PAGE FOUR TE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDlAY, JULY 16, 1948 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. NUMBER 1 ON THlE iT PARADE (In city traffic) 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."

Incorporation Discussed by Prof. Brieri v- (Continued ifrom Page 1) 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.

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. I .A Daily-Roy Brogren.

Liberty St. By JIM BROWN 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. Air Conditioned! TODAY and SATURDAY! 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.
