HIGAN p Assists' Students, y Drive ' Help Studies{ Balinese Cremation Is Thrilling To World-Traveling Daily Man By WILLIAM NEWTON1 Seven months spent traveling around the world brought me no more interesting sight than a Balinese cre-I e mation. The surprising hilarity of everyone connected with the cere- mony was explained by the fact that the Balinese religion-a mixture of Buddhism, Hinduism and Moham- medanism-affirms that one's soul cannot go to heaven until his body has been 'destroyed by fire. I The particular cremation which I witnessed was that of the chief of a minor village, and the poor fellow's soul had been wandering about in S Ldents have been ampus to continue ie Ann Arbor Jew- ecording to Betty president of the have been award- 1us committee and be in the United s Schaffer, one of now in England. lents who have al- Michigan are Hans as, Dr. Erich Hus- tl.

This is the largest solicitation mail- ing list ever covered in the history of the alumni organization, Tapping said. The list includes every living alumnus in the United States, except those in Ann Arbor. The Michigan Alumnus" this year features a new cover motif and a pie- ture page of campus activities. The feature, "Who's Who in the Alumni University," which has outlined the careers of more than 1,000 alumni in over 15 years, has been relegated to the back of the magazine: space haunting people for more than three years. The people of his village had taken that long to accumulate the amount of money to cover the high cost of conducting what they termed a "number-one gooda kind" cremation. Cremation costs are high in Bali, I was told, since great papier- mache figures must be bought and at least 150 mourners hired. Detour Fools Spirits The ceremony lasted at least three hours, as theiprocession went many miles out of its way en route- to the burning grounds. This, I was told, was to fool the evil spirits who al- ways do their best to keep any soul from getting to heaven. The rema ins of the deceased were finally placed if FOU lasses ied Directory D --1 LAUNDERING-9 in black AUNDRY - 2-1044. Sox darned. 2565 -kCareful work at low prices. - 2565.
