3. Wyatt Calls I
Winant Honest,
Capable Envoy
'By BERNARD DOBER
The important and difficult task of
Ambassador to the Court of St. Jamesf
which is now held by John G. Wi-
nant, is in capable hands, according
to Birchard E. Wyatt, of the businessI
administration school, who served as1
technical advisor to Winant when he
was director of the Social Security
Board.1
An understanding of people and*
ability to cope successfully witht
delicate and difficult problems make3
Winant one of the most qualified
men for that post, Wyatt emphasized.
"Though he doesn't have the bearing
of an English diplomat, his sincerityI
and honesty are sure to win the ap-I
proval and admiration of the Eng-
lish people."
"If we look at Winant's qualities
as a man," Wyatt said, "we find himl
a sincere, honest individual who is
interested in other people to the ex-;
tent that he hardly has time to care
for his own problems. Winant is in-
terested in social and economic
improvement through sound meth-
ods."
While Wyatt was assistant to Wi-
nant in the Social Security Board,
he pointed out that Winant always
knew what was going on in all of the
departments.
"Not only is Winant familiar with
the problems and conditions in this
country, but he also has a fine pic-
ture of the international situation,"
Wyatt declared, "and has the con-
fidence of all parties in both Eng-
land. and the United States."
"That Winant has leadership abili-
ty is shown by the fact that he had
one of the most successful air squad-
rons during the last war," Wyatt
stated, "though the French won't
Testify to his abilities as a flyer."

Legendary Doc Lovell Learned
'Real Tiruth' From Campus Pals

By WILLIAM BAKER
"You remember old Doc Lovell, of
course," the oldster remarked.
Noticing the surprised look on the
face of the sophomore, the old man
settled back in his chair, puffed a
couple of times on the well-browned
Meerschaum, and told his tale-
Not so many years ago old Doc
Lovell. A.W.O.L., T.N.T., D.U.L., etc.,
stovepipe hat, Prince Albert and all,
was the best-known figure on cam-
pus.
The old Doctor died in 1929, just
about twelve years ago come next
month. And for nobody knows how
many years before that he used to
run the magazine stand on State
Street. Once an English cobbler, Doc
was the campus eccentric of the
twenties, an almost legendary fig-~
ure in Ann Arbor.
Talker And Singer
Doc was a great talker and singer.
Practically any evening he'd put, up
his soap box on one end of the Diag-
onal, start regaling the students with
some quaint old song, and soon he
would have quite a sizeable crowd
gathered around him.
The students would toss pennies
at the old fellow in the stove-pipe
lid and Prince Albert, and he would
Spring Here?
SnowtvShovels
ReadyTo Go

assume responsibility for the 'unfore-
seen and unpredictable, and that in-
cludes Michigan weather.)
By DAN BEHERMAN
Spring may be wafting in today on
Ann Arbor's icy blasts, but the prac-
tical city _ government won't be stor-
ing its sanders and snow-shovels un-
til the middle of April.
The city has to employ a regular
crew of 20 men to keep its 90 miles
of streets clear during the winter,
and as many as 50 extra hands are
occasionally hired, according to Har-
old R. Scovill, assistant city engin-
eer.
Sanders Attack Snow
Ann Arbor attacks its snow and ice
with chemicals, sand, plows, and mus-
cle-operated shovels. The usual pro-
cedure at the beginning of a fall is
to send out a sanding crew at the
drop of a flake. For example, sand-
ers were continually operating from
6 p.m. to midnight on the city's streets
during Wednesday night's vernal
blizzard. Other mechanical equip-
ment includes a fleet of four side-
walk-tractor snow brooms, two road
plows, and four under-truck scrapers.
Although the city usually loads its
cleared snow into dump trucks, a
more economical method was dis-
covered this winter. After a heavy
fall, Main Street had been swept
clean except for large piles of snow
along the sidewalk awaiting disposal.
Instead of using dump trucks, the
city put men to work spreading the
snow out into the middle of the street.
The expected thaw came the next
day and automobile traffic soon
'vanquished the snow by "chewing"
it right into the sewers.
Ice Control Difficult
Ice control presents a more diffi-
cult problem. Sand mixed with cal-
cium chloride has proved the most
effective method of combating ice,
and sand barrels are placed along
every dangerous hill to aid traffic,
Even with these precautions, it is not
unusual for a municipal sander to be
sent to assist stalled trucks. All in

Notebook From 1860 Recounts
Advice Offered To Freshmen

By BARBARA JENSWOLD
Traditionally, the first item ac-
quired by a colege freshman is a
quantity of advice-and this was no
less true in 1860, which is the date
assigned to the following excerpt
from a student notebook. It quotes
an introductory message given in the
medical school by Prof. A. B. Palmer,
instructor in materia medica and
therapeutics. Besides the verbal ad-
vice, students of English 2 will please
note the original spelling, phrasing,
and punctuation used by the writer.
Notebook Excerpt,
"Gentlemen, in behalf of the fac-
ulty of the Medical College of the
University, I welcome you to these
halls . . . I see before me familliar
faces, faces of those who have met
with us before, gentlemen I welcome
you back...
"I see before me the faces of stran-
gers, who have not been with us be-
fore. Some no doubt who have left
their homes for the first time, to such
I will say I can remember the feel-
ings I experienced when first I left

home privelages to exchange for the
home privileges to exchange for the
you are not among strangers, there
are some here who are concerned in
your welfare. A few words of advice
may not be inappropriate at this
time.
Room Qualifications
"In regard to the selection of rooms.
You should be careful of crowding
too many in one room. Your rooms
should be as large as possible, well
lighted and well ventilated, and clean
for cleanliness is next to Godliness.

You should be sure to have plenty to
eat, (applause) we are not favorable
to any boarding house speculation
(applause).
"In regards to health it is neces-
sary that you should take exercise in
the open air. Keep your rooms warm
and don't sit in your room after the
fire is extinguished and then lie in
bed shivering half the night, but
burn plenty of wood and do not burn
any alcohol in your systems (ap-
plause) and I think it would be better
for you not to burn to much tobac-
co in your systems (applause). It
will be our duty to endeavor to con-
firm all that you may have heard
favorable to us and to refute what
you may have heard 'unfavorable of
us. And I hope you will apply your-
selves in such a manner as shall be to
your credit and fto the credit of the
University (applause)."
The notebook from which this se-
lection was drawn is now on the
shelves of the Michigan Historical
Collections.
Advisers Still Needed
Open to all interested students who
have not yet submitted applications,
the orientation committee of the
Union will meet with all prospective
freshman advisers in Room 304 of the
Union from 3 to 5 p.m. today, Robert
Shedd, '42 and Robert Sibley, '42E,
announced yesterday.
Petitions for orientation week ad-
visoryships next fall are being , ex-
cepted. Remaining vacancies, on the
orientation staff will be filled by the
selective method of interviewing.

after many years of association with
students on the campus."
He was remarkably lucid on this
evening, too-and even old Doc Lovell
could be lucid. "Reduced to its simp-
lest terms," he went on, "so that even
you can understand it, it's this-
Whatever is, was, or it never could
