Photo Contest
Big shots, move over! It's the little
fellow that's going to steal the show
in this year's Michiganensian.
Through the 'Ensian's new photo
contest, opening today, anyone with
a camera and a little initiative can
have his picture and name in the
1943 yearbook. Fraternity initia-
tions, dorm bull sessions, coke dates,
sorority groups, will all make good
material for the informal snapshots
needed. Any good action shot show-
ing a phase of University life will be
eligible if taken this spring, fall or
winter.
Students who wish to. compete for
one of the ten free 'Ensians to be
given for the best pictures should
send their prints, not negatives, to
Editor Dorothy Johnson, Student
Publications Building. A dollar will
be paid for every picture used, and
all entries are due before January 15.
This competition marks a new turn
in 'Ensian policy. Individual portraits
of seniors and second-semester jun-
iors graduating next September will.
be included, but the emphasis will be
on an 'Ensian that includes all phases
of campus life and represents all
classes and all schools.

MEXICAN STUDENTS REMEMBER:
Forme 'U' Club in I
Illl
The vitality of the University of
Michigan was not lost upon the Latin
America students enrolled here in the
summer session of 1941.
Among these students were about
30 from Ecuador and about 20 from
Quito, Mexico. Back home again the
students from Quito, joined by Michi-
gan alumni living there, decided to
form a University of Michigan Club.
On June 20, 1942, honorary presi-
dents of the newly formed Quito club
were made of Alexander G. Ruthven,
president of the University; Joseph
A. Bursley, Dean of Students; Raleigh
J. Nelson, Counselor to Foreign Stu-
dents and T. Hawley Tapping, Secre-
tary of the Alumni Association.
Three of the four officers of the
club, Dr. Alfredo Albornoz, Dr. Miguel
Albornoz,, and Eng. Silvia Cattant,
were here in the summer of 1941. The
fourth officer, Carlos G. Lopez, grad-
uated from the Engineering college in
1917.
Dr. Miguel Albornoz is again in this
country on a fellowship to Columbia
University.
