The debates will argue the ques- tion, "Resolved that Michigan men of today lack the resourcefulness and hardiness of their predecessors." Se- lected from a large number of pos- sible topics, the question was design- ed to investigate the "escapades, campus cut ups, and other colorful aspects of a past Michigan." It is the first time that such a debate contest has been carried on, according to Kerner. A silver cup will be awarded to the winning team. Debates Sunday will begin at 3 p.m. The contest will be run as a round robin competition and will be held on successive Sundays. Faculty Judges will rule at all of the meetings. The first competition will be be- tween the following groups; Wenley House vs. Phi Kappa Tau, Lambda Ci Alpha vs. Fletcher Hall, Sigma Chi vs. Sigma Nu, Sigma Alpha Ep- cilon vs. Sigma Phi and Allen Rum- sey House vs. Alpha Nu.

Raphael Isaacs, of the Med- l, School, will give an illustated lecture on the topic "Is Th'e a Jewish Type" at 8 p.m. today in the Hillel Foundation. In his talk, Professor Isaacs will attempt to debunk the view that a definite Jewish type of individual exists as, despite intermarriage, there is a tendency for groups residing to- gether to resemble each other in the course of time and the ancient Jew was described as a tall, blue- eyed blonde. Another illustrated talk will be given by Prof. David Mandlebaum of the anthropology department of the University of Minnesota on "The Jews of Cochin" at 8 p.m. tomorrow.

Psychology Professor Wrong, Squirrel Says Although there has been limited research on the subject, a member of the rodent family is not likely to remember a man, Prof. Walter B. Pillsbury, of the psychology depart- ment, declared in answer to an in- quiry--and unaware that a play be- ing enacted on the Michigan campus is daily disproving his words. The scene is the diagonal. The actors are a discolored squirrel withj a scarred back, and a tall, light- complexioned man on crutches. The phenomenon is the fact that the ro- dent, nicknamed "Old Girl," has rec- ognized the man, even after long lapses of time, over a period of a year, and feeds from his hand. The prologue is an explanation of their acquaintance which occurred last year when a pack of dogs had cornered "Old Girl" and were at- tacking her. Elaborating and criticizing points brought up by Dr. Louis Mann's lec- ture in the series on "The Existencej and Nature of Religion," Dr. Isaac Rabinowitz, director of the Hillel Foundation, led the Siudent Reli- gious Association Forum Monday in Lane Hall. Dr. Mann's conception of the iden- tity of faith and doubt was criticized as an oversimplification. It was con- tended that he had confused entities and processes, and that he had not recognized the lack of a guiding thread behind doubt similar to the one motivating faith. In answer to the question of "Why Be Religious?" Dr. Rabinowitz sug- gested two opinions which Dr. Mann might give: that man cannot help but be religious, and that religion gives an armory of ideas with which mankind can attack the evils beset- ting it. Dr. Rabinowitz Leads SRA Forum Women varsity debaters open their home season today with two Big Ten non-decision contests scheduled with the University of Indiana on the re- newal of the Federal Housing Admin- istration Program at 4 and 7:30 p.m. in the Hussey Room of the League. Jane Krause, '41, and Elizabeth Lightner, '41, will take the affirma- tive side of the question against Coach Robert Huber's team from In- diana in the afternoon contest. Mary Virginia Bush, '41BAd., and Elizabeth M. Shaw, '41, will take the, negative in the evening debate on the propo- sition, "Resolved, That the Federal Housing Administration Program Should Not Be Renewed." Women's debates are sponsored by the League and everyone is invited to attend with no admission being charged. Barbara Newton, '41, and Janet Grace, '42, returned yesterday from the University of Purdue where they were awarded a decision on the nega- tive of the topic in a formal debate Tuesday. Mrs. Frederic 0. Crandall, women's debate coach, accompanied them on the trip. Dean Alice Lloyd, Miss Ethel A. McCormick, social director of women. and Mr. Huber will be guests of the debaters for dinner at the League. Fellowship Discusses New Welfare Projects Assistance to refugees, Jewish- Gentile relations, and public welfare, were three new projects begun last night by the Fellowship of Recon- ciliation. The projects will be taken up at the new Wednesday night weekly action meetings of the Fel- lowship. These meetings will also continue the work started last semester on the Negro problem. Last night's meeting was the first of a series to plan action on Reconciliation projects. Un versiy Departmenfal Problems, Cited By President In Annual Report (This is the second article describing thehighlights of President Ruts"ven's annual report for 1938-1939) President Ruthven announced in his report that a five-year course will be mandatory, beginning next fall, to receive the degree of Bachelor of Architecture. The four-year pro- gram will be withdrawn except for those students now in residence who may elect to follow the older and shorter program. * * * According to Dean Wells I. Bennett, scholarships are the most urgent need in the archi- tecture college. "Progress in ar- chitectural and design education must depend on the quality of the students, and we are badly in need of scholarships in order to attract able students," Dean Bennett explained. Dean C. E. Griffin, of the business administration schools, believes that it will be possible to carry on tlt work in his school effectively without any substantial increase of personnel in the regular faculty, despite in- creased enrollment. Dean Griffin ex- plains that the addition of assist- ants to help the faculty should take care of the extra load. He told Pres- ident Ruthven that the outstanding problem of the business administra- tion school is housing. * * * .. it} -, these, 103 were from institutions1 other than Michigan. In 1939 1 5,594 students attended the sum-1 mer session, compared to 5,771 x in 1938 and 5,110 in 1937. * * * University officials are making a greater effort than ever before to strengthen relations with high schools, Registrar Ira Smith reported. High school principals who have freshmen enrolled in the University are sent a complete report as to the tests given during the Orientation Period, and reports are sent to the principals at the end of the first semester and at the end of the year, giving the scholastic success of their students in the freshman class. * * * Automatic equipment is making the life of the Registrar more happy. Ira Smith told Mr. Ruthven that the Statistical Division has expanded its use of tabulating cards to handle grade reports for students in the literary college, to prepare many of the reports sent high school princi- pals in the state, and to secure copy, for the official student directory. University officials use 40,000 en- velopes to distribute their official publications for a single year. Total expenditure for communication dur- ing 1928-1939 was $1,991.47, mostly for postage. Figures compiled by the Registrar's office for the past eight years show Freyber Speaks To University Club The University of Michigan Club of Flint hald a research meeting af- ter a banquet last night in the Flint Masonic Temple. Prof. Richard H. Freyberg of the department of internal medicine dis- cussed his work in the Rackham Arthritis Research. Prof. Charles W. Good, assistant director of the de- partment of engineering research described current projects in that field. T. Hawley Tapping, general sec- retary of the Alumni Association, also attended. that there is almost no difference in the grades of studuents who enter the University from Michigan high schools and those who come from other states. During 1938-1939 a total of 273 freshmen withdrew from the Uni- versity for one reason or another. Economies was the field of con- centration of 27'7 juniors and seniors during 1938-1939. This was by far the most popular field. History was second with 20e persons concentrating, with. English, Zoology, Political Sci-. ence and Chemistry next in that order. Every new male student in the University was given a blood test for syphilis in 1938, and four cases of "doubtful severity" were discov- ered as the result of the examina- ARROW TIES - SHIRTS - SHORTS featu red at ~IA~~ieJ/8 Ic' STATE STREET AT LIBERTY - --! ww. tion, the University Health reported. Service I I 4 4 United States foreign policy toward nations at war were discussed when Michigan varsity debaters argued for isolation against Rutgers' cash-and- carry policy last night in the Union. William Muehl, '41, and Edgar Clinton, '41, denounced the last war as a war of commercial interests and drew analogies to present conditions which they believed would lead this country into war, while Arthur Talbot and William Gillam of Rutgers said that we went into the last war to "save the world for democracy" and not for economic interests and added that up to now the cash and carry policy had not gotten us into war with European nations.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO A BAD THING!" Music instruction at the University of Michigan is given in five different buildings-none of them adequate either in size or appointments for sufficient classrooms, studios, and practice needs, President Charles A. Sink informed Dr. Ruthven. Conse- quently, new physical equipment is one of the most vital necessities to- day, he said. It takes 596 faculty members to provide instruction at the University summer school.
