THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1950 U GOES DOWN WITH 'U' HALL: Cast of 'Columbus Doors' Destroyed Garg Seeks Recognition; Holiday Issue Out Today 4y By BARNES CONNABLE A small bronze plaque is all that remains of what was once one of the University's most valuable his- torical relics. The descriptive plaque which is now in the possession of the Un- iversity Historical Collections, was, attached to the original casting of the "Columbus Doors" in the Capi- tol Building at Washington until the large plaster form was de- stroyed by razing crews last sum- mer. * THE CAST was "permanently Installed" in the wall of University Hall's main corridor and was de- stroyed when the building was torn down. It was the building's only sou- venir of historical interest which received such treatment. Most monuments were safeguarded by clauses in the razing contracts specifically reserving them. «' * * * Plant department officials felt it was impossible to move the cast of the bronze doors, which are still in their original form at the main entrance of the Capitol ro- tunda. Even if it could have been removed, it was too defaced to be of interest to art museums, offi- cials said. THE CAST designed by Ran- dolph Rogers in 1858 was given to the University by him in 1892 as the last in a series of gifts of origi- nal casts of his works. The doors were designed in Rome and cast by Von Miller at Munich. Shipped to the campus at a cost of $1400, the cast was placed tn the old Gallery of Art. Later it was moved to University Hall where it remained encased in a protective screen until its recent destruction. The doors, which were acclaimed by many critics. as the best of the Rogers productions, shows the life of Columbus and his voyage to the new world. They measure nearly twelve feet high and eight feet wide. * * * THEY ARE set in a deep frame With an announcement that they are planning to petition the Board in Control of Student Pub- lications for official recognition Friday, the editors of the Gar- goyle released the second issue of the outlawed magazine to be dis- tributed today. Because the humor magazine is not an official student publica- tion, it will not be sold on the campus proper. Vendors will get around this by selling near the Engineering Arch, in front of the Union, on the Pre-meds Will Hear Experts Air Problems Problems of the pre-medical student will be aired today at the Conference on Pre-medical Edu- cation at 7:30 p.m. in Kellogg Auditorium. Staffed by a panel 6f experts on various phases of student problems, the conference will discuss matters of curriculum, counseling and extra-curricular activities. Intiated by the Pre-med Soci- ety, the conference will include members of the faculties of the Medical School and ,the literary college. It will be organized along the lines of a panel discussion fol- lowed by a question period. According to Dean James H. Robertson of the literary college, who will serve as moderator, the conference hopes to present a series of suggestions for the stu- dent to think about. The student should arrive at an answer which applies to his own case, Dean Robertson added. 1 Specific questions have been preparedfby the Pre-med Society for the panel to consider. Some of these questions deal with techni- cal vs. non-technical concentra- tion for pre-med students and the length of time that a "particular i advisor should spend with a par- ticular student. corners of N.

The plaster replica of the bronze doors in the Capitol Building at Washington was destroyed along with University Hall. State, E. University and N. University. A good portion of the issue is devoted to local and Christmas features. Comic artists Bill Al- brecht and Dick Wagner have done a Dick Tracy take off called "Twic Twathy, Campus Cop." University objective tests have prompted junior Dave Palmer's "Testing, 1, 2, 3." Daily photographer Jack Berg- strom '52, has created the photo page "Garg Goes Christmas Shop- ping," with illustrations by Bill Hampton, Garg faculty adviser. A football feature on Garg going to the Rose Bowl will appear un- der the heading "California Here We Come," by Jim Eldridge, '52. A full page picture of a brun- ette Kappa Delta will appear as the second of a campus beauty series. "We're running more jokes and cartoons than we did last month," Bob Uchitelle, '51, managing edi- tor, said. "We're not selling on campus-but we've got another sellout coming up." Lampoon Pays For Vulgarity A Cambridge, Mass. Court re- cently fined the Harvard Lam- poon, university humor magazine, $100 for "distributing obscene lit- erature." The Lampoon decided last Oc- tober to train its sophisticated talents on a parody of "midwest- ern college humor magazines"-a type of publication they felt smacked of a somewhat earthy character. Seizing upon a mythical Ponca City, Iowa, home of equally mythical Ponca College, they pub- lished the "Ponca College Pon- toon." All went well, including the chortles of the Harvard student body, until last Oct. 27 when the parody edition hit the streets of Cambridge. For the police, taking a dim view of the Lampoon's ef- fort, jailed every newsboy found selling the "Pontoon" and before the week was out the Lampoon's editors were facing the "obsceni- ty" charge. After a short furor followed by adverse publicity and the reproofs of outraged alumni, The Lampoon editors appeared before the au- thorities, admitted the error of their ways, and apologized for their wayward parody. Officers Named The annual election of officers meeting of the Ann Arbor En- gineers Club was held in the Un- ion last night Elected to the following posi- tions were: president, Ernest J. Allmendinger; vice-president, William Malecki; treasurer, Roger G. Morey; and secretary, Paul M. Connable. Clifford T. McIntyre was elected to the board of di- rectors. Generation Will Accept New Scripts Generation will now accept contributions in drama, fiction, es- say and poetry for its second is- sue, according to literary editor Sue Siris, Grad. All material must be submitted by Dec. 20. It may be put in the Generation office on the first floor of the Student Publications Bldg. Students interested in working on the staff should attend the Z p.m. meeting Wednesday, Miss Si- ris urged. 10 More Shopping Days Till Christmas Plans for Marching Band's Rose Bowl Trip Announced D.

Extra Buses Will Relieve holidayRush In order to relieve Christmas traffic congestion, the Wolverine Club has chartered buses to trans- port those students who are flying from Willow Run Airport Dec. 22 to the airport. As many buses as are needed to meet the demand will be put into service, George Benisek, '52, club publicity chairman has an- nounced. RESERVATIONS for the rides, which will cost $.46, can be made at the Union Friday from 1:30 to 5 p.m. In order that the number of buses needed and the departure times may be estimated, Benisek has requested every student who plans to take advantage of the bus offer to send a post- card to the Student Affairs Of- fice stating his name, Ann Ar- bor address and flight. ** * FOR THOSE students planning to go to Pasadena, Rose Bowl train reservations may still be made through this week, accord- ing to Benisek. The club's streamliner will leave Chicago Dec. 28, making the westward trip by a southern route, and arrive in Los An- geles on Dec. 30. For the return trip by a central route, the special will leave L2os Angeles on Jan. 5, arriving in the Ann Arbor station on Jan. 7. Round-trip coach fare will be $99.50, pullman will be $130, a saving of about $40 on either reservation, Benisek said. The train will make stops at major points along the route, and student can board the train at any of these stops, he added. The club also has information on Michigan get-togethers while at Los Angeles for anyone inter- ested. All reservations can be made from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Administration Bldg. IFC Petitions Due Petitions for office manager and publicity chairman of the Inter- fraternity Council are due by 5 p.m. tomorrow at the IFC office in the Union. Old Hitching Posts Still Stand in Ann Arbor . . ,. . AT ALL.DRUGOUNTEM 0a. VAI.Pat, Oa., Several tarnished hitching posts still stand in Ann Arbor as silent reminders of the past, when every- one was hitching his wagon 1to old Dobbin and doing the town in a horse and buggy. One of the most attractive posts in the area which has survived the mechanical age stands in front of the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. James, 712 E. Ann. THE HOUSE itself has an in- teresting history, being one of the oldest in Ann Arbor. At one time it was owned by Altheus Felch, first governor of Michigan. Two more posts-relics of the pre-Ford era-can be found on Williams, one resembling a cac- tus on the corner of Fourth St., the other shaped like a horse head at the corner of Division. None of the occupants of the surrounding neighborhoods have any recollection of these posts, ex- cept that they have "always been there." ANOTHER POST at 1341 Ged- des, in the form of a branch, was installed about 60 years ago by' contractor William P. James. His neice, who still resides in the neighborhood, can recall seeing it used by customers and friends. Old prints of the city show that at one time hitching posts of all shapes and sizes dotted both residential and business sections.' When James B. Angell, late' president of the University, oc- cupied the house in which the Ruthvens now reside,- there were two hitching posts and blocks to aid in mounting either horse or carriage. * * e THESE were removed, however, several years before the Ruthvens took up residence there, the lat- ter occupants preferring the car to the horse. * * * A LARGE watering trough with a low level basin where dogs could drink, remained in its original Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests I-nm YIAKN Na u.... -- r IN Wm W * m a w - m nm numaer 7.". -Daily-Roger Reinke HITCHING POST RELIC OF BYGONE ERA .* * * 4 position in front of the Court House until recent years. This trough was presented to the peo- ple of Ann Arbor by James Bab- cock, an old-time resident. An Ann Arbor Historical So- ciety was formed many years ago in an effort to preserve records and relics such as these hitching posts for future gen- erations. Mrs. W. I. Grooms, president of the group, reports that the Soci- ety has several pieces of old fur- niture, including the first piano shipped west of the Allegheny, " An Argus can but at present they are in storage gift . . . a consh because the Society has no place " .", good taste... . a to display them.
