Japanese Hit Pearl Harbor
Seven Years Ago Today
What happened seven years ago
today?
Japanese fighters and bombers
screamed down on Army and
Navy bases at Pearl Harbor, Oahu,
T.H., on Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941. And
for the second time in 25 years
the nation went to war.
A DAILY EXTRA, which hit
the streets at 4 p.m. Monday told
bewildered students of the disas-
ter and of U.S. vessels hit or sink-
ing off the Philippines, another
seized in the Yangtze River, and
warships sunk in an Anglo-Amer-
ican sea battle with the Japanese.
Australia had declared war on
Japan and both Congress and the
British Parliament hastily sched-
uled special sessions which result-
ed in war declarations.
Jap planes were sighted

stopped, as the nation girded it-
self for battle.

UNIVERSITY faculty members
were glued to their radios most of
Sunday and were ready with in-
ternretative analyses for The
Daily.
Least surprised was Prof.
Preston W. Slosson, of the his-
tory department, who had pre-
dicted that the United States
would become involved from the
Far East in the titanic struggle.
Professor William Haber, of the
economics department, prophe-
sied that labor leaders who
were "unaware of the gravity of
the previous situation," would
cooperate more fully now.
Most of them were relieved that
the change from peace to war had
been clear-cut.

STUDENTS CONTINUED their
normal academic routine.
Men worried a little more
about-the draft and how army-
proof educational deferments
would be. The chairman of the
Ann Arbor draft board predict-
ed a lower draft age and relax-
ation of qualifications.
Least disturbed were two "Iron
Man" students then dueling it out
to see who could stay awake the
longest. More than 100hours had
passed, but wearing dark glasses
and needing a shave the nodding
pair continued their battle to win
a $5 wager.

It won't lengthen your Christ-
mas shopping list but it may
lengthen the lives of some of the
cold, shivering men, women, and
children in Europe.
This is the appeal of the Ann
Arbor Society of Friends for their
two week clothin- l;drive launched
this week.
"OLD CLOTHING and shoes
which may be cluttering up your
closet would make the most ap-
preciated gift of all for the poor
in Europe," Jack Huebler, public-
ity chairman for Quaker group,
said.
"It doesn't matter what con-
dition they are in," he emipha-
sized, "because the Friends will
wash, mend, press, and pack
them at a work party following
the drive."

Warm clothes-sweaters, coats,
dresses--are especially needed, he
pointed out, although anything
that can be made wearable will be
appreciated.
"GAMES AND BOOKS, in ad-
dition, are being collected, he said,
"but, of course clothes are most
important."
Collection headquarters for the
drive will be Tuckaway House,
on the corner of Liberty and
Maynard Streets, he announced.
The clothing which is collected,
will be distributed to the needy
through the American Friends
Service committee with headquar-
ters in France, Germany, Poland,
Finland, Italy and Czechoslovakia,
he said.
Red-coated guardsmen begin a
tour of duty on the ramparts of
the Pattengill Auditorium stage at
8 p.m. tonight, as "Yeomen of the
Guard"' begins a three days en-
gagement in Ann Arbor.
THIS LIGHT OPERA, consid-
ered by many critics as the best
creation of Messrs. Gilbert and

proximately 75 persons, in addi-
tion to a thirty piece orchestra,

'U' Prof Gives
Coed Aid Fund'
A special scholarship for women
preparing for careers in interna-
tional affairs has been established
at the Fletcher School of Law and
Diplomacy by Dean and Mrs.
Ivan C. Crawford of the College
of Engineering, the Medford,
Mass. school announced yesterday.
The annual scholarship has
been provided by Dean and Mrs.
Crawford in memory of their
daughter Jean Anne Crawford
who graduated from Fletcher in
1941.
An annual stipend of $400 will
be provided by the scholarship.
Miss Crawford was fatally in-
jured while assigned as a Red
Cross correspondent accompany-
ing the Hoover Commission in-
vestigating food supply problems
in Holland and Belgium.
She was a correspondent for
Newsweek, Ann Arbor News,
Washington Post, and the Na-
tional Broadcasting Company.
Child Films Slated
Two films on family relations,
"Know Your Baby," and "Meeting
the Emotional Needs of Child-
hood," will be shown at 4:10 p.m.,
tomorrow, in Kellogg Auditorium.
They are sponsored by the
Audio-Visual Education Center
and are open to the public.
Costumes for "Yeomen"
promise to provide all sorts of
eye appeal for local audiences.
A stage setting which includes
a replica of the Tower of Lon-
don as well as a gigantic heads-
man's block will furnish an au-
thentic medieval background
for the sparkling music andj
action of the opera.
The plot of "Yeomen" deals
with a strolling entertainer and'
his girl friend who attempt to
save the life of a gentleman
scheduled to feel the keen edge of
the headsman's weapon.
THE INTRICACIES of this plot
and the complicated love affair
which arise in the coairse of the
action are guaranteed to keep
spectators on the edges of' their
seats as they try to figure out
whether or not the axe will fall.
Some good seats for all three
performances-tonight, tomorrow,
night and Thursday-are still
available, at 90 cents and $1.20.
They are on sale at the University
Hall ticket booth, and will be sold
at the Pattengill box office each
evening before the performance.
