iAiLr Err THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUES DAT, S :PTEMtBF 3,000_Students First Residence Hall Was Built On Campus 100 Years Ago Twelve Houses Will Be Opened This Fall; Mason Hall Was First Dormitory To Be Constructed Here With the r-opening of the 12 men and women's dormitories for student occupancy this week, the University system of residence halls will mark its one hundredth anniversary. Mason Hall, built in 1841 for the use of men students, was constructed at a cost of $16,000, a low figure when compared with the approximately $1,000,000 that was expended on Stockwell Hall, newest dormitory on campus. In 1850, two more residence halls were built, but they proved un- successful and were closed. It was not until 1870, when women were first admitted as students in the University, that the problem of housing became important. Since that time, eight >- Are Housed In University Dormitories Stockwell Hall, Newest Women's Dorm Art Cinema League Will Open. 1941 Series With Soviet Movie With the promise of a fuller r.ore entertaining season than+ before, the Art Cinema League pn its 1941-42 series Oct. 11 and. ever will and i t S dormitories for women and four for men have been built. Martha Cook Building, a privately endowed residence hall, was com- pleted and opened for occupancy by 117 upperclass women in 1916. Helen Newberry and Betsy Barbour were also opened at that time, each hous- ig appriximately 80 girls. Largest Women's Dorm Mosher-Jordan, largest women's dormitory in the country, was com- pleted in 1934. It is composed of two separate units, each having its own dining and living roms. Jordan Hall, named after former De9n of Women Myra B. Jordan, houses only fresh- men; while Mosher Hall, so-called in honor of Fliza M. Mosher, also a for- mer Dean of Women here, is used ex-' clusively by upperolass women and graduate students. Madelon Louisa Stockwell Hall, opened in February of 1940, is the ultimate in dormitory architecture, accommodating 388 wo- men in its two five-story wings. Adelia Cheever House, run on the cooperative system, and University and Alumnae Houses for graduate students' complete the University dorm facilities for women. Accommodates 950 Fourhdomitory systems, with a total of 14 houses, make up the housing facilities for male students. The West Quadrangle, accommodating a total of 950 residents, was built in the lat- ter part of the last decade. Each of its eight houses - Allen-Rumsey, Wenley, Winchell, Lloyd, Chicago, Williams, Michigan and Adams-has its own house organization, including a representative on the West Quad- rangle Council. Another residence group is the East Quadrangle, a system of four houses with facilities for 400 students. Al- though there are a few graduate stu- dents in.Hinsdale House, most of the residents of the Quad are undergrad- uates-over half 'of them freshmen. This dorm (the other three houses are Green, Prescott and Tyler) is a Scholarships Are Available To Engineers Fellowships, Loan Funds Reward Ability, Need; Requirements Listed Virtue and hard work alike are their own reward, but with a number of scholarships available, the hard- working engineering student need not rely entirely on his own hard work as an award. Available to students who are American citizens, partially or whol- ly self-supporting, and who have completed a minimum of 45 hours of work at the University are the Simon Mandlebaum Scholarships, estab- lished in 1929 by the late Mary S. father, Simon Mandlebaum. One of the oldest of the scholar- ship awards is the Cornelius Dono- van Scholarship which was estab- lished in 1922 as an award to meri- torious senior engineering students who are working their way through college. Other requirements for eligibility are citizenship, partial or whole self-support, and a minimum of 45 hours at the University. Freshmen Receive Awards Open to frehman and sophomore students are the Robert Campbell Gemmell Memorial Scholarships, founded in 1926 by Mrs. Lillian Gem- mell Boal in memory of her brother. Eligibility requires citizenship, par- tial or entire self-support, and a minimum of 15 hours of credit at the University. Available to the same qualifications is the Harriet Eveleen Hunt Scholar- ship, established in 1937 by Ormond E. Hunt as a memorial to his mother. Aeronautics Recognized Aeronautical engineers may take advantage of a special scholarship offer, the -Frank Sheehan Scholar- ship in Aeronautics, founded in 1929 by Mildred Sheehan in memory of her brother. The grant is available to students intending to follow aero- nautics and who have completed at least two years of work at the Uni- versity with a grade distinctly above average. The Joseph Boyer fund, estab- lished in 1938 by a gift from Mrs. Henry E Candler as a memorial to popular residence hall for engineers because of its convenient location near the engineering school. There are, however, a good number of students from other schools in the Quadrangle. Victor Vaughan House. a dorm for medical students, and Fletcher Hall, where students may work for their room, are the two re- maining resideice halls for men. Prof. Litzenberg Supervises Each of the 12 dormitories, with the exception -of Martha Cook build- ing, is under the supervision of Prof Karl Litzenberg, Director of Resi- dence Halls. University dieticians plan the 9,000 meals prepared daili under the general guidance of Miss Kathleen Hamm. Activities in the residence halls are overwhelming because of the great numbers and diverse types of occu- pants. Within each dorm the house government supervises the variou'r functions through chairmen. Sports camera clubs, musical groups, pub- licity and social events are managed this way. The social calendar during the school year begins with open houses after football games this fall and runs the gamut of teas, formals, fac- ulty and exchange dinners, language tables, musicales and current events discussions. Bull-sessions carry on yearly and choice gossip makes the rounds ac- cording to the best Michigan tradi- tion. Tlwo Buildings'.

One of the most precise of the many instruments used by the de- partment is the ruling machine, which can rule up to 14,400" lines in a space of one inch by means of a precision screw and a ground dia- mond ruling point. Glass plates ruled in this way are used xtensively in the study of the spectra. Most recent addition to the Uni- versity's scieptific equipment is the electron microscope, six or eight times more effective than the best light microscope. Could the resolving power of this new instrument be mul- tiplied by a factor of about ten, it would be possible to view the atom itself! Quiet, Please In the realm of general physics labs, the department is especially proud of its sound lab, extending through the first and second base- ments of the Randall Laboratory and built entirely separated from the. walls of the building so as to be completely sound-proof. Other special laboratories are de- voted to the study of X-rays, nuclear research, spectroscopy, electricity, light, mechanics, radioactivity and vacuum tubes., Madelon Louisa Stockwell Hall, women's dormitory, was opened in February, 1940, and houses 388 women in its two five-story wings. Cost of construction approximates $1,000,000. Scholarships Reward Ability, Offer Assistance ToStudents Students who show exceptional ,cholastic ability or who need finan- 3ial assistance to continue their studies may find themselves eligible for one of the numerous scholarships and loan funds made available through the University. General memorial scholarships established to aid students in all col- leges of, the University include the Horace H. Rackham Fund for Under- graduate Students which is awarded oreferably to Michigan students with high qualifications, the Stephen, Spaulding Scholarship for members of the Beta Theta Pi, fraternity, the Samuel J. Platt fund for aspiring lawyers, the John Blake Scholarship for students from Grand Rapids Jun- ior College, Charles Francis Adams Scholarships for Detroit Central High School students and the Seth Harrison Fund intended for descend- ants' of Seth Harrison. Otherfunds for use in any of the colleges are the Levi L. Barbour Scholarships for girls from Oriental countries, the Collegiate Sorosis Scholarship given each year to the member of that sorority who gives greatest promise of developing into a fine type of womanhood,' and the Alice B. Martin fund for residents in the Adelia Cheever House. Certain alumni groups throughout' the country have also established Funds to aid deserving students. These include the Chicago Associa- tion, the Memphis Club and thel Michigan Alumni group within theI state. War veterans and their descend- Art Association Holds ExhibitsI ants are provided for in the previ- sions of the United States Army, the D.A.R. and the La Verne Noyes Schol- arships. Concluding the list of general scholarships are the Ethel A. McCor- mick fund for women who show lead- ership abilities in campus activities, seven women's dormitory scholarships and the Eugene G. Fassett Scholar- ship. In addition to the above there are funds provided for stud'ents in sociol- ogy, biology, library science and clas- sical languages. There exist also numerous special scholarships for students in the professional schools. Supplementing the list of scholar- ships are approximately 150 loan funds. The student who obtains money from any of these is expected to repay it as soon as he is able. Enineer's Council M'y Yet Ordain 'Pots' For Frosh "Pots" for freshmen engineers isn't a certainty as yet, but when the En- gineering Council gets going again this fall, it may well become one. Discussion on the subject was cut off at tlie close of the semester last June, but the council was about to recommend pot-wearing at that time, believing that the upper-classmen would be better able to assist the freshmen in orientating themselves to the engineering college should tome means of identification be pro- vided. A universal practice some years ago, pot-wearing in recent years has been confined to fraternity pledges nor the most part. Should the Engi- ,ne'::ing Council proceed with its plan, pot-wearing may well return as a general campus practice. Activity in Sweden's shipyards is being maintained at a relatively high level, the Department of Commerce reported. .2 with a new Soviet musical com- edy, "Vclga-Volga," it was announ- led yesterday. Completing the bill will be two hort subjects, one showing the fam- 2d Red Army Ensemble in a series of ;ongs directed by Prof. A. Alexan- Jrov. The second will be a British tocumentary film dealing with the sole of sea-craft in the historic evac- uation of Dunkirk. The program for the rest of the season has not yet been fully com- pleted, but a considerable number of high-quality films is assured. Tickets will be sold separately for each pres- entation. Art Cinema officials said that a series of films, such as Char- lie Chaplin's, may again be shown this year. Tickets for film in this" series have to be bought in a block. In olga-Volga," music is the cause of hilarious rivalry between two groups of amatuer musicians. Each group seeks the honor of rep- resenting their town in a nation- wide music festival. Ringleaders in this tuneful free- for-all are Strelka, the village letter carrier who espouses gay folk tunes, and her fiance, Aliosha, whose enthu- siasm for classical music is greater than his playing ability. When the two rival groups embark on the Volga river, each determined entor System Aids Engineers One of the most effective programs in the College of Engineering is the Mentor System, which will-begin im- mediately after Orientation week. Under this system each student re- mains under the direct supervision of his orientation adviser. Grades, is- sued at the end of five- and ten-week periods, will be secured from the mentors, who keep close track of the student's progress. First year engineers should feel free to call on their respective mentors at any time with reference to any sub- ject relating to their college life. A new 24,000-mile teletype circuit for weather reporting will soon be placed in operation by the Weather Bureau, Department of Commerce. . to reach the scene of the competition before the other, amateur music gives way to amateur seamanship as a source of comedy. Estranged by their musical dispute and their hard-dought river race, Strelka and Aliosha are finally rec- onciled when the judges of the com- petition award first prize to the girl for her composition. "Song of the Volga." The role of Strelka is taken by Lubot Orlova, an outstanding So- viet film actress. SEEING Services Are Offered By Chinese Students Club With a long record of invaluable services to local Chinese students and aid to its homeland, the University of Michigan Chinese Students Club will open its social, recreational and educational facilities this year to all incoming Chinese students. In the past year the club sponsored several social and recreational pro- grams at the International Center for its members. Biggest accomplish- ment of the group during 1940-41 was a spring tag day drive for the United China Relief Drive.
