THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 13, 1940 '1 School Heads SInterview Former Pupils Principals And Freshmen To Confer At Rackhlam Building On Thursday Plans are now complete for the 14th annual Principal-Freshman Conference, which is to be held Thursday at the Rackham Building and the League, it was announced byt the Registrar's Office today. Ninety-seven high schools from four states and seven junior colleges from the state of Michigan will send 175 delegates to the conference. Twelve representatives from other colleges in Michigan have also been invited to attend. Approximately 675 freshmen will be interviewed by their former high school principals during the course of the morning on the second floor of the Rackham Building. Following this, a luncheon will be held in the League ballroom for the secondary school representatives and members of the University faculty who have come into contact with any of the freshmen this semester. The Principal-Freshman Confer- ence has a three-fold purpose: 1) To benefit the students of the Uni- versity who may be having difficulty with academic work; 2) To help the secondary schools so that they may better prepare students who will later enroll at the University; and 3) to aid the University itself in dis- covering how better to orient incom- ing students. ' Concluding the day's activities will be a special program at the League, in which high school teachers, Uni- versity faculty members and some University students will participate. The program will be in the form of a panel discussion, "Pre-College Guidance." q_- Link Training, Begins Monday 34 Registrants In Course, Professor Conlon Says Prof; Emerson W. Conlon of the aeronautical engineering department announced yesterday that 34 students had registered for 10 hours of "link training" last week and would begin work Monday. All of the students who applied plan to take courses offered by the Civil Aeronautics Authority next sem- ester and are required to take approx- imately one hour of "link" work per week this winter after passing a phy- sical examination. The "link trainer" consists of a small machine resembling an air- plane mounted on a pedestal which reacts just like a real plane to its controls. The training is being given at the request of the National Re- search Council which is desirous of learing how useful it is in learning actual contact flying. A grant of $5,500, given to Prof. Edward B. Greene of the psychology department by the National Research Council to make various studies with students working on the "link train- er" was accepted yesterday by the Board of Regents. I We Usk FRESH CREAM in all of the ICE CREAM That Goes Into Our Rigor Mortis, Renowned Ghoul, Is Dug Up For Congress Dance By DAVID LACHENBRUCH u "Don't kid yerself, bub$-deathl never takes a holiday!" That was the general outcome of an interview with a most unusual person--named Rigor Mortis-in the office of Congress, Independent Men's Association, yesterday. Mortis, a ghoul by profession, is working with William Rockwell, '41, president of Congress, and Dick Coe, '42E, social chairman, on plans for the Congressional Fling, Congress' annual dance, December 6, at whichl Mortis will officiate. This year's Fling will be known as "Coffin Capers" and will be entirely under the personal supervision of Mortis, who has toured the nation's finest cemeteries. Starting his career in .a small me- morial plot in Mussent Point, Iowa, Rigor Mortis has worked his way up 500 Freshmen Prepare 'Black Friday'_Flans A hungry hoard of more than 500 bloodthirsty freshmen are expected to meet at 7:30 p.m. today in the Natural Science Auditorium to elect a class captain and make plans for "Black Friday," annual date of war- fare between the underclassmen. At 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the same place a meeting will be held by members of the Class of '43 devoted to the same purpose. Traditionally "Black Friday" , is "pot day." Up until that evening, which will be Nov. 22 this year, the freshmen are supposed to wear pots but are allowed to burn them if vic- torious in the interclass battle. If the sophomores win, however, the neophytes are required to keep wear- ing "dinks" until the end of the first semester. This year for the first time there will be no class games on the day following "Black Friday." In past years members of both classes met on "The Saturday" for a greased flagpole contest, "cane spree," pil- 'ow fight and the like. Robert Samuels, '42, and Jack Sto- ver, '42, will chair the freshman aWgl sophomore meetings respectively, assisted by Gerald Schaflander, '42, Harold Wilson, '42, and Gerald Hew- itt, '42. Fairbanks Series To End Sunday fr until he has fulfilled the ambition of all truly great ghouls-to operate at the Woodlawn Cemetery in New York City. Mortis got his start when he in- vaded the sanctity of his father's grave to recover a can of bedbug poison which had been buried with his parent by mistake. "It was sol much fun," he explained, "that right then and there I decided to become a pro." When asked the details of the com- ing Coffin Capers, he explained in quavering tones, "We're gonna drape the Union Ballroom with black crepe. In the center of the room will be a large, ample plush casket-and as to the contents-come and see for your- self." "Why not join the morbid mob- bring your ghoul friend-and come to Congress' Coffin Capers, December 6. I'll be there-as murderer of cere- monies-and Bill Sawyer's orches- tra will warm the chilly atmosphere," he gurgled. "Follow the ghoulish gang," he concluded, "to the Congressional Fling. Come and laugh yourself to death!" Burks Will Address Graduate Luncheon Arthur W.
