'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. Continuing &e-CHISTMAS CLIARCE The (/y~a~eh i//* £lh 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. Dyson To Give T-wo .Lectures Ont Literature Mrs. Constance Dyson, princi- pal of Hillcroft College in Eng- land, will speak on "Some As- pects of Modern English Litera- ture" at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday in Architecture Auditorium. She will speak again at 8:00 p.m. on "Adult Education in Great Britain." The second lecture will also be given in Architecture Auditorium. The lectures are being spon- sored by the English department and the School of Education and Extension Service. Mrs. Dyson became principal of Hillcroft College in 1946. The col- lege offers a year's liberal edu- cation to working women from 20 to 45 years of age. She has been active in adult education in Britain since 1929. THE NSA conference at Mount Pleasant will discuss student rights in the college community and the scope and function of student government. Miss Zipberstein will leadt it panel on international activities, including foreign student hospi- tality, correspondence, exchange and relief; foreign travel and students' role in UNESCO. Erskine Childers, NSA nation- al vice-president in charge of in- ternational affairs, will partici- pate in this panel. Other programs of direct in- terest to University students will be the NSA Purchase Card Sys- tem and the discussion of the problem of communication be- tween student governing bodies. Prof. To Talk At Toronto U. Prof. Ralph Sommer, of tho School of Dentistry, will attend the opening of the postgraduate den- tistry program tomorrow at the University of Toronto. Prof. Sommer will address jun- ior and senior dental students on "Various Historical Influences in Dental Programs" and will meet with the local dental society to- morrow night.
