PRIL 24, 1949 'THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SE FROM BEER TO PHILOSOPHY:. The Daily Looks at 'Hat' Friedman Graduates Can A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION: * * * * By ROMA LIPSKY Usually the journalist asks the questions and does the interview- ing, but this week The Daily does a turn-about to take a profile look ,t Harriett Friedman, its Manag- ing Editor. (This in spite of the claim that her profile strongly resembles George Washington's.) * * * HARRIETT, known familiarly as Hat, is the first woman to hold the top Daily position in peace- -ime. But filling a man's role is nothing new to this gal, often called the only woman who's 100 percent newspaper-man. In addition to seven semesters on The Daily, including a se- mester as Editorial Director and a year as Managing Editor, she has been a reporter for the Chi- cago Herald American and Ann Arbor correspondent for the De- troit Free Press. But newspaper work also has an extra-curricular side. Harriett, who looks better in center field than any male member of The Daily baseball team, boasts the 'b'est south side Chicago jitterbug ever seen and the largest capacity for beer known to womankind." Both talents are exhibited at Daily parties. SHE SAYS THE hey-day of her activities was the two years spent at the University of Chicago. (Vi- tal statistics: received a scholar- ship there at the age of 15.) She worked on the college newspaper and played the violin with the University symphony -and the instrument still gets exercise every vacation when it is carried home and back on the train, despite the suspicions of fellow passengers that the case contains a machine-gun. As a member of the Chicago drama group,- her pride and joy was playing the wife in Moliere's trol of Student Publications and the administration, as a repre- sentative on all major campus committees and as "general boss- man" of the paper. A strictly unscientific poll of staff members indicated that they think she is easy to get along with, has a terrific sense of humor, tends to be a per- fectionist, is dynamic and cheerful, and is always willing to discuss any problem-journ- alistic or otherwise-that may arise. Asked what she thought of the paper, Harriett began modestly by declaring that "The Daily is the greatest college paper in the country." * * * "DESPITE complaints from dif- ferent groups, it actually serves all groups to their best interests. Working on The Daily has prob- ably given me the best chance I'll ever have to say what I think and see it in print the way I want it," she says. Harriett thinks the most im- portant thing for anyone who has a big responsibility on cam- pus is not to "begin taking your- self too seriously. You have to be able to get out occasionally and throw. a baseball around." Besides philosophy, she has taken most of her hours in Eng- lish and political science. Her fa- vorite courses have been with Profs. Nelson, Frankena, Meisel, Seager and Stevenson. * * * AFTER GRADUATION this spring, Harriett will spend the summer in Europe. "No tours," she states, "just bumming around for two months. My sister and I plan to visit Paris and London, and to make a pil- grimage to Mt. St. Michel. I guess Henry Adams' book had a pro- found influence on me." When she returns, Harriett plans-yes, that's right-to marry a newspaper man. h Will Present rlivan Operetta Find Career In Air Force Graduating college seniors willl have a chance to join a United States Air Force officer corps, as a result of an Air Force announce- ment yesterday. For college graduates interested in flying careers the Air Force is currently reserving a number of places in its summer and early fall Aviation Cadet classes, ac- cording to Ann Arbor Recruiting Officer Sergeant 1 cl. N. E. Boad- way. COLLEGE GRADUATES inter- ested in nonflying administrative and technical careers in the Force may receive Reserve commissions after six months' training at an Air Force Officer Candidate School, he added. Both men and women are eli- gible, he said. No ROTC or other prior military service is necessary. Further information may be ob- tained at the Ann Arbor Recruit- ing Service, Ann Arbor Armory. Gov. Williams To Act as Judge For Case Club Arguments Governor G. Mennen Williams will be one of the judges for the final Case Club arguments to be heard Wednesday at the Law School. A hypothetical question dealing with Michigan income tax law is to be argued by the student final- ists, and awards will be presented to the winners at the Case Club banquet to be held that night at the Michigan Union. ACCOMPANYING Gov. Wil- liams on the bench will be Judge Frank A. Picard of the United States District Court in Detroit, Justice Leland W. Carr of the Michigan Supreme Court, and Law School Dean E. Blythe Stason. The student lawyers who have been selected after a long series of eliminations held by the Case Club each year are: Gordon Boozer, '50L, and Bernard Trott, '49, as one team, and John Elam, '49L, and William Pierce, '49L, as their opponents. Gov. Williams will be the speak- er at the banquet, discussing "The Lawyer in Politics." The Henry M. Campbell awards, income from a $4,000 endowment, will be pre- sented to the winners by Glenn W. Curtis, member of a Detroit law firm. * * * THE CASE CLUB contests are voluntary and are managed by senior students in the Law School. This year 576 freshmen and jun- iors participated in the arguments, directed by W. W. Wumkes, '49L, presiding student judge. All fresh- men contests were judged by sen- iors, while junior class contests were judged by a bench of one faculty member and two students. Jamison Gets Silver Degree For Service Charles L. Jamison, professor of business policy in the School of Business Administration, has been awarded the Silver Degree of the Distinguished Service Award of Alpha Kappa Psi, professional in business, in that organization's formal initiation. Prof. Jamison was cited for "dis- tinguished service to Phi Chapter" as the fraternity's deputy coun- cilor for the past fifteen years. Succeeding Prof. Jamison is Douglas A. Hayes. New initiates are: John Bod- naruk, Melvin Brandt, Gerald Darrow, Everett Graf, Rode Ku- bik, William Levandoski, Robert Marsh, M. Ross Miller, M. M. Polakovich, Robert Polakovich, Blair Thompson and Thomas Welch. a NEWS-MINDED-Harriett "Hat" Friedman, Daily Managing Edi- tor, is pictured at the typewriter where she has produced some of the most colorful stories and provocative editorials to appear in The Daily.

JEEPSTER, INCLUDING $1 *Delivered LICNESE OVERDRIVE "Imaginary Invalid". She played basketball and field hockey with the women's teams and in spare moments managed to get enough solo flight hours for a student's pilot license. * * * "I LOOK BACK on that period with admiration," she declares, "but I don't see how I did it." With her father and 'ister Michigan alumni and a com- plete repertoire of yellow and blue songs from the age of. three on, fate had slated her for Ann Arbor. So in the fall of 45 Har- riett became a freshman again -this time at Michigan. Her Chicago training made the first year here "a snap" she re- ports, and also helped incline her towards becoming what she calls "the poorest philosophy major in the University." Friends modify this, however, to the "least philo- sophical." * * * AS MANAGING Editor, Har- ri off earcrac Q0 0 li ic n h fxv TONIGHT!
