"ation.
The study, which resulted in the
um'phlet, "Property Tax Admin-
tration in Michigan," was con-
icted by Claude R. Tharp, re-
arch associate of the University.
IN THIS booklet he recommend-
3 increasing the size of the as-
ssment districts to reduce the
umber of assessors from 1,800 to
)0.
Tharp also advised that asses-
'rs be appointed by the county
lard of supervisors on the basis
qualifying examinations. Ap-
)inting the collectors rather than
ecting them will result in more
ficient collections, Tharp con-
nded, because , elected officials
e afraid to antagonize taxpay-
°s who are also voters.
The tax, which everyone pays
. one way or another, is the
rgest single source of public
nds, amounting to about 45 per
nt of the total local and state
venues.

Noted during his college days as
a horse jockey, Dean Fidele F.
Fauri, of the newly-founded
School of Social Work, is still go-
ing at a fast pace.
Since the day in 1933 when the
new dean received his degree from
the University, he has risen to a
position of national prominenceas
a government social worker and
educator.
IN 1947, as a senior specialist in
social legislation with the Library
of Congress, Fauri was accredited
with much of the 1950 amended
version of the Federal Social Se-
curity Act..
At that time, one prominent#
member of Congress remarked:
"Fauri knows more about social
security than any man in the
country. He clearly is an ex-
pert, but fortunately doesn't talk
like one."
Though having his own private
law practice, Fauri became inter-
ested in social work early in his
career. He became employed in
Michigan's State Department of
Social Welfare, and later was ap-
pointed State Supervisor of the
Michigan Bureau of Social Secur-
ity.
He then moved to Washington
as a senior specialist.
WHEN THE Regents voted last
year to establish the School of
Social Work, Fauri was chosen to
head the new school, which wV,!
formerly part of the Rackham
Foundation, located in Detroit.
The dean's future plans for the
school include "placing more work
with public agencies and giving the
school more of a direct focus on
communities throughout the State,
Our emphasis will be on public
service." he added.
Reliving in Ann Arbor a "pleas-
ant experience of his past," Fauri
enjoys his new home. He finds it
an ideal place for his children-
David, 11 years old, Eric, nine
years old, and seven year old Paul.

By HARLAND BRITZ
A year of loneliness and frustra-
tion may suddenly be turned into
a warm, date-filled season for
three University males who de-
cided to advertise.
The business-like trio, unsuc-
cessful in their attempts to meet
suitable upper-class women, and
undesirous of dating "the younger
set," decided Monday to put an ad
in The Daily for homecoming
dates and it now looks like they'll

have women on their hands as
long as they remain on campus.
THEIR AD was a simple, single
column plea for upperclass wo-
men, who seriously wanted dates
for the big homecoming weekend.
Before the paper was on the
streets two hours, the phone calls
started coming and they're still
pouring in,
By dinner time last night, the
three had interviewed a dozen
of the applicants and were mak-
ing interviewing time for the
remaining 13 women who had
called.
The t h r e e, who demanded
anonymity when interviewed by
The Daily, reported that all but
two of the applicants were serious
and that only one had so far
stood them up on an interview.
They also cheerfully announced
that the group was "generally
comely, courteous and consider-
ate." In fact, the trio was happily
surprised by the beauty of many
of the applicants.
THE MEN have not as yet made
up their collective minds on which
of the lovelies they were going to
escort to homecoming festivities.
This will have to come later in
the week, after all of the women
are properlyinterviewed.

EAST MEETS WEST
IN NEW RELAY EVENT
You've heard of the Penn Relays. But
have you ever heard of a relay where the
hurdles are mountains, the average stride
is thirty miles, and the track stretches
coast to coast?
It's the Bell System's Beteag
and it brings East and West together in
one of the most important events in the
history of communications.
Telephone construction crews have just
recently completed the coast-to-coast
6Zaa'eo-6Way system. Today, Long
Distance calls ride on radio microwaves,
beamed through the air from tower to
tower. And, for the first time, television
programs have been flashed from coast
to coast.
The new system supplements the thou-
sands of miles of wire cable that already
tie the nation together. It helps make
America's vast communications network
even stronger and more flexible. And it
could hardly happen at a better time. The
demands of defense are heavy and urgent.
