SUMMER PRIZES:
Outstanding Student Writers
keceive HtopwoodAwards
Hopwood awards for this summer
will be cash prizes of $75 and $50 in
each of four fields of writing: drama,
fiction, poetry and essay.
These awards were inaugurated in
1938 for students in the summer ses-
sion to supplement yearly contests
that have been held since 1930. Many
prizes, some $1,000 or over, have been
given for outstanding novels, poetry.
essays and 'short stories, many of
which have been published and have
received favorable critical reports.
Book Published
The most recent of these is "Delay
Is the Song," a book of verse by Ros-
amond Haas. Rosemary Obermeyer's
prize-winning novel of 1942, "Golden
Apples of the Sun," appeared late
in January. -
Avory Hopwood, playwright, who is
responsible for the largest set of prizes
for writing in any university, willed
one-fifth of his estate to Michigan
in 1922. His flair for originality,
coupled with his desire for the recog-
nition of exceptional talent, led to
the stipulation in his will that "the
student be allowed the widest possible
latitude" and that the "new, unusual
and the radical shall be especially
encouraged."
Hopwood Attended "U"
Hopwood attended the University
of Michigan in 1901, was a member
of Phi Betta Kappa, and was gradu-
ated in 1904. Fresh from college, he
worked for the Cleveland Leader and
wrote his first play,"Clothes," in col-
laboration with Channing Pollock.
In the course of the next 22 years
he wrote 50 plays, most of which were
successful and have been produced
in the United States, Canada, and
the principle countries of Europe and
the Orient.
At the age of 44, Hopwood drowned
while swimming off the beach near
Juan-Les-Pins, France. Most of his
million-dollar estate went to his
mother, Jule Hopwood, and, upon her
death, Michigan received the bequest
which forms the Avery Hopwood and
Jule Hopwood Awards in Creative
Writing.
Two Newv War
Courses Given
The Political Science Depart ment
is offering two stimulating courses
pertaining to the present war and its
problems, owge, an entirely new course
to be offered during the summer term.
and the other, which has been
taught for several semesters, to be
offered during the fall and spring
terms.
'The summer course, A Theoretical
Basis of Some Contemporary Politi-
cal Problems, consists of a study of
the modern state through a consid-
eration of the theoretical implica-
tions of some present trends in world
and domestic affairs. This course is
listed as Political Science 183, and

and Professor Kraus of the Depart-
ment.

course is particularly interesting be-
cause, in addition to dealing with
extremely pertinent problems, each
lecture is handled by another in-
structor, all of whom are competent

DRAMATICS ARE TOPS:
Student Actors
In College Phi
Recognized as having one of the
outstanding college dramatic depart-
ments in the country, the UniversityI
Play Production, under the direction
of Valentine Windt, gives students
who are interested in a career on the
stage an opportunity to get their
first start.
Everything from acting to make-
up, to technical duties, and to direct-
ing are included in the speech de-
partment's Play Production. Because
the war has made such inroads in
the civilian men population, women
have had to take over the duties of
managing the house lights, cons-
tructing scenery and setting the
stage.
Play Production gives at least four
three-act plays each school year, and
two children's plays. Among the
more famous productions of the past
few years were "Much Ado About
Nothing," "Comedy of Errors,"
"Alice- Sit- by- the- Fire," "Papa Is
All," "Ladies in Retirement," and
"She Stoops To Conquer."
Plays offered by the speech depart-
ment in thesummer term are pro-
duced by the Michigan Repertory
Players. This group includes both
amateur and professional actors. Or-
ganized in the summer of 1929, the
IPlayers has been under the direction

of Prof. Windt and Prof. Clarib
Baird of Oklahoma State College for
Women. Last summer the group pre-
sented four three-act plays and an
operetta, "Hansel and Gretel."
Students interested in a career on
the stage may concentrate at the
University in one or more fields:
directing, stage craft, costuming and
make-up, or acting

ElectionsRun By
Judiciary 1ouncil
The Judiciary Council for Men
handles elections and sees to it that
everything on campus runs smoothly.
It's supposed to handle complaints,
but complaints are few. It's supposed
to handle cases of misconduct of male
students, but these are even fewer.
So the Judiciary Council for Men
concentrates on the elections of all
class officers (be they men or wo-
men), the Board of Student Publica-
tions and the Board of Athletics.
