SUNDAY, MAY 7, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY SWIMMING TO SELLING: UpthegroveHandles Host of Activities The husky six-footer with the crew cut and letter sweater flash- ed his broad grin and inquired with a solicitous bellow how the ice cream, candy and coke were holding out. Out on the diamond, a Mich- -gan batter poled a long triple to Vhe tennis courts in center field .,nd the crowd rose cheering to watch the grey-uniformed play- ers come across the plate. * * * "WAY TO HIT, Leo," roared he leather-lunged young man. "And now, Miss, perhaps .you can -ell me just why it is that you don't want to buy another candy bar," said the huckster, turning his attention once more to a sales- resistant coed. Bill Upthegrove, '50EI Was in his element-rooting for the home team, making a ,neW ac- S * . . -Carisle Marsnall STUDY INTERLUDE-Bill Upthegrove, '50E, takes time out from his extensive extra-curricular activities to do a little boning for an approaching exam. A member of Tau Beta Pi, "Uppy's" tightly-packed schedule also includes swimming for Matt Mann and a raft of campus activities. 'NEEDED THE MONEY' 'Yellow and Blue' Written By Professor for $10 Prize quaintance and selling ice cream for the 'M' club conces- sion at Ferry Field. All three of these activities play a very im- portant part in "Uppy's" col- lege life. A three letter swimmer, he is equally enthusiastic about all ath- letic activity, whether it be wrest- ling with a fraternity brother or attending a basketball game at Yost Field House. AND THE COED who didn't think that she wanted another candy bar will probably be surpris- ed to be greeted by her first name the next time she meets "Uppy" on the diag. Upthegrove, who estimates that he has learned the names of almost 2,000 students since ihe entered the University, still gets his greates t enjoyment from campus life in adding a new acquaintance to his list. The desire to work with people pushed "Uppy" into activities even before he gained his first campus fame as a breast-stroker on Matt Mann's Big Ten National Champions in 1948. IN ADDITION to running the 'M' club concession, "Uppy" is a member of Michigamua, En- gineering Council,, Tau Beta Pi and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. At present he is also occu- pied in compiling an alumni di- rectory for the engineering class of '50, of which he is president. Any spare time "Uppy" can squeeze out of his carefully-plan- ned schedule he spends reading to fill in his education. At present he is toying with volume four of the Princeton Classics. * * * HIS SUMMERS are spent cruis- ing with the Navy under the NROTC program. He will leave in August for a two-year hitch as an ensign on line duty after his grad- uation- After his navy service, "Uppy" intends to return for graduate work in metallurgical engineering and follow his father's footsteps to a professorship in the engineer- ing college. Lloyd Memorial A goal of $10,000 has been set for an Alice Crocker Lloyd Mem- orial Library Fund, Miss Alice Russell, executive secretary of the Alumnae Council, has announced. The funds will be used for the construction of a library and study room addition to Hender- son House. Miss Russell said that indivi- dual and alumnae club contribu- tions would be accepted. Love-Sick Peers S tar, InlIolanthe A picture of what happens to$ the stable English House of Peers,a when completely demoralized by an ambitious band of Arcadian fairies, will come to the stage this weekend in the Gilbert and Sul- livan Society presentation of "Io- lanthe." The even current of the Peers' life is destroyed when the shep- herd, Strephon, son of the beloved fairy Iolanthe and a mortal, is elected to the Peerage with the aid of the peri (fairy band) and proceeds to get any law he sup- ports passed. AFTER HIS ELECTION, the peers are forced to sit in session through the grouse and salmon season, lose their 'chprished rights' which they formerly 'en- joyed on Wednesday nights,' and are no longer allowed to marry their deceased wives' sisters. As a final blow, Strephon gets through a bill which opens peerage posts to competitive examinations, and leaves the House in complete chaos. This picture of havoc in the highest British parliamentary cir- cles will be presented Friday, Sat- urday and Sunday in Pattengill Auditorium at the Ann Arbor High School. * M SUNDAY'S performance will be a special Mother's Day matinee, according to Richard Webber, '52, society president. Tickets for the three perform- ances and the May 20 Detroit show are on sale from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every day in the Ad- ministration Bldg. SpringRush Hits Bureau of Appointments Spring has ushered in one of the busiest monthsrfor the Uni- versity Bureau of Appointments office where approximately 200 students enter daily seeking in- terviews with representatives of prospective employers. The number of job-seekers is large, and more employers are sending representatives to the Bu- reau office to interview students than at this time last year. That's the report of T. Luther Purdom, director of the Bureau. Individual companies as a whole, however, are taking less men, he added, and salaries are approximately the same. QUOTING Ewan Clague, com- missioner of labor statistics in the U.S. Department of Commerce, Purdom said that "business con- ditions are rather prosperous," but he feels that it it up to the student to show more interest during the job interview. "The idea that a lack of interest makes the em- ployer want the applicant is an idea of the past," Purdom declared. The best employment oppor- tunities can be found in the ele- mentary teaching field because of a shortage of over 2,000 ele- mentary teachers in Michigan at present, Purdom said. A great many positions are also open for library personnel and teachers in the secretarial and home economics fields. The num- ber of calls for PhDs in economics and business administration has also increased, Pu'rdom stated. c c t i t i ' I i t J i -Daily-Ed Kozma BATTERED FACE-Last fall an unknown rifleman sent three bullets through the clock face at the top of the West Engineering Annex. His marksmanship resulted in a smashed face and stop- page of the entire mechanism. The four faces of the clock have surveyed the University campus for the past 67 years. 'Sharp' Shooter Takes ime ou*t; Blasts C lock 4 By BOB VAUGHN Ten bucks-that's the price that was paid for the song University men and women sing whenever they get together and feel "that old college spirit" in the air. Back in the late 1880's Charles Mills Gayley, author of "The Yel- low and the Blue," taught Latin here at the University. WHEN THE PALLADIUM, a campus onganization, offered a prize of $10 for a new college song, Prof. Gayley entered the compe- tion. The melody he selected is taken from a part of one of Balfe's operas, the Pirates Cho- rus. Prof. Gayley's song won the con- test and he walked off with the $10 prize. YEARS LATER, Prof. Gayley was asked how he came to write such a song. He laughed and said, "Well, I needed the $10," But the writing of that famous Michigan song wasn't really a joke to Prof. Gayley. Back in 1925 he wrote a letter to a friend. "It has always been a great joy to me, when re-visiting Ann Ar- bor, to hear the song still sung in fraternity houses and on the campus in the twilight. . .I have heard it in mid-ocean, on the streets of Florence and Rome, and hither and yon as I have tra- veled about the world." Charles Mills Gayley no longer travels this world, but he will never be forgotten, for he gave us our alma mater-"The Yellow and the Blue." By BOB SOLT Some gun-toting marksman has killed time with a vengeance. , By pumping three bullets into the old chimes clock on top of the West Engineering Annex last fall, he may now force the University to put an end to a 67-year-old Michigan tradition. WHY THE shooting was done, by whom, and at what exact time it occured,. are unknown to Uni- versity plant officials. All they can report is the when the bullets shattered the glass facing of one of the four clocks in the tower, some of the glass fell and wedged in front of the old clock, disrupting its entire mechanism. BACK IN 1883 when the four clocks were placed in a tower on top of the old library building, they were synchronized with five Eta Kappa Nu Initiates 35 . Eta Kappa Nu, electrical en- gineering honor society, has ini- tiated 35 new members. J. H. Foote, a member of Mich- igan State Board for Registration of Engineers, was made a profes- sional member. Other members include Donald V. Stocker, grad, Norman E. Boet- tcher, Bert J. Bouwman, James A. Burns, George F. Carabet, Leo- nard V. Chabala, James Chalmers, Michael Chanat, Cavaldo Cher- nitsky, Robert N. Clark, Roger S. Collard, Lyle D. Filkins, Robert E. Frese, Robert J. Hansen and William R. Hoffmeyer. Robert E. Hollister, John A. Lar- son, Paul A. Mantek, William J. McBride, Murray H. Miller, Billy D. Monk, John M. Moriarty, Mil- ton R. Moxon, Paul E. Nace, Ed- ward J. Nachazel and Vincent J. Rauner.

SMALL WONDERS: ark Room fili loud, melodious bells that chimed signals for students to go to their classes, eat, sleep and study. With the building of the modern campus library in 1919 on the same site, the chimes and clocks were moved to their present location on top of the_ engineering annex. There, for 28 years, two perspiring janitors would spend two hours every eight days winding the clock system. Then the death knell for the chimes was sounded. Since the Burton Memorial Tower built in 1937 with its carillon was to be- come the center of the campus, University officials announced the old chimes would sound no more for Michigan. IMMEDIATELY a tradition- loving faculty and student body began a vehement protest. While professors in the eco- nomics and engineering schools posted petitions on their bulle- tin boards reading, "We want the bells," students wrote letters and editorials in the Daily de- manding and pleading with Vice-President Shirley Smith and other University officials to let the bells toll again. But the administration's deci- sion stood, and after the evening of March 8, 1937, the chimes were never heard again. * * * THEN, shortly after the war be- gan, the bells were taken down and sold as scrap metal for $655.55. But the four clocks still kept run- ning-until those three bullets si- lenced their ticking a few monthsl ,go. Today, students walking along the diagonal by the Engineer-' ing building can look up at the clock and see the smashed fac- ing and missing hands. What happens now 'to the smashed clock and the other three which are not running depends again on the decision of the adminis- tration. But best chances are, that three bullets have not only put an end to the clock itself, but also to a Michigan tradition that is more than a half-century old. By ROSEMARY OWEN One General Library collection can be read only in a dark room! and with the aid of special ma- chines. Made up of microfilms, each 35mm. wide and from one foot to 100 feet long, the collection fea- tures many ancint American per- iodicals and is available to any student who is willing to climb to the fourth floor of the library and investigate the microfilm reading room. THE LIBRARY'S microfilm readers are six box-like structures tucked into a small room adjacent to Graduate Reading Room 4. About 150 students per month fiddle with the knobs and han- dles on the machines which control the size and focus of the images. Researchers and grad- uate students are the most fre- quent users . of the reading room. The library's film collection is varied, and of fairly recent vint- age. Built up chiefly during the past ten years, the assortment now contains such little-known works as records of the Michigan Super- intendency of Indian Affairs and the American Periodical Series. A Short Title Catalogue which records on film works published in England before 1640, includ- ing royal proclamations of the Tudor and early Stuart mon- archs is much in demand by students. In addition, all University doc- toral dissertations are now put on A 2 50 MI Pei'futmair Precious new perfume car- rier ... doesn't spill, leak or waste.
