Library Hours
Revision Still
Very Tentative
Plans for extending the propos-
ed fall library hours were still in
a highly tentative stage this week.
According, to Student Legisla-
ture President Len Wilcox, '52,
University officials have not made
a definite "promise" to lengthen
the hours as was reported to The
Daily Tuesday.
They have only indicated that
they will look into the matter,
Wilcox said.
Because of budget restrictions,
a 40,000 man-hour cut in library
service is now scheduled for next
fall. Library authorities have said
this would force the Library to
curtail service and probably keep
the building shut down on Sun-
days.
When the proposed cuts were
first announced last semester
the SL unanimously voted to
send Library Direetor Warner G.
Rice a letter of protest.
Wilcox has since been negotia-
ting with authorities in hopes of1
effecting some change in the sche-1
duled service restrictions.

Share-Book
Plan Started
A "share the book" plan has
)een started in the School of Edu-
cation with professors providing
the books and students doing
most of the sharing.
At the urging of Dean J. B. Ed-
monson, faculty members have
been clearing their shelves of
books, bulletins and reprints deal-
ing with educational topics. The
items are placed on tables and in-
terested students are invited to
help themselves.
Dean Edmonson said he hoped
the idea of sharing books would
be taken up elsewhere, especially
by various community organiza-
tions.

sity Fresh Air Camp comes to a
close.
They will return from four
weeks of swimming, boating, na-
ture hikes and overnight camping
trips made possible by the Uni-
versity through donations from
students and various social agen-
cies.
THE CAMP is maintained to
give help to boys with special be-
havioral problems and to provide
a training ground for students,
both graduate and undergraduate,
who are majoring in education,
sociology and psychology.
These students act as counsel-
lors during the two month-long
sessions which begin the first
day of summer school each
June.
Counsellors are allotted six cre-
dits toward their degree for work-
ing with the children.
Eighty percent of the student-
counsellors attend the University
of Michigan, the remainder come
from schools as far away as Cali-
fornia and Stanford.
The counsellors eat and sleep
with the children and partici-
pate in their daily round of ac-
tivities.
In the evening, each counsellor
writes a full report on the behav-
ior of every boy in his or her par-
ticular cabin.
ALTHOUGH THE counsellor is;
the basic unit, the camp has a
complete staff of pediatricians, so-
cial case workers and child psy-
chologists who are ready for im-
mediate assistance in case any
difficulties arise.
The camp, which is on Patter-
son Lake near Pinckney, Michi-
gan, was founded in 1924 by a
religious club for children, head-
ed by Louis Reimani It was lat-
er taken over by the University.
"The Fresh Air Camp is the kind
of place where people who want
to work in human behavior get the
opportunity," according to Prof.
William Morse of the education
school, who has been the director
of the camp for the past six years.

Outstanding authorities in the
field will study fundamental bio-
logical processes, which are still
very obscure, according to Prof. E.
E. Barker, chairman of the phy-

Art Teachers
To Pay V sit
To Institute
It's off to the big city and a
visit to the Detroit Institute of
Arts today for public school art
teachers enrolled in the new sum-
mer course "Interpreting the Vis-
ual Art in School and Society."
I( s . "
FIELD TRIPS consisting of
tours to Greenfield Village, Cran-
brook, and an optional week-long
visit to art centers in New York
City are part of the program of
this six week course designed to
"give Michigan art teachers a
chance to meet and extend their
creative activities," according to
Prof. Emil Weddige of the archi-
tecture college.
The faculty consists of Prof.
Weddige and Nicholas Marsican-
io, instructor at Cooper Union
and the Brooklyn Museum
School.
Immediate acceptance of this
course was not expected by ad-
ministrators of the S u m m e r

School due to its unique nature,
but Prof. George M. McEwen, Se-
cretary of the Summer Session re-
ported that "rather wide interest
was expressed by many who were
unable to come."
This interest insures that the
course will be repeated next year
as an annual program of the
summer school, Prof. Weddige
added.
Lectures by guest specialists in
art and art education will supple-
ment the program of studio work-
shops, lectures and visits to se-
lected galleries.

Planners Predict City's
Daily Traffic to Double

i .,._ .

U

Every day will be "Football Sat-
urday" in terms of traffic in the
Ann Arbor area by 1970, County
Planning Engineer Einer Hend-

ning Commission.

ArriveSunday
Nineteen teachers from France
will arrive at the University Sun-
day for a summer of study.
The six women and 13 men are
teachers of English or American
civilization in the French lyceum,
comparable to the twelfth grade
and junior college level in the
United States.
While at the University they will
take courses in American litera-
ture, history and government. A
basic orientation and course in
linguistics will be given the
French teachers at the English
Language Institute. Special lec-
turers about educational leaders
and educational philosophy have
been arranged for the group.

dollars will have to be spent here
for highway improvements.
PART OF the cost will cover-
construction of three bypasses
around Ann Arbor-M-112 (the
Detroit-Chicago Expressway), U.S.
12 and US-23.
Traffic on Washtenaw Road
(M-17) is expected to climb
from 16,000 daily to 26,000, the
equivalent of hte traffic on this
road on a "sellout football Sat-
urday," while the same period
will see Ann Arbor daily traffic
doubled, the report continued.
As Detroit-area industry contin-
ues its westward movement, there
are new outlooks predicted in oth-
er fields.
Population in the Ann Arbor-
Ypsilanti area will total 170,000;
thirty-seven new school build-
ings must be built to care for
the rising number of school chil-
dren; 10,000 new homes will
have to be constructed and at
least 4 million dollars spnet for
sewer and water conduits.
Action on the basis of this re-
port is already being planned by
at least two county school districts
who are shaping their expansion
to coincide with the predicted po-
pulation growth.

M.v D. Strike
Threatened
In Britain
LONDON-(1)-All 20,000 phy-
sicians in Britain's 'socialized
Health Service told the Govern-
ment last night they would resign
Sept. 25 unless their demands for
increased pay rates were submitted
to arbitration.
The ultimatum was delivered to
Minister of Health Hilary A. Mar-
quand after British Medical Asso-
ciation committees from all coun-
ties conferred for seven hours in
London.
Unless arbitration is agreed up-
on by the September deadline, the
B.M.A. statement said, the resig-
nations of the 20,000 should be
considered submitted as of that
date.
The doctors now get a flat fee
of $2.50 a year per patient and are
allowed to sign on a maximum of
4,000 patients. They have been
complaining they have to take on
too many to earn a decent living.
The 20,000 medical men who
signed up under Britain's National
Health Service include all except
1,000 of the nation's general prac-
titioners.
The income of each of them is
estimated between $3,000 and $6,-
000 a year. The average British
worker is credited with an in-
come of $873 a year.
