ANCIENT BONES WANTED:
'U' Anthropologists Seek
Michigan Fossil Sources

By BARBARA GOLDBLUM
Southern Michigan fossils are
needed by the anthropology de-
partment.
Prof. James B. Griffin of the
department has urged that the re-
mains of any large boned animals
discovered by Michiganders be re-
ported immediately to the Univer-
sity Museum.
He explained that an immediate
report was necessary in order to
enable experts to examine and
complete the excavation of bones
as early as possible.
SINCE 1949, when a new sys-
tem of determining the age of fos-
sils was installed at the Univer-
sity, the anthropology department
has been seeking fossils of masto-
dons and other late Pleistocene
fauna which would qualify to be
used.
This age discovering method
was perfected in relatively re-
cent times at the University of
Chicago, Prof. Griffin pointed
out, and has been used exten-
sively there. It has never been
tried on Michigan fossils.
The method utilizes radioactive
Carbon 14 which is formed in the
earth's outer atmosphere and dur-
ing a plant's life becomes a part
of its body. Animals receive Car-

bon 14 into their bodies by eating
plants. Every living organism has
a high content of this element in
its body. In animals it is incor-
porated into their bones.
* * *
AT THE organism's death, the
in-taking process ceases and the
atoms disintegrate at a known
rate of speed. At death, this rate
is 12.4 counts per minute. Fifty-
five hundred years later this rate
has dropped to exactly half.
The age determining proce-
dure utilizes this activity count
by comparing it with a curve
and the animal's period of ex-
istence is determined.
A fossil must be free of all other
carbon or living material before
this process can be used. Many
fossils do not meet this qualifica-
tion.

Part Five of 'U' Historical
Survey Finally Completed

By TOM ARP
Part Five of "The University of
Michigan-An Encyclopedic Sur-
vey" has recently been published
by the University Press.
This book, dealing with the his-
tory of the Medical School, the
University Hospital, and the Law
School, is one of nine sections of
the four volumes of historical
material to be printed by the Uni-
versity.
* * *
THE PUBLICATION of the his-
tory of the University was autho-
rized in ,1937 during the Centen-
nial celebration, and since then
the editorial office of the Univer-
sity Press has been working steadi-
ly toward the production of the
complete work.
The "Survey," when finished,
will be obtainable in nine paper-
bound sections or four cloth-
bound volumes.
Literary contributions have
come from the members of the
faculties of the various schools and
colleges, and are compiled and
edited at the University Press. The
Mi 51l

material has already been submit
ted, and only the work of putting
it into shape and publishing it re
mains.
THE UNIVERSITY pays for th
research and editing of the Sur-
vey, and the costs of publicatior
are covered by grants from alumn
and other interested persons.
The four other parts of the
"Survey" already published are
concerned with University ad-
ministration, organization and
services, alumni, and the literary
college.
The sixth, dealing with the grad-
uate, business administration, ed-
ucation, natural resources, and
music schools, is now at the pub-
lishers, and should be available in
the near future.
Wilfred Shaw, the editor of,
the "Survey," has made all the
etchings used in the work. In-
cluded are drawing of the cam-
pus buildings and portraits of
the University presidents. Shaw
was the originator of the idea of
publishing a history of the Uni-
versity

Uni versities Eye
New UMT Plan
g - -
- By JERRY HIELMAN
The nations' colleges and universities are eyeing with interest a
plan for six months compulsory military service for all 18 years olds
e which has been presented to Congress by the National Security Train-
ing Commission.
Congress is expected to approve or reject it at its next session.
Having promised to give the bill "priority" status, Congress will
probably act on it within 45 days after it reconvenes.
*: * * *
THE COMMISSION was set up under the Universal Military
Training amendment to the Selective Service Act last June. It was
empowered to investigate the feasibility of UMT and report back to
Congress. The advice which has been offered is the recommendation of
the five-man commission for immediate enactment of a plan which
would require all able-bodied 18 year old youths to undergo six full
months of rigorous military training.
Such a program, the commission said, should be so arranged
that it "would be extremely difficult to be deferred for any other
than mental or physical reasons."
As a result college deferments would be only to the end of the
academic year. Pre-professional students would be forced to com-
plete their terms of service before entering a professional school. The
commission would delay their service in the active reserve, however,
until after they completed their graduate training.
College educators consulted have agreed to make "reasonable"
adjustments in their schedules if they can receive assurance that the}
condition will be enduring and not just another in the endless series ofI
disruptive changes.
IN RECOMMENDING UMT, the report cited two reasons for
having such a program:
1). Such a program would indefinitely protect the United
States from overanxious aggressors by providing this country
with a large, permanent and well trained manpower pool.
2). The economic and social dangers involved in maintaining a
large standing force "ad infinitum" would be overcome. The pro-
posed UMT would provide a sufficiently trained force at a minimum
of cost. Discharged soldiers would be kept in shape by remaining in
the active reserve for a period of seven and a half years.
* * * *
THE IMMEDIATE enforcement of UMT is being held up by one
consideration, however. In order to maintain the present maximum
Armed Forces limit of 3.5 million men, the great majority of draftable
18 year olds will have to be taken into the regular services.
As a result, UMT, for the next couple of years at any rate, will
have to induct men at the expense of the regular armed forces.
The only way to avoid this would be to extend the period of
service of those already in the services.
The training plan calls for six months of uninterrupted service in
one of the branches of the Armed Forces. However, the trainees will
not be considered as regular members of the services,
They will not be required to serve overseas, will have their
actions and outside movements strictly supervised, and will re-
ceive lower pay than regular soldiers.I
It is planned that the Army would train about 50 per cent of
the total inducted, the Navy 28 per cent and the Air Force, 22 per cent.
NATIONAL REACTION to the plan has been generally favorable.
Donald R. Wilson, national commander of the American Legion com-
mended it and said that all 17,500 Legion posts would back it to the
hilt when it comes up before Congress early in January.
No action has been taken thus far by University officials.
It is expected that some provisions will be made to adjust to'its
possible affect upon University men.
It has also been pointed out that this bill may go the way of other
such attempts. Similar Congressional priority was given to Manpower
Bill last year, and no action was taken upon it until June.
But judging from the determination on the part of the commission
and President Truman, UMT promises to become a permanent fixture
in American life.
