THIS DAY In Daily History Man foregoes nap, decides to shoot squirrel instead Dec. 1, 1935 -Instead of napping after Thanksgiving dinner, Frank Shinledecker went squirrel hunting. Shingledecker, groggy after his plentiful turkey-day meal, decided that a walk and a whiff of fresh air could do him some good. To protect himself from any strangers or furry woodland creatures, Shingledecker took his gun along for his stroll through Pittsfield township. Reports are unclear whether the squirrel was the instigator in the incident, but when Charities benefit from fraternities' fun amng efforts Charlie Ortiz cleans a panel yesterday that is part of an exhibit being put up by the Smithsonian Institution that chronicles the Montgomery bus boycott. Exhibit focuses on history of the Montgomery bus boycott Members of Pike and Fiji presented the proceeds to the charity organizations before the Michigan-Ohio State football game. By Conor Reynolds For the Daily A 187-mile relay and the destruc- tion of a car have combined to raise more than $65,000 for charity. Separate fundraising campaigns by the Pi Kappa Alpha and Phi Gamma Delta fraternities raised more than $65,000 for football coach Lloyd Carr's Coach Carr Cancer Fund and the American Cancer Soci- ety, respec- tively. Donations "I think Mi came from pri- vate citizens football fa and corporate sponsors. always lOc Beginning at 6 a.m. the Fri- to contrib day before the the rivar Michigan-Ohio r iar State football ositive w game, members of both frater- nities relayed footballs from Interfraternity ( Columbus, Ohio to Ann Arbor. They arrived at Michigan Stadi- um about an hour before the game began. In the third annual "Charity Foot- ball Run," Pike members carried balls with the signatures and dedi- cations of contributors personally affected by cancer. In Fiji's second annual "Rivalry Run," fraternity members carried the actual balls that would be used in the game. Founded in 1998, the Coach Carr Cancer Fund is a charity organiza- tion that raises money to support cancer patient care programs at the University health system's Compre- hensive Cancer Center. Members of Pike and Fiji pre- sented the proceeds to the charities in a ceremony in the north end zone of Michigan Stadium 25 minutes before kickoff. Interfraternity Council spokes- man Jon Krasnov said both efforts exceeded their fundraising goals, with the Rivalry Run raising more than $25,000 and the Char- ity Football Run raising more than $40,000. These numbers surpassed those of last year, when the Rivalry Run garnered $15,000 and the Charity Football Run raised $13,000. Fiji member and LSA senior Alex Garnepudi saidicontribu- tions are still coming in, and the fraternity will continue to donate to the charities over the course of the academic MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A Smithsonian Institution exhibit fea- turing a collage of photos, quotes and historical text that chronicle the Montgomery bus boycott will go on view this week at the state Capitol as part of the 50th anniversary celebra- tion of the landmark protest. The exhibit - "381 Days: The Montgomery Bus Boycott Story" - will be on view from Dec. 2 to Jan. 14 and at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville from Feb. 4 to April 6. It then starts a 14-city national tour through 2009. "It's an American story," said Mar- quette Folley, project director for the Smithsonian's traveling exhibitions, yesterday. "This story allows us to know that one individual standing with commitment will be joined by many, and together we can start a revolution." The boycott began four days after Rosa Parks, a black woman, was arrested Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to give up her seat to a white man. Some 40,000 blacks took part in the 381-day protest, walking, carpool- ing and taking cabs until a legal challenge. ended the city's racially segregated bus system. Although Parks's arrest was the catalyst for the boycott, the exhibit also examines the contributions of the many Montgomery blacks whose refusal to ride the bus hit the city hard financially and drew national attention to the emerging civil rights movement. "The lynchpin of all of this is that people did it nonviolently," said Ruth Rambo, associate state director of AARP, which is underwriting the exhibit. "It was a question of looking at the finances of the city and seeing where they can make a difference, and here we are with more opportu- nities than we had 50 years ago." The exhibit, with assistance from the Alabama Historical Commission and Troy University's Rosa Parks Library and Museum, will be cele- brated today with an opening recep- tion at the Capitol. Anniversary kickoff events Thurs- day also include an eight-block chil- dren's march to the Capitol from the downtown site where Parks was arrested. While Parks's arrest inspired the boycott, other black women were the plaintiffs in the federal court lawsuit - known as Browder v. Gayle - that led to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that outlawed segregated pub- lic transportation. Principals of that case - attor- ney Fred Gray and plaintiffs Aure- lia Browder, Claudette Colvin, Susie McDonald and Mary Louise Smith - will be honored at the exhibit's reception along with the found- ing members of the Montgomery Improvement Association, which organized the citywide boycott. Each of the Browder honorees will receive an original quilt square designed, constructed and signed by Gee's Bend quilters - black women in rural Wilcox County whose stun- ning quilt designs have become a traveling museum exhibit of their own. The MIA will be honored with a full-sized quilt, which will be dis- played in its honor in the Rosa Parks Museum. ichigan ins are oking ute to y in a -John Krasnov Council spokesman year. In another event for charity, prior to kickoff, Michigan fans used hammers, baseball bats and other blunt objects to destroy a donated '80s model Dodge Aries painted to resemble a Buckeye hel- met prior to kickoff. The "Car Bash," hosted by Alpha Epsilon Pi, Psi Upsilon, Alpha Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta, raised almost $2,000, which will be donated to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. Alpha Epsilon Pi member and Kinesiology junior Brian Mill- man said the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry provided "a good opportu- nity to raise money for the Gulf community." Speaking on the success of these fundraising efforts, Krasnov said: "I think Michigan football fans are always looking to contribute to the rivalry in a positive way."
