A revelation of starvation condi-
tions in the Ohio coal fields by two
University students who have in-
vestigated conditions there during
the past spring recess has resulted
in the instigation of an all campus
drive to obtain supplies of food and
clothing for the distressed miners.
Starting next Wednesday the
campaign will be waged by a com-
mittee headed by Eugene Kuhne,
'34, and backed by the Student
Socialist club, the local council of
religion and the liberal student's
Union. Wilfred Sellars, '33, and
Samuel Romer, '33, are the two
students who took the trip of in-
vestigation.
Tell of Suffering.
"We were horrified at the human
suffering and misery among those
50,000 people in the Hocking Valley
Area," they said.
Operators are not held responsi-
ble by the investigators for the
situation. Chaotic conditions in the
mining industry have brought about
the present difficulties, they claim-
ed. The industry has been over-
capiIalized and over-developed.
The United Mine Workers com-
missaries are making every possible
effort to relieve conditions, the in-
vestigators said. "Those in charge
of the commissaries tour the sur-
rounding district and beg the farm-
ers for wheat, pork, or corn to
supply the strikers with the bare
necessities of life.
IThe Red Cross, because of its
policy of not interfering in indus-
trialydisputes, ref uses to alleviate
conditions among the starving
miners to any extent," said the in-
vestigators, "and the Salvation
Ar*ay is working with limited funds,
dispensing religion with its few
bowls of soup."
Union rBehind Strike.
The strike is being sponsored by
the Union Mine Workers of Amer-
ica. It began last February when
wages were cut from $4 to $3 a day.
Farmers and business men of the
area are in sympathy with the
strikers, according to the investi-
gators..
Wages were high after the World
war, but repeated cuts have finally
caused the miners to rebel.
"We have left the strike area,"
said the investigators, . "but the
pleas of the mothers and wives
have not left our ears. 'Boys!' they
cried, 'when you get back into the
world, into civilization, tell the stu-
dents there of our condition. Tell
them so they might send us some
food or clothing. Old clothing, can-
ned food, or anything, boys, any-
thing!

Gibes Fly as Local
Alumni Are Panned
at Annual Banquet
Retorting to a gibe of Prof. John
L. Brumm as to the nobility of the
Ruthven signature, President Alex-
ander G. Ruthven promised to abol-
ish the journalism school as the
first step in the University economy
program in a clever program of
razzing last night at the annual
banquet of the University of Michi-
gan club. of Ann Arbor.
The editorial policy of a promin-
ent Ann Arbor evening newspaper
also came in for its share of the
razzing, when Professor Bruim, of
the journalism school, read an edi-
torial purporting to be from the
ONE PART OF THE MICHIGIANI
CREED
We believe that the student
should be trained as an alunmus
from matriculation; he enrolls in
the University for life and, for
better or worse, he will ever re
main an integral part of the
institution.
We believe that the relatiois
between the alumnus and~ his
University should he beneficial to
both, and that the mutual assist-
ance provided by the graduates
and by the institution should be
limited only by their powers for
service.
We believe that, to the Univer-.
sity, the alumnus is a member of
a brotherhood boind by the spir-.
itual tie of faith in the ideals of
education.
paper on the subject of Al Capone.
In the editorial it was pointed out
that while Capone was undoubkedly
an undesirable character, on the
other hand murderers do have their
good points. After the reading of
this editorial Ray Baker, editor of
a prominent Ann Arbor evening
paper was requested to take a bow.
In a more serious vein, President
Ruthven propounded a new creed
for the closer co-operation between
the University and the alumni, the
text of which is reproduced here.
As an illustration of this co-opera-
tion, the President pointed out the
development of the Michigan Un.
dergraduate Scholarships, and in-
troduced the three holders of such
scholarships from the Ann. Arbor
alumni club who are now in col-
lege and who were the honor guests
at the banquet.
These three b o y s, John F.
Schmidt, '35E, Victor P. Kayser, '35,
and John H. Bollock, '35, were pre-
sented with copies of the recently
published book, "The First People
of Michigan" by Dr. W. B. Hinsdale,
international authority on Ameri-
can archeology.
MINE PLAY PICKED

BRAENDLE TOPS HITTING
Ragged Playing Is Displayed by
Both Feams; Petoskey
Hits Homer.
Five runs scored in the fifth in-
aing enabled Michigan State Nor-
mal to defeat Michigan at Ferry
field yesterday,5-4, in the first reg-
ularly scheduled contest of the sea-
son for the Wolverines. The Huron
tallies came as a result 'of three
hits, a sacrifice, and an error by
Braendle.
With the exception of this one in-
ning McNeal, who started on the
mound for the Wolverines, pitched
admirably. The other three hits
collected off of him were widely
scattered.
Michaelis Hit Freely.
Michaelis, who assumed the hur-
ling duties for the Hurons, was hit
more freely, but was aided by some
poor base running on the part of
the Wolverines.
The Wolverines kicked away a
wonderful scoring opportunity in
the seventh inning when Tompkins
was caught trying to steal third
after a double to right. Later in
the same inning Diffley, who had
received a base on balls and ad-
vanced to third through Braendle's
single, was caught at the plate in
an attempt double steal.-
Three of the Wolverine tallies
came in the last half of the fifth.

tield that went for a home run
when it bounded over Gruber's
head. The rally was nipped in the
bud when Braendle was caught in
Ian attempt to steal second.,
Braecdle took hitting honors for
the dlay(collecting three singles in
three btes at bat. Tompkins also
had a ield day with the stick, get-
ting a double and two singles in
five tines up.
Michaelis had streaks in which he
was invincible. He scored seven
strike--outs. All but three of the
ten Wolverines whcP took part in
the cnest fell at victim to his fast
breakini curve ball.
Ragged Ball Exhibited.
Altogether the Wolverines collect-
ed 12 hits. Nine men were left on
the bases. Michaelis bore down in
the pineis, or else waited for some
Michigan man to get too frisky on
the bases.
Both teams played ragged ball,
The Hurons had three errors chalk-
(d up against them while Michi-
gan had two. In addition, there
were several "boners" on both sides.
In the sixth inning Manuel got to
second on what should have been
an easy out, Wittkop and Christy
waiting for each other to take an
easy fly ball back of second until
lit finally fell safe.
Wistert demonstrated that he may
become an invaluable member of
Coach Fisher's mound staff in the
two innings that he pitched. Mich-
aelis got to him for a double but
none of the other Normalites were
able to knock the ball out of the
infield. He struck out one.

chest tuberculosis by means of sur-
gery Prof. John Alexander of the
medical school, conducted a dem-
onstration yesterday at the second
session of the convention of Thor-
cic surgeons meeting at the Univer-
sity Hospital clinic. Dr. Alexandei
in the opinion of many observers
went a long way towards establish-
ing the value of surgical treatment
in many selective cases of tuber-
culous chest disorders.
The clinic provided demonstra-
tion of almost all the kinds of ther-
apy in chest tuberculosis which
have been treated in the hospital
this year. Dr. Alexander was assist-
ed by Dr. John Barwell, Dr. Camer-
on Haight, Dr. Duane Carr, and Dr.
J. Dewey Bisgard.
Other highlights of the morning
session included papers by Dr. M
C. Indoe, and Drs. Anderson and
Barnwell.
One of the most eminent speakers
scheduled for the meeting, Dr. E.
J. O'Brien of Detroit, was unable
to appear on account having been
seriously injured in an auto crack-
up last week. His paper on the
management of poor surgical risks
was delivered by one of his assist-
ants.
The afternoon session was feat-
ured by papers delivered by Dr.
Alexander, Dr. E. S. Welles of Sar-
anac Lake, N. Y., Dr. Carl A. 1-ed--
blom of Chicago, and Dr. Frank E.
Berry of New York.
The following oflicers were elect-
ed for the coming year: Dr. George

Appear for First
Time.
Swingout, the first official meet-
ing of the class of 1932 in pre-
paration for graduation, will be
held on May 4 in Hill auditorium,
according to Richard L. Tobin
swingout ' chairman. Alexander
Grant Ruthven will be the only
speaker on the .accompanying
program.
The final plans for the tradi-
tional function were completed
yesterday. The procedure in gen-
eral will be the same as that fo
lowed by the parade of the grad-
uating seniors.
To Meet at Library.
The entire class of 1932, clad for
the first time in their caps and
gowns, will meet at 3:30 o'clock, on
May 4, in front of the library. Here
the parade will start after the
ranks are formed.
The varsity band will lead the
procession being followed by the
honor guard, composed of 50 prom-
inent students from every college
and school of the University, mem-
bers of the literary college, the en,
gineering school, and other colleges,
marching in the same order as that
cusomary.
The procession will march dwn
the diagonal in a northwest direc-
tion, and down North University to
Hill auditorium, thus making a
( complete circuit of the campus.
(The route has been considably,
lengthenedbecause the parade l
ordinarily ,four blocks long and the
leaders were often seated in Hill
auditorium before the end of the
line had been formed.
Predict Largest Gathering.
Classes for seniors will be dis-
missed at 3 o'clock on the day of
Swingout so that all may be able
to attend, It is expected by the
committee that there will be more
people present than ever before in
the history of the event since the
graduating class is unusually large
and since interest in the affair has
increased steadily in the last few
years.
The honor guard will be named
some time in the near future, Tobin
said last night.
Seniors were urged by the Swing-
7ut committee to obtain their caps
and gowns as son as possible as
these wil be required to be worn at
the affair.

°d recently by Wilfred B. Shaw,
Director of Alumni Relations.
The Alumni University, which

itely found a favorable response
from graduates who felt the need
of intensively reviewing the general
feld of college instruction, and of
studying some special subject ne-
glected in undergraduate days. To
give the atmosphere of undergrad-
uate days the "students" at the
session will fill out almost as long a
series of cards as the regular stu-
dents, pay fees in person .to the
University cashier, and attend the
caseso nntire.
