LAWYERS RAZZ FRATERNITY RAIDS
IN CREASE DANCE 'RAW REVIEW'
Announce Addition of Course in
'Ambulance Chasing' to
Law Curriculum.
All the news of the law school
and the Lawyers' club, the news
which cannot be published in other
papers, was divulged to the public
last night by the publication of the
Raw Review, "razz" sheet and tab-
loid, which is published each year
at the time of the Crease dance.
Kenneth Stone, '31L, is the editor
of this year's edition.
Under the banner headline,
"Quasi Lawyers Give Party," the
leading article described completely
the dance itself. One detail in par-
ticular in the decorative scheme is
enlarged upon, although, the arti-
cle explains, it was "discarded. at
the last moment." This was a floral
decoration in deep lavender and
black, hung with black crepe and
bearing the "inspiring and uplifting
slogan, "Try and get a job, you
Muggs'."
In an involved discussion on
equity and its development the Re-
view explained that in the "400th
year before the Liquor Raids, the
famous case of Bishop vs. The Bad-
ger of Seville announced that Equi-
ty Jurisdiction rested on the Royal
Warrant issued by Justice Fry to
Prince Florsheim." The article
went on to explain that in later
years equity came to be judged by
the size of the woman's foot, and
bemoaned the fact that there are

The Raw Review also announces
the addition of a new course to the
Law school curriculum. The addi-
tion will be a "Seminar in Ambu-
lance Chasing in Village and Me-
tropolis," and, the article states,
"Special attention will be given to
creating legal situations justifying
big fees, mulcting the widows and
orphans, and the more subtle forms
of legal advertising."
The other articles in the paper
cover almost all the phases of life
in the Lawyers' club and include
sorties about an English barrister's
impressions of the club and an ex-
planation of the "racket on case
books." Thumbnail sketches of
courses and well-known persons
and a number of "Classified Ad-
tisements," two of which concern
the whereabouts of a pair of binoc-
ulars, were also included in this
edition.

INARTHIN HONORED'
BY MEDICAL GROUPi
American College of Physiciansl
Elect Pathology Professor
to Vice-Presidency.
Dr. Alfred.S. Warthin, professor
of pathology and director of the
pathological laboratories, was elect-
ed first vice-president of the Amer-
ican College of Physicians, in ses-
sion at Baltimore, according to
Associated Press dispatches.
Election to this post was made
1 at the same time the college named
Dr. Charles J. Jennings, of Detroit,
as second vice-president.
Dr. Cyrus C. Sturgis, professor of
internal medicine, and director of
Simpson Memorial Institute, who
recently announced that the eating
of pig stomach is beneficial to per-
sons suffering from pernicious
anaemia, addressed college mem-
bers on his discovery.
The eating of pig stomach by
those suffering from pernicious
anaemia, he said, supplies material
to the human stomach, the lack of
which, he declared, is responsible
for the disease.
Improvement in appetite, Dr.
Sturgis told the college, was noted
in patients who were fed pig stom-
ach, adding that they gained in
strengh and their body tempera-
ture and pulse returned to normal.
It is not, he concluded, unpleasant
to eat, but it must be eaten con-
stantly by patients to stave ofi
anaemia.
All attempts on the part of social fraternifies to make them-
selves tax exempt will be completely thwarted, if a proposed bill,
introduced by Phillip C. Pack, Washtenaw county representative
and publicity director for the Athletic association of the University,
is passed by the legislature. The measure is now in the hands of
the committee on state affairs.
"The proposed bill is designed to keep fraternities from remov-
ing their property from the tax rolls," Renresentative Pack said
yesterday concerning the pro-
posal. The bill is so stated that
it would be unlawful for any

EDUCATION SOCIETY
URGES SPECIAL TAX'
Suggests Tobacco Tax as Means
of Alleviating Property
Owners Burden.
LANSING, Mar. 27.--(P)-State
educational leaders attending the
ninth annual departmental con-.
ference of the Michigan Education
association today urged the pas-
sage of some form of special tax to
relieve the general property burden
In a resolution the association
suggested a tobacco tax as a mean:
of relieving 'the burden now placed
on property owners. Revenues from
a special tax, the resolution 'said,
should be used for equalizationhof
school costs, for handicapped chil-
dren, county normals, agricultural
and vocational aid, and for an ade-
quate teachers retirement fund. The
association is comprised of a mem-
bership of 32,500 from the teach-
ing profession of the state.
The association expressed opposi-
tion to any reductions in teacher's
salaries and to any legislation de-
signed to place control, of local
school finances in the hands of
state agencies.

orovided that they do not use it for
more than six hours in any one
week, and then only for the pur-
oose of holding meetings or con-
dlucting initiatory ceremonies.
Since the legislation proposes
that organizations using buildings
owned by the University for "dwell-
ings or habitual rendezvous" open
their membership to every student
upon application, that the admis-
sion fee of such an organization
not exceed $25, and that no dis-
crimination other than sex be made
against the applicant, it would be
impossible for a social fraternity
to deed its property to the Uni-
versity.
Faculty members will be exempt
from any legislation which might
limit the use of University-owned
buildings for club purposes the pro-
posed bill provides.
