WELCOMING the new members,
Dr. Louis A. Hopkins, president,

deal of scholarship and charac-
er to the symbols of the society.
Prof. G. B. Harrison of the
English department presented
the address, "the Study of Lit-
erature."
In his speech, Harrison express-
ed the belief that literature is the
ssential prerequisite to all learn-
ng. Especially valuable, in his op-
nion, is the study of literature
without regard to "that gloomy
basement smell that clings to the
name of good books." To encour-
age a well-rounded life, literature
is important, Harrison said. F

MANY TOWNSHIP residents
have previously objected to the
closing because of the mystery
surrounding Hanna's request.
There has been considerable
conjecture that the land may
be used as an automobile prov-
ing ground.
The board's action climaxed 10
months of hearings, arguments,
study of testimony, and discussion
by the members of state laws con-
cerning the abandonment of pub-
lic roads.
ELMER MAYER, member of the
Board of Supervisors road commit-
tee, upheld the right of the com-
munity's residents to know what
the land would be used for.
Albert J. Parker, attorney for
the commission, assured Mayer
that legally the use of the land
is none of the community's busi-
ness.
Before the vote the commission
was informed that a check for
$40,000 would be turned over to
the Road Commission by Hanna
"with nostrings attached" for the
improvement of county roads.
It is still possible for a resident
of the county to file a suit in cir-
cuit court asking for a review of
the commission's stand, according
to Parker.
Course Offers
T raining for
Dental Work
Dental hygiene students are
one of the most unusual and
little known groups among the
University's schools and colleges.
A part of the School of Den-
tistry, the dental hygiene depart-
ment is one of 17 schools
in the United States which pre-
pare women for work in a den-
tist's office. J
* * ' *
THE TWO-YEAR course trains
women to clean and inspect teeth,
chart cavities, take X-rays, and
teaches them the sodium fluoride
coating process, as well as such
office duties as typing, book-
keeping, and the ordering of sup-
plies.
When the course is preceded
by two year's preparatory work
in the literary college, the
graduate is qualified to work
in the public schools.
a During the four semesters of
work in dental hygiene emphasis
is placed on anatomy, biological
chemistry, bacteriology, and nu-
trition.
The first semester anatomy
course includes dissection work on
cadavers. A dental anatomy
course, in which students are ex-
pected to carve a partial set of
teeth, is also called for in the
curriculum.
At the beginning of the second
semester the fun begins - the
women begin their practical cli-
nic work on patients. Each stu-
dent spends approximately three
afternoons each week in clinic,
under the supervision of qualified
instructors who check the patient
as he enters and leaves.
Army Needs
Trained Grads
College graduates who have spe-
cialized training in technical fields
are critically needed by the Army,
according to Col. Karl Henion,
commanding officer of the Uni-
versity Army ROTC.

Positions are open in physics,
chemistry, meteorology, geography,
civil engineering and nuclear phy-
sics for all those interested in an
army career, Col. Henion reported.
Applicants must have a master's
or doctor's degree; or bachelor's
degree with at least three years
practical experience in their tech-
nical fields; active service with the
the armed forces prior to Sept. 2
1945; and must not have passed
their 27th birthday.
Those interested can obtain fur-
ther information at North Hall.

A long thin strip of paper can
do something that schoolbooks,
wives and wailing fire sirens can't
-break up a pool game.
The Western Union sports tick-
er-tape in the Michigan Union
pool room does this every once in
a while, gathering quite a crowd
about the desk as it brings over the
latest sports news from all over
the country.
'9- * *
IN A SERIES of terse abbrevia-
tions, end of inning scores of both
major leagues and college baseball
games jerk through the glass-en-
closed ticker where they are ob-
served and chalked up on a large
score board by the desk clerk. It
also carries home runs, starting
batteries, and the winning and los-
ing pitchers.
The ticker also covers pro-
fessional golf, boxing, football,
and all the collegiate sports, but
it does not give race-track re-
sults.
It enables the Union to post
more than 100 football scores on
its giant scoreboard during the
fall Saturday afternoons. This us-
ually attracts students who want;
to know how some of the smaller'
colleges made out without waiting
for the Sunday papers.
THE TRIP the average baseball
score takes was revealed by E. D.
Whitesell, manager of the Ann Ar-'
bor Western Union office. "From
the game it goes by direct cable to
Chicago, the nerve-center of the
system, to be sent all over the
country. Then it's relayed to Cleve-
land almost instantaneously, and
from Cleveland it comes to Ann
Arbor and the Union," he said.
The Union doesn't have the
service all year, Leo Kennedy,
manager of the pool room said.
It begins with the world series
and lasts through the football
season. Then it's shut off until
baseball season begins.

* * *
THIS IS the first appointment

maintaining a position in the Uni-
versity for a "woman of acknow-
ledged ability."
Miss Peak received a Bachelor
of Arts degree from the Univer-
sity of Texas in 1921, a Master
of Arts from Radcliffe College

department at Randolph Macon
Woman's College before accepting
her position at Connecticut Col-
lege.
HENDERSON, deputy commis-
sioner of education for New York
state, was appointed to the posi-
tion of professor of higher edu-
cation.
He will begin his duties of

College faculty, and in 1936 he be-
came president.
He held that position until 1947

Alumni Memorial Hall has be-

simultaneous showing of three ex-

While the prints of contempor-
ary artist Howard Cook hang on
the walls of the West Gallery,
Buddha and other Oriental Gods

Drum Majors
To VieToday
Baton twirlers from 11 states
will strut across Ferry Field from
1 to 5 p.m. today in the Univer-
sity's National Drum-Major Con-
test.
The participants, ranging in
grades from junior high-school
students through college, will be
judged on their performance in
four categories; twirling funda-
mentals, baton signals and voice-
;ommands, routine twirling, and
aerial throws and marching.w'
Gold and silver medals will be
awarded to the best performers
from each school level.
The contest is open to anyone
interested throughout the nation.
However, the majority of the par-
ticipants are usually the winners
of previous state contests.
Men's Glee Club
Announces Grants
Three cash awards of $100 each
to "aid students whose need and
service to the school merit it" have
been announced by the Men's
Glee Club.
Any male student enrolled in
any branch of the University with
a "C" average is eligible for one
of the awards.
The awards are based on the
need and extra-curricular activi-
ties of the student and are not
limited to members of the Glee
Club.
All appications for the stipends
must be handed in by noon, June
1, to the Men's Glee Club, 1020 Ad-
ministration Building, according to
Phil Steding of the Club.

um's famous collection of Japanese
prints.
The Tibetan banners, a treas-
ure of the Museum of Anthro-
pology, were purchased with
University funds in 1934 by Wal-
. ter Koelz while on an Asiatic
excursion for the University Bo-
tanical Gardens.
Prof. Gene Paul Slusser, direct-
or of the Art Museum, and Mrs.
Kamer Aga-Oglu, assistant curator
of the Oriental Division of the Mu-
seum of Anthropology both agree
that it is extremely difficult to de-
termine the date of the banners
since the Tibetans, painting in the
same tradition for centuries, con-
tinuously use their deities as sub-
ject matter.
* * *
IN COMPARISON to the rather
sedate Buddhas, the most dynamic
banner is the one portraying Pal-
dan Ihamo, Defender of the Law,
and the only feminine member of
the Dharmapala Gods. She is pic-
tured, astride a mule covered with
the skin of her son, riding over a
sea of blood, strewn with corpses,
black animals a n d symbolic
flames.
These banners, painted on
cotton,scanvas and silk, were or-
iginally intended to grace teia-
ples, homes and religious pro-
cession.
Included in the banner exhibit
are several charm boxes and orna-
ments which Prof. Slusser acclaims
as superb examples of Tibetan
craftmanship.
THE JAPANESE print collection
in the South Gallery consists of
some of the finest works of To-
yokuni, Hokussai and Hiroshiga.
Done in the 17th, 18th and 19th
centuries, these prints When first
shown exerted a considerable in-
fluence upon our earlier modern
Western painters such as Tou-
louse-Lautrec and Van Gogh.
In the hall outside the Gallery
are 75 examples of Japanese pot-
tery from the collection, of the
College of Architecture and De-
sign. Because of their great sim-
plicity of design they are quite
similar to the best of modern
pottery.
Bringing the focus of attention
back to the modern era are the
lithographs, etchings and wood-
cuts of Howard Cook yA well
known mural painter, water color-
ist and print-maker, Cook resides
in New Mexico and uses many lo-
cal scenes for his subject matter.

nedy said, "a ticker was the only
way of getting the sports news
from all over the country. There
used to be one in almost every
bar and barbershop. I think the
Union has had the service ever
since the building was built," he
added.
THE TICKER is the familiar,
glass-encased type first used in
the stock exchanges. In recent
years this has proven too slow for
the increased business of the ex-

to evoke a high stage of excite-
ment in Union men waiting for the
results of close games.
In fact Bob Mitchell, '51E,
desk clerk, has a hard time keep-
ing some of the rabid fans out-
side the counter.
"The other day I had a dozen
Brooklyn and Boston fans leaning
at a 90 degree angle, trying to
read the tape as it came out.
Somebody's going to break his
neck like that some day," he said.

By CARA CHERNIAK
Present day University students
become excited over pep rallies
and communist debates, but the
student of years ago seemed to
favor a different type of diver-
sion.
He was not adverse to public
demonstrations; in fact they were
a normal part of his college car-
eer. Over a period of years these
included setting fire to a circus,
mass bolting of classes, and
wrecking a theatre.
THE CIRCUSES before the
turn of the century had a peculiar
effect upon students.
In 1892 the King and Frank-
lin Circus, one of the largest on
the road at that time, played
Ann Arbor. The evening of its
performance about 300 students
formed a long snake-line and
tried to "rush" the gate.
The circus officials were un-
Union Life Cards
Still Unclaimed
A number of Union Life Mem-
berships have not yet been claim-
ed, according to Union officials.
The Life Memberships are avail-
able to all men who have attended
the University for eight semesters
and may be picked up at the Un-
ion Business Office in the base-
ment of the Union.
It was also announced that Un-
ion Student Offices closed yester-
day for the remainder of the se-
mester.

sympathetic to this time-honored I
tradition, and a riot began.
* * *
UP-ENDED gasoline torchlights
set fire to the circus tent, and the
riot was not put down until the
militia and the fire department
had been called. Even then it re-
quired the fire hose to separate
the fighting students and circus-
men.
No other circus played Ann
Arbor for several years after-
ward.
Even at an earlier date, the cir-
cus also seemed to inspire stu-
dents to recklessness. In 1871
when Van Amburgh's Circus
played Ann Arbor, most of the
student body bolted classes to see
it.
As a result many truant fresh-
men -and sophomores were sus-
pended from the University.
* * *
STUDENT demonstrations were
not limited to the circus, however.
In 1908 a riot began at the Star
Theatre, a small vaudeville house,
when students protested against
being told to quiet down by the
manager.
The students wrecked the
theatre, ripping apart seats,
which they threw out the win-
dow, tearing down curtains,
and taking turns punching the
manager.
All of which seems to prove that
college life today is not what it
used to be.

titute" and "Detective Story," ap-
pears as the liberal daughter of
the Winslow family. Keith-Johns-
ton, the father, is a noted actor in
England and America. He has
starred in "Journey's End" and
"Dangerous Corner."
The plot of "The Winslow Boy"
revolves about the trial of a small
boy who is unjustly accused of
stealing in a British naval aca-
demy. The father's determina-
tion to clear his son of the in-
dictment nearly wrecks his fam-
ily's security. Playwright Ratti-
gan created his play out of the
famous Archer-Shee case of Ed-
wardian England.
Rathbone, as the jurist who fin-
ally takes over the case for the
Winslow family, conducts an im-
promptu examination of the boy
to determine for himself the
child's innocence or guilt. This
scene has been called one of the
most exciting ever written for the
stage.
* * *
WHILE REHEAfRSALS are in
progress for "The Winslow Boy,"
"Born Yesterday," starring John
Alexander and Joan Morgan, will
close its run with a matinee at
2:30 p.m and an evening perform-
ance at 8:30 p.m .today.
Tickets for Drama Season pro-
ductions may be purchased at the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
$3,000 Research
Grant Announced
University Secretary Herbert G.
Watkins announced today that a
grant of $3,000 has been received
from the John Harper Seeley
Foundation, of Ann Arbor, to es-
tablish the John Harper Seeley
Fund for Research in the School of
Business Administration.
The money is to be used for "re-
search projects in the School of
Business Administration, for pub-
lication of information obtained
from such research and for such
other research activities as may be
determined by Dean Russel A. Ste-
venson."
