THE MICHIGAN DAILY Forgiveness Polic Ends For Library The Ann Arbor Public Library got what it hoped for from its "forgiveness days," and even a bit more. Among the 438 books which were returned during this two-day period in which all fines for over- due books were suspended, were 11 unchecked books taken, apparent- ly, from' the Ann Arbor High School Library. and 11 from other high schools in the area. The "forgiveness days" were the climax of National Library Week, which ended last Sunday. Books were, returned from as far back as 1951, including 33 that were due sometime in 1958, five due in 1957, one due in 1952, and one in 1951' Numerous books taken out this year were- returned, including 10 from January, 5 from Febi uary, 25 from March and 298 from this month. But. it was not only the main Library book borowers who took advantage of the two fine-free "r days. Books from the Bookmobile, which services the entire area also came in over the weekend. Two books taken out in 1958 were re- turned, along with two from Feb- ruary- of this year, one from March and 22 from April. Five books with no cards or pockets were returned for the Bookmobile. Six other unidenti- fled books were returned to the main library. Weekend Calls.

Ypsilanti Name Inspired By Greek Revolutionist By THOMAS TURNER j The Greek revolt against the Ottoman Turks In the 1820's aroused the sympathies of Roman- tics everywhere, including those of, the poet Byron, who died at the hands of the Turks. The revolution seems to have stirred a few hearts in Washtenaw county too, for it gave neighboring Ypsilanti its name. Demetrios Ypsilanti, the man so immortalized, was born in 1793 of a family claiming, descent from Byzantine emperors. His grand- father had served as Dragoman or interpreter to the; Sultan; but had fallen from favor and was executed. Plans Upset His son, the father of Demetrios Ypsilanti, twice served the Sultan but was deposed. He raised an army in Russia and moved to free Greece, but his plans were halted' by the Peace of Tilsit signed by the Czar and Napoleon in 1806. He died in exile, a disappointed man. Demetrios, however, was to see his fatherland independent. Both fought in the Russian army against the Turks and joined the Greek revolutionaries. Alexander, how- ever, suffered several consecutive defeats and fled to exile in Austria. He was imprisoned in Vienna and died there seven years later, in 1828. Just one year later, however, Demetrios Ypsilanti defeated the Turkish commander, Aslan Bey, at the pass of Petra and forced him to capitulate in the final action of the war. Saluted- Him And one year later, a village in Michigan changed itsname to honor him, "a salute from one freedom-loving people to another." Ann Arbor, on the other hand, was named for two ladies named Ann who used to live here.
