JESSE RIDES AGAIN:
Desperado Said To Be'U' Alumnus
By PAUL BRENTLINGER
Jesse James may have attended
the University's Law School.
At least, that's what the casual
reader of the book "Jesse James
Rides Again" might be led to be-
lieve.
According to this book, written
by Frank Hall and Lindsey Whit-
ten, "Jesse James was very suc-
cessful as a soldier of fortune be-
cause of his education. Few peo-
ple knew that he was a college
graduate with a law degree. Al-

By Many Students
Engineers apparently have more
culturecthan someiLSA students
would care to admit.
Or so it seems from figures re-
leased by the Circulation Depart-
ment of the General Library,
which tell how many students
from the different schools of the
University used the new record
library during the first two weeks
of its existence.
' * * *
though he never actually prac-
ticed law, he was graduated with
honors at Ann Arbor, Michign."

"JESSE JAMES Rides Again," a
modest biography of the notor-
ious train robber, was acquired
last summer by Jim Hemming,
Grad., in Missouri. It was pub-
lished by a Lawton, Okla. pub-
lisher in 1948, according to Hem-
ming.
While in Missouri, Hemming
visited J. Frank Dalton, 102
years old, who achieved nation-
al prominence recently by bring-
ing action in a Missouri circuit
court for the right to use the
name Jesse James. Dalton claims
that he is the true Jesse.
The aged Missourian also told
Hemming many tales of experi-
ences he had in Detroit and other
Michigan cities in his younger
days.
GOING BACK to the book, it
continues by saying that Jesse
"went to school" before his re-
ported death. This was during the
1870's after he had served for a
period in the Texas Rangers. His
ranger captain encouraged him to
attend a college and suggested the
Michigan institution.
"Attending under an assumed
name, Jesse first started study-
ing medicine." Because he
couldn't stand the sight of
blood, "after a year he trans-
ferred to the school of law."
A check with the catalogue of-
fice in Alumni Memorial Hall re-
vealed that the alumni -associa-
tion has no record of either a
Jesse James or a J. Frank Dalton,
as ever having been a student at
the University. Of course, the fam-
ed renegade might have used an
assumed name; as the book sug-
gested.

problem will take the spot-

MUSIC MODERNE:
Jazz Platters Spin Weekly
As Boppers PlayFavorites
ACCORDING to Fred Dimock,
director of the Circulation De-
partment, tabs were kept on who
took out the records in order to
find out if students from any one
school monopolized the facility.
Although English concen-
trates led the field by a small
margin, the number of engineers
followed close after, proving,
according to one erudite en-
gineer, that many devotees of
the triangle and T-square are
not as anti-aesthetic as they
are made out to be.
The total number of students
borrowing records during the first
two weeks was 126, with practical-
ly every school of the University
represented.
"We are satisfied that the use
of the records is being spread well
al over campus," Dimock de-
clared.
By HERB CHESTON
"Boppers" and "Molde Olde
Figges," the lovers of jazz music,
have kept the beat of "Hot Music"

enters its fourth year, on campus.

'U' Production
Names Cast
Of 'KingLear'
All but two of the main charac-
ters of "King Lear" are scheduled
to die March 29 through April 1
on the stage of Lydia Mendelssohn
theatre.
Death from rapier wounds and
broken hearts, as well as eye-
gouging and madness will all be
part of an evening's work for the
cast of the Speech department's
latest production. The actors,
however, will only suffer emo-
meets every week on Sunday night
for a jazz concert in the League
ballroom.
Members contribute their rar-
est and best recordings and the
concert continues on into the
night, until discs or audience give
out.
ONCE-A-MONTH live sessions
are given featuring "Lord Carl-
tons Swing Sextet," "Hugh Jack-
sons Boptet" and "Bob Leopolds
Dixieland Group." The live ses-
sions are attended by almost 200
persons.
In addition to the concerts
the society has set up contacts
with record dealers in Europe
for hard-to-get, and out-of-date
issues, unobtainable in the Unit-
ed States. Exchange devalua-
tions have reduced the cost of
these discs to their American
equivalents.
At 9:30 every Monday night the
Hot Record Society goes on radio
station WHRV, to bring to the
listening public a collection of
rare jazz items, in disc jockey
fashion, comments included.

Foresters To Aid
HelsinkiLibrary

destroyed and depleted forestry li-
braries in devastated countries, the
Michigan Foresters' Club laid
plans last night to aid the Uni-
versity' at Helsinki, Finland.

tions may still sign up from 3 to
5 p.m. today at the SL office in
the Office of Student Affairs.
* ,, * *
Although the delegates will'
be selected partially on the basis
of an applicant's knowledge of.
SL and the local NSA commit-
tee, Miss Zipperstein urged all
students to petition "regardless
of their background in campus
activities."
"We're. especially anxious to
have a delegation which is truly
representative of° all University
students and if an applicant has
had no previous experience with
NSA we will make special back-
ground material available to
him," she said.
Built around the theme of "The
Role of the Student in the Edu-
cational Community," the Con-
gres will bring hundreds of dele-
gates from colleges and univer-
sities all over the country to Ann
Arbor to discuss student problems
and set NSA policy.
