Stunt or Indians Name Nearby Town
' "I've been to Hell and back
again."
Lee Gordon, '52, has just return-
ed from Hell-, Michigan, a town
approximately 15 miles from Ann
Arbor.
* * *
THERE ARE two stock stories
concerning the origin of the town's
name which circulate around the
area.
One story gives the credit to
some mischievous boys who
played a stunt on Halloween.
It seems the town's only gaso-
line station had a big sign across
the road into Hel. Late Hallo-
ween evening about twenty years
ago, the first letter in the sign was
knocked out leaving a sign reading

TELEVISION NIGHTLY
Stop Here for
sign and for many years those who
passed through the town took it
for granted that it was named,
Hell.
The few inhabitants of Hell
liked the name and so they kept
the accidentally-found title.
The other story about "Hell"
goes back to the days of the cow-
boys and Indians.
* * * .
IN THOSE days the town had a
small store where people gathered
to talk and get supplies for the
journey west.
The Indians discovered that
all caravans stopped in this par-
ticular town and so they chose it
as their favorite raiding area.
In fact, it was raided so often
that caravans soon refused to "go
to Hell."
As the years passed and less
people dared to "go to Hell," the
name rubbed off and the people
thereafter were called inhabitants
of "Hell."
Nelson International House
Progresses Towards Goals
By DAVIS CRIPPEN
"It's been a long haul, but we've
just about got things squared away
in the house," Bill Miller, Grad.,
public relations chairman of the
Nelson International House said
yesterday.
The establishment, first of its
kind on campus and one of the
few in the country, moved in the
beginning of the semester to 915
Oakland, but before the men could
settle extensive changes had to be
made.
* * *
THROUGH ALL this time, Mil-
ler said, the men have been work-
ing at the real objective of a house
devoted to international living-
they've been getting acquainted
with each other.
Helping the get acquainted
program along has been the pol-
icy of national dinners. Under
it, on Saturday nights the men
from a particular country get
together and serve a meal typi-
cal of their native land.
So far the men from China,
Thailand, India, and last Satur-
day, Iran, have been chefs for a
day to the house.
"IF YOU'LL excuse my saying
so," Miller said with a sly grin,
"the men are wild about the idea.
In fact, they just eat it up."
Committee Meets
The Citizen's Committee for the
Hoover Commission Report will
hold its second meeting at 7:30
p.m. today in the Union.
The Committee will work on
campus with other organizations
to arouse student interest in the
Hoover Commission, according to
temporary secretary Len Wilcox,
'52.
notifies the Veterans Administra-
tion in writing prior to May 15
that he does not want leave. This
notice should be sent to: Veterans
Administration, 310 East Jeffer-
son Avenue, Detroit 32, Michigan.
Attention: 29R7AA.
Men's Housing Applications for
the Summer Session 1950: Men's

dence Halls for the Summer Ses-
sion 1950 are now being accepted.

orities wishing to entertain fol-

Besides the countries already
mentioned, there are six others
represented among the men in
the house: Turkey, Japan, Hol-
land, Norway, Brazil and the
United States.
As for admittance into the
house, Don Haskell, personnel di-
rector, explained that the process
is not complicated.
The applicants fill out a form,
which asks only their name and
address and why they want to get
in the house. Then the application
is passed on.
"Anyone, foreign or American,
who is interested in applying for
next fall," Haskell said, "can call
me at 3-8506."
Local Court
Fines Students
Municipal court fined four stu-
dents $179.05 over the weekend,
three on liquor charges and one
on a charge of reckless driving,
while a plea of mute was entered
for one student on liquor charges.
Daniel J. Buckley, 23 years old,
was fined $106-85 after pleading
guilty to a charge of driving un-
der the influence of liquor.
BRUCE COOK, 21 years old, was
fined $26.25 for furnishing two
University students, 18 and 19
years old, with beer for a weekend
canoeing trip.
A 20-year-old student, charg-
ed with being drunk and dis-
orderly, pleaded guilty and was
ined $16.85 by the court.
John E. Cline, '50Ed, 23 years
old, paid a total of $29.90 in

court that his parents had not
been notified of the charge. Judge
Francis O'Brien entered a plea of
mute for him and held the case
over until Saturday. The student
Acadenic
Rights Will
Be Debated
In an attempt to discover a
workable definition of academic
freedom suitable for times of ten-
sion, the Ann Arbor Federation of
Teachers has scheduled a public
service meeting to be held at 7:45
p.m. Thursday in the Unitarian
Church House.
Prof. A. K. Stevens, chairman
of the Teachers Federation locally
will preside over the discussion en-
titled "Academic Freedom in and
for a Free Society."
PARTICIPATING as discussion
leaders on various facets of the
topic will be Prof. William Fran-
kena, chairman of the philosophy
department, John Shepard of the
psychology department and Nor-
man Nelson of the English depart-
ment. -
Lewis Reimann, local civic and
business leader will also take
part in the discussion.
"It is high time somebody got
down to brass tacks in defining
academic freedom," Prof. Stevens
said recently.
* * *
"SOME TEACHERS think it
means only the right to regulate
window shades in the class room,
while others seem to think it is
an automatic guarantee of immu-
nity for intellectual hooliganism."
Question to be discussed at
the meeting include: Is academ-
ic freedom a luxury or a neces-
sity? Is absolute freedom possi-
ble? What are the responsibili-
ties of the teacher in a free
society? At what point does a
teacher become a subversive?
Prof. Stevens requested all
teachers, present and prospective
attend the meeting.
