Dean George Granger Brown,
head of the College of Engineer-
ing since 1951 and a member of
the University faculty for 37 years,
died late last month in Ann Arbor.
He was 60 years old.
During his career, he served the
University, government and in-
dustry in many varied capacities,
as an investigator of the causes
of collapse of a four story Con-'
sumers_ Power Company office
building in Jackson, and as direc-
for of the Engineering Division of
the Atomic Energy Commission in
1949.
The sixth dean since the found-
ing of the college in 1895, he join-
ed the University faculty in 1920
and in 1930 became a full pro-
fessor. He became head of the
metallurgical and chemical en-
gineering department in 1942, and
five years later was honored by
being named Edward DeMille
Campbell University professor of
chemical engineering, one of eight
such honorary professorships pro-
vided by the Board of.Regents for
distinguished faculty members.
Dean Brown, born in New York,
attended Erasmus High School in
Brooklyn and earned a bachelot'
of science degree in chemistry'
from New York University. In
1942, while. teaching at the Uni-
versity he recevied a master of
sciencE degree and in 1924, the
degree of doctor of philosophy.°,
He was a m- .ber of the Ameri-
can Chemical Society, the Ameri-
can Society of Testing Materials,
the American Petroleum Institute,
the Engineers Council for Pro-
fessional Development, and Phi
Beta'Kappa.
Among the honors which Dean,
Brown received were the Hanlon
Award of the National Gas Asso-
ciation in 1940 and the William
H. Walker Award of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineer-
ing in 1939.
He was instrumental in the
establishment of the first nuclear
,reactor in Michigan and in. the'
extensive physical expansion of
the College of Engineering, as well
as the institution of educational
programs designed to give en-
gineering students a greater un-.
derstanding of thebasic sciences.
In 194, Dean Brown was named
to 'deliver the Henry Russell Lec-
ture at the University..
He is survived by his wife
Dorothy Martin, and three sons:
George M. Brown, professor of
engineering at Northwestern, Jud-
son G. Brown, and David M.
Brown. Eleven grandchildren, a
brother and a sister also survive.
Contributions may, be made to
a fund designed to provide a
George Granger Brown Memorial
in the new YM-YWCA Building,
and may be brought to the office
of the Acting Dean'of Engineering,
West Engineering Building. A re-
cord of contributors names will be
given to Dean Brown's family.
Y's Increse
M"fembership
Through Drive
The Young Democrats at the
University are in the midst of
their most successful membership
-drive in many years, accordingto
Dave Soet, '57, club vice president.
+ "If the 'present trend is any in-
dication," Soet said, "our club can
anticipate a membership of one
hundred or more. This would
make this year's YD club larger
than any previous YD group at.
the University.
He also said that the group will.
operate within the new college
board organized by the state
young democratic central commit-
tee. This new design, Soet adds a,
is planned to bring the college
groups into closer working organi-
Zation.
Non-Residents

Non-residenb students enrolling
in the University's extension serv-
ice courses will be charged $15 a
credit. hour, according to a new

21 years old; married, or residents
of Ann Arbor will be permitted

stringent regulations set dowmt in

students who live more than one
and A half miles from campus,
with inadequate bus facilities'
These permits may be used for
shuttling to and from classes, and
not for social use. They also may
not be used on any except the
most direct route to campus.
An applicant for'a business per-
mit must be accompanied by a
letter from the prospective em-
ployer, stating that a car is ne-
cessary to the job. The car then
cannot be used for any except
business ,reasons, including com-
bining a business and social trip.
The third alternative, a health
or disability permit, must carry
with it a written statement from
the Director of University Health
Service. There is no social restric-
tion on such a permit.
Cars Must, Be Registered
All cars, whether operated with-
out restriction or used according
to permit regulations, must be
registered with the University,

Small, low-rent homes and
apartments are the most needed
type of housing for elderly per-
sons in America, according to Wil-
ma Donahue, chairman of the
University's Division of Gerontol-
ogy.
Of the 4 million people 65 or
over, 1.5 million are single' indi-
viduals who maintain their own
house, or apartment, and nearly
2.5 million are couples who main-
tain their own household, accord-
ing to census statistics.'
Mrs. Donahue notes that large
houses become increasingly diffi-
cult for elderly persons to operate,
yet nearly three-fifths of the el-
derly married couples live in
homes containing five rooms or
more. They must maintain these
houses larger than they need be-
cause ofeconomic necessity, sen-j
timnent, or inertia.
Lenders Reluctant
Most elderly people live in the
homes they acquired when much
younger because lenders have
been reluctant to make long term
loans to persons of advanced age.
The housing act passed by Con-
gress in 1956 has eased this situ-
ation somewhat by sponsoring
housing .developments for people
Over 65.
T he act allows sponsors of these
special housing projects to grant
rental subsidies to elderly tenants
if they desire. It has also made it
easier for elderly people to fi-
nance home purchases.,
Notes Improved Means
Mrs. Donahue also notes that
the Federal Housing Administra-
tion has provided improved means
for older persons who are already
home owners to "trade-in" their
homes' for smaller ones better
suited to their needs.
This means that many older
persons have been put in a better'
position to finance the purchase
of small homes for .their retire-
ment, she observes.'
