Prof. Kamrowski's present display

LOST LETTERS:
Incomplete Addresses Cause
Headaches for 'U' Workers,
"Betty, U. of Michigan, USA"
was the only address the letter
bore.
This letter with a South Amer-
lcan post mark was typical of
hundreds received by the Office
of Student Affairs monthly which
defy identification of the ad-
dressee.
OWHENEVER the post office
can't locate a student by the ad-
dress on a letter they unload it
on us," sighed Miss Dorothea
Leonard, receptionist, "and we
get some funny ones."
The letter that had the most
people guessing, she recalled,
was one addressed to a co-ed
five feet two, with blue eyes
anid blond hair. No further in-
formation was given.

MANY LETTERS from foreign
nations must be sent to the In-
ternational Center to be translat-
ed before any disposition can be
made of them.
After being deciphered, many
of the letters have turned out
to be appeals to University of-
ficials for financial andl other
aid from people the officials
have never heard of.
Miss Leonard related that the
average volume of such mail is!
10 to 20 letters a day, with the
load heaviest at Christmas and
at the beginning of the semester.
The staff has become expert at
tracing down students with only
the barest of clues to work with,
so most of the mail is finally de-
livered.
Student Affairs clerks are gear-
ed to expect anything in the day's
mail. There is one letter that ar-
rives monthly that stumps every-
one: a warning to the dean's of-
fice of "dire things to come." It
is post-marked New York and
signed "The Vigilantes."
One Act Plays
To End Today
The season's second bill of one
act plays will receive its second
and last performance at 8 p.m.
today on the stage of the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
Sale of the remaining tickets
will go on from 10 a.m. to curtain
time at the Mendelssohn box of-
fice. They are 30 cents apiece.
The four plays on the bill are
"The Woods Are Still," by Dan
Waldron, '51, "Boke's Friends,"
by Shelton Murphy, '51, "Aria
Da Capo," by Edna St. Vincent
Millay and "Wurzel-Flummery,"
by A. A. Milne.
'U' Professors
Hit Proposed
Sales Tax Plan
Economics professors concur-
red yesterday that the $10 billion
federal sales tax suggested by
various senators was out of the
question for a number ofureasons.
Prof. J. Phillip Wernette of
the business administration
school pointed out that to collect
a sum as large as $10 billion by
means of a sales tax would in-
volve a levy of at least 10% on
each purchase. This is a huge cut
to take out of retail sales, he said.
PROF. WERNETTE, agreeing
that the defense effort must be
paid for in taxes or inflation, felt
however that there would be bet-
ter ways of collecting the money.
Personal income taxes could be
raised, as could corporation and
excise taxes, he declared.
Prof. Richard Musgrave of
the economics department em-
phasized that such a tax would
discriminate against lowest in-
come groups. "Although taxes
on the lower and middle, as
well as higher income groups
must be raised to cut down the
inflationary pressures caused
by high consumer demand,
these taxes must strive for
equity."
U' Chess Team Places Fifth
In Intercollegiate Tournament
U
r
i1
While the eyes of all loyal Wol-I
verine rooters were focused ont
the Pasadena pageant, the un-1
heralded University chess team1
was at the other end of the
country quietly giving an excel-t
lent account of themselves at fant
intercollegiate chess tournament7
in New York.
The four-man squad, compos-
ed of Mark Eucher, '53, Tom
Straus, '52, Steve Smale, '52, and
Russ Church, '52, wound up fifth
in a field of 16. This was actu-
ally a better showing than it
would appear, for Michigan is
usually considered a small-time
power in the chess world.1
METROPOLITAN New York, a
traditional c h ess stronghold,
swept the meet. Columbia finished
on top, while CCNY, Notre Dame
of the chess board, was a close sec-
ond and NYU placed fourth. A
suntanned Miami crew slipped
into third.
Michigan had a record for
the meet of 4 wins, 2 losses, and
a draw with champion Colum-
bia.
ALTHOUGH THE squad could-
n't match the laurels won by the
more publicized football team,
they didn't come away empty-
handed. Michigan, the East's re-
presentative in the Tournament
of Roses, was presented with the
prize for being the Westernmost
team in, the Tournament of
Knights, Kings, and Queens.
The prize was a chess book
written in Spanish for each
member of the team. The choice
of language baffled the play-
ers, who felt that the New
Yorkers might have thought
that Michigan was a foreign
country.
The team made the New York
trip on their own, with no fan-
fare, no Wolverine Specials, and
no University funds.
Philosopher Will
Talk on 'Thinking
Prof. Gilbert Ryle, of the philo-
sophy department at Magdalen
College, University of Oxford, will
give a. lecture, "Thinking," at 8
p.m. today in Rm. 1025 Angell
Hall.
The lecture is sponsored by the
philosophy department.
HE SUGGESTED instead that
an expenditure tax be used. Such
a levy was suggested by the Ad-
ministration in 1942, but received
little consideration from Congress.
This tax would be based on the
total spending by the family unit
for a certain period. Thus people
would be encouraged to save, as
savings would not be touched by
this tax. Also, it would hit direct-
ly the source of the inflation,
consumer spending, he asserted.
