TIE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, M&I0 ELL' 15UMILES AWAY: 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 NO ONE bothered to repair the E ngineers To Meet Today A meeting of the Ann Arbor En- gineer's Club will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3-G of the Un- 1on to discuss public health and sanitation facilities in Ann Arbor andt vicinity.

WALTZ A M-G-"M MASTRPE REP INT 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.

IFC Sing: Fraternities or sor- orities wishing to entertain fol- lowing the Interfraternity Coun- cil Sing on May 10 will be auth- orized to do so provided chaper- ons are listed in the Office of (Continued on Page 3) 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 charges after pleading guilty to reckless driving. A 19-year-old student, charged with using false identification to obtain intoxicants, informed the 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. Life Members Michigan Union life membership cards may be picked up now at the Union Business Office oi the ground 'floor, according to Elsa M. Staeb, bookkeeper. The cards are available for men who, by the end of this semester, - will have been on campus and paid full tuition for the equivalent of eight full semesters as civilians. Cards will not be mailed, she said. Stason Will Speak Dean E.
