Pearl, '29, is the win- ner of the local division of New York Times Current Events con- test, held here last Friday, it is bing announced today by the com- mittee' of the University faculty which arranged the local contest. The winner was selected from 28 participants and is now eligible for a $150 cash prize, and for compe- tition in the national contest, in which 20 colleges and universities are eteried. Second place in the contest was awarded to Victor Rabinowitz, '31, who is' also winner of the under- class competition. He will receive a $75 cash prize. Allan R. Moore, '29Ed., winner of third honors,, will receive a $25 cash award. "Pearl's paper is the best written that has been submitted at any current events contest held at the University. Michigan will have a worthy representative' in the na- tional contest," Prof. Everrett S- Brown, of .the political science de- partment and chairman of the committee which sponsored the contest locally, stated when he an- nounced the winner. Interest Is Increasing "Interest in the Current Events' contest is decidedly on the in- crease" Prof. Brown stated. "There were 28 participants this year as compared with 17 last year. There was also a superior quality of work exhibited. An equality of entrants btweCn the upper and lower clas- ses of the University makes the future outlook on such contests ever more' promising." Pearl, who comes from St. Johns, is an .outstanding scholar on the campus. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, last year (his junior year). During the past three years at the University his record has contained, outside of "A" grades, only four "B's". Predominating in the course of study followed by the winner at the University, are clas. sical subjects; 'the study of Latin and Greek, and allied subjects. Judges of the event wish to com- mend the' efforts of the contestant who registered under the number 822; but who failed to include his name or class in' the identification envelope. His work ranked among the first few, and if he is an under- classman should enter the contest next year, according to Prof. Brown. Members of the committee in ad- dition to Prof. Brown, were Prof. P. W. Slosson, of the history de- partment, Prof. John L. Brumm, of the journalism department, Prof Z. C. Dickenson, of the economics department, and Prof. Waldo Ab- bot, of the rhetoric department. Competition in the contest con- sisted of identifying 25 prominent' persons, answering 15 factual ques- . tions of a brief nature, and 10 of a more general nature, and writing' ~essay's of from 250 to 500 words on five subjects selected from 15 topics that have taken a significant as- pect during the last nine months. Pearl's paper will now be entered into national competition, which' includes 19 other universities. Most of these institutions are located in the east, Chicago being' the only one west of Michigan. Students At Indiana Oppose Fund Drives Students interviewed by the In- diana Daily Student, expressed themselves in favor of the aboli- tion of fund drives for campus groups. Several said that the bur- ,den of such drives falls on the or- ganized students, often being added to their house bill, while the unor- ganized students have little to pay. house which is now considerings "of edubaIs of educatio7 annual tariff schedule. Most'of the Dr. Littlec arguments occured during the dis- the' way, it' cussion of the 40 percent ad valo- the way. N rem tariff on carillons which is be- not enjoyin ing attacked at present. the alterna Representatives of six college' said, was a and church institutions who at- tended the hearings asked that carillons be put on the free list in order to encourage musical and cultural advancement in commun- ities where religious and educa- tional bodies exist. Howard Flem- ing, an officer of Grace church, Plainfield, N. J., in speakinglor the removal of the tariff on cariliorns made the point' tlat although some bells and chimes are cast in the United States, all carillons had tQ be imported and that this neces- sarily would affect many churches and schools throughout the' coun- try. S. W. Seery, of the VcShane Bell Foundry company of Baltimore, immediately retorted by saying that American manufacturers could make carillons just as well as their' foreign competitors if they were given a chance. He then added that all those representatives who were asking for tax exemption on the'bells Were merely "an organized band of mighty poor Americans who were interested in creating' a* carillon monopoly abroad." Results of this hearing' by the' wvays and means committee of the house are awaited with interest and anxiety by alumni of the Uni- versity of Michigan who are spon- soring the carillon campaign for the bells to be installed in the proposed Burton Memorial Cam- panile. If, on the recommendation of the ways and means committee, Con- gress should remove the duty'on: carillons it -will affect markedly the University carillon project. It will result in one of two things ac- cording to T. Hawley Tapping, field, secretary of the Alumni associa- tion. Either the originally planned carillon of 48 bells will be purchas- ed or else the same amount of money will be expended for a caril- lon which would be the finest in the world; surpassing even the' newly erected carillon in the' Bird Sancturay in Florida, which was recently dedicated by President Coolidge. Among the institutions inter- ested in the hearings, besides the University of Michigan, are' the Park Avenue Baptist church of New York and the University of Chicago. - ---- - ------- - - --- - Dawn111 1 onuts The Partner for Your Coof-fe° \5 OU Can take th biology expert's word for that. .And you can believe the physiology prof when he says they are essential to health.
