Lecture here
On Palestine
Noted journalist and author,
Pierre van Passen, will deliver the
Henrietta Szold Lecture on
"America and Palestine" at 8 p.m.
Sunday in Hill Auditorium.
Van Passen, a world wide trav-
eller, has made several tours
through Arabic territories and has
visited Palestine seven times. He
has interviewed such notables as
King Ibn Saud, the Mufti, the
King of Egypt, and the Mfti of
Bagdad.
"The Forgotten Ally," published
in 1943, was written by van Passen
from his first-hand observation
and study of Palestine. It has been
acclaimed by critics as a modern
classic on the Palestine Problem
and the world Jewish question.
Among his other books are
"Earth Can Be Fair" and "Days of
Our Years."
The lecture is being sponsored
by B'nai B'rith, the Hillel founda-
tion, Intercollegiate Zionist Fed-
eration of America, Beth Israel
Sisterhood, and Hadassah.
Harvey Movie
To Be Shown
Pre-Meds To View
Circulation Film
A movie on William Harvey's
discovery of the circulation of
blood will highlight the Pre-Medi-
cal Society's meeting at 7:30 p.m.
tonight in Rm. 305 of the Union.
The film presents in dramatic
form an important turning point
in the history of medicine, which
greatly altered the medical view-
point held until the time of the
discovery.
Following the movie will be an
election for next year's officers,
which include the president, vice-
president, treasurer, secretary,
and publicity manager.
Also to be discussed will be the
plans for an advisory pamphlet,
which is to be based on a recent
poll of pre-medical students made
by the Society.
All pre-medical and medical
students were invited to attend
the meeting.
held at 6 p.m. Saturday in the
Union, will see the resurrection of
the "little bronze man." At one
time the metal statuette was
awarded an annual tour with the
chapter of Sigma Rho Tau which
won the national competition in
debating and public speaking.
But for many years now he has
been relegated to the memories of
old-time Stump Speakers. This
year's convention will see a new
"little bronze man," an exact rep-
lica of the original. Competition
for possession of the trophy is ex-
pected to be rugged.
Attorney Speaks
Daniel C. Wilkerson, patent at-
torney for General Motors Corpo-
ration will talk on "Preservation
of Human Speech" at the banquet.
Several faculty members will also
be called on to prake impromptu
speeches, "under fire" by the engi-
neers.
Another traditional award, the
Cooley Cane, will be presented to
the junior member of the organi-
zation who has contributed most
to helping the work of Sigma Rho
Tau.,
The cane, presented each year,
is a part of the original wooden
fence which sur ounded the cam-
pus at the close of the last century'
to keep cows from wandering
across the Diag.
Tickets for the banquet, which
is open to the public, may be ob-
tained from Art Pears at 2-7077,
Prof. Robert D. Brackett, Ext. 570,
or from any member of Sigma Rho
Tau.
Old Eli"".
(Continued from Page 1)
before collecting his two pounds
of hamburger in the kitchen.
He never bit a person in his 10
years in Ann Arbor, and never
fought with a dog smaller than
himself. Once in a fight, he'd
clamp his huge jaws around the
legs and hang on. One night the
Betas found the Chi Psi porter
beating Eli with a lead pipe, try-
ing to make him release his hold
on Moonshine Rum.
Eli's battle scars caught up with
him in his old age. He went blind
in one eye, several cuts refused to
heal, and the old fellow began to
be in great pain. The Betas knew
he'd have to be put to sleep and
reluctantly voted the move at a
special meeting.
Yesterday Eli slept out of his
misery leaving behind a legion
of admirers. A special plaque is
being planned which, in addition
to the rugged face with two ele-,
phant tusk teeth which appears
in 10 different Beta house pic-
tures, will keep alive the memory
of a dog who combined the best
of bulldog, gentleman, and devot-
ed friend.
Opera Committee
Will Meet Today
A final meeting of the semester
for student song and lyric writ-
ers working on the 1948 Union
Opera will be held at 7:15 p.m. to-
day in the Journalism newsroom
of Haven Hall.
Dave Leyshon, chairman of the
Opera Executive Council, de-
scribed progress made thus far on
Opera music as very favorable and
asked that all songwriters be on
hand for the meeting.
Leyshon also emphasized that a
rough draft of music or lyrics
now being written must be handed
in to him by each songwriter by
Saturday.
Hillel Campaign
The B'nai B'rith Hillel Founda-
tion is sponsoring an intensive
drive this month for supplies for
overseas survivors.
Discarded clothes, books, pen-
cils, pen, paper, and even leftover
bluebooks can be put to good use
overseas, leaders of the drive point
out.
Organized houses have been in-
structed to set up boxes for these
materials. Others may bring their
contributions directly to the Foun-
dation, 730 Haven St.
The
City Beat
An unnamed motorist discov-
ered yesterday that it really is
too near summer to be wearing
a furry collar to work.
Wnile driving down E. Delhi
Rd., he felt his neck gewg warm
and ticklish. Reaching back he
discovered a pet coon that must
have crept into his car during the
previous night.
So if your pet coon is missing,
contact Dr. H. R. Shipman, vet-
erinarian who has the animal.
Dogs aren't the only animals
that bite, Sheriff's officers
learned yesterday.
Charles Kline, 21, of 3315 Mc-
Comb Ave., East Ann Arbor, was
bitten by a rat; Monica Stevens,
26, of 324 E. Kingsley St., was
bitten by a stray cat; and a
University campus squirrel
nipped a grounds employe.

Ann Arbor police searched fruit-
lessly Monday night for a parking
meter head missing in the 100
block of W. Liberty.
A souvenir hunter or an irate
citizen was blamed for the theft.
The mechanism is valued at
$59.50.
Anderson Jackson, 20, a fug-
itive from an Alabama'prison,
was sentenced to eight to 15
years in prison yesterday on a
charge of assault with intent to
murder, by Washtenaw County

IN DARKEST AFRICA:
Native Customs and Western
Civilization Meet in Liberia
zik, research botanist, who has re-
cently returned from a long stay
in the dark continent.
The republic is now in a state
of unrest, he says, because of the
long range struggle for control
of the government between tribal
leaders tryin,,tomaintain rule
through thle old rites and customs,
and the Liberians educated in Eur-
ope and America who are advo-
cating a change to the ideas of
western civilization.
Older Than Egypt
The customs and religion prac-
tised by the various Liberian tribes
date back further than Egyptian
civilization. The medicine men,
tribal dances, and polytheism are
all very serious matters to the av-
erage Liberian.
The rubber industry in Liberia
is comparatively new, dating back
to 1926 when the first saplings
were imported from South Amer-
ica. Firestone at present has the
largest plantation, but the com-
pany does not own its land,
According to a prevailing law,
no outside investor can buy Liber-
ian property, but the government
has consented to grant leases for
a period up to ninety-nine years.
Five Years With Firestone
Muzik spent five years working
with the Research Department of
the Firestone Rubber Co. planta-
tion in Liberia. He has recently
returned to the University to or-
ganize the data gained in Liberia
into a thesis on rubber.
