smx THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1951 Pa *'s STREET SCENES AIRED: On-Spot Reporter Returns - - - - By VERNON EMERSON The man on the street is back. And the man responsible for his return-locally at least-is WU- OM's on-the-spot-reporter, Bill Hill. * * * ALTHOUGH national radio hook-ups are once more airing programs designed to bring the listener the news as it happens, Hill is the only one to try out such programs in the Ann Arbor area. "We believe our listeners would rather hear the people who are making the news rath- er than one of our staffmen reading it," Hill said. Whenever anything that ap- pears to be newsworthy occurs, Hill shoulders his portable record- ing outfit and sets out to inter- view those involved on the spot. MOST OF his work is a little more leisurely, however. "Much of the material I use is for feature stories, such as interviews with interesting people and those in the know about current news," he said. Hill has used everyone from modern furniture experts to steeplejacks on his weekly news show. He gets his tips for stor- ies from local papers, friends and by just' keeping his eyes open. The reporter's biggest job is getting his interviews in shape for his 15-minute broadcast over WU- OM-WPAG at 4 p.m. every Wed- nesday. Before some interviewees settle down to a normal conver- sation on a subject, Hill may have to record yards of tape. Then he faces the job of cut-, ting the talk so that it will squeeze into its proper spot on the program. Hill still regrets that the pro- gram wasn't in existence before last spring when Haven Hall burned down. "That would have been perfect for an on-the-scene broadcast," he mourned. But since then Hill has swung the program into shape so that now it keeps him on the jump from one week to the next.

Or at least so says Richard Kraus, manager of the Student Legislature's Cinema Guild, who claims that he is staking what amounts to his life-a goodly por- tion of the Guild's liquid assets- on the probability that local audi- ences will agree with him. * * * THE IS THE first time the film, winner of the 1950 Venice Film Prize, has been shown in this coun- try outside New York, where it re- cently completed a long run. "I really had to mortgage my soul to get it," he declared, indicating that he was banking on Cocteau's art to draw the customers in. He cited instances of its universal appeal: For motorcycle enthusiasts, there are numerous shots of the classic fates roaring across the countryside on motorcycles. For the women, there is Jean Marais who has previously proved his male magnetism in Cocteau's{ "Beauty and the Beast." For mystery lovers, there are cryptic messages to decode. For travel lovers, the road to hell is painstakingly mapped out. For the men there is Maria Cesares, lush vamp. MODERN FILM VERSION: rpheus'To Begin Today Pwlowskis Death Loss To Aviation Death of Prof. Felix Pawlowski of the engineering college ended the career of a "pioneer in avia- tion and aeronautical engineer- ing," according to his colleague- Prof. Wilbur Nelson. Prof. Pawlowski's death Feb. 17 in Pau, France, was announced by engineering college officials yes- terday. He retired in 1946 as pro- fessor emeritus after 33 years in the aeronautical engineering de- partment. . Prof. Nelson termed Prof. Paw- lowski "one of the outstanding members of the college." "He and the University pioneer- ed with the first course leading to a degree in aeronautical engineer- ing," Prof. Nelson remarked. "Prof. Pawlowski was one of the 'early birds' a small group of avi- ators who flew before 1910." "Prof. Pawlowski was an inter- nationally recognized authority in his field and an honored member of many American and English scientific societies," Prof. Nelson said. TOP FOREIGN FILM-Jean Marais of "Beauty and the Beast" fame exhibits an unhealthy interest in Death as played by Marcia Cesares in "Orpheus" the Cinema Guild offering for the weekend'. * * *, '4 * * * For saddists and philistines there is a prolonged sequence of a poet being run down by a motorcycle cavalcade. And above all, Kraus stressed, for entertainment lovers, there is one of the most interesting and controversial movies of the year. Cocteau, poet and dramatist turned film producer, uses novel techniques in photography and direction which have made him the center of heated controver- sies in the past. "The Eternal Return," a modernization of the Tristan and Isolde legend stirred such a debate several years ago and there have been sharp criti- cisms mingled with the. general acclaim accorded his latest sally into the real mof antique legend in "Orpheus." --Daily--Burt Sapowitch ON THE SPOT-Bill Hill, WUOM's roving reporter, interviews Myroij Small of the University's extension service, for a future news program. Hill's show is designed to bring the listener the news as it happens. 'GREAT DEBATE': Voting Controversy Continues 'As J-Hop System Changes Read and Use Daily Classifieds _ By CHUCK ELLIOTT The controversial question of voting systems cropped up in the Student Legislature again this week, as the J-Hop Committee elections were changed to the straight nine-X system. For the past tew elections, the SL has been rotating systems, in an effort to determine the best one. The Hare system, as is used for choosing Legislature members, seemed to be most favored in the J-Hop race as well. * * * BY THIS system, a voter places a number after the name of a can- didate, in order of preference. Then, when the votes are counted tabulation goes according to the marks on the ballot. However, at the SL meeting, it 'Magie Flute' to Play T oday "The Magic Flute" will be per- formed again at 8 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Tickets for today's performance may be purchased at the theatre box office, which will be open from 10 a.m. until curtain time. How- ever, officials announced that all tickets for tomorrow night have been sold. Tickets are still available for the two performances of the opera on Monday and Tuesday nights. Spe- cial student tickets, costing 75 cents, may be purchased for these last two nights. was moved that the Hare system be discarded in favor of a plain X plan, in which each voter would mark nine candidates. A good deal of the debate on the issue centered on block voting. Tom Walsh, Grad., longtime SL member, blasted the proposal on the grounds that straight X vot- ing encourages organized groups pushing certain candidates into of- fice. * * * "VOTE TRADING is made much simpler; it is almost impossible for a single candidate to get into of- fice by campaigning on his own. He must ally himself with other candidates in order to effectively campaign," Walsh explained. However, Pris Ball, '51, legisla- tor who supported the change, minimized the danger of block voting. Saying that vote trad- ing can go on just as easily with the Hare system, Miss Ball re- marked "I don't believe that people block vote much anymore anyway. It's gone out." Walsh pointed out that the Hare system makes for a more repre- sentative committee, because each voter's ballot goes eventually to a single candidate. "Therefore, his vote counts for more." It was countered that "represen- tation is not so important on the J-Hop Committee. The idea is to elect a group of capable people, who will do a good job. Just be- cause you vote the Publicity chair- man into office doesn't mean that you are voting for a good J-Hop committee," Miss Ball said. The Camps Torct your t m I L Iv I YOU.
