1 FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1951 I I RTISTIC SCIENTIST: Prof. Sutton To Paint Unusual Bird in Mexico Noses Snub Santa An opportunity to paint a rare :exican bird, the bearded wood artridge, presented an irresistible mptation to Prof. George M. Ltton, University Ornithologist, ta Kappa Nu raps Twenty who left for Mexico by train this morning. The rest of the members of the expedition will join Prof. Sutton in Baton Rouge, La., and the whole group will continue on to the State of San Luis Potosi, Mex- ico, where Dr. Sutton will have a chance to paint the bearded wood partridge fromlife. * * * Eta Kappa Nu, national honor- ary engineering fraternity, initiat- ed 20 members Tuesday night at a banquet at the Allenel Hotel. J. C. McElhany, director of edu- cation and training at the General Motors Research Laboratories, was the principle speaker. Those selected for membership were: Melvin Anderson, '52E, Hart- well Anway, '52E, Lester Arquette, '52E, Arthur Bublitz, '53E, Ken- neth Chase, '52E, Edward Gilbert, '52E, Elmer Gilbert, '52E, Eugene Haas, '53E, Jack Jennings, '52E, Eric Khu, '53E. Richard Kroll, '52E, William Masters, '52E, John Oliver, '53E, Charles Potter, '52E, Donald Roth- schild, '52E, Robert E. Scott, '52E, James Shaner, '53E, Russell Vance, '53E, John Varterasian, '52E, and Warren Williamson, '52E. Engineers' Society Elects Prof. Kohl Prof. John C. Kohl of the en- gineering college was elected sec- retary-treasurer of the Michigan Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers at the Society's regular monthly meeting last week in Detroit. THE BIRD, which is so rare that it has not even been included in recent books on Mexican birds, was discovered by a group of orni- thologists from Louisiana State University. Not only did they rediscover the bird, which hasn't been seen for about 100 years, but they also succeeded in getting some young and vadult speci- mens. The five dis(Piverers and Prof. Sutton, will use a single panel- truck in traveling around Mexico. While Prof. Sutton paints the bird, the other members of the party will collect specimensand materials for the Louisiana State University project of a state-wide study of the birds of San Luis Potosi. ' * * * Prof. Sutton, who is also re- search consultant of the Museum of Zoology, has mace seven trips below the border since 1938. Often called "the second John James Audubon," he has complet- ed about 100 bird pictures. His most recent work, a series of paintings of Mexican birds is be- ing sponsored for publication by the Foundation of Neotropical Re- search. -Daily-Larry Wilk CHRISTMAS DE-EMPHASIS-Screeching "Bah, Christmas, hum- bug!" Gargoyle editor Peg Nimz, '53 and Generation staffer Bob Golten, '54 are engaged in their annual ] re-Easter eggrolling con- test. In keeping with the spirit of the occasion, the joint office of the two publications in the Student Publications Bldg. is adorned with a maypole, an Easter bunny and signs commemor- ating everything from the laying of the transatlantic cable to the Bolshevik revolution. Appropriations Request Made at $25,830,000 ________ J-Hop Tickets Reservations forJ-Hop tick- ets can be made in the Admin- istration Building. The booth will be open from 8 a~m. to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow. SL Delays bias Action ,To February (Continued from Page 1) supported removal of constitu- tional barriers at its national convention. Failing this, it would lose SAC recognition, 3) The IFC reconsideration motion, by Mike McNerney, '53, calling on the IFC to change its mind on its bias stand and ac- ceptthe study committee report. After an hbur of debate on the three plans, a straw vote was taken to decide the committee of the whole's report back tothe floor. After the McNerney motion was eliminated in a preliminary ballot, the committee chose the second policy by a 22-14 count. ATTACHED TO both the time limit and study committee mo- tions was a preamble aimed at re- futing the "property rights" argu- ments used by retired University President Alexander G. Ruthven in vetoing last year's similar time limit. Nine specific regential and SAC rulings, such as drinking restrictions, women's hours cur- tailments and driving regula- tions, were listed as alleged vio- lations of "property rights." In supporting his motion, Beers emphasized that he and co-author Miss Marks were in favor of the time limit idea, but were con- vinced that there was no chance of it clearing both SAC and Presi- dent Harlan H. Hatcher now. "A bird in the hand is worth several in the bush." he said. "We should get the strongest measure that is practical-and this is as strong a motion as would have a chance of University clearance." *) * * BEERS POINTED out further that if SL forced the time limit issue again now and it was vetoed or turned down by the SAC, it would make a time limit impossi- ble for a long time. "However, if we work gradu- ally, we may be able to obtain the time limit sooner," he rea- soned. Baker, however, s p o k e out against "half-hearted measures." Conversations with some of the top men in the Law School have indicated that the University's "property rights' argument is com- pletely untenable legally, he add- ed. An outstanding contribution to scientific knowledge has been made by the astronomy depart- ment in the form of a Photometric Atlas of the Near Infra-Red Solar Spectrum. The men who compiled this solar atlas are Prof. Leo Goldberg, di- rector of the University Observa- tory, Prof. Orren C. Mohler, assist- ant director of the McMath-Hul- bert Observatory, and Prof. A. Keith Pierce, director of the Mc- Math-Hulbert Observatory. * - IN A REVIEW of the atlas in the Michigan Alumnus, the work is predicted to be "hailed by as- tronomers and other spectrosco- pists as marking an epoch." The science of spectroscopy gives information about the phy- 'EPOCH-MARKING': 'U' Astronomers Collaborate On Atlas of Solar Spectrum sical condition of heavenly bod- ies providing the basis for the whole science of astrophysics. The new solar atlas supple- ments and extends earlier obser- vations, providing a detailed map in a range completely outside that of visual and photographic mea- surements. The discovery of this new in- formation has been made possible by a new method of recording, and by using a recently developed photo-cell, which responds to much, longer wave lengths than any previously available. Among the new facts presented about solar phenomena, those con- cerning the upper atmosphere of the earth have been the most striking to astronomers. Florida Trip To Be Planned The Wolverine club is planning to sponsor a train trip to Florida for students when spring vacation rolls around. Plans have been laid for char- tering a special all-student train to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Hotel accommodations will be provided at the other end of the line, and glass bottom boat trips, fishing ex- cursions and everglade expeditions will be arranged. Beach parties and trips to near- by Miami are also being planned. Both the round-trip train jour- ney and hotel accommodations will be offered at reduced rates. This is the first time that the Wolverine Cub has sponsored a trip during spring vacation. Further details will be an- nounced later.

The station is needed, accord- ing to University officials, to provide additional fire protec- tion for school properties. 2-Money to finish the Angell Hall addition and the Out-Patient Clinic. Requests are $1,308,403 for the Angell building and $726,800 for the clinic. 3-Funds to provide a class. room wing and library addition to the Kresge Medical Research building. A sum of $750,000 is being re- quested to fix University Hospital, which has not had an overhauling since it was built in 1924.sOther buildings on the "fixit" list are the Natural Science and Architec- ture Bldgs. The appropriation request is currently being considered by the State budget division. Gov. G. Mennen Williams is slated to make his recommendation to the Legis- lature the first week in January.
