THE MICHUGAN DAVLY LBR IN GPEACE.2 Chinese War God Takes Up Residence on Campus A distinguished gentleman with a deep red face has recently tak- en up residence on a table in the ante-room of the International Center, ready to exert a peaceful and literary influence on campus He is Kuan Yu, Chinese god of war and patron of literature. whose status was presented to the Center by Wesley Fishel, of Cleveland, Ohio.

A few students, however, con- sidered the demonstration "fun." "I think everybody just wanted to have a good time," George Chaffy, '48, explained. "As a friend of mine said, it was like a pep rally." Gordon Orear, '50, thought it "a good snowball fight-we ought to have more like them." Most enthusiastic of all, though, was Chip Warrick, Bus. Ad., who said: "It was a fine idea. I was out there throwing eggs myself!" Iee Sculpture Fools Students Students going to school early yesteioW were shocked by the sight 1f a half frozen figure sit- ting on the stone bench in front of Haven Hall. One pretty coed, thinking that perhaps Gerhart Eisler had been unable to find adequate lodging in town and had been frozen to death during the night, started to put in an emergency call to the police department, but was stopped by one of her friends who took the time to examine the fig- ure more closely. IHr inspection revealed that the cold, quiet figure was no more than a very skillfully built snow- man. Evidently constructed by enterprising students during the night, the figure remained undis- turbed until early afternoon. At that time, an unidentified student, probably dissatisfied over a delayed subsistence check or moaning over a coming bluebook, viciously cleaved the head from the silent and unprotesting man- ndutlnt. Later, however, the damage was repaired by a sympathetic passer- by, and "Gerhart," as he was af- fectionately named by his friends, continued his lonely vigil, sitting on the "Gift of the Class of 1901." ing peace is explained by the Chinese belief that their war god urevents war and protects people from its horrors. Plaster and Ice The statue is made of plaster end covered with semi-precious stones. It is valued at approxi- mately $500 according to Dr. Es- son M. Gale, director of the In- ternational Center. Several legends explain the fact that Kuan Yu is always pictured as having a deep red face. One of the best known tells the story of a youth called Yun-chang who killed a local official to protect a young girl from becoming a concubine. Hot Pursuit Pursued by the guards, Yun- chang crossed a river and knelt on the other side to wash his face in the water. When he rose he discovered that his complexion had changed to reddish gray so that he was completely unrecog- nizable. He then presented him- self to the officers in safety tell- ing them that his name was Kuan. Later he joined with two friends who took the oath of brotherhood and afterward were known as the three brothers of the peach-orch- ard. Their exploits are known throughout China and are told in the "Story of the Three King- doms," a Chinese classic. Supporter of Heaven Known for centuries as a mili- taryhero, Kuan Yu was made a god by the Emperor Wan Li of the Ming dynasty, who in 1594 conferred upon him the title of Faithful and Loyal Great Ti, Sup- porter of Heaven and Protector of the Kingdom. Thousands of tem- ples have been erected in his honor throughout China. the Emperor Wan Li of the Ming dynasty, who in 1594 conferred upon him the.title of Faithful and Loyal Great Ti, Supporter of Heaven and Protector of the King- dom. Thousands of temples have been erected in his honor through- out China. As a war god Kuan Yu's por- trait hangs in all Army tents. His fame increased during the Man- chu Period when it is said that he appeared in the heavens during a battle and brought success to the Imperialists. Faculty ... (Continued from Page 1) man of the sociology, said "For about 15 years, no one but the radical students were active in political issues," Prof. Angell said. "Now the conservative students have come out to show their hand, and I am glad to see that they are at least politically active." "I hope they will control their methods of showing it," he said. Prof. P. A. Throop of the his- tory department said that the mob action was the result of the gen- eral tension in this country over Russia. "A citizen of the United States with the interests of this country at heart has a right to say anything," Prof. Throop said, "but Eisler does not fall into this category."

Migration Study To Be Undertaken The sociology department an- nounced yesterday that a study of intra-community migration in the city of Fiint will be initiated in the near future. Prof. A. H. Hawley stated that graduate students and qualified under-graduates are invited to participate in the project, which will involve interviewing a sample of 500 households to obtain data regarding reasons for changes of residence. The study will be started at the opening of spring semester, but students are urged to contact either Prof. Hawley or Dr. Ronald Freedman so that final arrange- ments can be made. Spanish Fihn 'La Barraca' To Be Shown "La Barraco," Spanish film from the novel by Vicente Blasco -Ibanez, will be presented at 8 p.m., tonight, in Lydia Mendels- sohn Theatre, under the auspices of La Sociedad Hispanica. "La Barraca," or "The Cabin," deals with the difficulties en- countered by Spanish peasants trying to make a living from their Valencian farms. The hatred for their economics status is brought out in their treatment of one fam- ily in their own group which they consider as intruders. The economic theme is not in most of Ibanez' works, including "Mere Nostrum," "Blood and Sand," and "The Four Horsemen of the Apoclypse," which was translated into nearly every lan- guage and made a silent film suc- cess with Rudolph Valentino. "La Barraca," however, is con- sidered to be Ibanez' greatest work. It is read in romance lan- guage Spanish 32 courses at the University. Starring in the film are two Latin American actors, Domingo Soler and Anita Blanch. Members of La Sociedad His- panica will be admitted free upon presentation of their membership cards. Tickets will go on sale at 2 p.m., today, in the Lydia Men- delssohn Box Office. A DEFENSIVE ROLE: Russian Tactics Hinder U.S. Aid to China, Lyons Asserts "As long as Russia stands ready to step in and dominate China, America is helpless to aid China, said Bayard Lyon of the Oriental Languages department, speaking at a Chinese supper at the Inter- national Center. Speaking on "What Can Amer- ica Do for China?" Lyon assert- ed that "America, the world's strongest nation, is today com- pletely hamstrung on all fronts by a far weaker nation. Her power for good is held immobilized like a horse tied to a hitching post. Wake Up America The horse could easily break away, if he only knew his own strength. America could easily rescue ensla yed nations if she only AICAF To Hold Education Drive The Executive Committee of the Michigan Committee for Aca- demic Freedom voted at its last meeting to carry out an educa- tional campaign to acquaint stu- dents with the National Students Association's Student Bill of Rights. The campaign will be carried out by the local Academic Free- dom Committees, in conjunction, if possible with the various Stu- dent Legislatures. could wake up to her own strength, Lyon added. Russia's aggressive tactics are not merely bad manners, but they are cleverly designed to keep the American people mentally on the defensive so that we won't feel our own strength, he added. "Meanwhile, unconscious of the opportunity and responsibility which go hand in hand with great strength, America sits bound hand and foot by cords of Russia's -weaving, and remains an unhappy accessory to Russia's many crimes," he asserted. The problem of aid to China and other needy countries can be solved only through settling ac- counts with Russia, he said. Endless Crimes "I hope my American people will some day soon wake up and tell Russia: 'We are sick and tired of your endless crimes. We insist thattyou get out of all occupied territories, or we will take the necessary steps to force you out," Lyon said. "I pray that the day will come when America will assume her rightful role of world leadership, so that the millions of oppressed, enslaved peoples of the world can again breathe freely and live happy, useful lives in a peaceful world with all the freedoms whict mean so much to them," he cor- eluded. i I Had things turned out differ-' ently, the ground on which the Pharmacology Building is located would be a cemetery and the monument which now is located' beside the library would mark the graves of past professors lying near the scene of their academick careers. The monument, distinguished.' by its column that appears to be cut off about fifteen feet from the ground, was originally de-1 signed to perpetuate the graves of Professors Whiting, Fox and Denton, and the memory of Prof. Douglas Houghton. Latin Inscription Inscribed in Latin, the monu- ment was first erected on the proposed University Bur'ying Ground, set up by the Regents in 1845. The Professor's Monument, af- ter the graveyard project was abandoned almost circumnavi- gated the campus. It was moved six times all around the diag until, UWF Discuss Atom Control Our state department is chas- ing a "will-o-the-wisp of UN power" in its attempt to establish internationol control of atomic energy, the campus chapter of the United World Federalists agreed last night. "Control of atomic energy and control of war itself cannot beI separated and are only possible under a world government with power to enforce law," George Shepherd, president of the chap- ter, said. in. 1918 it reached its present po- sition beside the library. No one knows for sure, but it is doubted if any deceased profes- sors are buried on campus at the present time. Humorous Potentialities The humorous potentialities of having dead professors within a stoner's throw of the class rooms are too numerous to mention. Library Program Colton Storm, curator of manu- scripts and maps at the Clements Library, will present a program entitled "Be a Friend to Your Li- brary" at 2:30 p.m. today over WKAR, through Broadcasting Service facilities. Carl Sheppard, Jr., instructor in fine arts, will discuss "Abstract Art and Industrial Design" on the weekly modern painting series program at 4 p.m., today over WPAG.
