Burt, assisted by Richard it will soon be the 50th arniversary of "The Michigan Daily"--August 1940 to be exact. Not that The Daily was always known as "The Michigan Daily." The forerunner of The Daily, the student newspaper from which the present' publication was evolved and whose anniversary will soon be celebrated, first appeared on Sept. 29, 1890 and I was known as "The U. of M. Daily."' This four-column, four-page affair, according to its masthead, was pub- lished by the "U. of M. Independent Association" and one of its top edi- tors significantly enough, was a Ralph Stone, '92L, later to become one of the University of Michigan's famed regents. As indicated by the name of its publishers, this first Daily was strict- ly an organ of the campus' indepen- dent men; and it was not until 1895, five years after the paper's concep- tion, that fraternity men were ad- mitted to the staff. Information Scaty Information, however, on these evolutionary years 'is scanty and not too reliable. The masthead stipulat- ed "Subscription price $2.50 per year, invariably in advance. Subscription may be left at the office of The Daily, Opera House block,-at Sheehan's, at Stofflet's, or with any of the editors." But the location of these early edi- torial offices was constantly chang- ing.

Continues To Grow Financially, The Daily continued to grow stronger-incorporation of the Board becoming necessary in 1919. In 1920 The Daily Official Bulletin was created. The 1920's were boom years for the whole n~ation, and The Daily boomed too-1930 finding the publi- cation firmly entrenched. In that year it was chosen as the best'college paper in the country via the famed "Pacemaker" awards. In that same year, The Daily achieved one of its many "firsts"-it being the first paper of its type to introduce a special Sun- day issue. The Alumnus, with an article head- lined by "Daily Goes Metropolitan," continued to chronicle the growth of The Daily. It was a year later, how- ever, in 1932, that the Dailyman's dream came true: The Daily moved into the beautiful and well-equipped Student Publications building, its present home.'

P. BLAUSTEIN' Way back in the gay twenties, when "flaming youth" was at its height and prohibition was the big- gest problem of the day, "Black Fri- day" was a bloodthirsty affair con- sisting of the vain attempts of both freshmen and sophomores to commit mayhem upon each other. With the coming of the-depression, class warfare on the campus almost disappeared and in 1932 the appear- ance of fifty ravenous freshmen, seaching the streets of Ann Arbor for sophomores on "Black Friday" was the only show of class spirit all year. No wonder a Daily reporter predicted that fall that "Black Fri- day" was at an end. It seemed that the reporter's pre- diction was well-founded when the next three years brought no change in the status of freshman-sophomore relations but the story of the class of '39 is totally different. In 1935, soon after the beginning of the semester, hundreds of fresh- men stormed into George J. Moe's sporting goods store and demanded pots. After exhausting the Ann Ar- bor supply of "dinks" the boys rush- ed into the streets after sophomores. "Black Friday" that year reminded old-timers of the last decade as both classes were the victims of spirited duckings in the Huron River and Union Pool, de-pantsings and, as a witness on the conflict described it, "simple smashes to jaw, lips and eyes." The next day featured the annual "Class Games" consisting of a "cane spree" and a "pillow fight". A Daily reporter witnessing the scene declar- the former a "refined form of slow death." 1936 was very much like ;the ear- lier years of the decade and again people were predicting the end of frosh-soph activities. An attack on the Allen-Rumsay dorms climaxed the 1937 fracas.as fifty sophomores, unrepulsed by fire hoses wielded by the freshmen, were finally driven from the scene of bat- tle by the pleas of President Ruthven. Last year the spirit was continued as the class of '42, emerging victor- ious from their "Black Friday" scrap, marched "pantless" through, the streets attempting in vain to "crash" the shows. They did, how- ever, march into the restaurants and taverns singing various school songs and interrupted the dance at Ithe League. nett, '17 on "Breadth and Specializa- tion" had been entered in a contest of the Association of Eastern College Newspapers. Stacked against edi- torials from Trinity, Cornell, Howard, Dartmouth and Princeton and with Arthur Brisbane as judge, The Daily's editorial was selected as the best and press services throughout the United States carried news of "our" triumph. But The Daily was dissatisfied with its cramped quarters in the Ann Ar- bor Press building. The editors talked of a new building especially built for The Daily; but in that same year the United States issued its declaration of war, and all talk of Daily expansion languished. The editor-in-chief at this period drew an annual salary of about $1,- Black, White, Tearose T I ooo- ' hone 2-4411 .; MAIN dt LIBERTY P History Of Defense' Methods UsedBy Netherlands Traced da- th- og- in re- :icy. iasoline Corpora- in chemical en- ofer 0o u$' Dr. Siney Finds Exanple Of Opening Dikes Back In 16thCentury Battle By HOWARD A. GOLDMAN The various defense measures be- ing taken by the Netherlands have been used, of necessity, numerous times in the history of the tiny state, Dr. Marion Siney of the history de- partment observed yesterday in an interview. Holland's famous "dike defense," of course, is the most potent measure, and examples of its use date back at least to the 16th century during the war for independence against Spain, she explained. At that time, she added, lowlands were flooded to al- low ships from the North Sea to relieve Leyden from its famous seige. "Open the dikes" again became the rallying cry around which William of Orange was able to resist the in- vasion of Louis the Fourteenth of France a century later, she pointed out. Dr. Siney observed that some measures now being taken have strik- ing precedent in the World War. For example she pointed out the numerous controversies during -;the World War over Dutch action re- garding belligerent aircraft flying over its territory. Lightships along Holland's northern coast are being called in, she added, just as they were in the World War. During the last war, Dr. Siney ex- plained, the Dutch government made several declarations of a "state of seige" along its entire frontier, to enable authorities to take extreme measures. In the case of present hos- tilities, she added, similar executive orders have been necessary to take adequate defensive steps. Dr. Siney also pointed out that Germany is apparently asking for naval and air bases in northern Holland, in the very regions declared in a "state of seige" in the last war. Germany has asked the Nether- lands to take a firm stand against British control of Dutch import trade, as occurred in the World War, Dr. Siney observed. At that time, she explained, Britain negotiated with a private concern, the Netherlands Overseas Trust, to obtain, necessary control of godos entering Holland, possibly meant for re-shipment to Germany. This Trust, however, was liquidated in 1920, she added, and no similar organization has since been chartered by the government. for PRE-THANKSGIVING National OUR NEWEST ly Advertised " .
