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." DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN_ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1940 ' VOL. L.

Drink More Milk Year-Round 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.
