THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, ______________________________________________________________________________________________ I U " New Writers Encouraged In Hopwoods Contests Open To All Students The University's famed Avery Hopwood Contest is the first ma- jor step into the literary field for aspiring campus writers. And,, with substantial monetary awards, it repays early literary talent with another mark of suc- cess-the first paycheck, some- times as high as $1,500. SINCE 1432, the Hopwood con- test has had a special competi- tion for freshmen, although the original awards were for upper- classmen only. Freshmen awards are made near the end of the fall semes- ter, when prizes of $50, $30, and $20 will be given winners of the 1952-53 competition in es- say, fiction and poetry. Upperclassmen will be able to submit their manuscripts during the spring semester in competi- tion for the major and minor di- vision awards. Freshman entries are judged by members of the English de- partment, while the upperelass divisions are judged by promi- nent American literary figures. There is no restriction on sub- ject matter in any of the contests. ORIGINATED by the will of the late Avery Hopwood, '05, mil- lionaire playwright, the directors of the contest were instructed that "students competing for the prizes shall not be confined to academic subjects, but shall be allowed the widest possible latitude." and that the new and the unusual should be especially encouraged. Hopwood willed more than $550,000 for prizes in the annual Hopwood writing contests which began for upperclassmen in 1931. Many well-known modern writ- ers got their start by way of Hop- wood awards. These authors in- clude Betty Smith, author of "A Tree Grows intBrooklyn." Another of the winners who has since climbed the ladder to success 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 winners are on file in Rm. 3227 Angell Hall. the Hopwood Room. Last spring, 16 University grad*. uate and undergraduate students split $9,250 in prizes for fiction, drama, poetry and the essay. Varied Campus Clubs Suit Students' Many Interests (CODinued from Page 1) Other fields of study that have active groups on campus are ar- chitecture, public administra- tion, business administration, in- dustrial relations, anthropology, journalism, marketing, chemis- try, botany, sociology and psy- chology. Thenthere are the American Ordnance Association.

Among these are clubs repre- senting the Arab countries, Pak- istan, China, India, Hawaii, Turkey, Armenia, Japan, Po- land and the Philippines. Work- Remodeled LibraryReady A completely remodeled General Library, with improved lighting facilities will be ready for student use this fall. According to Warner G. Rice, director of the General Library, the inside of the building has been completely repainted, mur- als are being restored and a smok- ing lounge being prepared for stu- Idents. Rice reported that circulation figures for the past year indicate a decline of over 200,000 from the 1950 to '51 figure of 1,444,852 books circulated for library and home use. The total number of books held by the General Library in divi- sions all over campus now total 1,512,382 volumes. ing in conjunction with these are a Council for Displaced Per- sons and a Committee for In- ternational Living. Students from the Upper Penin- sula get together in the Hiawatha Club, and British Commonwealth Students belong to the Beacon Club. ENTHUSIASTS of French, Ger- man, Spanish and Russian lan- guage study have formed groups in which the foreign language is exclusively spoken to aid students in improving their skill with them. Depending upon whether you are affiliated or independent you may join one of these co- ordinating groups: Assembly, an association for independent women; Inter-Cooperative Council, Inter Fraternity Coun- cil, or Panhellenic, an associa- tion of sorority women. Then come the League and Union student offices which are the administrators of student af- fairs for these recreational cen- ters. OTHER STUDENT government organizations are the all-campus Student Legislature, the Men's and Women's Judiciary Councils, the Engineering Honor Council and the newly-formed Inter-Dor- mitory Judiciary Councils. For the All-Americans, news- per editors, campus belles and other assorted big wheels who manage to get a decent scholas- tic record there are the honorary societies, namely: Druids, Michi- gamua, Scroll, Senior Society, Sphinx, Triangle, Vulcans, and Wyvern. There are also just plain clubs for people who have a simple in- terest in common, for instance, Acolytes, Chess Club, Graduate Outing Club, Hostel Club, Les Voyageurs, Midshipman's Club, Mimes, Quarterdeck, Rifle Club, Sailing Club, Women's Athletic Association, ULLR Ski Club, Wol- verine Club for activity promoters, and Kindai Nihon Kenkyu Kai, which is a Japanese study group. -Daily-Jack Bergstrom FRATERNITY HAZING--On the way out amon g many fraternities is the annual tradition of haz- ing pledges. Now, instead of "Hell Week" several houses have "Help Week" in which pledges aid community welfare projects by donating their time and energy in necessary menial tasks like paint- ing and cleaning. The new "brothers" pictured above are eating the traditional pledge supper with their arms tied to a 6x6 timber.

The initiation ritual is the only distasteful part of being known as a BMOC. .U' operates Eight Extension Services Throughout Michigan Several changes in the campus scene will greet returning students this fall. They will include the completed Angell Hall addition, remodeled cement work on the diagonal, two almost-finished buildings in the University Hospital area, and preparations for the new Wo- men's Athletic Building. SIX DEPARTMENTS of the lit- erary college: English, journalism, psychology, political science, so- ciology and history will take up residence in the spacious four million dollar Angell Hall addition. The huge brick structure is made up of a four story class- room unit, a story and a half section housing four auditoriums and the eight story office wing on the south. Part of the addi- tion has already been used for several classes during the sum- mer session. The other change on the main campus is the removal of the brick 'Michigan' emblem from the diag- onal. This emblem was long the center of a hazy tradition which decreed that no freshman could step on it, for fear of upperclass- men retaliation. TWO STRUCTURES in the Uni- versity Hospital building program are also nearing completion. cilities in the hospital proper. The six-story building, joining the hospital on the northeast will provide 24-hour- a-day am- bulance service plus facilities for the training of medical students. The other building, which is ex- pected to be completed sometime this fall, is the Kresge Memorial Research Building, located west of the Hospital. Houses have been razed at the bottom of "Observatory Hill" in preparation for the University's newest construction, the new Wo- men's Athletic Building which will contain a full sized swimming pool. It will be constructed on the cor- ner of Forest and North Univer- sity, south of the present Women's Athletic Building. With offices in eight cities throughout the state, the Univer- sity Extension Service offers a wide variety of educational courses to a large off-campus enrollment. Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint, Saginaw, Escanaba, Traverse City, End Ann Arbor are the cities in which the University now offers. classes. Both credit andi non-credit courses, supervised correspond- ence courses, adult education institutes and programs in such fields as community organiza- tion, leadership training, fire- manship training, parent edu- cation, real estate and business are among Extension service programs. For the third consecutive year, the University will also present a televised program of courses, sup- plementing the regular extension service servies. The University was the first in the country to extend educational facilities beyond the classroom in this way. The extension enroll- ment reached 3847 for 1951-52 as compared with 2366 for 1950-51, the first experimental year. A greater increase is expected this year.
