FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1949 THE MICHIGAN DAILY --------- ------ __ UNORTHODOXY PLUS: 'U' Art Museum Beset' By Weird Barter Media DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN By ROSALIND VIRSHUP How much spaghetti would you pay for an old master drawing? Spaghetti may sound like an unusual medium of exchange,, but some of the ways in which the University Museum of Art acquires its art works, are equally unortho- dox. It seems the Parisian art dealer who sold a group of old master drawings to the University Mu- seum wanted his payment in kind. WHAT'S MORE he stipulated just what foods and books, and in what quantity were to be sent to him every month for the entire winter in exchange for the draw- City Suggests Parking Plans The 'City Council believes the University should provide for off- street parking in its future build- ing plans. A resolution to that effect was adopted by the Council after hear- ing a letter from Prof. John B. Waite of the law school. Prof. Waite mentioned East Quadrangle as an example of a building which lacks parking space. He said that University officials should be urged to com- ply with off-street parking re- quirements. ings. Spaghetti and rice topped the list. The University business office was not very happy about the whole thing. "They just didn't have the proper machinery for this type of transaction," Prof: Jean Paul Slusser, director of the Museum of Art explained. A large number of valuable drawings and prints were bought from a rich young man who had fitted himself out with a New York art gallery. When his enthusiasm ebbed he closed up the gallery and shipped the pictures to his mother. Prof. Slusser was greeted with open arms when he arrived at her apartment to look them over and perhaps buy a few. He purchased the entire group of "dust collec- tors that were cluttering up the closet" at his own price. A FEW PRINTS are orderedin the same way a farmer gets his seeds-out of a catalogue. But the major portion of the museum's collection is supplied by art deal- ers. Ever since the Regents estab- lished a fund 18 months ago the museum has made an unusually large number of purchases. "At present we're bending our efforts toward building up col- lections of drawings and prints of all periods, and, to a lesser ex- tent, contemporary painting and sculpture," Prof. Slusser said.

Named the Home Insurance Building, it was the first structure to be called a "skyscraper." VTe Official Michigan Ring T ShownToday "Grand Illusion," a. French movie starring Jean Gabin, will be shown at 8:30 p.m. today and to- morrow at Hill Auditorium. Shown in Ann Arbor twice be- fore, "Grand Illusion" has drawn larger crowds than any other movie presented at Hill Audito- rium. ONE OF THE most highly awarded pictures of all time, this French anti-war film won the New York film Critics Award in 1939. Helen Hayes considers "Grand Illusion" one of the most sat- isfying cinema experiences that she has ever had. Of Gabin she said, "He is undoubtedly thej greatest screen lover since Ru- dolph Valentino," Sponsored by The Art Cinema League and the American Veter- ans Committee, "Grand Illusion" is considered a fitting climax to the three week film festival fea- tured at Hill Auditorium which included "Day of Wrath" and "Marriage in the Shadows." Tickets will be available at Hill Auditorium before each showing. ble in their beer anymore-or at' least so hopes the fledgling BAd.- Council. Although ionch of their work is behind the scenes, the Council boasts new library hours and thej "morning coffee hour" as twoI "finished products" of their ef- forts. Meanwhile, work on other schemes to satisfy the complaints of business administration stu- dents goes on. ONE OF THE major projects of the education committee of the council is its work in combatting the strict restrictions recently im- posed on the number of courses business students may take out-,j side of the business school. Three council members are working with the faculty curric- ulum committee in an effort to expand the choice of outside electives and thereby broaden the outlook of the notoriously "one-tracked business man." Another phase of this under- taking is that of expanding the range of courses in business school ROTC Honors Senior Cadets "Men of Distinction" are not merely limited to liquor advertise- ments, as proved yesterday by an ROTC department announcement. Campus military officers select- edi nine senior ROTC cadets in Army and Air Force contingents! as "Distinguished Military Stu- dents for the school year 1948- 1949." All men chosen for the award are also seniors in the Uni- versity, ROTC head Colonel Karl E. Henion said.j UL'..riUUALt Vi.. USttASA I THE BUSINESSS SCHOOL not only has a faculty rating program. but last semester the council in- itiated a course evaluation pro-' gram. At the end of the term stu- dents were given the opportunity to say what they actually thought of certain courses, and to offer constructive suggestions. The council hopes to extend this pro- gram to include all courses offered in the school. Another commonly voiced complaint of the students was the haphazard changing of courses not offered every semes- ter, so that students often missed out on desired subjects. The council has now made ar- rangements so that the school schedules courses two years ahead of time. Students can plan on taking courses at designated se- mesters with the assurance the course will be available when the time comes. A NOVEL FEATURE of the bus- iness school is the introduction of students experts by the council to fill the gap caused by the lack of faculty advisors. These so-called experts are -advanced students, scholastically as well as chronologically, who give puzzled students first-hand descriptions and advice about vaguely defined courses. In compliance with popular opinion as articulated in the ques- tionnaires circulated last semes- ter, the council is publishing a booklet listing library facilities and their use to put students "in the know." d -Ai-no-- i-nens SUPPER CLUB M.A.H.
