The survey will be conducted under the joint auspices of New York University and the National Association of Science Writers. It will sample public opinion of science news reporting in several mass media-newspapers, maga- zines, radio and television. Nation- wide random sampling techniques developed by the Survey Research Center will be used to secure data. In addition, the study will de- velop comparisons between idi- vidual attitudes toward science and scientists and reaction to the content format and media for reporting science news. Results are expected by the end of 1957. Museum Rebuilds Egyptian Room A reconstruction of a room from an ancient Egyptian tomb from carved limestone blocks loaned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, N. Y., has been arranged by the staff of the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. Reconstructed around the re- maining original blocks, the tomb has a modern ceiling painted blue with gold stars and border of lotus flowers and buds. The wall in- cludes a door frame or portal lead- ing into an inner chamber. The carved limestone blocks are from the walls of the tomb of Bak-en-ran-ef at Saqqara. Bak- en-ran-ef lived about 2,500 years ago during the reign of Psamtik I of the 26th Egyptian Dynasty (633-609 B. C.) He was vizier and governor of the capitol city of Egypt which at that time was Memphis. and administrative experience in a variety of technical fields has begun work as associate director of the University's Engineering Re- search Institute. He is Merrill M. Flood, former professor of industrial and man- agement engineering and director of the Institute for Research in the Management of Industrial Production at Columbia Univer- sity, New York City. Flood will direct E.R.I. activi- ties at the Willow Run Labora- tories, site of the multi-million dollar Project Michigan and other research programs. In addition, he holds an appointment as profes- sor of industrial engineering in the College of Engin~eering. As a director of three Princeton units, Flood and his associates pioneered in operations research and weapons-systems evaluation, and also completed field trials of the first electronic anti-aircraft artillery fire control equipment Just before Pearl Harbor. Serving as the chief civilian scientist with the Research and Development Division of the War Department General Staff after the war, he continually reviewed overall strategic plans to ensure that the Army's research and de- velopment kept pace with defense needs. Exhibition Features G. B.Shaw The current exhibit in the main corridor of the General Library commemorates the centenary of the birth of George Bernard Shaw, grand old man of contemporary English literature. Shaw died in 1950. Among the items of Shaviana in- cluded in the exhibit are several Shaw letters given to the Library as a part of the theatrical collec- tion of Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Valkenburg; Shaw's applica- tion for membership in The Shake- speare Association, with its typi- cal comment; and volumes of let- ters to actresses Ellen Terry and Mrs. Patrick Campbell. There are also numerous photo- graphs and caricatures of the au- thor and his friends; modern ar- ticles celebrating the centenary; a copy of the "Last Will and Test- ment" printed by the Apple Tree Press, Flint, and edited by William Chase, at one time a member of the University's English Depart- ment. Also included are two biograph- ical works by Shaw himself-"Six- teen Self-Sketches," published in 1949, and the "Rhyming Picture Guide to Ayot St. Lawrence," (Shaw's home), published in 1950; and the 1911 edition of Archibald Henderson's "official" biography, now just announced for publica- tion in its definitive edition. Married Enrollment Tops 5,000 There will be more than 5,000 married students attending classes this fall at the University officials estimate. This will almost be a quarter of the record total enrollment of over 22,000 expected this September. Last year there were 4,466 mar- ried students, an increase of 994 over the 1954-55 school year figure of 3,472, with the expected increase of students, officials estimate that the figure should go over the 5,000 mark. The University Terraces on the northeast end of campus house 276 of the married students and the new North Campus develop- ment, Northwood Apartments, will house 396. One-hundred of these apartments were opened last year and the other 296 will open this fall. A small number of these apartments are used for faculty residences. The remaining married students live in homes, apartments, and trailers in and around the city of Ann Arbor. The North Campus develope- ment will make available one-bed- room apartments for $85 and two- bedroom apartments for $100 rent. This price includes all utilities. The apartments are furnished except for the second bedroom in the two- bedroom dwellings. Each group of buildings will have its own parking lot and util- ity building, which will include laundry facilities and lockers for storage by the tenants. Electricity, water and heating will also be cen- tered in these buildings. University bus service every hour between North Campus and main campus and a post office with mail boxes for each apartment are pro- vided for the residents. Total construction cost of the new apartments is approximately $4,760,400. 1956-57 UNIVERSITY MUSIC SOCIETY' CO C E RTS Seventy-eighth Annual Choral Union Series KURT BAUM, Tenor and HERVA NELLI, Soprano *.*. ...*..*.

Tuesday, November 20 Monday, January 14 A $545,000 grant has been made to the University for the support of studies leading to the estab- lishment of an optical astronomy observatory, according to a Na- tional Science Foundation an- nouncement. The studies, under the direction of Robert R. McMath, director of McMath-Hulbert Observatory, are a continuation of work undertaken last year by the University under previous grants from the National Science Foundation totaling $300,- 000. The establishment of the optical astronomy observatory, which will include initially a 36-inch tele- scope, is part of the Foundation's over-all program in support of basic research in astronomy. The Foundation recently announced that a radio astronomy facility would be ercted at Green Bank, West Virginia, at an. approximate cost of $30,000 for a study leading to the erection of a solar telescope. Data Gathered Slowly Grants by the National Science Foundation for astronomical fa- cilities climax approximately five years of deliberations by American astronomers on needs in their field. According to Professor McMath, "The problems of astronomy re- quire a wealth of basic data. At the present time such data are be- ing gathered very slowly. Because of this slow rate fundamental ad- vances occur rarely, only about once in 25 years." Facilities Lacking The National Science Founda- tion's decision to request funds from Congress for the establish- ment of large-scale astronomy fa- cilities stems from the growing concern on the part of American astronomers over the lack of fa- cilities freely available to astron- omers generally. All of the large- scale observatories in the United States are privately owned and op- erated and are available to visiting astronomers on a limited basis only. The furtherance of education in astronomy is another compelling reason forthe establishment of such facilities. It is hoped that the existence of these facilities will en- courage young astronomers to go into teaching by giving assurance that they will not have to forfeit research opportunities in so doing. .
