"lTIlE MPH-ITGAN ;DAILY SUN CAMPUS CLOSE-UP: Dawson Earns Degree After Nine Antic Years r;} (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is another sn a series of articles on campus per- sonalities.) By ARTHUR HIGBEE University people can sigh with nostalgic relief-after nine fre- netic years, Buck Dawson's earned his degree. Buck, who's been a member, at one time or another, of 19 campu organiztions-including Sphinx, Michigamua, and, inexplicably, the varsity track team - has been graduated without a field of con- centration, which is just what anybody who knows him might have expected. This is consistent with Buck's basic credo: versatility. "Don't specialize. Develop every talent. Live a full ilfe, and don't let any- thing faze you," Buck says with a toothy grin, and you can take it or leave it. hoots, Saddle, to Horse and ... Buck has taken it, and it seems to have worked. One of these days, when the 'Ensian-under his edi- torship the biggest and fattest ever-has at last been put to bed, he'll pack his saddlebags and gallop off in four directions, among them New York, Holly- wood and the Canadian North Woods. Not simultaneously, it's true, al- though if anybody could do it Buck would be the man, but that's how many jobs are waiting for him to sink his prominent teeth into. The above-mentioned feature of the Dawson physiognomy may ac- count for his nickname, although Buck, who calls himself "the poor man's Pat O'Brien" heatedly de- nies this, explaining that he pick- ed the nickname up after a couple of boylood summers at a cattle ranch. Just for the record, his full name is William Forrest Dawson. Throwback Buck matriculated here in 1939, and immnediately startled the cam- pus-thrill-starved since the days of the hip-flask and the raccoon coat-by going to classes in a chic cowboy outfit, complete with five- gallon hat and chaps. This quali- fiod Buck for the pre-war Gar- goyle's gallery of "preposterous persons." During his second year here, tuck appeared at the Soph Prom in white moccasins, and led a snake dance around the ballroom, City To Hold GOP Prunary Ann Arbor Republicans will go to the polls tomorrow to vote in a primary election to determine who will be on the party ticket at the city election in April. Three positions are being con-. tested. In the third ward, Harvey E. Ward and Fred J. Williams are running for the position of super- visor on the ballot. The sixth ward fight for ald- erman will be bet'ween Prof. A. D. Moore and Byron O. Hughes. Also in the sixth ward, Miss Ruth M. Dana and Mrs. Wilmotth Barker are running for the post of super- visor. No Democratic primary will be held because, while the Democrats will run a full ticket in April, there is no fight for positions on th ballot among the Democrats. ;aily waving a white handkerchief znd singing, "Oh, we'll rally 'round the flag, boys, we'll rally 'round the flag." In his junior year, Buck suffered "he loss of a near and dear rever- ;ible, and spent ten dollars on vacky want ads in The Daily try- ng to get it back. Sample ad, aft- .r the Ohio State game, "THEY STOOD as one raccoon to cheer the fleeting halfback, and there I was, frozen like a frigid midget without my reversible." The reversible was never heard from again, but Buck was present- ed with a camel's hair coat by a Film Money To Re-finance, Award Fund Committee To Use 'Henry V Proceeds. Those who are having a tough time getting through Shakespeare courses may be surprised to find that "Henry V" will help some students get through college. The presentation of "Henry V" Thursday through Saturday at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre will be the first project of the Student Award Committee to re- establish awards for deserving students who are active in cam- pus affairs. The Student Award Fund, es- tablished in the Spring of 1941 was the brain-child of Harry O. Drickamer, himself an honor stu- dent in engineering. More Recognition Drickamer realized that many students sacrifice scholastic achievement in orcier to partici- pate in activities. Since such par- ticipation is a valuable contribu- tion to campus life, Drickamer felt that deserving students should receive recognition for tak- ing part in campus activities as well as for scholastic achieve- ment. The Award Fund was originally financed entirely by contributions from campus affairs such as J- Hop and Senior Ball. For the two school years during which it was functioning, 1941-'42 and 1942- '43, the Fund gave 32 awards with a total value of $1,815 to students outstanding in campus activities. Wartime Lag During the war, contributions to the Student Award Fund fell off. Later, many campus func- tions donated their profits to the Bomber Scholarship Fund. Recently, a group of students and faculty members decided to finance a reorganization of the Student Aw.ard Fund with a re- turn performance of the techni- color production, "Henry V." The film will be shown twice daily, at 2:30 and 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Lydia Mendelssohn Thea- ter. All profits from the film will go to the Student Award Fund. Tickets may be purchased at the box office in the League start- ing tomorrow.

I' I .7 , .. . , Student veterans have been urged to keep appointments for medical or dental care which have been authorized for them by the Veterans Administration. Broken appointments frequent- ly cause unnecessary delays in treatment. Veterans whose training eligi- bility expires during a semester may be allowed to finish the se- mester at government expense if more than half of the term has been completed. The Veterans Administration has authorized osteopathic treat- ment within specified limits to veterans with service - incurred disabilities. Trained nurses are urgently needed in veterans hospitals in Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. Annual salaries for nurses range from $2,644 to $4,902. Applica- tions may be made to any Veter- ans Administration hospital or directly to Chief, Nursing Divi- sion, Veterans Administration Branch Office 6, Columbus, Ohio. Every effort will be made to place nurses at the hospitals of their choice, but applications are particularly desired from nurses who are willing .to serve where mostneeded, the Veterans Admin- istration emphasized. The time during which partial- ly disabled combat wounded vet- erans of all branches of the arm- ed forces may enlist in the Army or Air Force has been indefinitely extended by both departm6nts. Those desiring enlistment must possess or be trainable in certain critically needed skills, and meet physical requirements to be en- listed in grade at time of dis- charge. "hams," all of whom they report, speak very good English. The students don't find out any state secrets though. As soon as the subject of conversation strays away from radio the Russian hams ''clam up. Students at the University of 'tah are overwhelmingly in favor of birth control, according to a recent poll by a student sociologist. Most men and women students agreed that the optimum number of children a couple should have is three. In response to "What is the ideal length of time after marriage to have children," the men said two years, the women three. Both sexes agreed as to the ad- visability of double beds over twin beds but in varying ratios. The women were 92 per cent in-favor of double beds but the men were only luke-warm, a mere 53 per cent backing the idea. Michigan State's campus po- lice chief let out a blast against the "same old excuses" students are using for illegal parking, in a recent issue of the Michigan State News. "The students are ingenious and definitely play all the angles," the chief said. The prize for violations went to the student who managed to park illegally four different times in one day. *' * Students at the University of Southern California are alreay preparing for this year's presi- dential election. Registration booths have been set up on cam- pus and an all-out campaign is being conducted to see that all eligible students will be regis- teredwell before the deadline. Officials at the University of Wisconsin have appointed a board to study the safety of the tempo- rary fieldhouse bleachers used during basketball games. The step was taken to avert any possibility of a repetition of the disaster which took two lives at Purdue University during the Wisconsin- Purdue game last year.

Hiatus The war, as it must to all men, -ut Buck's career short for awhile -four years, that is. He spent 11 nonths on the lines with 82nd Airborne Division, and earned 18 decorations. Back in school last year, Buck wrote a couple of books, covered he Detroit Tigers' spring training ;amp for The Daily, and pulled the wacky want ad stunt again to wangle an apartment: "Are your evenings long and dull? Do you need company? We laugh at all jokes and won't study if it bothers you:", With full steam up as manag- ing editor of this year's 'Ensian. Buck tested yearbooks by throwing them off the Union tower, and ran off a picture contest for mar- ried students' babies. A Question of the Fabulous What makes Buck Dawson tick? What causes his dervish-like ener- gy, a contagious force that, as his roommate put it, "engenders en- thusiasm by example?" That's an unanswerable ques- tion, though part of it may be his contention that "a man can do no greater service for his fel- lows than entertain them." Personally modest, Buck is often embarrassed by the reams of pub- licity he keeps getting, and he's keenly aware of the occasional snorts of resentment it causes. But this is one of the drawbacks of being colorful and inimitable- which Buck definitely is. He's what newspaper men call 'good copy"-and he probably always will be. r ._,;.r l zii:i:....,.... * y Detroit ANN ARBOR TOWN and COUNTRY SHOP 1108 S.
