in the lob-
by of the Administration building

Benisek 'emphasized.
Prof. Visits 'U'
Prof. Masunori Hiratsuka, of the
education department at Kyushu
University in Japan, visited the ed-
ucation school here yesterday.

problems of rules and regulations
are always- arising.
Many of these involve legal re-
search, academic employes, ad-
ministrative officers, appropria-
tions, physical property and the
public relations aspect of the Uni-
versity, Bonisteel said.
Another problem confronted by
the Regents concerns Michigan
state laws.
As an example Bonisteel pointed
to the state liquor law which the
University must make certain is
enforced.
Shaping new University policies
may be one of the most difficult
problems of the Board of Re-
gents, Bonisteel said.
"It is necessary to consider the
attitudes of the state legislature,
faculty, alumni, students, admini-
strative officers and general pub-
lic, any of which can directly af-
fect the interest of Michigan tax-
payers."
Prof. Bromage
To Head Panel
Prof. Arthur W. Bromage of the
political science department will
participate in the annual Nation-
al Conference on Government in
Buffalo, N.Y., Nov. 20-22. 6
Professor Bromage, who is also
a city alderman, will lead a panel
discussion on "The Citizen Offi-
cial's Job." The conference is spon-
sored by the National Municipal
League.
