Jules Poppinga, '56L, and How- ard Downs, '56L, will participate in a labor law case against George Ewing, '56L and John Appel, '56L. Results of the-competition will be announced at a banquet with the winners receiving $250 and the losing pair $100. Judges will be: Harold Burton, United States Supreme Court; Florence Allen, Cleveland, justice in the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals; Harry Heher, New Jersey Supreme Court; John Dethmers, M i c h i g a n Supreme Court and Lieut. Gov. Philip A. Hart. Many students pass the Chem- istry-Pharmacy Building and do not realize medicines are being manufactured inside. Tablets, medicinal solutions and ointments are turned out by the manufacturing laboratory under the direction of Prof. Albert Mat- tocks. Some of them are dispensed by Health Service and others are used by the University Hospital. Main Purpose-Research "The main purpose of this lab- oratory is research. Graduate stu- dents are employed, and learn the procedures and processes used by pharmaceutical houses," D e a n Thomas D. Rowe said. This research may result in the discovery of new manufacturing processes. If the results are im- portant enough they would be adopted by all companies, he add- ed. Tablet making procedure is com- plicated and involves the use of numerous machines. For example the tablet machine, an interesting devic, is capable of running off up to 1,000 tablets per minute. Apparatus Used Counting the tablets involves the use of a counting apparatus similar to a metal tray with holes punched in it. Tnis device nglias a maximum of 250 tablets. Tests are given for proper strength, hardiness and purity. One of these tests consists of boun- cing the tablets in a solution. "Everything is done to meet standards and nothing is released that hasn't been properly tested," Dean Rowe added. University Day Program Set More than 1,800 students from 200 Michigan and Ohio high schools will gather here for the 13th annual University Day Sat- urday. University President Harlan H. Hatcher will greet the guests at a general assembly opening the program, and the Men's Glee Club will entertain. The all-day program will in- clude tours of the campus and discussions with University facul- ty members on entrance require- ments, curriculum and job oppor- tunities.

FILTER TIP TAREYTON with the Activated Charcoal Filter PRODUCT OF t2 n cto- a, Read and Use Daily Classifieds ERI Report Lists Funds For Studies Research Covers Maniy Projects Eight million dollars in research is outlined in the annual report of the University s Engineering Re- search Institute. Research ranges from explora- tions of the atom to studies of the upper atmosphere and from guided missile design to noise reduction in battleships. The ERI funnels spoxnsored 'research projects such as these to faculty members, main- ly in the Engineering College and to its own staff of technicians. Projects Listed Directed by Dr. Richard G. Fol- som, ERI is 34 years old. The re- port recently distributed about the Institute tells of 334 government- al and indstrial research projects handled by the ERI during 1953- 54. Many of these projects are list- ed as of vital importance to the national defense effort. Of the 334 projects underway during the yeai, 17 of them group- ed under the classification of Op- erations Research, System Analy- sis and Design and Communica- tions were valued at $4,428,638, or more than half the total. Although wrapped in secrecy, the three Operations Research pro- jects totalling two million dollars are described as being "i answer to a need felt by the armed forces for basic research in the means of handling problems of efficient util- ization of forces and supplies." They touch upon such topics as optimum submergence tactics of submarines, aerial combat, and the prediction of future aircraft positions from radar plots, the re- port observes. 'U' First School One of the first schools to offer instruction in System Analysis and Design, the University stands in the forefront of the field according to the report. The studies relate to the increasing complex and large-scale systems used in com- munications, transportation, busi- ness, industry, sbience, and war- fare. ERI's largest division, the Wi- low Run Research Center, has spe- cialized in the design for military systems. It is reported that "con- siderable effort has gone into the design of guided missile systems for air' defense. Such systems in- volve target surveillance, prepara- tion and launching of missiles, guidance and control, coordina- tion of multiple attacks, commun- ication, computation, and evalu- ation." Five projects amounting to over a million dollars were conducted during the year in this field. $800,000 Total Nine projects in the Communi- cations field totaled $800,000 on research. Studies included investi- gations in human response to sti- muli from electronic equipment, telemetering as applied to upper- atmosphere research, and devel- opment of new types of air-search radar systems and of infrared de- vices for communication other than radio. The report gathers all projects under 22 broad engineering con- cepts, such as soil mechanics, high-speed computers, combustion, human engineering, acoustics, ma- chinability, nuclear energy and meterology. In outlining the contributions of the Institute to the University's educational program, the report points out that 450 students work- ing for degrees were employed part time on research teams during the year. This experience is regarded of great value in the training of well- rounded engineers, scientists and technicians. T .S c. . aI and basc to it all... the "at ease" . feeling of.
