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. Student Radio A student-operated radio net- work broadcasts daily under the banner of UWR, University Wired Radio. 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.
