PROFS PLA Y PIONEERS:
Offices Move to Unfinished Quad

By RON WATTS'
The possibility of playing pio-
neer seemed silly to members of
the history and sociology depart-
ments until last Tuesday when
they moved into their new quar-
ters in the South Quad.
Then the possibilitybecame a
hard, cold reality. Their offices
were unplastered , and without
flooring, .lights, phones or heat.
* *
BUT THE situation has im-
proved. By this morning it was
expected that the walls would be
partially plastered, the flooring
would be in place and the heat
would be circulating.
Many of the instructors and
professors were puzzled by the
office migration when their
new home was not quite com-
pleted.
Prof. Burton D. Thuma, ad-
ministrative assistant to the dean
of the literary college, explained
that when the Tuesday moving
date was set, it was estimated
that the work would be completed
by then. "When we realized that
this would not be true, it was too
late to change the moving ar-
rangements," he continued.
* * * i
BUT REGARDLESS of the pre-
mature migration, many of the
staff thought the new quarters
were an improvement over their
temporary home in the basement
of Rackham Bldg.
"Rackham basement remind-
ed me of the big OPA offices'
during the last war-miles of
desks and no partitions," a his-
tory instructor remarked. "At
least we're surrounded by four
walls now."

STONE AGES?-Fighting the lack of heat in the South Quad
with top coat and muffler, a sociology department instructor
finds that he is unable to call his wife for a hot water bottle
because the office phone is not connected. The new offices of
the sociology and history departments are now located in the
South Quad.
* * * * *

Looking out of his smuggy win-
dow at the cranes and dump
trucks he said, "This is the best
spot a sidewalk superintendent
could wish for."
Many of the faculty were hav-
ing trouble directing their stu-
dents to the new offices. The
lack of office numbers and an
obscure side entrance reached by

a board walk make the explaina-
tion of office location difficult.
Several instructors resorted to
drawing intricate three dimen-
sional sketches on black boards.
One rather disgusted instructor
ended his explanation by saying,
"Just go west from State St. un-
til you reach the Beta's trash
pile, then turn left."


'Angelabra' Contest Won
By Guessing Magic Word

By DAVIS CRIPPEN
The great 'angelabra' contest has
come to an end-with only one
winner.
She is Miss Bertha Beck, secre-
tary to the director of the Uni-
versity's Summer Session.

Bowl' Train
Tune Changed
A change in schedule for the
Wolverine Club's Rose Bowl Spe-
cial was announced yesterday by
Larry Bloch, '53, Special Trips
chairman.
The. eastbound train will leave
11:15 a.m. Jan. 5, from Union Sta-
tion in Los Angeles instead of 12:01
s previously announced.
Bloch also reported that the
chartered bus to Pasadena would
leave at 7 a.m. Jan. 1 from LosI
Angeles' Clark Hotel in order to1
arrive at Pasadena in time for the4
Tournament of Roses Parade.
All persons who purchased grand
stand seats for the parade and are
taking the special train will re-z
ceive their grandstand tickets on
the train.
Others who bought parade tic-t
kets and are not going on the1
train may obtain their tickets fromX

Building by receptionist Dorothy
Legg.
In connection with the Christ-
mas decoration, the receptionist
started a "magic word" contest.
If anyone mentioned this word
in conversation with her, Mrs.
Legg would give them "a small
Christmas remembrance."
The word, Mrs. Legg disclosed
yesterday, was "star". Miss .Beck
was the only one of about 100 who
tried to hit the jackpot. For her
achievement, she received a pop-
corn ball.
* * *
MISS BECK explained her sec-
ret of success by saying, "I told
Mrs. Legg I was going to recite
poetry to her every morning until
I won."
On the first day, the winner
made up some of her own,
which didn't do the job. The
second day she said she thought
she'd recite "some real poetry,"
and tried the first verse of Lu-
ther's Cradle Song-"Away in
the Manger."
The line "The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay" turned
the trick and the result was the
cellophane wrapped popcorn ball,
which Miss Beck ,as decided to
save and open with the rest of
her Christmas presents on Monday 1'
morning.I

Hospital Life
Made Cheery
For Children
Hospital life is not all sad and
dreary for some 100 children who
are currently being cared for in
the University Hospital's pediatrics
department.
Some of the children lighten
their days by playing and studying
in the hospital school. Those who
are not so fortunate to be up and
around are helped by bedside re-
creational and school programs
managed by the hospital.
A RECREATIONAL department
staff member visits bedridden
children to tell stories or help with
games.
About thirty patients are in-
fants under two years of age
and the rest are children between
two and thirteen years old.
Though the Hospital's major aim
is to care for the children, the work
provides student nurses from the
School of Nursing with valuable
practical experience.
Though the nurses "learn by do-
ing", all their work in this and
other hospital departments is car-
ried on under supervision. The
regular staff of the pediatrics de-
partment consists of a supervisor
and 25 graduate nurses.
A dozen nursing studlents are as-
signed to the pediatrics depart-
ment at one time. Each girl spends
a month working in the ward for
babies, another month in the wards

Union Gives
Coeds Added
Privileges
The Union will depart furthe
from musty traditions today a
the first -weekend of the experi-
mental co-ed recreation plan be-
gins.
The weekend part of the plar
will allow escorted coeds the us
of three billiard tables and fou
ping-pong tables from 7 to 11 p.m
Friday and Saturday, and from 1
to 6 p.m. Sunday.
FOUR OF SEVEN bowling al-
leys will be available from 9 to 1
p.m. Friday, from 7 to 11 p.m. Sat-
urday, and from 1 to 6 p.m. Sun-
day to sports-minded coeds witt
Union men.
The swimming pool and steam
room are not included in the
coed recreational plan.
The Taproom and cafeteria will
be open from 7 to 11 p.m. both
Friday and Saturday nights tc
accommodate the few students
still on campus.
* * *
ALTHOUGH the plan got off tc
a slow start, by the end of this
week the number of men bringing
co-eds down to the Taproom was
increasing by leaps and bounds
The peak day was Wednesday,
with 22 couples sipping coffee and
dunking doughnuts at one time,
and numerous others dropping in
througho'ut the afternoon.

Major Repairs
Made; Union
Pool Will Open
For winter-swimmers, the long
trek to the IM building is over-
the Union pool repairs are finally
completed.
Originally scheduled to be out
of use for a month, while new
filter tanks and an automatic
chlorinator were installed, the job
stretched out to two and one half
months when it was discovered
that the pipes leading to and from
the pool yere badly corroded and
needed replacing.
* * * N
THIS IS the first major repair
job since the pool was opened in
1925, according to general man-
ager Frank Kuenzel. The pool has
been in continuous operation dur-
ing school, he said, with minor
repairs being done between the
end of summer school and the. fall
semester.
In the light of the additional
pipes and labor, the repair cost
has risen from $15,000 to $20,000
-almost the original cost of the
pool in 1925.
The showers and steam room
adjoining the pool also have been
repaired, but this was completed
by the second week of school, and
they have been in operation ever
since. The steam room received a
new coat of concrete, and two ex-
haust fans were installed to clear
away, excess steam in the locker
room.
Church Council
To Present Film
The Pilgrimage Play, via natu-
ral co'lor film with sound and dia-
logue, will be presented at Hill
Auditorium Dec. 28, sponsored by
the- Ann Arbor .Council .of
Churches.
The play was originally produc-
ed in Hollywood in 120 and has

since been given there regularly,
except for the war years. The mov-
ie of the play, with Nelson Leigh
in the leading role of Jehus, was
made last year.
Tickets may be purchased at the
Council of Churces office in Lane

Eight Named
To. Radiation
Committee
An eight man Radiation Policy
Committee has been appointed by
President Alexander Ruthven to
aid in standardizing the use of
atomic energy and high frequency
radiation materials and equipment.
Some of the specific problems
the committee will deal with are
health aspects of. personnel en-
gaged in research; handling,
transportation, storage and dis-
posal of radioactive materials and
wastes and the standardizing of
facilities and protective equipment
necessary for work with radio-
active materials.
Chairman of the committee is
W. Wayne Meinke, instructor in
the chemistry department. Other
members appointed are Prof. H. R.
Crane, of the physics department;
Prof. Henry J. Gomberg, of the
engineering college, and Dr. Frank
H. Bethell, of the Medical School.
Dr. Fred J. Hodges, of the Med-
ical School, Prof. Gerald M. Ride-

activities, selecting a site for the
Memorial building, a n d some
phases of carrying on the national
fund-raising campaign.
* * *
ONE OF the biggest jobs the
committee has is granting funds to
University faculty members who
wish to carry on research under
the Project.
So far there have been 11
grants made, all but one of them
to natural scientists. And seve-
ral pre-doctoral fellowships have
also been awarded to students
for the study of atomic energy.
Dean Ralph A. Sawyer, who
heads the planning committee,
noted, however, that as Phoenix
gets underway the study of the
Atom's effects on social sciences
will be expanded greatly.
PRESENTLY, members of the
graduate faculty are being con-
tacted by Dean Sawyer to deter-
mine new research projects that
can be undertaken now.
"Phoenix funds are limited at
present, so requests of $2,000 or
less for equipment, assistance,
travel and training are most ap-
propriate," Dean Sawyer said.
"But we wish to interpret the
scope of the Phoenix Project as
broadly as possible to cover the
various problems of the atomic
-age."
To date more than 150 research
investigations have been- proposed
to the committee for Phoenix
sponsorship when the Project
reaches its full stature.
1Until then the amount of work
the Project can do will be limited.
"Right now, the planning com-
mittee is, the Phoenix Project,"
Dean Sawyer said. But he hoped
that by next year a more formal
administrative set-up will have
been established.

Items .Listed
For Shoppers
By ATHENA SAVAS
Inexpensive gifts that will fit
into any budget or that will make
many small, festive looking pack-
ages under the Christmas tree,
present a problem to the average
shopper.
One magazine has attempted to
help the buyer with this problem.
It has devoted ten pages of a re-
cent issue to gifts that may be
bought for less than $5.
GIFTS FOR mother, sister or
any feminine relative or friend,
might include a small unique shell
hat pin, colorful terry guest tow-
els, lipstick, a small vial of per-
fume, gay hankies, a manicure set
including matching fingernail pol-
ish and lipstick, a gift set of hand
lotion, powder and cologne, or a
box of scented soap wafers.
Other suggestions are a quilt-
ed plastic sewing box with Seis-
sors, thimble and emery, wick-
er baskets that can be used
around the house, clear glass
tumblers, ashtrays, pencils, ear-
rings, scarf pins, or bracelets.
For under $2, many other gifts
are available. Suggested for the
younger women are plastic knit-
ting bags, perfume, cologne, mat-
ching lipstick and nail polish,
scented bath sponges, bright knee
socks, or stuffed animals for de-
corating bedrooms.
In the $2 to $3 range, gift sug-
gestions for the males might in-
clude cuff links, brush and comb
sets, after shave lotion, flash kit
and bulbs for his camera, or a
wood covered clipping book..

prize and a reward for the student
guessing the correct number of
pine scales on display in the Ad-
ministration Building.
THE BUNYAN "FORMAL" is an
annual campus tradition. Paul
Bunyan, the legendary northwoods
giant has long enjoyed the fame
that comes with being a man of
true might and fantastic size.
With rosy cheeks and black
curly hair, he seemed to be en-
joying a perfectly normal child-
hood, until he started to grow.
It seems that Bunyan grew at
the amazing rate of six inches a
day, and at the end of each week
he was 349 pounds heavier than
he had been previously.
Each week he tore out one end
of his shanty and added a dozen
feet to its length to make room for
himself, and every month he add-
ed an additional story to the ceil-
ing to keep from bumping his
head.
One night Bunyan dreamed of
an enormous blue ox who took the
top of a dozen spruce trees at a
single bite. The name of Babe was
bestowed upon this gigantic crea-
ture, and, thus, began the legeid
of Paul Bunyan and his blue ox.
