THE I MCICIGAN DIAITZY T O CORD-NO BANNER: Flag-waving on Campus Stopped by Pole-Maulers Mag-waving as an over- campus activity has rec drooped to a new low. In fact over one sector, Mall, it has ceased entirely. the- ently the IT'S NOT A LACK of patriot- ism which keeps Old Glory from flapping in the breeze as it used to do; rather, it's a lack of flag- pole cord. In other plainer words: Per- son or persons unknown have again sliced the rope on the Mall's flagpole by which the Stars and Stripes was hoisted up. Plant Department employees, Coercion of Jailed Man Confessed Sheriff John Osborn last week admitted in Circuit Court that he had encouraged a man to use vio- lence on a prisoner to obtain in- formation. This admission came during the retrial of Leo Maloney on a charge of assault with intent to rob. The charge concerned the shooting and robbing eight years ago of William Tompkins of Chelsea, ' * * * SHERIFF Osborn testified that the incident occurred in the county jail in 1942. He and the victim's brother, Eugene Tompkins, were questioning Maloney to find out where he had left the victim's car after the crime. Maloney refused to answer questions so Osborn handed Eu- gene Tompkins a heavy plank and advised him to use it on the prisoner to make him talk, ac- cording to the testimony. The sheriff later stated that this had only been a bluff. Maloney confessed to the crime a few hours after this occurred. * * * CIRCUIT JUDGE James R. Breakey, Jr., ordered the confes- sion to be excluded from the re- trial because it appeared to have been mnade under pressure. Maloney has served more than seven years of the original 40 to 50-year sentence. To Sew Up 'Lace It Up' "Lace It Up" needs some women to sew it up. "Lace It Up," of course, is the name of ,the 1950 Union Opera. And the opera staff needs women to sew costumes for the produc- tion, which opens Mar. 29 at the Michigan Theatre. "This' sewing job should pro- vide excellent experience for those women students who are thinking of getting married some day," opera staffman Jim Johns explained. A professional designer will su- pervise the seamstresses as they go into action on the costumes. Johns asked all interested wo- men to report at 4:15 p.m. tomor- row in Rm. 3G, at the Union. List Requirements For Hillel Council Six weeks work on a Hillel Foun- dation student committee, and participation in either the Hillel membership drive or the United Jewish Appeal drive have been made pre-requisities forhcandidacy for Hillel Student Council posi- tions, according to Lynn Guten- berg, council vice-president.

They have no leads on the identity of the clip- pers. Downtown at City Hall even less was known. In fac4t, a spokesman for the Polic Depart- ment declared that there had been no report at all of the in- cident to them. Though they certainly don't like what's happened, the men of the Plant Department do have 'a grudging admiration for the cul- prit. * * * "THEY HAVE to get a ladder in the first place to get to the cord." one official explained. Previous sorties against the ropes had resulted m the hook which secured them at the bot- tom of the pole, being moved a good distance up from the ground. In addition, following a similar episode last spring, rope with a copper core was bought to replace the cotton strands formerly used. * * * PLANT OFFICIALS have no idea when the flagpole will be put back in tip-top shape. Walter Roth, superintendent of plant, ex- plained that reinstalling the rope will have to be done by a Toledo steeplejack. But this specialist can't do the work in the cold weather that we've been enduring. However, when the steeplejack does feel that conditions are right, the most basic ingredient for a successful flagpole rope raising is at hand.
