International
.Art Collection
To Show Here
The collection of paintings repre-
senting "contemporary art in 79
countries" which appeared in the ex-
hibit of the International Business
Machines Corporation at the Golden
Gate International Exposition in San
Francisco will be shown from Dec.
10 through Dec. 20 in the Rackham
Building. 5
The idea of collecting a group of
this sort was first conceived by Thom-
as J. Watson, president of the corpor-
ation in the autumn of 1937. It was
his idea that this would make an in-
teresting and important collection
from the viewpoint of the business
man and the artist.
Representatives of the company
in seventy-nine countries were in-
structed to ask leading art authori-
ties to select the contemporary artists
and paintings typical in their coun-
tries. From these, two collections
were made; one to appear at the San
Francisco Fair and the other at the
New York World's Fair.
Now that both fairs are over, the
exhibits are being sent from city to
city in the United States and to vari-
ous countries of the world. The exhibit
will come to Ann Arbor after a show-
ing in Youngstown, 0., and will go
to Milwaukee, Wis., after it leaves
here. This is the only appearance
in this region.
Paton Will Speak
To Engine Society
Clyde Paton, chief engineer and re-
search head of the Packard Motor
Co., will address a meeting of the
student branch of the Society of Auto-
motive Engineers at 7:30 p.m. today
in the Rackham Amphitheatre speak-
ing on "Problems Encountered in In-
dustry," Dudley Scrogin, '41E, presi-
dent, announced yesterday.
Previous to the meeting, the group
will have a dinner at 6 p.m. in the
Union with Mr. Paton. This will be
restricted to members only. All en-
gineers are invited to the meeting,
however, after which refreshments
will be served.
1I
Christmas Party for Ann Arbor chil-
dren, which will be given at 4:15 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 13, in Hill Auditorium.
The holiday season will open for at
least 5,000 school children with this
party, offering them an afternoon of
entertainment and refreshments in-
tended to be especially welcome to the
underprivileged boys and girls, ac-
cording to James Harrison, '41, Coun-
cil president.
Begun in 1938, the party has be-
come a traditional part of the Coun-
cil's yearly program. Every "Greek"
at the University, whose fraternity is
represented in the Council, takes
part in the Party, although its suc-
cess is dependent in great measure
upon aid by local merchants, Harri-
son continued.
The merchants contributed favors,
refreshments and helped with enter-,
tainment last year and in 1938. Com-.
mittes of Council staff members have
begun soliciting their assistance, and
Harrison believes that their cooper-
ation will make possible "a bigger
and better party than ever before."
Alpha Nit To Debate

Today On Fashion
Zeta Phi Eta, women's honorary
speech society, will meet Alpha Nu,
men's forensic group in their tradi-
tional debate at 7:30 p.m. today in

tion, "Resolved: That Michigan wo-
men are more slaves to fashion than

be composed of Merle Webb, '42, Ger-
ry Schaflander, '42, and George Man-
ikoff, '41.
The negative will be .composed of
Adelaide Carter, '42, Mildred Ward.
'41, and Alvira Sata, '41. They will

question.

"enry Moser of the speech depart-
ment and Mrs. Richard Hadley.
The annual debate is a tradition of
the two speech groups numbered
among the first on Mid-Western cam-
puses. Novel prizes sand humorous
forensic activity have been custom-
ary at their yearly meeting

NR OTC Officer
Aided In Raising
Sunken 'Squalus'
1
The famous Squalus disaster of
1939 was more than a mere news-
paper story to one member of the
faculty, Lieut. R. E. Palmer of the
Naval Reserve Officers' Training
Corps.
Lieutenant Palmer was commander
of the submarine S-29 at that time
stationed in the same area as the ill-
fated Squalus and his was one of
the ships which aided the Falcon
in the work of raising that sub-
merged vessel.
Later, in order to determine whe-
ther the hull of the S-29 was suffi-
ciently strong to warrant keeping her
in commission, the ship was sent
down 214 $ feet, in the place the
Squalus was destroyed.
Following the tradition of the mili-
tary man on duty, Lieutenant Palmer
would make no comment on the
events that took place and took great
pains in minimizing the part he
played in the rescue.
