Twenty-four scrolls comprise the main part of the exhibit, showing examples from the early period of outline and flat tone to the later works of more perspective. The paint- ings are from the Ming and Ch'ing dynasties. They represent the "so-called literary man's painting, which was a brilliant and ec- centric representation of nature with the emphasis on literary or philosophical content." GREEN & WHITE: Carpus Reacts To Change In License Color Scheme (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles interpreting progress of the Interfraternity Coun- cil's cooperative buying program.) By DAVE BAAD Interfraternity Council officials trying again to establish a co- operative buying program among University fraternities are using their 1952 experience to best ad- vantage. Extensive research two years ago under the direction of I.FC 'resident Peter Thorpe, '53, cul- minated in a cooperative buying constitution later rejected by the Fraternity Presidents Assembly. Various reasons were given for the rejection but skepticism over some administrative aspects of the proposed program was the pri- mary cause of failure. Savings Questioned Fraternity presidents questioned what. actual saving would exist after administrative costs had been paid with some foreseeing the pro- ject as a losing proposition. However, assistant to the Dean of Men William S. Zerman said coopseactually failed in 1952 be- cause students didn't have suf- ficient time to work on the pro- gram. A full-time committee of fraternity men is needed to pro- duce the tight organization neces- sary to win approval from fra- ternity presidents, he concluded. He also emphasized need of a permanent alumni board consist- ing of one alumni member from all participating fraternities -- Alumni would add important busi- ness and legal experience to the organization. Program Requirements Other important requirements for a cooperative buying program were stated in a tentative pre- constitutional draft presented to fraternity presidents in the fall of 1952. 1) 1,000 boarders was set as the absolute minimum number neces- sary to place plan in operation. (Undergraduate fraternities serve about 1400 students.) 2) Each fraternity must own a freezer with at least 15 cubic feet capacity to store meat bought through the cooperative. 3) Each member fraternity is required to deposit $1 per boarder for organizational costs. (The amount would be accredited back to the fraternity at the rate of one percent per month of the fra- ternity's total purchases.) Service Fee 4) Four percent service fee is to be added to total purchases of each member. Three percent would pay the salary of $5,000 a year to a permanent cooperative agent. 5) IFC's executive council would perform four duties: authorize ex- penditures from the IFC Procure- ment Fund, recommend a pur- chasing agent for approval by each member fraternity, serve as the immediate representative of the member fraternities and superior to the purchasing agent, and pre- sent bi-monthly operational re- ports to the member fraternities. Limited Operations Most of the above stipulations would be necessary if coop buy- ing was to be established in Uni- versity fraternities this year. How- ever, IFC officials plan to attempt more limited operations this year than in 1952. IFC Services chairman Keith Coats, '56, estimated twelve or fif- teen fraternities including about 600 boarders would suffice to open operations. Plans call for co- operation on only a few staple pro- ducts. Freezer Difficulties Stipulation that each partici- pating fraternity maintain a meat freezer is causing difficulties. Many houses have freezers now but a large percentage have ob- tained them at large discounts on condition that they buy their meat from merchants who gave the discount. If they started purchasing meat from the Coop the merchants would start collecting many of the freezers. Cost of new freezers might be prohibitive to some campus fra- ternities.

This was typical of the reaction on the campus. Some outraged students are answering the al- leged injustice with refusal to submit. As yet no mass protest meetings have been called and no Student Legislative resolutions proposed, but indignation is high. The decision which caused this furor was made obscurely enough in some\alcove of the Secretary of State's office. A seemingly harmless, unidentified civil ser- vant had the job of saying what colors Michigan's license plates would be, oblivious of the portent of his decision. Green and White The new plates are to be green and white. In itself this means New Fraternity To Be Installed Phi Kappa Psi, national social fraternity with a chapter at the University, will install a new chap- ter at Michigan -State College to- morrow. The future member of Phi Kap- pa Psi formerly operated at MSC as the local fraternity Theta Sig- ma. Fourth among MSC fraterni- ties scholastically last semester, the chapter will have 33 men ini-. tiated into the national fraternity. C. F. (Dab) Williams, Illinois, '10, originator of Homecoming and Dad's Day has been at East Lan- sing this week organizing the in- stallation ceremony. He will be in Ann Arbor today for the Illinois-Michigan football game and a conference with the University chapter of Phi Kappa Psi which will have an important role in the installation. 'Generation' Sale Begins Wednesday Generation's fall issue will go on sale Wednesday all over campus. Planning three issues this year for the first time, the inter-arts magazine will feature an article on playwright Arthur Miller by Wil- liam Wiegand, Grad. This issue will also include fic- tion, poetry, art and a children's story written by Larry Pike, '54, illustrated by Stu Ross, '55 A & D. Generation will be sold for 35c a copy. nothing, unless it is recalled that white and green are the school colors of Michigan State Col- lege. The news hit campus hard. One aroused coed, waving her clench- ed fist, referred to the fact that the University colors, Maize and blue are the hues of the pre- sent state license. She roared an- grily, "Let 'em have it for a year." To this a red-faced law student was quick to retort that yellow and blue are the state col-] ors of Michigan. "The fact that they're the University's colors too is immaterial," he shouted. He demanded that the present com- bination be continued in the in- terests of justice. Policy Program Also among the few printable comments was that of a naive coed. Speaking of the choice of green and white, she cooed "It's as pretty as anything else." The choice of the MSC colors is part of a policy of going right down the line of the state's schools, honoring them with their colors. In keeping with the dignity of the tribute, the licenses will be man- ufactured by convict labor. The plates will go on sale Mon- day at 9 a.m. at 1015 S. Fourth Ave. for all who want to get theirs early. Contrary to many reports, the licenses will not be shaped in the outline of a cow. Letters of protest may be mailed to Governor G. Mennen Williams, State Capitol Building, Lansing. Courteo us Drivers To Be Rewarded National Flower Week which starts tomorrow has been combin- ed with a courtesy on the road program in Ann Arbor. The two most courteous drivers of the week will be awarded flow- er-arrangements by the local Flor- ist Association as a climax to the week's ceremonies. The two will be chosen from a list of drivers cited by local traf- fic policemen for courteous ac- tions. Coordination of the program, in- volving police officials and the Florist Association was handled by the Safety in Traffic Council. Chairman of the Council Wil- liam M. Strickland, Jack Elzay, superintendent of public schools and Ted McComber of the Insur- ance Agents Association will judge the contest. Grange's Historic Afternoo Features 57-Year Rivalry Of all the many bitter rivalries in Michigan gridiron lore, per- haps none fires the imagination more than the spectacular and incredible 57-year rivalry with the University of Illinois. Since 1898 the two teams have met 39 times, with Michigan winning 25 and Illinois 14. Since 1924 the teams have met without a break right down to this season, making it the longest unbroken rivalry in Michigan football history, a series which will be renewed for the 40th time this Saturday in the Stadium. Michigan picked up five straight wins to open the series back around the turn of the century, and as Yost's point-a-minute teams reached the pinnacle of college football the rivalry was well estab lished. ,When Michigan dropped out of the conference during the "teens," the rivalry lapsed, but was resumed again in 1919, as Illinois won its first game from the Wolverines, 29-7. Following the 7-6 Illini win in 1920, Michigan got back on the right track again by sweep- ing both the '21 and '22 contests. After a lapse in 1923, the two squads meet in Champaign on Oct. 18, 1954 in perhaps the greatest football game ;of all time. "Red" Grange made himself a gridiron immortal that day by putting on the greatest one-man show in the history of the game. In the first ten minutes of play the Galloping Ghost handled the ball just eight times and ran 303 yards, scoring four touchdowns, and posting an unbelievable aver- age of 37 yards per carry. ', ...r Michigan's revenge came the 4 following year, when Bennie Oos- ' t. terbaan and Bennie Friedman put S, on a brilliant display, and along with Bo Molenda,'they briedled the "Ghost" completely. The final score-Michigan 3, Illnois 0. The series then see-sawed dur- Ing the late twenties, with both teams winning twime, but starting in ,1930 the potent Wolverines of Harry Kipke rolled up four straight wins. Kipke's team hit the doldrums in the late 30's how- ,. ever, and the Illini capitalized by winning three straight in '35, '35 and '36. The advent of Fritz Crisler and s Tom Harmon brought a 1938 14-0 Michigan win, and after a tight 16-7 loss in '39, Harmon led a 28-0 t " Wolverine onslaught in 1940. Longest Win Streak Starts This was the start of the long- est winning streak in this fabled chigan's great powerhouse tops series, as Crisler's great war-time teams picked up six straight wins, with Michigan's 42-6 slaughter in 1943 marking the most lop- sided contest of the rivalry. In 1946, Illinois broke the hex with a thrilling 13-9 win as Bud- dy Young and Dike Eddleman stopped a Michigan team that was (Vj just one year away front geat- P HOTO on ness. The great Michigan team of SEA T U R E1947 began another string that reached three straight, by topping Illinois 14-7, but in 1950, the Illini began a domination that is in ef- ry by fect at this moment.
