_ _THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY,MAUG.13,1 938 Rackham Building For Graduate Studies Faces The Mall Student Senate Group Discusses Local, National, World Problems 32 Seats Filled By Election From Campus At Large By Proportional System; A novel feature of extra-curricular student life introduced last year is the Student Senate, a body of 32 students elected from the campus at large. which acts as a focal point for dis- cussion of all subjects of importancet and interest to students. The Senate was organized by an in-j dependent student sponsoring com- mittee which conducted an election by proportional representation in March. Sixty-four students filed nom- inating petitions. The election was conducted largely along political lines with most of the candidates volunta- rily classifying themselves as "con- servative" or "liberal." Among the national and world is- sues discussed by the Senate were naval expansion, collective security, ment they are making in the field of fluid mechanics. Their curricula has been planned "to meet the in- creasing demand from industry for graduates with the thorough theoret- ical grounding in mechanics and mathematics needed to cope with dif- ficult engineering problems of the' research type." the Spanish war, the Child Labor amendment, the Ludlow war referen- dum and others. The chief parts of the group's work, however, was devot- ed to local issues, the most important of which was the housing issue. After conducting a hearing at which land- ladies, realtors and the University administration were represented, the Senate recommended State subsidized dormitories as the only solution for the problem. New elections to the Senate will be held in the fall to fill the seats vacat- ed by graduations. All students except freshmen are eligible to become can- didates. In the system of proportional rep- resentation, each ballot, is cast with ! the candidates listed in order of the voter's preference. In order to be elected, a candidate must receive a number of votes equal to the total number cast divided by the number of offices to be filled - in the case of the Senate, one-thirty-second of the total vote. All candidates receiv- ing sufficient votes on the first ballot are declared elected, and their surplus votes accorded to the second choice on each ballot. Thereafter, on each count, the candidate having the low- est number of votes is eliminated and his votes transferred to the next choices on the ballots. University Presents Broadcasts On Air Over Many Stations The Bureau of Broadcasting has expanded its service to the University and to the public in recent years, for in addition to the 190 programs over Station WJR and 37 programs over Station WMBC which it sponsored during the 1937-38 University year, it has been supplying continuity to Sta- tion WMPC of Lapeer and to various other educational broadcasting sta- tions. Prof. Waldo Abbot is the direc- tor of broadcasting and professor of speech in the University. During the year Dr. Joseph Maddy presented his "Fun In Music" series over the National B: oadcasting Com- pany. The University Glee Club was heard from the campus over the Colf umbia Broadcasting System. A 30 minute recording oi band music was made aniJ sent to the University of Michigan Club of Philadelphia at the time of the i:otball game. This re- cording was so r nthusiastically re- ceived that it was broadcast over Station WIP of PhilaIphia. At the request of the Michigan L "ate depart- ment of Public Health studAents were cast, rehearsed, and sent to Dctroit to present a nation-wide program for the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. 44q Engineering School Expects Record Enrollment In Its Varied Programs 1 Ten Accredited Four-Year Courses Offered In All Types OfEngine Work By BETSEY ANDERSON Offering 12 different programs of study in the different fields of engi- neering and combined courses with Business Administration, Forestry and Law, the College of Engineering is expecting a record enrollment this fall, as thenumber of students enter- ing has increased every year, reaching 1954 last year. The college has 10 four-year pro- grams of study accredited by the En- gineers' Council for Professional De- velopment. This council, which rep- resents the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Aierican Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, the American Institute of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Society for the Promotion of Engi- neering Education and the National Council of State Boards of Engineer- ing Examiners, undertakes to formu- late criteria for colleges of engineer- ing which will ensure their graduates a sound educational foundation for practicing the engineering profession. The programs accredited by the Council include those in aeronautical, chemical, ciyil (including transpor- tation), electrical, mechanical, and metallurgical engineering, naval ar- chitecture and marine engineering and engineering mechanics. In addi- tion, four-year curricula, not accred- ited by the Council are offered in the specialized fields of astronomy, geod- esy, and surveying, mathematics and physics. The work offered by the several de- partments is usually broader than the name of the department may indicate. For example, under chemical engi- I neering will be found metallurgical, industrial and general chemical engi- neering; under civil engineering will be found structural, hydraulic, trals- portation, sanitary and municipal en- gineering; under electrical engineer- ing will be found power, communica- tion and illuminating engineering and electrical design; under geodesy and surveying will be found geodesy, topo- graphic and boundary surveying and courses on the legal and administra- tive problems involved in titles and -boundaries; under mechanical engi- neering will be found steam power, internal combustion, xhydromechani- cal, heating, ventilating and refriger- ating, automobile and industrial en- gineering and machine design; and under naval architecture and marine engineering will be found in addition, water transportation. The mechanical and chemical engi- neering departments seem to attract the largest number of students enrol- ing with aeronautical engineering running a close third. Chemical engi- neering and metallurgy is the field in which there is the largest graduate enrollment, probably because of the fact that an advanced degree is be- coming almost a necessity for going into research and development of the field in those lines. Some new work in plant design will be offered next year by the chemical engineering de- partment. The mechanical engineering de- partment plans to add a new course in air-conditioning and during the summer session of 1938-39 will hold an Institute in Internal Combustion Engines of which Prof. Axel Marin will be chairman. Aeronautical engineer- ing group will continue its graduate courses offered in advanced struc- tures and advanced airplane struc- ture just begun this year, Through a cooperative arrange- ment between the University and the State Highway Department, the test- ing of £naterials for use in state high- ways and bridges is done at the University, and students in advanced transportation engineering are conse- quently able to secure the benefits to be derived from observing the work of trained State employes in this field in the highway laboratory in the East Engineering Building. The' engineering mechanics depart- ment has been sponsoring a symposi- um on the properties of metals'this summer under the direction of Prof. Stephen Timoshenko of Stanford Uni- versity, formerly a member of the University faculty, and one of the most outstanding men in that field. They will continue their regular courses and go on with the develop- YOUR CL UB0... Has the finest barber shop in Ann Arbor. Plenty of barbers -- no wait- ing. Manicurist is in attendance.
