THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, WO THE MICHGAN__A_. SAUDANOEBE.5,15 GOBBLER'S DAY: Foreign Students Enjoy THE CITY BEAT ll Turkey in Local Homes By DONNA HENDLEMAN American students are not the only ones wallowing in the warm memories of home-cooked Thanks- giving feasts and traditional fami- ly fun. Thanks to the generosity of dozens of citizens in and around Ann Arbor, more than 200 foreign students from a dozen countries can also retain savory thoughts of tle gaiety surrounding Thanks- giving eating. THROUGH AN arrangement with the International Center, students were welcomed into homes all over town, where they shared the food and festivities of the celebrating natives. Triton Society. Will Sponsor Film Series A new series of art films will soon be brought to Ann Arbor, Sponsored by the newly formed student Triton society, the movies will be the best in experimental, documentary and other unusual cinematic productions, according, to Clay Bredt, '51 A&D, art di- rector of the society. The first of the art film pro- grams will be shown Friday in Lane Hall. Included in this pro- gram will be a surrealistic psy- chological study, a dance film1 interpreting a dancer's anxiety* before starting her theatre rou- tine, a French film on the Resis- tance movement and a film de-1 picting a symbolic interpretation1 of a man's love. "The Triton society was formed1 by a group of students who recog- nized a need for more art film showings," Bredt said. They have arranged with a well-known art cinema distributor to provide them with productions, and, if de- mand warrants it, films will be shown steadily throughout the year. Proceeds will all go to the World Student Service Fund. "We want to provide campus audiences with high - class movi'est which are now too rare in Ann Arbor," Bredt said. N- This is the third year that the Center has arranged such a dinner program, and it was the most successful so far, according to Robert Klinger, student coun- selor at the Center.. "This is the first time that we- could place everyone in private homes," Klinger said. "And what is even more gratifying, we had invitations left over after every- one had been placed. We really ap- preciate the fine response that the community has shown to this part of our program." THE PARTICIPATING students had nothing but praise to offer for the hospitable families and the Thanksgiving tradition. Mehmet Akin, of Turkey, re- membered the family atmos- phere and the full table. "It seemed to me that I was in a ty- pical American home," he said. "The atmosphere was like a holiday, and all day the air smelled of turkey. I hadn't eaten any breakfast, and I was glad when I saw the table. It was so rich, and the turkey so big," he explained. "After dinner everyone sat around and talked,; but nobody could move; we were all so stuffed. And when I looked around, it seemed, that my hosts were all very sleepy, but' smiley," he remi- nisced. VERA KOROTON, '52, a dis- placel person originally from Uk- rania, spent her second Thanks- giving celebration in Ann Arbor Thursday. "The most wonderful thing about this holiday is the tradition of the family gathering together," she said. "The spirit that you feel is so warm and friendly." And Eton Suh, BAd, of Korea, termed his Thanksgiving feast the coming of a dream come true. "When I was in Korea I once saw a picture in an Ameri- can magazine which showed a family seated around a table enjoying a turkey dinner,' he said. "I wondered if anything like that could ever happen to me, and Thursday it did. It was like a dream," he declared. Fadhil Al - Janabi, University student from Iraq, was injured slightly in a two-car crash on Washtenaw Ave. near the city limits ,Thursday night. He was riding in a car driven by Kamal Abdul Shair, Grad., which crashedbhead-on into another car, driven by Elwood L. Cushing of Ann Arbor. Cushing's son was al- so injured in the accident. * * .* Attorney William A. Lucking filed a suit in circiit court yes- terday, charging that Ann Ar- bor is not a legally organized city, but "a mere voluntary as- sociation of individuals." Iucking asked the court to force a complete revision of the city charter to bring Ann Arbor under the provisions of the Home, Rule Act, and that the city's officers be adjoined from exercising any authority from a date to be set by the court. Ann Arbor firemen began a 63- hour work week last night, fol- lowing a decision for shorter working hours given in the re- cent election. The hiring of four new firemen was authorized by the city coun- cil earlier in the week' to bring the force up to strength, although Fire Chief Ben Zahn claimed that at least six new firemen were needed. Engineers Will At11tend Meeting Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the engineering college and eight pro- fessors of that college will attend the annual conference of the Am- erican Society of Mechanical En- gineers beginning Monday in New York. Dean Crawford will speak be- fore a group of University me- chanical engineering alumni of the New York area Thursday. Prof. Orlan Boston, chairman of the Department of Metal Process- ing, will deliver two technical pa-t pers and also preside over the Production Engineering session and the Research Committee on Cuttling Fluids. Game Broadcast University FM station WUOM will broadcast the Michigan-Ohio State game at 1:45 p.m. today. J4ill sue seew ,, . =: >X I ro rnLions Guard, 'Realm of Wonder' Behind the never-roaring iron lions guarding the gates of the Uni- versity Museums Building lies a realm of wonder and knowledge known chiefly to scientists and a few students required to take an occasional field trip through the building. Most students know little more about the museums than the legend of the lions and the virginity of University women. Thousands of coeds have filed past the building whiles the lions have maintained their silent vigil. However, very few of these coeds or their male counterparts have bothered to go inside. * * 4 * THE UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS Building houses four separate mu- seums. These are: The Museum of Zoology directed by Prof. J. Speed Rogers; the Museum of Palaeontology directed by Prof. Lewis B. Kel- lum; the University Herbarium, headed by Prof. E. B. Mains; and Disp lays CARLETON W. ANGELL, MUSEUMS SCULPTOR, MEASURES A MODEL FOR A NEW DISPLAY.I b A GUIDED TOUR OF 'U' MUSEUMS the Museum of Anthropology un- der the chairmanship of Prof. James B. Griffin. Although each is an indepen- dent unit, all the museums are devoted to 'a colimon principle set up by a former director, Pres- ident Alexander G. Ruthven, who was connected with the mu- seums movement for 30 years. President Ruthven believed that the museums' collections should serve a dual purpose and be used for research as well as instruction. FOLLOWING this principle the University Museums have become widely known among science scho- lars. The research staff of the four museums is now as large as the staff working in the building. Field workers are constantly collecting specimens and data, and prepar- ing them for use. The Museum of Zoology, for example, now contains among oth- er things the largest research col- lection of North American fresh water fish in the country, and more than 1,500,000 insects prepared for research study. Museums have a long history on campus. A University museum was initiated at the first meet- ing of the Board of Regents founding the University in Ann Arbor in 1837. It has been in continuous operation ever since. In 1849 the first groups of ma- terials were presented to the mu- seums. Among these were Mexi- can birds and alligators and fish of the Caribbean Sea. But, be- cause no building had been pro- vided for them, the collections were stored. However, when Henry Tappan became president of the Univer- sity he set aside the upper floors of the then newly-constructed Mason Hall for exhibits. There, the mu- seums' collections shared space with the art gallery and the li- brary.' * * * IN 1881 the Natural History col- lections were moved into a build- ing of their own. This was what is now the Romance Languages Building. With the increased fa- cilities and prestige given to the natural history collections, they' became known as the University Museums. The collections made their last move in 1928 into their present home, the University Museums3 Building. At this time President Ruthven was serving as director of all natural history collections. President Ruthven resigned in 1936 to devote all of his time to being president of the University,1 and Prof. Carl E. Guthe succeededl him. Prof. Guthe was the last director, however. When he left for a post with the New York State museums, the office of director of all mu- seums was abolished. * *I * THE INTER-RELATING activi- ties of the four museums are now handled by an Operating Commit- tee with Prof. Kellum as chairman. The committee is made up of the four 1ruseums' directors and the Prefect of Exhibits. In addition to the Operating Committee, and the staffs of the four museums, a University staff serves them all. Included in this staff is Museums Secretary Miss Geneva Smith, and Museums Sculptor Carleton W. Angell. Although less prominent than the researeh staff, the University museums also have an exhibit division. This is headed by Pre- fect of Exhibits Irving Reimann. This staff plans and organizes exhibits which they feel will in- terest all, and draws these from materials of all the University museums. .I OPERATING COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN, LEWIS B.

A DAILY PHOTO FEATU RE Story by Lila Ferrance Pictures by Carlyle Marshall The most .popular exhibit ac- cording to Reimann, is the wild- life zoo in back of the museums. T h e s'e particularly appeal to younger children and University students who enjoy watching the bears and snakes. ONE OF the most interesting ex- hibits, he feels, however, is the prehistoric mastoon which was found in Fort Peck, Montana. An expedition was sent from the Uni- versity to bring the specimen back. This was quite a gruelling pro- cedure as William Buettner who was part of the expedition re- calls. He remembered that It took eight weeks to chisel the specimen out of the rocks, and two years to prepare it for exhi- bition lying in the actual posi- tign in which it was found. Currently the exhibits are un- dergoing a modernization process to give them life and color Rei- mann said. Old fossils are being supplemented with dioramas in co- lor showing how, many of these fossils looked when they were alive more than 3,000,000,000 years ago. Much of the artistic work is bein done by George Marchand of Buf falo, New York. In contrasting the old type of museum with the newer, more col- orful type, Reimann said, "Mu- seum exhibits of the past were generally of a drab forbidding na- ture. Modern exhibit methods are intended to sustain the visitor in- terest and present intellectual fare in an attractive, simple manner." "Museums like many other things exist primarily to be used," he concluded, "and we feel that many more students could profit from the Museum's activities than do now."
