THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 1. 5, 1934 THE MIcIlIf;AN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1934 Four Michigan Children Burned To Death At Inkster Arrangements For Rifle Team Are Completed Freshmen To Be Chosen: Following Completion Of Requisite Course Plans have been completed for the R.O.T.C. rifle team, Captain Rosswell E. Hardy, coach of the team, an- nounced yesterday. From the sophomore, junior, and senior members of the unit 28 men have listed themselves as candidates for the team. From the freshmen, 20 men will be chosen from the highest scores turned in by the new men. In order to equalize the period of train- ing to a certain extent, these men will not be picked until their entire class has completed the course in rifle markmanship, which is one of the re- quisites of freshman R.O.T.C. work. The results of this course, Capt. Hardy stated, will provide an index as to the comparative abilities of the men engaged in firing. Scores fired during the week of Dec. 10 will count as a record forming the qualifica- tion necessary to tryout for the rifle team. The 20 men with highest scores that week will be excused from rifle mark- ranship for the rest of the semester Prntirins frn tha n 7ith the w w w ..

The father, Gus Wendt, and the mother were out of the house when the fire occurred. Above are shown the remains of the small frame house.

Directed by Joseph Von Sternberg. The advertisement calls it "avast. panorama of Barbaric Beauty." The nail was hit on the head, and although the promoters would have us think this leads to something swell, there is nothing more to it. "The Scarlet Em- press" can boast of no praiseworthy acting, no plot of any satisfactory in- terest, no historic significance, and above all nto honest-to-goodness drama. However, the exploitation of Marlene Dietrich is well achieved by the famous Von Sternberg, and the super-magnificent pageantry is about the most extreme and most profuse that the movies have yet produced. There is so much of it that it is al- most sickening., What plot there is is based on the diary of Catherine II of Russia. It tells the story of how she is taken as a young, innocent girl to become the bride of the half-wit heir to the Rus- sian throne, and how she grows up in the court, learning the tricks of am- bitious women. She stalks up the lad- der of success and eventually finds herself at the top, followed by the Russian army, a la Joan of Arc. There are only one or two moments in this plot that produce genuine enjoy- ment, and those moments rely chief- ly on the Dietrich sex appeal. Explanatory sub-titles are used freely to get the plot in motion, and whenever it falls flat, another one is stuck in to pick it up. There is one scene after another showing the bar- baric splendor of the Russian court, the extremities to which the 'royal family went to achieve mere nothings, and Marlene Dietrich seducing am- bassadors, army officers, and Grand 1%00 1% 5. omwI .racic ing IromL nen on wiLn raze aI I men of the advanced unit and the i dr I R T V li sophomores, the freshmen will have equal chances with the other tryouts Dukes.

Though they prefer the smooth flat slide-fastened fly, they are also opposed to the uncovered zipper which dis- plays a strip of bare metal. Kover-Zip, the invisible seamline closure demanded by good taste, has won approval in colleges from coast to coast. Here are a few typical comments on Kover-Zip by college men selected as "best-dressed": Joseph A.
