THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE _______________________________________________________i STATE CAPITAL: Lansing Turns Back Calendar' For Centennial Celebration LANSING, March 15.-(/P3- Michigan's capital turned back its calendar today to begin a week- long centennial celebration. Lansing residents prepared to dress in hoopskirts, frock coats and stove-pipe hats and ride in surreys as they observe the 100th anniversary of the legislative act signed by Governor William L. Greenly on March 15, 1847, which established the "seat of state gov- ernment in Lansing Township, Ingham County." A Centennial Queen, selected from nearly 70 candidates, will reign over the week's activities, which will be highlighted by the Governor's luncheon, a costume ball, beard-growing contest and historical pageantry. Lansing came to be the capitol of Michigan because a legislative joke backfired in the 1847 session. While clamors of Jackson, Ann Arbor, Marshall, and a half dozen other towns to be selected as the new capitol deadlocked the 12th Legislature in Detroit, a lawmaker jokingly proposed that the capitol be located in the township of Lansing. The proposal gathered momen- tum, and two months later Lan- sing, hardly a cross-road at the time, nosed out the leading con- Case Contest Winners Tld Twenty Freshmen To Get Law Awards Twenty freshman law students have been selected as winners in fall Case Club competition, Philip Westbrook, presiding judge, an- nounced yesterday.

Westbrook announced R. S. Ratcliffe, A. M. Rude, E. H. Schmiel and R. R. Wilcox as win- ners in the Taney competition. He added that awards would be presented to the successful con- testants at the annual Case Club banquet May 1., From the declaration of a na- tional emergency in the summer of 1940 through early 1946 nearly sixteen million American men and women served in uniform. tender, Marshall, to be designated as the state capitol. The site was known at first as "the Town of Michigan," but was renamed Lan- sing over the objections of many who wanted it named for a promi- nent state or national figure or an Indian name. The city of Lansing was not incorporated until 12 years later although a state house was con- structed in time for the legislative session of 1848. The centennial celebration will get under way Monday at a Gov- ernor's luncheon honoring Gover- nor Sigler at which the Centen- nial Queen will be presented for the first time. The evening pro- gram will feature a city-wide St. Patrick's Day dinner. The 64th Legislature meets in joint session attended by the gov- ernor, members of the supreme court and elected officials Tuesday to honor the founding of the cap- itol. Former Governor Alex J. Groesbeck may address the ses- sion. Other Tuesday events include a merchant's breakfast to be attend- ed by all employes of Lansing shops in centennial costumes which they will wear in the stores all day, the judging of window dis- plays of 100-year-old relics, and the selection of Lansing's oldest native couple. North Lansing will hold its 40th annual Farmer's Day and smelt dinner. The Memories in Michigan show, a historical tableau, with Governor Sigler and C. W. Otto, secretary of the Lansing Chamber of Com- merce, speaking on "Michigan Yesterday and Today," will be pre- sented Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
