Protection As a protecuon against the cold, the animals developed a layer of fat just beneath the skin, and on. the outside a heavy layer of matted wool, and long, coarse, reddish- brown hair, Prof. Hussey says. The mastodon was especially common around Ann Arbor, and its bones have been found in many of the swamps and bogs near the city. These animals survived in Michigan long after the ice had melted from this region, and only a few thousand years ago they must have been a very common sight. The bones of the mastodon are frequently found showing marks made by the teeth of wolves or other predatory animals that were accustomed to feed upon the carcasses, the geologist observes. I Complete bodies of the Wooly Elephant, similar to the ones that lived in Michigan, have been found Arbor frozen into the soil and ice of Siberia, where they have remained in cold storage for centuries, with the flesh preserved, in such a fresh condition that dogs were able to eat it after the body had been exposed. Prof. McKeachie Receives Award Prof. Wilbert J. McKeachie of the psychology department has won this year's Literary and° Edu- cation Class: of 1923 Award for "general excellence in teaching of undergraduate students." The award, which brings a sti- pend of $1,000, is given only to an assistant professor or an instructor and was instigated in 1949 by the Literary College class of 1919. Alumni of this class contributed to- ward the prize five times and in 1954 the literary and education classes of 1923 took over. Doctor Says Tetanus Shots Not Effective People who shrug off minor wounds and cuts with "It's just a scratch-nothing to worry about,"1 may be making a serious mistake. So writes Dr. A. Burgess Vial in1 the current University Medical Bulletin. No one, he declared, can ignore the possibilities of a tetanus infection. Although tetanus shots have be-; come standard procedure, they are "not very effective" if the poison has entered the nervous system., The shots may prevent but not necessarily cure tetanus infection, Dr. Vial said. Estimating the current medical approcahes to tetanus treatment, he said removing the seat of in-' fection has "theoretic value," anti-; biotics only have "some: value," and the worth of cortisone is "yet to be established." -i ~ MOTT CONTRIBUTOR: Ground Broken for Flint's 'U' Campus Ground has been broken for thev new University senior college at Flint. The first spadeful of earth was turned for a $1,000,000 building, the University's first in its Flint branch, June 2. Combined with the Flint Junior College, the new branch, the first of its kind in University history, will enable students at Flint to get a University degree without com- ing to Ann Arbor. Mott Donation Charles S. Mott, Flint philan- thropist who donated; funds for construction of the building, cele- brated his 80th birthday by turn- ing the first spadeful in the groundbreaking ceremony. He was followed by University President. Harlan H. Hatcher. Mott was awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree by the Uni- 'U' Aided versity at a special convocation following a dinner attended by 1,200. Mott's philanthropy has made possible the buildings for a cultural center in Flint including the University's senior college. President Hatcher said the col- lege in Flint represents a "new milestone in the history of educa- tion in the state of Michigan." Ruthven Idea He said the idea of a senior col- lege at Flint had its inception with former University president Alex- ander G. Ruthven and had receiv- ed the support of leading Flint citizens, especially Mott. Mott, wealthy General Motors stockholder, has twice been mayor of Flint. Through the Mott Foun- dation program in Flint, thousands have benefited through education- al recreational developments. Also at the ceremony, Mott pre- sented to the Flint Board of Edu- cation a new $1,500,000 building called the Charles Steward Mott Community Center for Science and the Applied Arts. The idea of a University branch in Flint was approved in principle by the Board of Regents Jan. 21. The University will administer and staff the senior college operations in facilities provided by the Flint Board of Education. Tentative date for the branch's opening is September, 1956. Michigan boasts nearly 30% of the nation's total salt production. Its output of 4 million tons of salt annually is almost twice that of any other state. Production centers near Detroit and Saginaw. .

BOMARC Development The joint efforts of one of the country's pioneer University Engi- neering Departments and one of America's aircraft manufacturers in the initial development of the new U. S. Air Force "BOMARC" Supersonic Guided Missile, was re- vealed by the Air Force, the Boeing Airplane Company, and the Uni- versity last week. The University, as a subcontrac- tor to Boeing Airplane Company, participated in early studies on de- fense weapon systems concepts and later built research models of ground control equipment for Boe- ing, according to the announce- ment released today. The program began in ,195Q under contract to the U. . Air Force. BOMARO Also revealed for the first time, was the origin of the name of the new supersonic missile . "BOMARC." The first two letters, ,O, stand for Boeing-MARC for Michigan Aeronautical Research Center, which since has been re- named as the Willow PRunRe- search Center of the University. The BOMARC Projeet involves not only the design and develop- ment of the missile itself, designat- ed as the IM-99, but also all allied control, ground handling and lo- gistic Pquipment of the complete defensive system. Successful firings are now a part of the present dw- velopment program, the U. S. Air Force recently announced. Directed by Prof. Harry H. Goode, the Willow Run Research Center is. a mayor unit of the Uni-- versity's Engineering Research In- stitute. The University College of Engineering, which celebrated its Centennial last year, was a pio- neer in aeronautical research and education. It launched the first such curriculum in the United States in 1916, and has been a leader in aviation research and education since that date. At the end of World. War II there were so many demands upon the University which required space for instruction and research that' the Federal government turned over to the University its famed Ford Bomber Plant at Wil- low Run. As a part of the Univer- sity, the Center has the coopera- tion' of the vast research staff throughout the campus. The Engi- neerin, Research Institute Is under the direction of Prof. Richard G. Folsom. Its. pr" ;ram is managed by a committee set up by the re- gents of the University and has as its chairman, the dean of the Col- lege of Engineering, George Gran-. ger Brown.
