Basketball. Hero's
80th Birthday
Jake Mazer, credited by many
with putting Detroit on the map
in basketball, celebrated his 80th
birthday last Sunday with quiet
recollections of his fabulous ca-
reer in the game.
Recovering at the Wilshire
Apartments home from a recent
operation, Mazer still likes to
recall the old days when he
played here for the YMCA and
DAC basketball teams..
Coming here from Pittsburgh
when he was 23, he organized
a team that reigned supreme
here for 11 years. Mazer, him-
self, was considered by many
as the greatest foul shooter in
the game's history.
Mazer, who could drop 95 of
100 free throws with ease, once
won a game against eastern col-
legiate champion Yale Univer-
sity with a foul throw just as
the game ended. His team won
24-23.

Judge Baum to be Feted
At Luncheon Wednesday
A group of builders, real es-

allied fields are sponsoring a
testimonial luncheon for Circuit
Judge Victor J. Baum, it was
announced by Morris Brown,
Ascher Tilchin and Michael
Zeltzer.
The three Detroit business-
men said the luncheon will be

at Sidney Hill Northwest Club
on W. Eight Mile Road.
campus, the be known as the
Shiffman Humanities Center.
Architectural plans are com-
pleted and construction will be
started within a month.
The new Shiffman Humanities
Center, according to plans, will
introduce a new concept in uni-
versity classroom construction.
In it, the traditional concept of
classrooms with conventional
student chairs and desks sur-
rounded by blank walls and a
blackboard will be replaced by
a series of classroom-lounges
which are arranged by subject-
matter and surrounded by ori-
ginal manuscripts, portraits and
source material relating to the
courses to be offered in each
lounge.
Students will meet in spacious
lounges built around the theme
of the courses to be offered.
Each lounge will have a large
conference table seating from
12 to 25, around which the
student4' and the instructor will
conduct their seminars and col-
loquia. In the Shiffman Human-
ities Center, among others, these
lounges will be known as the
Walt Whitman Room, the
Shakespeare Room, and the
Spinoza Room. Other lounges
will be devoted to the great
classics of literature and philos-
ophy.
"In these lounges the students
will be able completely to sur-
round themselves with the en-
vironment of the person or
subject-matter under discussion.
Brandeis University has already
acquired many priceless first
editions, original manuscripts,
portraits, and other source ma-
terial, and it is expected that
these collections will be aug-
mented to complete the equip-
ment of the Humanities Cen-
ter," according to Dr. Abram L.
Sachar, president of Brandeis
University.
