WHO FEEDS THE ANIMALS?
Unsolved Mystery Shrouds 'U' Zoo
By RONA FRIEDMAN
A mystery at the University's
Animal House remains unsolved
after a year.
An unknown person has brought
food for the animals practically
every night during the year. The
contributions included a turkey's
foot, sausages, ribs and large bones
of an unidentified variety.
The animals for the most part
do not touch the food, yet the per-
son continues to make his futile
nightly pilgrimages. The student
attendant in charge.of the animals
reports that checks are sometimes
made in an effort to find the mys-
terious food carrier.
Nightly investigations, how-
ever, have not solved the prob-
lem since the cages are always
empty upon examination. How-
ever, when morning rolls around
the food has strangely appeared.
The seemingly insolvable occur-
ances continue to mystify the zoo
keeper who can find no motivation
for the action.
A secondary mystery of longer
standing shrouds the zoo. It is still
unknown who was the original do-
nator of the Animal House. One of
the main reasons for its founda-
tion was to entertain and instruct
the children in the Crippled Child-
rens' Hospital which was located
where the ROTC Bldg. now stands.
The Zoo only contains animals
whose natural habitat is in the
State of Michigan.
However, a wolverine which is
now found only in Alaska and
Northern Canada was donated
to the "U" football team by an
automobile company. The foot-
ball team in turn gave it to the
zoo when it grew too big to man-
age. The Wolverine died three
years ago and so far no one has
offered to donate another one.
t"The animals are just like hu-
mans," observed Stwart Lowther,
Animal-House Attendant. They
would make an interesting study
in group dynamics."
"Though the animals are like
humans," he added, "they do not
show the excessive cruelty that
one finds in some people.
"Someone killed all the snakes
last summer with a sling shot or
B-B gun. People also throw peb-
bles, rocks and even money at the
animals. Perhaps the animals can
be said to be more humane than

WITH COLOR and music used
to create a poetic atmosphere,
Lorca named his characters by the
colors of the clothes they wear.
The plot revolves around a
middle-aged shoemaker and his
young, attractive wife. The shoe-
maker deserts her when the
town's young men respond to her
flirting by trying to win her af-
fection.
Prof. Ermedindo Mercado of the
Spanish department is directing
the comedy with Connie Pokela,

Restrictions.
In Housing
Investigated
(Continued from Page 1)
Subsequently the student learn-
ed the landlady had checked on
his race after a Negro friend had
called on him, and he also found
out the room was not changed into
bigger quarters.
One direct case of restriction
occurred when a landlady asked a
Negro woman if she were an In-
dian, he reported.
When the woman said she was
a Negro, the landlady told her that
she did not mind Negro roomers,
but her neighbors did and she
could not let her have the room.
* * *
OTHER STUDENTS interview-
ed told of cases of anti-Semetic
discrimination. Although the ex-
tent of this restriction is harder
to determine because of the large
number of Jewish students on cam-
pus, several students reported a
number of incidents.
In these situations students
sometimes are told by land-
lords that theyrsimply will not
accept Jewish roomers.
Evidence of the few Negro stu-
dents able to find lodgings near
campus compared to the number
of Jewish students living in rooms
close to campus, possibly would
point to a conclusion that there is
proportionately more restriction
involving Negroes.
Nor do Negro students have the
opportunity to turn to housing in
fraternities that others do if they
wish to leave the quads. There is
only one Negro fraternity which
has its own house whereas seven
fraternities with almost wholly
Jewish membership have houses
on campus.
In addition, some other frater-
nities that do not have restrictive
membership clauses have Jewish
members among their ranks.
Modern Dance
Will Highlight
U' TVShow
A modern interpretive dance
will highlight the University tele-
vision hour at 1 p.m. today.
The dance, prepared especially
for the TV Hour, tells the story
of a soldier and the three women
whom he leaves behind to go to
war.
Prof. Esther E. Pease, of the
physical education department,
will trace the artistic process in
creating the choreography. She
will discuss the original idea, cos-
tume design, music and chore-
ography before the presentation
of the dance.
Students who will perform the
dance are Maclellan G. Emshwil-
ler, Grad., Alice H. Kent, '56, Rose-
mary Scanion and Robin Squier,
'54.
Visit To Holland
Planned by Boyce
Prof. Ernest Boyce of the Engi-
neering department will visit the
Netherlands flood areas tomorrow.
Prof. Boyce is on his way to In-
donesia to join an international
team of medical and public health
experts. The gathering is sponsor-
ed by the World Health Organi-
zation.
Prof. Boyce's visit to the flood
area was prompted by a letter he
received from Johannes Thijsse,
Netherlands' hydraulic expert.
Thijsse had been at the Univer-
sity as a visiting professor but was
recalled to his homeland when the
recent floods occurred.

M~en To Vote
On Constitution
(Continued from Page 1)
FAILING TO GET such a ma-
jority within 90 days after its
proposal, the amendment could
still be passed by petitions bearing
the signatures of ten percent of
the student members.
In addition a 30 day notice of
the referendum must be printed
in The Daily and the Michigan
Alumnus. All referendums must be
conducted at the time of spring all-
campus elections.
The remainder of the present
constitution suffered no more fun-
damental changes but was im-
proved upon by rewording ambig-
uous passages, eliminating mate-
rial that no longer applies and gen-
erally making the document clear-
er.
Special meetings of the voters
have been eliminated by the
change in procedure and provi-
sions are being made in the by-
laws to enable all members includ-
ing alumni to vote.
