23RD YEAR:
Scouts Have
No Trouble
Seating Fans
The crowds that jam Michigan
Stadium every football Saturday pre-
sent a lot of problems, but they don't
faze the Boy Scouts of America.
The scouts have been getting fans
into the right seats and running er-
rands. for the past 23 years.
Backed by the late Fielding H.
Yost, the scouts ushered their first
game in 1923 and haven't missed a
game since.
Nearly 1,000 of them are on hand
at each game. The majority are
from Washtenaw and Livingston
counties, but others have come from
such cities as Detroit, Flint, Sagi-
naw, Bay City, Pontiac, Grand Rap-
ids, Holland, Kalamazoo, Jackson.
Battle Creek, Ypsilanti, and Toledo,
Ohio.
Walter G. MacPeek, executi've of
the Washtenaw-Livingston Boy Scout
Council, said the ushering program
has always run smoothly, although
occasionally the boys leave their
posts to buy hot dogs and cold drinks
for well-meaning fans and aren't
available to help others to their seats.
"They aren't required to run er-
rands, but they like to be good
scouts," MacPeek said.
Under the direction of Daniel S.
Ling, chairman of the ushering com-
mittee, the scouts assemble in the
stadium at 12:15 p.m. for inspection:,
ushering assignments and instruc-
tions. One troop has charge of one-
half of an aisle and each individual
scout is responsible for four rows
of seats. A section leader, who is a
scout master or commissioner, is in
charge of 44 rows.
The khaki-clad boys consider ush-
erng duty a "lucky break" and work
hard to get it, since most troops se-
lect their ushers on merit - with
efficiency, appearance, dependahili-
ty and age all considered in selec-
tion.
Asked how he liked his ushering
work, one small Irish newsboy-scout
replied:
"Work? Are you kidding? Don't
you like to see Michigan play?"
During the second half of the
game, the scouts do not usher, but
are free to watch the game from
seats reserved for them.
Many of the scouts make their
first contact with the University as
ushers and many of them return as
students. Included in this group is
Michigan's 1941 All-American full-
back, Bob Westfall.

portray the ups and downs of life in
the industrial and dramatic schools.
The students perform a variety of
Russian folk dances and songs in

utes. It is accompanied by a short
musical, "Bayaderka Ballet."

Student Group
To Join Hotel
Pickets Today
A group of University students will
hitch-hike to Detroit today to join
the mass picketing demonstration
against the Barlum Hotel manage-
ment to protest at the discrimination
and physical violence it inflicted
upon members of AYD earlier this
week.
Suit for assault and battery has
been filed against the management
following the beating of American
Youth for Democracy members as
they attempted to leave a confer-
ence to which they had been invited
by the hotel management.
The conefernce was called after
AYD members had picketed Satur-
day in protest against discrimina-
tory practices in serving their mixed
group. AYD spokesmen asserted that
waitresses had refused to remove
dishes from their table because they
had been "contaminated" by Negroes.
Representatives of various cam-
pus groups, including Michigan
Youth for Democratic Action and
Inter-Racial Association, will be
among those going to Detroit to join
the picket line. John Houston,
MYDA president, said his efforts to
procure trucks for the trip were un-
successful.

Band To Play
In Romantic
Mood Today
Familiar sentimental tunes and
formations along the "boy meets
girl" line will be featured in the Uni-
versity Marching Band's presenta-
tion at the Illinois-Michigan foot-
ball game today.
The half-time routine will center
around campus romance and one of
its possible long-run consequences.
The band, with William D. Revelli
and Assistant Conductor Harold
Ferguson directing, will play a spe-
cial Illinois fanfare arranged by
band member Roy Swift, a junior in
music school. The group will then
from a tomahawk in honor of the
visiting team, to the accompaniment
of "Illinois Loyalty."
After the presentation, the band
will go into the block "M" formation
to play "College Days" and the "Yel-
loy and Blue."
Police Ask Students

stolen bicycles which students are
asked to identify, it was announced
today.

TO GUIDE STUDENTS:
Classification, Rating Planned
For Midwest BusAd Schools

Plans are underway for the classi-
fication and rating of schools of-
fering professional instruction in
business administration, Dean Rus-
sell A. Stephenson said yesterday.
Six business administration deans
from colleges throughout the midwest
discussed the immediate organiza-
tion of a system of classification of
the various types of business schools
in a recent meeting.
This was a preliminary explora-
tory conference, explained Dean
Stephenson, to feel out the possi-
bility of composing a list of all
schools of business administration, so
that every college will know how
business instruction is being given
elsewhere.
The object of this report, stated
Dean Stephenson, is to aid in guid-
ing the business student in the selec-
tion of a school adaptable to his par-
ticular problems and interests.
The University School of Business
Administration is classified in the
professional instruction category be-
cause it offers advanced professional
degrees. An incidental amount of
business training is given in some
colleges in connection with a general
education. Other schools not con-
nected in any way with universities

teach intensified vocational training
in the field of business.
It must be recognized, explained
Dean Stephenson, that distinct ob-
jectives and different methods of
obtaining them are employed by each
school. It is highly desirable, he con-
tinued, to present all types of busi-
ness education.
The first step to be taken by the
comin tee of deans, Dean Stephen-
son said, : to gather information for
the classificavion report.
