TOP DOG NO LONGER:
Phi Delts To Oust Giant Pet
By JON SOBELOFF
It's definitely a dog's life for
Trevlac, Phi Delta Theta's mam-
moth great dane.
The Phi Delts have voted to do-
nate the monstrous animal, sup-
posedly the third largest dog in
the United States, to anyone who
will support him in the style to
which he is accustomed.
* * *
TREVLAC, according to John
Jenks, '53BAd., who took the 190
pound beast home with him last
summer, is accustomed to a couple
of quarts of milk, three eggs and
a big bowl of dog food plus as-
sorted bones and scraps every day.
* Jenks added that during his
summer stay the dog demolished
three screen doors, swept lamps
off tables with his tail when he
turned around and slowed traf-
fic when he appeared on the
front lawn.
Cause of the rift between Trev-
lac and the Phi Delts was his ex-
pensive food intake and the fact
that, when nervous, he isn't house-
broken.
Also, his barking, not confined
to any particular time of day or
night, drew complaints from Kap-
pa Alpha Theta sorority members
across the street that "their win-
dows buckle."
THE DECISION to oust the
good-natured canine came after he
developed a fondness for the bed
of one of the brothers who lives
downstairs.
Declaring that he or the dog
would have to go, the unhappy
fellow moved to have Trevlac ex-
pelled from the house. He was
backed up by a majority of the
Phi Delts in a close vote.
The impending expulsion will be
nothing new to Trevlac, whose un-
usual name is Calvert spelled
backwards. He has previously been
expelled by Phi Delt chapters at
Bowling Green and Michigan
State Colleges.
Sympathetic Phi Delts explained
that Trevlac, though essentially a
house dog, was "just too big." A
committee has been appointed to
find the oversized thoroughbred a
new home.
Henry Heil, '53, Phi Delta Theta
president, explained that anyone
with an elephant or a goldfish can
trade him for Trevlac with no
questions asked.
"We could keep an elephant out-
side," Heil explained.
Injunction Blocks

Kalamazoo County was blocked
Tuesday in its efforts to eliminate
a spreading hog disease when an

ordinance which prohibited feed-
ing of uncooked garbage to hogs
and required disposal of all gar-
bage by landfill.

FORMER county Prosecutor
Douglas K. Reading appeared sur-
prised yesterday at rejection by
the State Supreme Court of pis
move to declare Western Union
offices in the county a public nui-
sance for transmitting horse race
bets.
In a five-two decision Tues-
day, the court rejected both a
temporary injunction against
transmission of betting mon-
ey by the company and an order
requiring the firm to disclose
its records. The case was filed
by Reading in June, 1951.
The former prosecutor declined
comment on the high court's ac-
tion pending study of the deci-
sion.

raffles in the state shaped up in
the city yesterday as the Ann Ar-
bor Ministers' Association, execu-
tive committee of the Ann Arbor
Council of Churches and the Coun-

Ann *Arbor adopted motions
against the proposal.
Their reaction came on the
heels of formal organization

tional Committee, a group in-
cluding representatives of 24
local lodges, veteran's organiza-
tions and similar groups who are
working to get the legislation
passed.

American music can be a full
time job in Britain, as Heather
Bulman ought to know.
Miss Bulman, who visited Ann
Arbor last week on a tour of the
country, has the exacting job of
chief music librarian at the Ameri-
can Library in London-and the
duties of promoting understand-
ing of American music and facili-
tating the visits of American art-

Her main desire is to survey the
musical arts. During her few days
in Ann Arbor last week, she vis-
ited the opera workshop's produc-
tion, of "Faust,'" Prof. Maynard
Klein's University Choir and lec-
tures on American piano music by
Wiley Hitchcock, plus meeting
members of the music school fac-
ulty.
The young Britisher also made
her way to the Arts Theater Club,
noting with great interest the
growth of the arena theater in
America.Of the country in gen-
eral, she commented that the
most striking thing was the
"youthfulness of men holding jobs
of great responsibility, both in in-
dustry and the arts."

Buddhist Art
Shows Change
In Religions
The changes which have taken
place in the Buddhist figures of
China and India indicate a pro-
portional change in the religious
life of the people, Prof. Max Loehr
of the Fine Arts department point-
ed out yesterday.
In his lecture before the anthro-
pology club Prof. Loehr elaborated
on the various cultures which have
influenced the religious art of
North Asia and southeast Asia.
Using slides as illustrations he
showed the general decline of re-
ligious ,feeling among the people
as indicated by the ornate dress
of the figures and their lack of
asceticism in general.

"Political affiliation is the main
difference between the American
and Danish press," Johannes
Laursen of the Danish Informa-
tion Service said yesterday after-
noon. \
Laursen told student and fac-
ulty members of the journalism
department that the four major
political parties in Denmark each
have their own press. Consequent-
ly, in any town with a population
of 10,000 to 20,000 inhabitants
there are usually four newspapers
** *
THE FORMER Copenhagen
newsman pointed out that the
Danes have no newspapers with a
circulation comparable to Ameri-
can papers. "Our largest is 200,-
000," he said, "but there is one
newspaper for every 30,000 inhabi-
tants."
He attributed the large number
of newspapers to the sharp ideo-
logical differences of the parties.
"In Denmark there are no
chain newspapers," Laursen ex-
plained. "They are all owned
privately or by communities, in
which case they do not operate
for a profit." The nearest thing
to a syndicated column in Den-
mark are the "canned editorials"
that the parties put out for the
smaller papers, he added.
Commenting on the peculiarities
of the Danish press, Laursen re-
