Kuiper of the Yerkes Observatory is conducting a series of lectures on the stabil- ity of the solar system and its ori- gin at the University observatory. The lectures are held at 2 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They will continue for the next three weeks. h Prof. Kuiper, who has published a theory on the origin of the- earth and the planets, was the first man to discover the univer- se's super-dense "white dwarf" stars, which have a density 100 million times that of water. And his discovery in 1947 of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Mars established a similarity with the Earth's atmosphere and led to renewed speculation about the possibility of human life on Mars. His work at the McDonald Ob- servatory in Mount Locke, Texas during 1948 led to the discovery of a faint satellite of the planet Uranus and of a satellite of Nep- tune. In 1949 Prof. Kuiper resigned as director of the Yerkes Observatory in order to carry out research on. the origin of the solar system with the help of the big 200 inch tele- scope at Mount Palomar, Califor- nia. Prof. Kuiper will also lecture on "The Planets" at 8:30 p.m. to- morrow in 1025 Angell Hall.

Reeder, Grad., one of two drivers involved in an acci- dent in which an Ann Arbor wo- man was seriously injured, was released on $300 bond, which was posted in circuit court yesterday, pending an Aug. 6 court appear- ance where he will answer to a felonious driving charge. The accident in which Mrs. Katie R. Staebler was injured oc- curred Saturday. Mrs. Staebler, 75 years old, was waiting for a bus at Crest St. and W. Washington St. when Reeder's car and a vehicle driven by Mal- colm Boucher collided. One of the cars plunged over the curb and overturned trapping Mrs. Staeb- ler beneath it. She was "coming along very well" yesterday according to a physician at St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital.

They explained that settling of concrete is a common occurence and it can only be eliminated if the concrete is poured below the frost line, which is three and one- half feet below the ground sur- face in Ann Arbor. The job at the Business Admin- istration Building was small com- pared to many similar projects, they said. The concrete slab in front of Hill Auditorium was rais- ed three and one-half inches ear- lier this year. The plant department is now experimenting with a silicone treatment of building materials which manufacturers claim will prevent concrete and stone from absorbing water thus reducing the damaging action of frost. Prince's Trial of the governor and judges of the Michigan Territory on Aug. 26, 1817. Judge Augustus Woodward was the author of the law. On April 30, 1821 another law was adopted changing the name of the school from Michigania to the University of Michigan. At the same time, control was placed in a board of 21 trustees. The University remained in De- troit from 1817 until 1837 when the Board of Trustees held their last meeting and turned the build- ing and other property over to the new Board of Regents which had been given authority over the University in its new location, Ann Arbor. The records of those early days of the University in Detroit are on exhibit in bound volumes. Photostats of the acts launching the educational venture are in- cluded. Today the Rackham Educational Memorial in Detroit is the only part of the University that remains in the city of its founding.

This, the second postponement granted to Pahlavi, was requested so that Prosecuting Attorney, Douglas K. Reading might attend a convention of Michigan prose- cutors on the originally scheduled date, July 26. Conviction calls for a mandatory two-day jail sentence. According to local legal authorities the prince has no diplomatic immunity and this leaves the prerogative of re- questing a suspension of sentence in the hands of the Prosecuting Attorney.
