T HE MIC H IGAN D AILY FRIDAY, JUNEr 2, 1944 _ _ Y . 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 is being taught by Professor Laing and Professor Kraus of the Depart- ment. Once again, Social Studies 93, Psroblems of the War and Post-War, will be offered in November. This 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 in their respective fields, 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 Begin Careers y~ Production 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."

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.
