IN MARBLE CASE:
Map of North Campus Gift of Class of '54
. It

By ERNEST THEODOSSIN
'Future Ann Arbor visitors will
have no difficulty locating North
Campus, thanks to the graduat-
ing class of 1954.
'A large marble case which will
hold a map of North Campus has
been erected at the corner of N.
University and State St. As yet,
there is no definite date set for
placing the map in the case.
When asked what she thought of
the 1954 class gift, one bewildered
tuetqueried, "You mean the
television set .. ."
Other student opinions register-
ed diverse attitudes. "Why didn't
they get Michaelangelo's 'David'
instead," snapped Joan Cooper,
'54. "It's perfectly adorable," Joe
Frisinger, '56, said.
Perpetuates Memory
James Walters, '55E, thoroughly
approved of the gift. "It does per-
petuate the memory of the class
and is of some benfit to the 'cam-
pus as a whole," he said.
"We need a map of the whole
campus - not just North Cam-
pus," JoAnn Clark, '56, asserted.
"Buy a bus-not a map," Judy
Gregory, '56, muttered.
"I honestly have never heard of
anything more useless in my life,"
Diane Wengarden, '57, said.
Other students registered en-
thusiastic application. "Simply
fabulous" expressed Nick Kouch-
oukos', '58, approval. "Real crazy
man, real crazy," added Glen
Carlson, '57.
Confusing
"This will confuse freshmen
more than ever," Ann Sterling,
'57, said.
"For one thing, I don't really
see why they have it," Marie
Bourbonnais, '57, said in a puzzled
tone. "It's more distinctive than a
drinking fountain, but it doesn't
have neon lighting."
Workmen have just recently
completed construction of the
marble case. Work began late last

Peace Visit
To Russia
Called Off
NEW YORK (P)-Ten veterans
of the American-Soviet meeting at
the Elbe didn't leave last night
for Moscow and a reunion with
their Russian counterparts.
They didn't have enough money
to get to Paris.
Joseph Polowsky of Chicago,
head of the American Veterans of
the Elbe River Linkup, appealed
for funds through reporters and
newsreel cameras.
He said he was determined to
make the trip, even if others in
the group had to drop out. The
reunion was set for May 9. The
10th anniversary of the Elbe meet-
ing was April 25.
The 10 members have U.S. pass-
ports and visas for the Soviet Un-
ion. Russia has promised plane
transportation between Paris and
Moscow. The problem was to get
to Paris.
The group had reservations on
a Trans World Airlines flight to
Paris that left at 9 p.m. Hours be-
fore plane tine, it was apparent
they weren't going to be able to
raise the money.
"We thought we had a commit-
ment for the money but it didn't
materialize," Polowsky said.
TWA suggested they could go
on a pay-later basis, but some of
the group didn't have enough for
the 10 per cent down payment.

The Greatofe Hour
If the University student knows anything, he knows how to
make conversation over a cup of coffee.
Atth peak social hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. studejits drift
across campus to their favorite coffee spots. Music students migrate
to "The Betsy," the Greeks congregate to Mary Lee's, and the Pub-
:;;: :::.,. + lications crowd distributes themselves behind ..... the counter at "Red's."

art of the coffee date is in full swing.
xh ,.".?i.xvv}.v . ":".x: v:.:.:v;....:, .. UT..: :nThe coffee break is more than a diversion-it's a institution.
Students are as faithful to the coffee convention as the :ngish to
their afternoon tea.' Even the professors gather in the coffee room
high in Haven Hall.
Some of the students are "social drinkers." They can't stand
coffee, they never touched the stuff before they came to college, and
they gulp it down quickly with generous supplies of cream and sugar.
Others just like something to slosh around in a cup, and coffee
is the standard order.
But the real devotee always takes his black, can't talk civily be-
fore he's had his morning brew, and speaks authoritatively on the
best coffee places in town.
Coffee in Ann Arbor performs two notable services. One is the

The coffee zealots tend to look on tea-drinkers as infidels to
} fthe true belief. Those of the tea persuasion may be observing the
form of the coffee hour, they say, but are missing one of the finer
things of life.
HIGH TEA IN ANN ARBOR With the coming of spring, some of the fringe drinkers desert
to the lemonade and ice-cream ranks. The sale of popsicles goes up,
and soda straws replace the coffee cups. But the addicts remain true
to their principles, and pass the ice-cream stands with scorn.
