Opportunities
For Part-time
FOR FRESHMEN TOO:
Students Vie for A nnual
Avery Hopwood Prizes
Work Ample
I
Many University students pay
part or all of their expenses by
working during summers or while
they are in school and job oppor-
tunities for students wishing part
time work during the fall semester
are readily available through the
Personnel Office of the Univer-
sity.
The Personnel Office in the Ad-
ministration Building aids stu-
dents in need of work through
contact with local business es-
tablishments, individual house-
holders, and various departments
in the University.
s* * ,vw
A VARIETY of jobs, from soda-
fountain work to animal care will
be open, according to Mrs. Betty
Gauss, University personnel inter-
viewer, and students may begin
to apply at the office as soon as
they have registered. When their
class schedule is known, working
hours can be fitted into the stu-
dents' programs in the most con-
venient way possible, she said.
Students desiring work in dor-
mitories, fraternities, sororities, the
libraries, League, Union and var-
ios departmental offices, must
apply directly, as the Personnel
Office does not handle this type
of work.
"In fact," Mrs. Gauss said,
"about 75 per cent of our calls
are non-University, from local
businesses and householders."
This work includes gardening,
painting, sales work, gas-station
attendant and restaurant work.
Non-academic unskilled Univer-
sity jobs handled by the Office
include picture-hanging, grounds
labor, and animal caretaking.
Students are advised to budget
their time carefully so that Work-
ing will not interfere with their
academic work. "Dormitory em-
ployment is recommended for
freshmen, since it fits in with
their schedule, and makes use of
time which otherwise might be
' wasted," Mrs. Gauss said.
Since 1932, there has been a
special competition for freshmen
in the University's famed Avery
Hopwood Contest, although the
original awards were for upper-
classmen only.
Accordingly, incoming fresh-
men with literary aspirations will
have the opportunity, near the
end of their first semester at the
University, to display their talents
in competition for the Freshman
Avery Hopwood Awards.
* * *
PRIZES OF $50, $30, and $20
will be awarded winners of the
1951-52 freshman competition in
essay prose, fiction and poetry.
Upperclassmen will be able to
submit their manuscripts during
the spring semester in competi-
tion for the major and minor
Hopwood Awards.
Entries are judged by 'members
of the English department, and,
in the major spring contest, by
prominent American literary fig-
ures.
Directed by Prof. Roy W.
Cowden of the English depart-
ment, the Hopwood contests for
both freshmen and upperclass-
men allow a wide range of sub-
jects.
Originated by the will of the
late Avery Hopwood, '05, million-
aire playwright, the directors of
the contest were instructed it was
desired that "students competing
for the prizes shall not be con-
fined to academic subjects, but'
shall be allowed the widest pos-
sible latitude," and that the new
and the unusual should be es-
pecially encouraged.
Hopwood willed more than
$550,000' for prizes in the annual
Hopwood writing contests which
began for upperclassmen in 1931.
* * *
MANY OF THE well-known
modern writers got their start by
way of Hopwood awards. These
authors include Betty Smith, au-
thor of "A Tree Grows in Brook-
lyn." Miss Smith was one of the
1931 winners for a play entitled
"Francie Nolan," the character
who later became the heroine of
her famous novel.
Another of the winners who has
since climbed the ladder to suc-
cess is Arthur Miller, '38, who has
won the New York Critics Drama
Award twice. Miller also received
the Pulitzer prize in 1949 for
"Death of a Salesman."
Manuscripts of previous win-
ners are on file in Rm. 3227 An-
gell Hall, the Hopwood Room.
. Last spring, 14 University grad-
uate and undergraduate students
split $7,100 in prizes for fiction,
drama, poetry and the essay.

A student-operated radio net-

SL Tug Week
To Pit Frosht
AgainstSophs
Freshmen will get a chance to
show both their physical prowess
and their class spirit when the
Student Legislature stages "Tug
Week" early in the Fall.
"Tug Week" activities will be-
gin with class rallies for the
freshmen and sophomore stu-
dents. The campus's first musi-
cal show of the year, "Soph Sa-
tire," will behpresented at Hill
Auditorium and take a humorous
look at some phase of University
life.
Begun three years ago, "Tug
Week" derives its name from the
tug-of-war between the freshmen
and sophomores that winds up the
week's festivities. Picked teams
from bothhclasses will grunt and
groan as they attempt to pull the
other side into the cold and
muddy Huron River.
