Last Year's Class Fracas Climaxed By Freshman Raid On Union, League On the night of Oct. 29, 1938, the class of 1942 wreaked freshman ven- geance on their erstwhile colleagues, the sophomores, and turned the class of '41 (at least those hardy enough to venture out that fateful night)- in- to the pantless wonders. It was the night of the annual freshman-sophomore battle, t h e night that Ann Arbor householders lock their doors and windows, that upperclassmen retire discreetly to their rooms, that the Ann Arbor police force closes its eyes to the half- clad gangs that roam from one end of town to the other looking for blood and pants-in, short, "Black Friday." On the night of Oct. 29 last year 1,500 freshmen and i sophomores (mostly freshmen-the sophomores seldom seem enthusiastic about "Black Friday?') gathered Piround campus to take part in the tradi- tional de-panting exercises. The sophomores held sway for the first five minutes of the fracas that. lasted from 8 to 12 p.m., but were swamped by a howling hoard of freshmen that came streaking across the campus fromeWashtenaw Ave. where they had been trying to. rout sophomores out of fraternity houses. They clashed behind Alumni Me- morial Hall and after completely outnumbering the pantless sopho- mores, the freshmen made their' first attempt to "crash" the Union, a tra- ditional maneuver. However, Fred Luebke, '39, presi- dent of the Men's Council, dampened their ardor somewhat by appearing in the Union door with a baseballmbat and threatening to tonk the first man who rushed the door. The appear- ance of a few bedraggled sophomores sent the mob surging back to Alumni Memorial Hall for a short fracas. and. left Luebke temporarily holding the fort. So the gang turned its attention, after several minor scuffles, to the League, and since none of the ladies who haunt the undergraduate offices saw fit to appear in the door with a baseball bat, they had little diffi- culty in forcing their way into the ballroom. Charlie Zwick provedas much the diplomat as Luebke the, soldier and by playing the "Victors" and giving the freshmen a fight talk he coaxed them out of the League and they sought other battlefields. Sweeping back to the Union, the mob, enraged by the jeering of on- lookers, swept the guardian of the Union, baseball bat and all, off his feet, and succeeded in ducking seven sophomores in the Union pooL That marked the end of hostilities for the evening. Two minor injuries were reported by the Health Service, but the sophomores' pride sustained an injury which remains the lot of this year's sophomores to heal. Michigan NYA Places 244 (Special to The Daily) LANSING, Sept. 19.-Once again a record number of youth left the Michigan National Youth Adminis- tration rolls for employment in priv- ate industry as 244 found jobs dur- ing August, according to Orin W. Kaye, State Youth Administrator. Strikers Hold Six U.S. Vessels; FDIIMay Act Reports Say President Will Order Maritime Commission Takeover NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-(iP)-Amid unverified reports of possible presi-, dential intervention, striking na-. tional Maritime Union seamen still held six American ships in port to- day as stranded Americans clamored from across the Atlantic for' passage home from Europe's war zones. The report that President Roose- velt might order the Maritime Com- mission to take over the ships, ont the declaration of an emergency, cir- culated along the water front, but spokesmen of both the commission and of the United States Lines dis- counted that possibility. As the strike for bonuses, insur- ance, increased ship personnel and continuance of wages if crews might be interned moved toward its fourth day, these were the developments: Sixty-nine British seamen brought here to man two oil tankers refused to sail unless they received $5,000 insurance and wages equivalent to those paid American sailors. Members of the National Maritime Union, (CIO) said that they would welcome presidential intervention. A possibility was seen that two other ships being readied for Euro- pean voyages, and three vessels due within the next two days, might be- come involved in the strike, if it pon- tinues. A hearing for 12 striking seamen tomorrow, to determine if the strike warrants suspension of their sea- mens' certificates, was prepared by Capt. George Fried, supervising in- spector of the Bureau of Marine In- spection and Navigation. Seventy seamen of the strike- bound United States Lines' American Trader were signed off, leaving the way open for a new crew to be signed on. The strike started Friday when crews of the American Trader and the American Traveler refused to toss off lines.

Writers, musicians, artists-all are ranked scores deep in the roster of notables who have appeared here. During the school year of 1938-39, no less than five famous authors spoke to Ann Arbor audiences- These include: Lloyd C. Douglas, author of "Magnificent Obsession" and other novels, who addressed the Michigan Kiwanis Convention last October; Alexander Woollcott, "The Town Crier," with "While Rome Burns" and the "Woollcott Readers" to his credit, who lectured on the Orator- ical Series; poet Louis Untermeyer, who spent two weeks here lecturing and meeting students informally in class sessions; Bertrand Lord Rus- sell, English author and thinker, whose denial of the existence of God aroused strong religious controver- sies on campus last spring; and Carl van Doren, author of "Biography of Benjamin Franklin," who gave last year's Hopwood lecture. Renowned Authors Other writers who have visited here in the past include: Thomas Mann, Christopher Morley, Max Eastman, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Dr. Victor G. Heiser. The Choral Union Series and May, Festival annually draw the greatest names of the musical world. Last year's Choral Union brought such musical pacemakers as Bartlett and Robertson, piano duo, the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Serge Koussevitzky and the Roth String Quartet. Lawrence Tibbett made his fifth trip to Ann Arbor; Jose Iturbi his third. Yehudi Menu- hin, child prodigy grown into mature genius, returned after two years of retirement. List the greatest musical leaders of the era and you will find most of their names on Ann Arbor's register. Paderewski, Martinelli, Heifetz, Krei- sler, Rachmaninoff, Flagstad, Galli Curci-all have appeared during Ann Arbor's musical festivals. Swnig Here Too The lighter side of music has its representatives in numerous bands and orchestras, ranging from slow and sweet to hot and fast. Benny Goodman has played to dances here; so has Kay Kyser (1938 J-Hop), Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Count Basie and Henry "Hot Lips" Busse (1939 J-Hop), Fletcher Henderson, Jimmy Lunceford, Red Nichols. The aces of swing, and the aces of jazz before them, have set the tempo for innumerable Michigan dances. Politically, Ann Arbor has at- tracted- some of' the most influential statesmen of the day. Last spring Eduard Benes, ex-president of Czech- oslovakia, whose role in Europe was one of the most important, as well as, the most tragic, during the Munich crisis, expressed to a local audience his views on the march of events that wiped his country off the map. Four of the leading presidential possibilities for 1940 have attended the University. They include: Thom- as Dewey, New York's "crime buster," Attorney General Frank Murphy, Senator Arthur It. Vandenberg of' Michigan and Senator Burton Wheel- er of Montana. New York City's Mayor La Guardia' has visited here recently, as has Gov- ernor Horner of Illinois- Norman Thomas, three times the presidential candidate of the Socialist party, spoke here last March. 4, on "Students, Democracy and War."

Windows in many homes and factories had been painted blue. Volupteers were dig- ging trenches on 'the site of the 1937 International Exposition. The av- ' erage Frenchman appeared worried, but not frightened by the prospect of tries, she reported, appeared entirely normal. The group reached London in early August, and saw there the most in- tense war preparations. Trenches were dug in Hyde Park, where anti- aircraft . batteries were also located. The party was thrilled by a practice blackout, during which the famous "blimp barrage," searching beacons and anti-aircraft gunners attempted to foil a sham air raid. Londoners volunteered for ambu. lance squads, de -. contamination squads and other emergency groups.

All men students had oint average of 2.49, while ig in dormitories average war. Gas masks were for sale in Berne, the capital of Switzerland, Miss Crow reported, and orders for sandbags were being filled in Geneva, seat of the League of Nations. Beyond these signs, she added, the country ap- peared calm and "very neutral. During the party's short ' stay in northern Italy, Miss Crow saw a few' soldiers on railroad trains, anti heard that army maneuvers were being held in Trent. However that entire re- gion was more concerned with happy vacationers, she said, than with war. Heavy troop movements, both on trains and in city streets, indicated Germany's preparation for war. Every other man in the street was in uni- form. Yet, while in Munich, Miss Crow saw an art festival, the big- gest event in the year, in progress. The German people did not expect war, she said, but they showed a piti- ful lack of knowledge of what was going on They are fanatically de- voted to Hitler, she added. In Hungary, the party heard opin- ions that the Magyars were not. in sympathy with the Reich, although they were "playing ball" with Hitler. A sealed train carried the party across the dismantled Czech state. From 'all appearances, Miss Crow ob- served, Bohemia's borders are being closed to all who wish to enter or leave.
