ECONOMIC REPOR T:
Survey Research Professor
Sees Good Times Continue V' : w
By JIM DURAS
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first:
in a series of three interpretative ar-
ticles on the 1948 Survey of Consumer
Finances.)
"It is not true that a depression
is just around the corner," Prof.
George Katona, Program Director
of the Survey Research Center,
said today.
The statement was made in an
interview at which Dr. Katona an-
nounced that the third part of a
five-part survey of consumer fi-
Annual Meet
Of Educators
To End Today
The Nineteenth Annual Sum-
mer Education Conference will
conclude today with demonstra-
tions of techniques in adult edu-
cation and discussions of counsel-
ing and guidance developments.
In line with the conference
theme, "The Expanding Role of
Education," the day will include a
demonstration of a socio-drama
discussion, as well as panels on
non-directive couns eling and
guidance.
Of interest yesterday was'
"Teaching with Junk," a demon-
stration by Daniel L. Rich, Physics
professor. Dr. Rich brought to
the stage a motley collection of
cardboard, rocks, wire, broken
glass and other seemingly worth-
less items, and with these pro-
ceeded to teach a standard
physics laboratory session.
Dr. Rich's performance was part
of the audio-visual aid conference,
which ended with a display of
new equipment in the field by
twelve representatives of audio-
visual aid dealers.
During the conference textbook
publishers from all parts of the
country have maintained displays
of new texts for the teachers at-
tending the conference to become
acquainted with.

nances will, be released today in
Washington.
Detailed Planning
The survey is being made forI
the Federal Reserve Board by the
Survey Research Center of the
University. Prof. Katona, in col-
laboration with Miss Janet Aus-
trian, was responsible for the de-
tailed planning and supervision
of the survey. Summarizing sur-
veys of the past three years, Prof.
Katona said, "It follows from our
work on consumer finance and
motivation that good times will
continue for a while, in spite of
high prices."
The third monthly installment
of the 1948 report will be released
in the Federal Reserve Bulletin,
and will also be published in
pamphlet form. The first part
deals with expenditures for dura-
ble goods, telling in general what
people spend. The second and
third installments, on the distri-
bution of consumer income, tell
from where they take the money
they spent, whether from income,
bonds or savings accounts.
Psychological
The report is more than an eco-
nomic census. It deals as well with
psychological questions of moti-
vation, finding out not only what
people spend but how they feel
about it, and what they would buy
if they had more money.
"Many statistics are available
dealing with aggregate amounts of
spending and saving," Prof. Ka-
tona said. "But no facts about in-
dividuals were available until this
survey. For instance, what is the
average bank account of a person
with a certain size income?" Us-
ing sampling techniques and per-
sonal interviews, the survey finds
answers to such questions.
"We are never without eco-
nomic problems," Dr. Katona
emphasized. 'There are always
shades of gray ranging from white
to black. We are now in light
shades of gray."

which compared the League of
Nations to the 2000 of which the
UN presently consists, to sustain
his contention.
Present Problems
Because present problems arise
mostly in questions of diplomatic
immunity, or the right of officials
to do acts without liability to law,
Dr. Liang said, "The UN asks only
fir the rights an dprivileges to
allow for the free and unfettered
international organization."
Under traditional diplomatic
immunity, the governmental rep-
resentatives have immunity from
all laws, including taxation an
crimes, while UN officials are im-
mune only when pursuing auth-
orized UN acts, he said.
Last Lecture
In the last lecture, Prof. James
L. Brierly, enlarging upon com-
ments made earlier by Prof.
Preuss, stated that, "We in Eng-
land may justly claim to have or-
iginated the doctrine of incorpor-
ation."
Incorporation, or what Prof.
Preuss called "adoption" as the
law of the land, has a historical
origin that goes back to fifteenth
and sixteenth century English ad-
miralty courts. Prof. Brierly cred-
ted former Michigan law Prof.
Edwin Dickinson with tracing this
development.
Limitations
Although there has been incor-
poration, he pointed out that
there are four limitations upon
the effective application of adopt-
ed international law. The first
arises when the law of nations is
in confiict with a national statute,
and the second occurs because
treaties are not the law of the
land in England as they are in
the United States.
The third is the result of the
judiciary accepting such facts as
the recognition of a government,
from the ministry or state de-
partment in the U.S.). The fourth
arise from the tendency of courts
to interpret cases with biased na-
tional viewpoints.
The first two, Prof. Brierly as-
serts, are of very little practical
effect, but the latter two serve to
"hedge on the ability of incorpor-
ated international law to func-
tion properly."
Fisher Talks
Will Be Held
The key to successful and crea-
tive living, after the age of fifty,
will be the topic of the Charles A.
Fisher Memorial Institute on Ag-
ing, next week.
The Institute, which will be
sponsored by the University In-
and the Extension Service, will
concern on of the country's "fore-
most problems--old age," ac-
cording to Institute director
Clark A. Tibbitts.
The session, opening Tuesday
morning and ending Thursday af-
ternoon will be held in the Rack-
ham amphitheatre with registra-
tion in the Rackham foyer. The
registration will be for the purpose
of indicating a preferance for dis-
cussion sessions which will be set
up as part of the Wednesday af-
ternoon program. No fee will be
charged and the conference is
open to the public, according to
Tibbitts.
The name of the institute hon-
ors Prof. Charles A. Fischer, for-
mer director of the Extension
Service who died last spring. One
of his last acts had been to ap-
prove the program for the Insti-

Vredvoe Asks
SchoolsAid
All phases of instruction should
receive the needed support of lo-
cal, state and federal aid, Dr.
Lawrence Vredvoe of the Bureau
of Cooperation with Educational
Institutions said yesterday.
Speaking in the School of Ed-
ucation summer lecture series, Dr.
Vredvoe discussed the implications
for secondary education in Stude-
baker's Commission on Life Al-
justment Education for Youth.
Stating that various phases, o
education should be given equal-
ity, Dr. Vredvoe said "The task
of the educational system must be
to provide a well integrated and
correlated program of studies and
activities which will enable each
individual to develop to the best
of his ability, his faculties to do
critical reading and critical think-
ing."
He added, "What may be the
specializel education for one today
may become part of his general
education tomorrow.

The campus' last bastion of
male solidarity capitulated to the
weaker sex last Tuesday, when
Kathleen Musser, graduate, suc-
ceeded in walking through the
front door of the Michigan Union.
For years Michigan men have
complacently gloated as hundred:
of disgruntled coeds have repeat-
edly been refused admission to
the Union through its front door.
Whiere Angels Fear
Miss Musser,ehowever, just
rushed right in past several gap-
ing bystanders, including the Un-
ion doorman stationed to prevent
just such occurrences.
Later, when informed of the
time-honored tradition, Miss
Musser stated that she was com-
pletely oblivious of any such rule,
even though she has been on the
campus for more than a year.
Since she was already late to a
meeting in the Union, the front
door simply seemed to offer the
quickest and most direct route.
Dates To 1904
The existence of the rule dates
back to the opening of the Union
in 1904. The group of men who
conceived the idea of a men's club
Lenawee Players
Offer Five Dramas
The Lenawee Players, a summer
stock company composed of col-
lege students from the East and
Midwestuwill present a seriesof
five full-length plays near here
between now and August 15.
The group, whose theatre is lo-
cated six miles south of Tecum-
seh on state highway 52, will give
weekly performances Wednesday
through Sunday.
Current production of the com-
pany is "Night Must Fall,"' which
will play through Sunday. It will
be followed by "Charlie's Aunt,"
July 21-25; "Angel Street," July
28-August 1; "Our Town," August
4-8; and "The Importance of Be-
ing Earnest," August 11-15. The
curtain for all performances will
be at 8:30 p.m.
Most of the members of the cast
are students from Catholic Uni-
versity in Washington, D.C. Other
schools represented are North-
western University, the Univer-
sity of North Carolina and Sienna
Heights College.

on campus decided to pattern it
after existing men's clubs scat-
tered over the country, all of
which provided special doors for
the convenience of women.
In 1916, when plans were laid
for the present Union building, it
was decided that the tradition
should be continued. Consequent-
ly. the architects designed the
special side door which would be
easily accessible and still leave the
front door exclusively for men. At
that time, with the wide use of
horse and buggies, the side door
was really far moreconvenient.
Male Ego
When asked what she thought
of the rule, Miss Musser, a former
Wave, termed it the assertion of
the male ego. She called it "stu-
pid but forgivable," adding that
she is not planning to run the
gauntlet again.
,Although Miss Musser's inno-
cent gate crashing tactics may
have shocked the Michigan male,
it is rumored that she is not the
first to commit such a crime.
