By MARSHALL D. SHULMAN Indian braves, forest bards, dunces on skates, Egyptians and fire-wor- shippers--shouting madly, running across the lawns and walks. "Oh, no, ma'am," it was explained to the visitor. "They're not really mad. Those, ma'am are our out- standing undergraduates receiving their due recognition." Five honorary societies on the cam- pus exist to honor Michigan men who have distinguished themselves in ac- tivities: Michigamua, Druids, Sphinx, Vulcans and Triangles. Their his- tory is interesting and their initiation ceremonies colorful. Michigamua, oldest among the hon- orary societies, came into being in the fall of 1900 in order to study philos- ophy under the famous Prof. Robert Mark Wenley. Because those who wrote the most under Wenley seemed to get the highest grades, the group was originally called the "Hot Air" Club. 800 Living Alumni The Indian motif came two years later. The Michigamua tribe, from which the state took its name, was not a very large one, though well known in this region. Charter mem- bers took upon themselves Indian names: "Pontiac" Fred Dewey,. "Ra- ven Locks" Hollister, "King" Phil Bursley, "Minnehaha" Ralph Magof- fin, "Billy Bowlegs" Temple. More than 800 living alumni now bear their characteristic appellations. "Tribe," as it is familiarly called, initiates its "palefaces" in a public ceremory in which the fighting braves," last year's initiates, assume the Indian headdress and red war paint, and bring the supplicant ini- tiates into the wisdom of Indian! lore. Founded In 1910 At one time, the annual "Tribe" party used to be one of the most important functions of the year. It would start as a steak roast early in the afternoon and the dinner would Mile Relay Is Margin Of Victory By WILLIAM R. REED . In the greatest individual per: formance in the history of track, Jesse Owens of Ohio State smashed three world's records to bits and tied another in the Western Confer.. ence Track and Field Champion; ships held yesterday at Ferry Field, but a fighting Michigan team held on through fourteen events and came back in the relay to set a new Con. ference mark and win the team title for a complete sweep of Big Ten competition for the year. Michigan's point total was 48, Ohio State had 43Y2, Wisconsin. 29 , Indiana 24!/2, Northwestern. 20, Iowa 19, Illinois 18'2, Purdue 11,: Minnesota 10 and Chicago 1. At the weekly Druids meeting, members are togged in medieval hood- ed robes, and assemble under the di- rection of the "arch-druid," after which the "seneca" calls the roll, and the "hoarder" reports on the funds. Druid initiates assemble around the Druid rock in front of Angell Hall, and crawl about with planks tied to their backs rendering homage be- fore the bonfire. Each year, incom- ing members are responsible for giv- ing the historic rock a bath. The Egyptian theme runs through the ceremonials of Sphinx, junior honorary literary society, which was founded more than three decades ago. Intended now solely to pay honor to distinguished juniors, Sphinx orig- inally had the job of conducting a tag day to pay the expenses of the Varsity Band, assisted in the enforce- ment of campus traditions, and helped to entertain visiting athletes and interest promising high school athletes. Old members wear red robes in the initiation ceremonies, and initiates, stripped to the waist and well covered with venetian red, are tied to a board, and loaded onto a hay wagon for a ride through the city. There was a time when Druids carried .45 revolv- ers with which they startled the na- tives, but someone - the city or the University -objected. And then, in those nebulous "good old days" there used to be an overhead water release (Continued on Page 5) Sadler Names Prize Winners For 1935 - 36 Announcement of scholarships awarded for the coming year to stu- dents in the College of Engineering CrippledChildren The Chrysler Male Choir of De- troit, largest chorus of its kind ,in the country, will present a concert at 8 p. m. today in Hill auditorium for the benefit of the University Hos- pital School. The presentation is under the spon- sorship of the Educational Commit- tee of the King's Daughters of Mich- igan. Proceeds of the program will be used in supporting the educational work for the crippled children and in maintaining the teachers of the Hos- pital School. The presentation of this industrial choir will be one of the most unique and interesting in Ann Arbor musical annals. The members of this or- ganization belong only because they like to sing. Mr. Tom Lewis, who is Assistant Personnel Director of the Chrysler Corporation, and Director ox the choir said, "We have never asked a man to join, our only requirement being that they have a desire to sing and to attend the rehearsals. This choir - and I have had experience with many of them, both in this country and in Europe - is the most enthusiastic I have ever been connect- ed with. Their desire to sing and their ability to assimilate training in chorus work is one of the most amaz- ing experiences in my musical ca- reer." Mr. Lewis started in choral work while he was a miner in the coal fields of Wales. With the choir will come a re- markable musical prodigy. the boy soprano, Dewi Jones. He is a 12 year old native of Wales, who created a sensation in his Detroit appearance.
