UNIQUE UNION RELIC:
Lone Spittoon Marks Vanished Sport
£ooh/nq in
with LEAH MARKS
By HARRY REED
The great American habit of
chewing tobacco, and the result-
ant ringing of shiny brass cuspi-
dors, has almost disappeared from
campus life.
But Frank Kuenzel, general
manager of the Union, has, in his
office, one of the last real cuspi-
dors in these parts. And he's got
his eye on it all the time.
* * *
"I REALLY WATCH that one,"
he said, "it's the last mark of a
truly man's men's club around
here, and I don't want it to go the
Way of the others."
Spittoons used to be sprinkled
about the Union, wherever ash
trays are today. Then as "chaw-
in" went out, the spittoons be-
gan disappearing too. "They
make handsome trophies for the
house," he explained.
One favorite trick used in ac-
quiring a cuspidor was the kick-
ing procedure, as Kuenzel de-
scribed it. A group of students
desiring a cuspidor would enter
the Union, select their prize, and
begin a heated discussion about
something while standing around
it.
AS THE DISCUSSION proceed-
ed, they proceeded, very slowly,
toward the nearest door, casually
nudging the chosen cuspidor along
as they went. Sometimes it would
take 20 minutes of gabbing and
kicking to get into position for
the final move, Kuenzel recalled.
"When they were close enough
to the door, it was simple enough
to gr'ab it, and run."
"After enough of them disap-
peared, we tried replacing them
Although radio and television
are often criticized for producing
programs on the moron level, such
accusations seem unfair in view
of the many educational as well
as entertaining shows which can
be found on-both Iedia.

type" shows is WXYZ-TV's"'Pulit-

SPITTOON KICKING-A student demonstrates the once-popular
art of spittoon kicking which has so decimated the Union's col-
lection of cuspidors that the one pictured above is the sole re-
maining specimen. It is guarded zealously in the office of Frank
F. Kuenzel, general manager of the Union.

with sand pots, and storing the
rest, but they seemed to dribble
away," he sighed.
* * *
AT PRESENT there are two
"flatties"-small green pans with
sloping tops descending to a nar-
row hole in the middle, in the
Union barbershop, but these are
adjudged vastly inferior by local
experts. They have absolutely no
tonal qualities at all. Kuenzel's is
the old brass type with the wide-
flanged, deep-sounding top.
Although the last University
athlete to chew regularly was Jack
McDonald, '50, first baseman and
hockey goalie, most of the early
teams kept the spittoons ringing
regularly on campus. Even some
of the point-a-minute greats, Neil
Snow and Willie Heston, had been
known to borrow a plug now and
then.
Chances of a resurgence of
chewing on campus seem rather
dim, at present. Only half the
local drugstores- still stock either
plug or scrap, and the Union has
long abandoned it for the more
popular cigars, pipes, and cigar-
ettes. Sadly enough, another tra-
dition has gone the way of Mah
Jong and miniature golf.

Talk at Grass
Roots Caravan
Three faculty members of the
School of Natural' Resources and
several students will attend the
Grass Roots Conservation Cara-
van tomorrow, Tuesday and Wed-
nesday at Eagle River, Wisc.
James P. Adams, provost of the
University, will deliver the prin-
cipal address at this event, which
is sponsored by the American For-
estry Association. He will discuss
in part the accomplishments and
future plans of the new natural
resources school.
FACULTY members attending
the meeting are Dean Samuel T.
Dana, Prof. K. Davis and Prof.
Stanley A. Cain. Dana has been
director of the American Forestry
Association since 1935 and vice-
president for the past two years.
The Caravan will mark the 75th
anniversary of the American For-
estry Association and the 50th an-
niversary of the Canadian Forest-
ry Association. There will be seve-
ral field trips and tours through
the heart of the nation's forest
region.
Seniors in the natural resources
school attending the conference,
are: Russ McGregor, Bill Lord,
Dave Hoover, Bill Hobart, George
Hamilton, Dick Guth, Ted Peter-
son, John Bassett, Al Stage, and
Sandy Jones. Ed Sturgeon, Grad.,
and Will Brown, Grad., will lead
the group, which will leave this
morning and return to Ann Arbor
Thursday night.
Meader Declines
Dawson Debate
A Michigan Forum Committee
offer to sponsor a debate between
Prof. John P. Dawson, Democratic
candidate for Congress and George
Meader, Republican candidate for
Congress has been turned down
by Meader, according to Dave
Fraser, co-chairman of the Forum
Committee.
Prof. Dawson accepted the of-
fer, but Meader refused saying
that he couldn't find time because
he was already booked up, Fraser
explained. He was approached
through John Donaldson of the
Young Republicans, he said.
entertaining show present prize-
winning works or other material
written by journalists and literary
figures who have received the Pul-a
itzer Prize. A recent broadcast
featured George S. Kaufman's and
Moss Hart's "You Can't Take It
With You."
Although generally thought of
as just another show based on
situational comedy, "Halls ofI
"Ivy" with Ronald and Bonita
Coleman always manages to in-
clude some interesting observa-
tions. These are never too ob-
vious and are not allowed to in-
terfere with the smooth flow of
dialogue.
The program's depiction of the
average college campus is the only
reasonably accurate one in exist-
ance. It may be heard at 8 p.m.
Wednesdays over WWJ.
* * *
ANOTHER SHOW which meets
with the approval of the. more in-
telligent listeners is the "NBC The-
ater" which takes the air at 3
p.m. each Sunday over WWJ. The
quality of its presentations of fic-
tional "masterpieces" is so fine
that many colleges conduct home-
study correspondence courses bas-
ed on its weekly broadcasts. The
"Saturday Review of Literature"
is publishing criticisms of the
books which form the basis for
this piece of excellent listening.
Among the finest discussion pro-
grams on TV is "Mrs. Roosevelt
Meets the Public." Many other in-
telligent and interesting political
figures meet the public along with
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt at 3:30
p.m. over WWJ-TV.
Hayhow Elected
Press Club Head
E. C. Hayhow, editor of the
Hillsdale News, was elected presi-
dent of the University Press Club
of Michigan yesterday at the clos-
ing session of the Club's 33rd an-
nual meeting.
Other officers elected were
Glenn MacDonald, editor of the
Bay City Times, first vice-presi-
dent and Leslie Merritt of the Liv-
ingston County Press, second vice
president. Arthur L. Brandon, Uni-
versity relations counselor, will
continue as secretary-treasurer.
No More Changes
Changes for the faculty direc.
tory will no longer be accepted,
according to Mrs. Florence Boyd
of the Registrar's office.
Last Friday was the last day for
such changes, Mrs. Boyd said.
