Fourteen Win
Scholarships
For Next Year!
Aluinae Council, Marsh,1
Mandlebaum Awards Are
Announced
Winners of fourteen scholarships
were announced yesterday by the
Alumnae Council and Dr. Frank Rob-
bins, assistant to the President.
Dorothy Gies, '36, and Dorothy
Beise, instructor of physical educa-
tion, received the two $500 fellowships
awarded by the Alumnae Council.
Another Alumnae scholarship, $100
awarded to a Cleveland woman at-
tending the University, was won by
Sally Kenny, '38. Miss Gies was
awarded the Lucy Elliott fellowship,
and Miss Beise received the Monroe-
Alumnae Council fellowship.
The Simon Mandelbaum Scholar-
ships were awarded to Herbert R. J.
Grosch, '38; Theodore Hailperin, '39;
and Alfred Hower, '39. Recipients of
the Fanny Ransom Marsh scholar-
ships were Alma Louise Seely, '38;
Harold VosBurgh King, '38; Alice M.
Raiford, '38; and Francesse Ferne
Selter, '38.
John Pitt Marsh Scholarships went
to Harry Martin Purdy, '39; Norman
Teresse Kiell, '39; Kenneth John
Nordstrom, '39; and William H. Spit-
alny, '39.
Three other scholarships of $100
each were announced at a luncheon
in the League which was attended
by alumnae from many parts of the
state of Michigan. The scholarships
are now open to applicants. The
Battle Creek group of Michigan
women is offering a scholarship to a
Battle Creek' woman entering the Uni-
versity next fall; the Marshall group
in the Conference meet. The Wol-
verines piled up 92 points to the
Suckers' 39.
Michigan took firsts in 13 out of
the 15 events, scoring slams in the
mile, half mile, and two mile runs,
and won the mile relay.
Only in the 220-yard dash and the
high jump could the Illini outscore
the visitors. They took all three
places in the latter with Lowell Spur-
geon winning with a lead of six feet
even and Bob Ashley nosed out Bob
Grieve with Allan Smith of Michigan
taking third in the 220. Ashley's
time was 21.9.
The Wolverines showed their usual,
strength in the field events with Big
Bill Watson taking firsts in the
weights, Sam Stoller winning the
broad jump, and Fred Martin the
javelin.
Watson, Stoller, and Bob Osgood
tied for scoring honors with two firsts
apiece. None of the trio had much
competition with the exception of
Stoller who was pushed to a near,
record time of 9.6 seconds in the 100-
yard dash by his arch-rival, Bobby
Grieve, in the feature race of the
afternoon. The time was a new meet
and field record.
Jack Robinson, star Illini hurdler
who beat Osgood indoors, was out
with a sprained ankle and left the
Michigan captain in a class by him-
self in high and low hurdles.
One of the best races of the after-
noon from the standpoint of time was
the half-mile which Clayt Brelsford
won in 1:54.6, a new meet record, de-
spite the fact that no Illinois runner
even finished in the money.

To Reorganize Staffs
The staffs of all the campus pub-
lications will be reorganized in the
interests of efficiency, the elimination
of "dead wood" and the lessening of
the individual burden, which each of
the staff members has to bear, Prof.
Edson Sunderland, secretary of the
Board announced.
The remainder of the staff for
each of the publications will not be
chosen until the reorganization plan
for that staff has been accepted by
the Board, he said, for not until then
will the vacant positions be known,
the Board indicated.
Each of the newly-elected editors
and business managers will be re-
quired by the Board to submit to it
such a plan for reorganization be-
fore the Board's next meeting, which
will take place Wednesday or Thurs-
day.
Each of these plans, Professor
Sunderland announced, must contain

Faculty Men Opposed Swingout
Tradition In Good Old Days
Swingout, a Michigan tradition
that evolved and disappeared within
a brief quarter century, will have
a successful revival and future if
it regains the dignity of former years,
Professor-Emeritus Edwin C. God-
dard of the Law School stated yes-
terday.
The Swingout ceremonies this year
are scheduled for Sunday, May 23.
Innovated about the year Hill Au-
ditorium was built, the custom of
parading through the campus in cap
and gown was introduced after much
opposition from staid faculty mem-I
bers, One particularly dignified old'
professor got up in faculty meeting

that the tradition be discontinued but

hearted and beautiful ceremony in

omore positions. In addition the
Board will require that the specific
duties attached to each of these posi-
tions be listed. Further the nominees
for the senior positions must be in-
cluded by the new incumbents.
Seniors Must Be Approvead
'Before either the reorganization or
the appointment of the seniors to the
staff is carried through, the approval
of the Board must be obtained, The
Board will not ask to pass upon the
junior and sophomore appointees, it
announced.
One of the specifications attached
by the Board to the reorganization of
the business staff of The Daily is the
requirement that the work be divided
so that no junior member of the staff
need spend more than two hours each
day at his duties. According to Jones,
in the past juniors have usually de-
voted more than four hours each day.
