Fifty-Year-Old Ex-Mier
Closes Freshman Year
By JOHN DAVIE&
John Minnich Wilson reverses
the usual order of education.
Most people prefer to get col-
lege over when they're young and
tackle the world later-but not
Wilson.
At 50, with two grown children,
he is just completing his first year
at the University. Known as
"Jock" to his student friends, Wil-
son lives in the West Quad with
a roommate young enough to be
his son.
The "Miner's Poet"
Calling himself the "miner's
poet," "Jock" has written "Black
Diamonds," a book of original
poetry which he illustrated with
symbolistic ink drawings. A dis-
play of his books and drawings is
now being featured in a local
bookstore.
One reason the lanky, bushy-
haired Jock postponed his college
career is that he's been too in-
volved with tackling a multitude
of jobs. He began work down in
the coal mines at the age of 12,
and claims to be a survivor of two
explosions. He's also a veteran of
both world wars, having served as
a Marine.
Then there was a stint as a
mining engineer, followed by being
a policeman, a forester and a
draftsman. In between, Jock at-
tended art schools in different
parts of the country.
Miner Misrepresented
Wilson's writings-he has con-
tributed poetry to numerous mag-
azines including "Poetry," and to
several anthologies-support his
two pet theories. The first is that
the miner has been misrepresent-
ed to the public.
"Why, there's nothing uncouth
or illiterate about miners," he'll
tell you. "Though most miners
haven't had a good education,
they make up for it by doing lots
of reading," Wilson explains.
"John L. Lewis? Well, he's gone
a little overboard, but he's done a
lot for the miners."
TU' Glee Club
InitiAtes New
Scholarships
Three $350 Sums
To Be Given Yearly
The University Men's Glee Club
has initiated a scholarship fund
of three $350 awards to be made
yearly to men students distin-
guishing themselves in extra-cur-
ricular activities, Max Lindquist,
president, announced yesterday.
Applications for the scholar-
ships, the first ever established
by the Men's Glee Club at the
University, must be filed by May
1 to qualify for the awards to be
made for next fall.
Use Tour Profits
The profits from the Fred War-
ing Concerts, sponsored last fall
by the Glee Club, plus the receipts
from its recently concluded East-
ern trip made up the Glee Club's
initial grant to the fund, which is
already large enough to cover the
scholarship awards for three
years.
The resolution passed by the
Men's Glee Club at its business
meeting qualifies for the awards
"any male student regularly en-
rolled in a full time course of study
in any school or college of the Uni-
versity displaying a satisfactory
scholastic average." Preference
shall be given to needy students
who have contributed of their
time, efforts and talents to the
benefits of the University through
extra-curricular activities."
Apply By Mail
Application for the awards
should be made by letter and ad-
dressed to the chairman, Men's
Glee Club Scholarship Fund, Dean
Walter Rea, Rm. 2, University
Hall. Announcement of the com-
mittee's decisions will be made
May 20. The awards will be pay-
able in cash at the time of regis-
tration for the fall semester.

GAYETY REIGNS IN BRIDAL SHOWER ON BUS-Parker War-
ford (right), Detroit Street Railway Bus Driver, pours coffee for
bride-to-be Jean Welch, 18, during a bridal shower for Miss Welch,
held in the bus by fellow commuters. A group of 16 regular com-
muters bedecked the vehicle with crepe paper and balloons and
served refreshments as the bus rolled along its route toward down-
town Detroit. The Detroit Street Railway management-used to
just about anything these days-gave its approval for the shower.

Thou shalt not crash the Michi-

Robert Schemm, '50, wound up
in Health Service yesterday hav-
ing a few stitches sewed into his
scalp after jumping into the lug-
gage compartment of a coupe in
the parade when the car was too
loaded for 'just one more.'
But the well meaning invitation
only brought grief. The com-
partment lid flopped down on
Schemm's head, ripping a long
gash.

The Theta Chi fraternity is still
looking for the culprits who haul-
ed Dick Weeks' 1933 Plymouth off
in the dark of Friday night and
deposited it on the SAE lawn,
where it would be difficult to
remove.
The SAE's called the police yes-
terday and owner Weeks paid the
$3 charges for towing the car off
the lawn.
"We think the Phi Delts did it
-but that would be hard to
prove," one fraternity member
commented.
No individual solicitation inter-
views will be made towards Ann
Arbor's goal of $1,256,000 in the
Treasury Department Security
Loan Drive, Washtenaw County
drive chairman, Dean W. Titus,
announced.
The local total is part of the
$1,994,000 county quota to be spent
on former war bonds before the
drive ends June 30. The goal for
all of Michigan is $100 million.

Pre-Med Society
The regular meeting of the Pre-
Medical Society will be postponed
until Wed., May 5, because of the
lack of meeting facilities for next
Wednesday, when the meeting
was originally scheduled, Herb
Madalin, president, announced
yesterday.
The annual spring trend to na-
ture study was the inspiration of
the currentwGeneral Librarynex-
hibit devoted to "Exploring the
World of Nature."
Such diverse titles as Captain
Cook's "A Voyage Towards the
South Pole and Round the World,
1772-1775," and "Exotic Botany"
fall under the general theme.
A first edition of Darwin's "Or-
igin of Species" is displayed
among the other rare nature
works along with an original Dar-
win letter, dated Nov. 24, 1868.
This volume, one of the 1,250
copies of the first printing which
sold-out the day it was put on
sale, was loaned for the exhibit
by Henry P. Zuidema of the ge-
ology department.
The letter concerning alternate
glaciations of the northern and
southern hemispheres was also
loaned by Mr. Zuidema. It was'
signed by Charles Darwin but the
letter itself was in the handwrit-
ing of Mrs. Darwin.
Two original watercolors, one of
an American goshawk, painted
last January oy George Miksch
Sutton, and a second of the com-
mon Michigan cottontail rabbit
by William H. Burt, add interest
to the exhibit.
