CONDUCTS SURVEY: Research Center Studies Middle Class Parents A survey of the functions of the mother and father in a middle class family was' conducted by the University's Research Center for Group Dynamics. . Conducted with the cooperation of students and parents from selected classes in Detroit schools, the survey pointed out that while the husband does not usually per- form routine household tasks the wife can count on occasional help from him. In most cases reported the father was responsible for the mainte- nance of the family property while the mother's activities ranged from waking the children to writing the family correspondence. SGC Accepts Applications For Seminar Applications are now being ac- cepted from students wanting to participate in the International Student Relations Seminar to be held here Nov. 8-10, according to Jo Hardee, '60, of the Internation- al Affairs committee. The seminar will be sponsored by the Michigan Region of Na- tional Students Association. Purpose of the seminar will be to discuss the role of the Ameri- can and international student in promoting world understanding. Travel programs, campus plan- ning for international students, cultural exchange and national and international student organi- zations will be discussed. Conducting the seminar will be Peter Eckstein, '58, Anne Wood- ard, '57 and Marian McReynolds, '56. Applications from interested students will be due on Oct. 29. They can be picked ip in the SGC section of the Student Activities Building. The mother and father share equally such tasks as putting out the garbage, weeding, and planting and paying the children their al- lowances. In interviews conducted among some 450 families, the researchers found that nearly four out of every 10 fathers got their own breakfast and helped wash the dishes occa- sionally. However, 15 per cent of the fathers helped to clean the house. The children see their father as playing a major part in getting them to behave at the meal table. The researchers think this is prob- ably because his efforts to lay down the law at dinner are usually more memorable than mother's efforts to maintain peace and quiet at mealtime. In about half of the families studied, the father was primarily responsible for paying bills. In the other half, this responsibility is either shared with the wife or she controls family funds. In either case the father has the most au- thority concerning the buying of big, new things f Nr the family or house. School Plans M.A. Program In Accounting A master's degree program in accounting will be added to the School of Businev Administra- tion's curriculum, according to Prof. Russell A. Stevenson, dean of the School of Business Admin- istration. . The program, Prof. Stevenson said, has developed from the one semester accounting course first offered 60 years ago to the num- ber of specialized courses offered today. "While emphasizing account- ing, the -program also provides breadth of training by including a careful selection of courses in all important fields relating to business," he said. "Students completing our pro- gram in accounting will be well equipped either to enter the pub- lic accounting profession and progress to certified public ac- countants or to accept employ- ment opportunities with corpora- tions or governmental agencies," he continued. Civic Spew Size alone does notddetermine how much a city spends on serv- ices for its residents, Prof. Harvey E. Brazer, of the economics de- partment, announced at the Na- tional Tax Association Conference yesterday. "There is little or no statistical support for the commonly held idea that per capita expenditures by cities. tend to increase with population size, he emphasized. "Instead, the place and role of the city within the metropolitan complex is a leading factor in ex- plaining differences in levels of per capita expenditure. Conducts Study His remarks were based on a study he conducted in 1951, cover- ing expenditures of some 462 cities which nearly all had populations of 25,000 br more. Expenditures for such common city functions as fire and police protection, streets and highways, recreation, general control and sanitation ranged from a low of $11 to a high of $81 annually, he said. "A high or low level of expendi- ture on any one of these functions is not necessarily accompanied by a correspondingly high or low level for other categories," Brazer re- ported. "Instead, budget patterns among cities appear to be ex- tremely diverse, except that cities which spend much or little on police protection spend roughly similar amounts on fire control." Expenditures Vary In general, he continued, per capita expenditure of cities varied more between states than within them. He commented that this may be attributed to greater ho- mogeneity of family income, popu- lation density and inter-govern- mental expenditures within states. Cities in the New England and Pacific regions, he added, gen- erally spend far more per capita than those in the West North Central and West South Central areas. This can be partly attributed to differences in attitudes toward public services arising for differ- ences in the ethnic backgrounds of dominant population groups and political leanings and traditions. Differences in the taxing powers and fiscal responsibilities allotted in the various states also must be taken into account. Reveals Trend By grouping cities in seven gen- eral categories, Brazer revealed a high degree of regularity in the rank order of these groups for total general operating expendi- tures per capita. "Major resort cities spent much more than each of the others, fol- lowed by core cities of major met- ropolitan areas, industrial suburbs, high-income suburbs, low-income suburbs, core cities of minor met- ropolitan areas and, lowest, in- dependent cities," he said. "With respect to highways, rec- reation, general control and sani- Police To Auction Bikes on Saturday Seventy-four bicycles will be auctioned by the police department at 10 a.m. Sattirday at police head- quarters, Huron St. and Fifth Ave., according to Casper M.

"Major resort cities continue to lead all others, but the other groups demonstrate no discernable regularity in t h e i r rankings." Relate Association "Any association between popu- lation growth and city expendi- tures is negative in direction," Brazer said. On the other hand, he went on, density of population intergovernmental revenue and Blood Donors May Register ee At TU' Hospital University Hospital is seeking professional blood donors. Those people who can donate a pint of blood every two months may register at the Blood Bank from 9-11 a.m., Monday through Friday. .Professional donors must be 21 years of age. A parent's written consent is required if a donor is between the ages of 18 and 21. A file including the names of donors of all blood types is main- tained in the Blood Bank in order that unusual demand or emer- gencies may be met. ding Varies Among Cities l median family income were re- lated to per capita expenditures. "Intergovernmental revenue is highly consistent in its positive association with per capita city expenditures," he said. Among the 40 large-city areas, Brazer found that the smaller the proportion of the metropolitan area population that lives in the city, the higher its per capita ex- penditures tend to be. Reflect Differences "With the exception of high- ways and sanitation, all categories of expenditure reflect differences in the size of this ratio," he de- clared. "For such categories as police and fire protection, the combined common functions and total gen- eral operating expenditures, this variable may be said to account for approximately 15 to 25 per cent of the variation in per capita oper- ating outlays of the 40 cities studied and their overlying units of local government," he added.
