GoodWill Fund Gives Students Fmancial Help Daily Assists Annually; Aid In Form Of Gifts Often Paid Back Later As the last resort of students fac- ing a financial emergency, the Good Will Fund has become a firmly es- tablished campus institution. Any man or woman enrolled in the Uni- versity may go to Alice C. Lloyd, Dean of Women, and' Joseph A. Bursley, Dean of Students, respec- tively, for aid. Money is given in the form of a gift, but many students pay it back when they find themseles in the position to do so, according to Dean Bursley. Letters are continually coming in from all parts of the coun- try from former students who re- ceived gifts, and who wish to help others by returning the money. Aids Ill Students Cases most often requiring assis- tance are those of students in ill health who have been working their way through school entirely by their own efforts, Dean Bursley stated. Just before final examinations the number of requests increase, as many find that they cannot work for board waiting on tables, work for room do- ing housework and perhaps keep up with the NYA job at the same time. Students may ask aid for needy ac- quaintances. Contributions to the Good Will fund are made annualy by the Daily through its Goodfellow edition, and from J-Hop and other social affairs' profits. Honor societies are also reg- ular donors, and large gifts are made occasionally by alumni. A steady source of contributions are the un- dergraduates themselves. The fund was first proposed by p small group of students and faculty members in December, 1932. John H. Huss, vice-president of the Union in that year, acted as chairman of a committee appointed by President Alexander G. Ruthven to undertake the venture. Daily Cooperated The Daily, cooperating with the committee, publicized its requests for contributions of food, clothes, money and jobs. A concerted drive to raise $10,000 was started in January, 1933, and campus support was realized imme- diately with $1,000 being raised the first week. Opposition to the movement arose for a short time when a student pur- porting to represent the National Student League denounced the fund and proposed state aid instead. The flood of criticism after his outburst, however, squelched his group and strengthened the Good Will Fund movement.

The photo was transmitted from London to New York by radio. College Students Believe U.S. Can Stay Out Of Foreigon War "Isolation for the United States" will be the topic for varsity Big-Ten debaters next semester, Arthur Se- cord, men's debate coach, announced yesterday. Men will start working on the question right after vacation, Mr. Secord said, and ;the squad will be cut at the beginning of the second semester when concentration on the specific contests start. Question In Full The question in full is, "Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Adopt a Policy of Strict Military and Economic Isolation Toward All Na- tions Not in the Western Hemisphere Which Are Involved in Armed Inter- national or Civil Conflict." A contest with Rutgers on an un- determined question will be arranged for March. Six men took part in the four Big Ten contests held this semester on government ownership of the rail- roads. For the first two, Michigan's negative squad of William Muehl, '41, and Arthur Biggins, '42, travelled to the University of Illinois and Ohio State for contests Nov. 15 and 17, respectively. Home Debaters In the home debates, Karl Olson, '40, and E. Erwin Bowers, '41, took the affirmative against a University of Illinois team Nov. 29, and Edgar Clinton, '41, and John Huston met a squad from Northwestern University Dec. 6. Biggins and Muehl took the nega- tive against a Michigan State team here early in October in a demon- stration contest for debaters and coaches in the Michigan High School Forensic Association. International Center Meets Santa Claus Santa Claus came to the Inter- national Center 16st night to preview' for the University's foreign students a few of this country's Christmas customs. The old gentleman appeared at the Center's annual Christmas party as the headliner of a gala program that included the exchange of gifts, a Christmas tree and the hearty singing of Yuletide carols by those assembled. Completing the program was *a group of songs presented by a quartet from the Madrigal Society. A Northwestern University scien tific survey revealed that 44 per cent of the student body 'has halitosis.

Also, hand-in-hand with the na- tion's apparent determination not to be involved, a slight majority of the collegians have voted in favor of re- quiring a referendum of the people before Congress could draft men to fight abroad. These are the latest findings of the Student Opinion Surveys, which weekly report campus sentiment for The Daily and the other leading col- lege newspapers of the nation. These polls are all taken by means of a carefully-selected cross section that1 extends from Main to California, Washington to Florida. To the question, "Do you believe the United States can stay out of the present European war?" students an- swered: Yes ................68 per cent No................32 per cent Although this issue is pure specula- tion, it is important to know this opinion in order to get an insight in- to the war patterns of the average college youth's mind. The rank and file of voters is not so sure that the U.S. can steer clear, for in other polls only 54 per cent have held this view.- It will be of interest to note in subse- quent surveys the effect here of the, Russian attack on Finland, since these polls were made before the Red Army began its activities. Section-by-section votes in the stu-, dent poll were: Believing the U.S. can stay out of war--New England, 61 per. cent; Middle Atlantic, 70; East Cen- tral, 65; West Central, 70; South 70; Far West, 64. "Should the Constitution be3 changed to require a national vote of, the people before Congress could draft men to fight overseas?" inter- viewers for the Surveys asked hun- dreds of students. They divided al- most evenly, only 53 per cent ap- proving. Interesting differences were noted among students of different ages, upperclassmen reversing themselves entirely: A Draft Per Cent Referendum? Yes No Freshmen ..............60 40 Sophomores ............52 48 Juniors ................46 54 Seniors, Graduates .....49 51 By section, New Englanders were the only ones against a national vote, East Central students divided 50-50, and all others approving by narrow margins.

Dial 3599 A Merry Christmas anda Happy New Year *i Now 'candidate for the Republican nomination for president in 1940, Thomas E. Dewey, '23, made his first appearance in the national limelight in the 15th annual Michigan Union Opera. Playing Patrick O'Dare, a country gentlemen in the musical comedy "Top O' Th' Mornin'," Dewey was mentioned in The Daily's review of the show because he ". . . also dis- played a good set of vocal cords." The song "Satan Put A Devil in the Irish," which he put over accompanied by a clogging bevy of masculine chorus girls, was acclaimed as the best 'hot song' of the musical. According to Prof. Paul M. Cun- cannon, of the political .science de- partment, Dewey's fine baritone voice may be one of the factors that will make Republicans consider him for presidential timber. His "good set of vocal chords" are an asset on the speaker's platform. "Top O' Th' Mornin'," which opened March 29, 1920, and ran for five days at the Whitney Theatre, had the distinction of having the best musical score and of being the most professional opera ever presented up to that time. Its setting was laid in Limerick, Ireland, and the story dealt with the trials and errors of an Irish colleen. The plot-"just enough to hang songs and dances on"-gave op- portunity to University men to cavort as butterflies, fairies and fawns. So successful was the opera that it was able to have the longest road trip in its history.- A special train CROQUIGNOLE END CURLS with three Pullman cars transported the cast, orchestra, committeemen, stage assistants and a faculty repre- sentative to eight Michigan cities in eight days at a= cost of more than $3,- 600. The comedy was directed by E. Mortimer Shuter. In charge of scenery construction was Carl Bromel, a former retoucher of Ziegfield Follies' settings. Costumes were ordered from a Philadelphia store that sent rep- resentatives out to measure the cast. A publishing house printed copies of the 12 Irish songs from the show, and these were put on sale in Ann Arbor before the opening night. The combination of superior prep- aration and near-professional acting evoked much campus praise. Thomas Dewey, as one of the principal play- ers, came in for his share in the fol- lowing Daily declaration: "The prin- cipals shout right out without seem- ing to mind how wide open their mouths are." tion 4 11 wish to thank the advertisers in this p per for their splendid coopera- ..... 4 .........
