PROFESSOR'S HOBBY:
Legacy of Toy Soldiers
Willed to Army ROTC
U' Officials Deplore Local Movie Dearth

The unusual hobby of a former
journalism professor has become
a novel and useful legacy for the
University ROTC unit.

Two lonely American sailors,
now serving somewhere in Korea,
have appealed to University coeds
for mail.
"All our previops acquaintances

technicians Charles E. Trout and
Fred G. "Griedenberg have written,
"and we find ourselves returning
empty handed from mail call after
mail call."

said. They guarantee responses

HAINES STARTED his collec-
tion as a boy with an accumula-
tion of original lead soldiers. From
this beginning, he made molds and
began to manufacture his own
copies, dressing them in authentic
costume. Colonel Charles Wiegand,
head of the University ROTC unit,
said that many are designed from
photographs and are exact repli-
cas.
In addition to building up his
collection, Haines devised a
"game of war which covered
his entire basement. He kept
careful records of battles and
simulated the maneuvers of both
present and past armies.
Among the most interesting
items in the collection are modern
reproductions of the soldiers of
Afghanistan and Abyssinia. Col.
Wiegand's favorites are the sol-
diers representing the French dur-
ing the Seven Year's War.
The soldiers will be used for ex-
hibition. They also provide a
means of demonstrating combat
formations in the classroom.

a project as he has suggested.
"I'm convinced that we should

little theatre and cinematic facili-
ties such as I have described, in
the near future, Prof. Mueschke
concluded.
DEAN OF WOMEN Deborah
Bacon pointed out that "what
Ann Arbor needs is a little thea-
tre to bring in good foreign films."
"A theatre with a seating capa-
city of about 500 people would be
ideal." she suggested. "Something
about the size of Lydia Mendels-
sohn would provide a constant
audience for good films of which
there is a remarkable dearth in
Ann Arbor," Dean Bacon added.
Both the Cinema Guild and
the Gothic Film Society are do-
ing an excellent ,job, she said.
There is a tremendous risk en-
volved, however, in scheduling
such films for Hill Auditorium,
while theatres are generally too
small."
"We must be careful though to
avoid treading on the toes of local
theatres who are making an ef-
fort to import good films," Dean
Bacon warned.
SIGMA NU'S DISPLAY PLACED FIRST IN THEN
GO JUNIOR BIRDMEN:
Moon Excursion Possibilities
Foreseen by 'U' Astronomer
By HELENE SIMON
A thin aluminum cover on a
rocket ship would protect it from
collision from meteors, thus elimi-
nating one of the hazards of space
travel, a noted astronomer sug-
gested at the First Annual Sym-
posium on Space travel at the
Hayden Planetarium.
"Although it is impossible at
the moment to send rocket ships
to the moon, with hard work and
money that day may not be far
off," Stanley P. Wyatt of the as-
tronomy department declared.
"A ONE-WAY trip to the moon
is within the resources of present
day engineering, but before it will
be possible for people to make the
trip new inventions will have to
be devised,"he added.
Wyatt described what such a
trip would be like.
"It would be convenient to make
the trip during spring vacation,
for it would take four' days to get
to the moon," he said. The best
place to leave from would be a
mountain top on the equator, be-
cause the earth rotates fastest at
the equator, and by taking off
from a mountain top much of
atmosphere would already
passed through.

18 Sponsors
Cinema Guild has aninounc-
ed the 18 campus groups se-
lected to co-sponsor movies for the
rest of the school year. The or-
ganizations were selected from 27
who petitioned on the basis of
relative financial need.
Co-sponsors will be: Hillel, Rifle
Club, Central Pep Rally Commit-
tee, Sociedad Hispanica, Inter Co-
operative Council, UNESCO Coun-
cil, Sigma Delta Chi, Inter-Frater-
nity Council, Panhellenic Council,

the week following the start of
the Korean war in June, 1950, the
Associated Press reported yester-
day.
The market had been on the
advance from June of this year.
until the middle of October, but
yesterday the AP average showed
that 49.6 per cent of that gain
had been wiped out.
PROFESSOR Douglas A. Hayes,
of the School of Business Admin-
istration commented that the de-
cline is a result of two factors:
a normal reaction from the mid-
October high point and the bad
earnings reports being published
by most companies for their third
quarter and nine months periods.
News of the slim Tory victory
in England failed to produce a
bouyant effect on the market
which declined Friday, the day
election results were posted.
Bethleham Steel and General
Motors had very poor third quar-
ter reports with GM profits cut in
.half for this period as compared
with last year. However, oil stocks
reporting much improved earnings
were not exempt from the decline.

SUNDAY NIGHT SPECIAL
Staff Meeting
President Harlan H. Hatcher
has called a special meeting of the
general faculty, including teach-
ing assistants and fellows, in or-
der to extend his greetings to them
and discuss matters of "funda-
mental importance to the Univer-
41ty."
The meeting will be held at 4:15
p.m. tomorrow in Rackham lecture
hall.

the desired speed-seven miles a

period the people in the ship would
weigh four times their original
weight.

The travelers would have to
be strapped to their seats, or
else they would float freely in
space, because their weight
-now would be zero.
Eating would present another
problem. Solid foods like toast
wouldn't be too hard to eat, but
any crumbs that might drop
wouldn't drop but continue to
float around.
The only way to make a landing
on the moon would be to turn the
rocket ship around, put forth a
blast of power, and land it on its
tail.
The whole idea of a journey to
the moon may seem far-fetched
now, but, Wyatt says, "It will
come someday."
