'ESPRIT DE U.P.:'
Hiawatha Club Befriends
Upper Peninsula Students
By EVA SIMON
Among the first of the "I come
from-" clubs to rear its head
at the University, the Hiawatha
Club has for years been the local
center of "Esprit de UP."
The club was organized in 1937
to help Upper Peninsula students
find living quarters and acquire
jobs here. As more members join-
ed, it became largely a social or-
ganization.
* * *
DISBANDED DURING the war,
the club was reorganized two years
ago, and for the first time per-
mitted 'women to join its ranks.
Highlight of the group's social
activities are the Christmas par-
ties held in several cities of the
Upper Peninsula, to which alum-
ni and students from all Upper
Peninsula colleges are invited.
This year parties in Sault Sainte
Marie, Iron River and the Copper
Country are being planned.
THE HIAWATHA CLUB derived
its name from Longfellow's epic
poem "Hiawatha," whose action
takes place in the Upper Penin-
sula.
Educationalactivities have
now been added to the purely
social functions of the group.
Speakers from the University,
and schools in the Upper Penin-
sula are invited to talk on educa-
tion, industrial development and
communications in the Upper
Peninsula.
ONE OF THE major purposes of
the club is to promote better un-
derstanding between the residents
of the Lower and Upper Peninsu-
las, according to Ray Stenstrom,;
'52E, secretary.
To this end the club occasion-
ally invites students from the Low-
er Peninsula to attend its meet-
ings and exchange ideas.
F. C. Bald, assistant director of
the Michigan Historical Collec-
tions, will speak at the next meet-
ing of the club, 7:30 p.m. tomor-
row in the League. Possibilities of
transportation to the Upper Penin-
sula will be considered.
Conference To Be
Held By Educators
A conference-workshop for
school board, members will be held
from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday.
In addition to school board
members from Michigan, state and
"iational leaders in civic and edu-
cational affairs will participat in
the program.
Among those attending will be
Rep. John Lesinski of the 16th
Michigan district, chairman of the
House Committee on Education
and Labor and Sen. Don Vander
Werp of the Michigan Legislature,
;hairman of the Senate Education
Committee.
Early Prints
Exhibit Opens
Tomorrow
An exhibit of rare American
historical prints will open tomor-
row at the Clements Library.
The material, which includes
prints from books and separate
pieces, ranges from early poli-
tical cartoons to Currier and Ives
prints of American scenes.
Included will be an example of
one of the earliest American
woodcuts, now the state seal of
Massachusetts, dating from 1676.
It is believed to have been cut
by John Foster, the first Ameri-
can woodcutter.
There will also be a portrait of
Increase Mather, engraved by
Thomas Emmes in 1701.
It is the first copper plate por-
trait made in the United States.
Other features of the display
will be Paul Revere's engraving
of the Boston Massacre, Karl
Bodmer's Indian portraits includ-
ing the mezzotints in the Four
Kings of Canada series and ori-
ginal drawings by Thomas Walsh
and E. H. Suydam.
The exhibit has been prepared
especially for students in the fine
arts department.
By PETER HOTTON
Plans for a special meeting next
spring at the University are be-
ing drawn up at the Michigan
regional National Students As-
sociation convention.
The convention ends today at
Central MichigannCollege of
Education at Mount Pleasant.
Four students are representing
the Student Legislature and NSA:
Leon Rechtman and Legislators
Ed Lewinson, Tom Walsh and
Dorianne Zipperstein.
NEXT spring's meeting, NSA's
regular regional convention, will
incorporate a new twist in such
conferences by featuring discus-
sions on student rights andstu-
dent governments not only by stu-
dents but faculty and administra-
tion personnel from all over
Michigan.
Each group would have equal
representation, voice and pres-
tige at the discussions, according
to Walsh.
The faculty and administration
representatives would be presi-
dents and deans of all Michigan
colleges and universities, he add-
ed.
* * *
"NEVER HAS there been a
meeting of this kind in Michigan,"
Walsh declared. "In the recent
Michigan Conference on Educa-
tion held at the University, a
straw vote revealed overwhelming
support of the idea. The deans
and presidents agreed to en-
courage their schools to partici-
pate in the program."
The idea is also the first one
Uneimployed
Hit New High
DETROIT-(IP)-Record post-
war unemployment of 325,000 in
Michigan was reported today on
the eve of a return to work for
more than one-third of the total.
The Michigan Unemployment
Compensation Commission attri-
buted the new high total mainly
to belated effects of the steel
strike. Also listed as factors were
the recent coal strike and auto-
mobile industry shutdowns for
model changeovers and inventory
taking.
Unemployment stood at 168,000
in the state and was declining
when the first effects of the steel
strike were felt.
From all appearances, the latest
postwar unemployment peak will
not be threatened for a while at
least.
Even with coal miners on a
three-day work week, most ob-
stacles in the path of high pro-
duction in the auto industry
seemed to have been hurdled.

accepted by the conference from
a student's suggestion, he added.
The meeting would not be oneN
of students and a few faculty
"observers," or vice-versa, but one
in which each group would be able
to talk on the same level, Walsh
declared.
