THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Michigan Grcduates Steal Show
At Annual Gridiron Club Dinner,
and lyrically, to tear the men who
make the news apart.
Before the Blitzkrieg of satire be-
gan, however, the University of
Michigan had its inning. As 14 presi-
dential possibilities and one Silent
One sat on the edges of their seats,
t the U.S. Marine Band swept into
"The Victors," Michigan's football
I march. The banquet chairman in-
troduced President Ruthven and Don=
ald Sterling, president of the Ameri-
can Society of Newspaper Editors
and a University alumnus.
Points To Presidents
Then the chairman announced
- that he was "ready to show the man
- who is to be President." This man,
he said as the 14 candidates leaned
forward, had graduated from the
1 University of Michigan. Herewith a
spotlight fell upon Senator Burton
K. Wheeler, '05, Montana's Demo-
cratic dark-horse.
But the chairman wouldn't stop.
s He added that the President "must
have been born in Michigan besides."
e The spotlight found New York Dis-
J trict Attorney Thomas Dewey, '23.
' "Besides being a graduate of the
University of Michigan and having
been born in Michigan, this man must
be prominent in national affairs,"
the announcer described.
Murphy Spotlighted
Spotlight on Supreme Court Jus-
tice Frank Murphy, 14. The an-
nouncer still wasn't satisfied. "I
want an alumnus of the University
of Michigan, born in Grand Rapids
and prominent in national affairs,"
- he continued. Spotlight on Senator
. Arthur H. Vandenberg, '02. Finally
e it flashed on President Roosevelt,
1 who said, "Wait a minute. You can't
- fool me. The man you are talking
s about is Mark Foote, the new presi-
n dent of the Gridiron Club."
y Fourteen presidential candidates
s settled back in their chairs. As
Mark Foote, '03, Washington cor-
f respondent for the Booth newspapers,
- arose to take the Gridiron gavel the
o man who may be fifteenth whis-
y pered something to him.
e "That's a good idea, Mr. President,"
y Foote replied. "I won't say anything
- now about not taking another term."

Perspectives
Sets Deadline
ForApril 23
The deadline for submission of
manuscripts for the fourth issue of
Perspectives will be Thursday, April
23, according to James Allen, '40
and Harvey Swados, '40, co-editors.
In an effort to divert some of the
creative writing done over the vaca-
tion period into the pages of the
magazine, the editors explained yes-
terday the relationship between the
Hopwood contest and the magazine.
There is a belief among campus writ-
ers, Co-editor Allen observed, that
publication of literary material in
the magazine disqualifies it for en-
trance in the Hopwood competition.
Although there are many rules,
this isn't one of them, Allen said.
Rule number 12 of the Hopwood
handbook states: "No manuscript or
part of a manuscript that has been
published in a medium other than
a college magazine or a college news-
paper shall be eligible in any con-
test."
Types of manuscripts wante4 are
short stories, short plays, radio skits,
poetry, essays or book reviews. Manu-
scripts may be left at the English or
engineering English offices or at the
Student Publications Building.
Contributions may also be made to
the following editors: Allen and Swa-
dos, co-editors; James Green, '40,
poetry; David Spongler, '40, essay;
Hervie Haufler, '41, fiction; or Sey-
mour Pardell, '41, publications man-
ager.
NBC Stars To Sing
Here Tomorrow
Ranked as one of the greatest vocal
attractions on the air or; concert
stage, the Southernaires, famous NBC
quartet, will appear at 8:30 p.m. to-
morrow in the Ann Arbor High
School auditorium under the auspices
of the Second Baptist Church.
This quartet, which receives many
complaints from pastors unable to
fill their pews because the congre-
gations stay at home to listen to
the Southernaires' Sunday morning
broadcasts, has thrilled audiences for
10 years.
