THE MICHIGAN DAILY URAINS COME AND GO: Terminal Remains U-neftanged Road For Style Changes Pioneered by 'Journalist' *t * (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of two articles on the :_Ann, Arbor Railroad Terminal.) By VERNON NAHRGANG Trains came and go, people change, times change, but Ann Arbor's railroad station remains the same. Built in 1886, the small gray brick building down the hill from the foot of State Street has re- mained oblivious to its surround- Ings for years. While horse-drawn carriages have evolved into auto- mobiles and nearby buildings and brush have disappeared, the 69- year-old terminal is still the same building. Actually, the terminal is com- posed of three buildings. On either side of the main depot, connected by a roofed platform, are two small buildings where the offices of the baggage and express de- partments are located. Outsides Unchanged Since the construction of the terminal, the outsides of the build- ings have been free from change. _.Colored windows high on the walls andthe dark, dirty stones of the walls are all the same as the day they were built, but just a little dirtier. Only a phone, a direct line to a taxi cab company, has been added to the front of the terminal. The train station is unusual in not having the additions or new buildings so common on the Uni- versity campus, just a short walk away. Surroundings Changed However, while the building has gone unchanged, its surroundings today are quite different from those of 69 years ago. Where there was once a rug emporium across the tracks at the rear of the terminal, today there are more tracks and more open space. Trees and brush which used to be thick around the buildings is gone or thinned out now. A wooden carriage bridge across the tracks to the west of the building has, long since been re- placed by the present four-lane auto bridge. Additions Made Inside the station, however, change is very evident. Chewing gum machines, package-checking lockers, and telephones are addi- tions which have been made over the years. Benches forthe waiting room are also new along with recently remodeled rest rooms. On the other side of the station's main room, one sees immediately that the ticket counters are all recent modifications. About five Austrian Film Set For Today Brought from the Austrian Em- bassy in Washington, D.C., a five part film "Salzburg World Thea- tre" will be shown at 7:30 p.m. to-' day in Rackham Amphitheater. "Salzburg Land" depicts the province of Salzburg, Austria and its capital, Salzburg which for cen- turies was the seat of culture for central Western Europe. "Salzburg's History and Its Monuments" features not only the famous monuments, but shows the evolution of the city as well. Part three will show "Jeder- mann," the traditional play given each year at the Salzburg festival. The most outstanding actors in Europe are chosen for this play which is held on the steps of the Cathedral of Salzburg. The final part of the film will show the international character of the festival which music lovers from all over the world attend. Sponsored by the International Students Association, the film is being shown to the public with no admission charge. Peter Chlodwig Frick, a pre-med student, from Austria, will trans- late the German titles and emcee the program.; -Daily-John Htrtzel ANN ARBOR RAILROAD STATION-Surroundings of the local railroad terminal depicted above 50 years ago "The Michigan Journalist,"v unique laboratory ,newspaper pub- lished by the journalism depart- ment, has pioneered many journal- istic practices now generally ac- cepted by the press throughout the country. Students in journalism receive experience in writing and editing an actual newspaper by working on the Journalist. It acts as a testing ground for new concepts. Prof. Dean C. Baker, faculty advisor to the Journalist, ex- plained, "Our ideas of content and definition of news are now found in the press." The Journalist was one of the ffirst papers to make major use of the background story and interviews with authorities in important fields. Originated By Mauer The Journalist was originated 29 years ago by, Prof. Wesley H. Maurer, chairman of the Depart- ment of Journalism.. At first it had no financial support and was published by local newspaper com- panies as a service to the Univer- sity. However, it is now listed on the departmental budget. Within the last five years its circulation has increased from 2,500 to over 6,000. Michigan's Department of Jour- nalism is the only one in the coun- try which has such a program. Four faculty members supervise the work. Besides Prof. Mauer and Prof. Baker, Prof. Karl; F. Zeisler and Prof.. James C. Mac- Donald use the paper as part of their teaching program. Has Student Value "Its value to students is that it gives them an opportunity to draw, knowledge on all kinds of sub- jects," Prof. Baker said. "Jour- Air Society To Entertain Top-rated campus talent will entertain patients at Veterans -Hospital tonight at 8:30 p.m. un- der the sponsorship of the Arnold Air Society. Co-chairman of the annual af- fair William Wilson, '56, said that last -year's winner of Gulantics, 'the Psurfs, will be featured in the program. With George Corey, '56, as mas- ter of ceremonies, other acts in- clude a comedy team of Rob Prost, '57, and John Schubeck, '57, and the Doil-Weevil Jazz Band along with he Singing Scotties. The honorary organization has invited all Air Force ROTC cadets to take part in the evening's activi- tis, which will include refresh- ments served by a number of girls from various sororities on campus. nalism should be an integrating force in student studies and inter- est in current affairs." One of the more recent experi- ments tried by the Journalist was an issue in which the pages were bound together horizontally in- stead of vertically. This format was devised by the late Prof. Her- man F. Brandt. Prof. Brandt's system would make it simpler to read the inside pages of the paper while standing, or sitting where there is no table on which to place the paper. Initiated News Comment Another experiment launched recently was having each news story followed by a short editorial comment. The editorials were clearly labeled as such and the usual editorial page was omitted. The Journalist has conducted several campaigns during its his- tory. A 1933 study by the Journal- ist.of tax delinquency is credited with leading to a revision of tax laws in Birmingham and High- land Park, Mich. 'U'Interguild Talks Begin Prof. Frank Huntley, of the English department, will speak on "Christianity and Intellect - A Contradiction?" today in Audi- torium A, Angell Hall, at 4:15 p.m. g The Interguild is sponsoring the lecture, first in a series of xthree. The topic is of special interest to Prof. Huntley, whose parents were medical missionaries in the Orient, where he was born. He lived in China for 17 years and in Japan for six years. After receiving his BA degree from Oberlin, he went to the Uni- versity of Chicago for his PhD. His teaching career at the Uni- versity of Michigan began during the war, when most teachers were not doing what they had been trained to do. Dr. Huntley came here to teach Japanese in the Japanese Area and Language program fob the Army and Navy. When the war was over, he worked for awhile in the Political Science department. Breaking into his major field in 1946, he was made an associate professor in the English depart- ment, and last June was promoted to full professor. Prof. Huntley enjoys teaching 17th-century English, and calls the 17th century "the last century of Christianity." Right now he is doing research on Thomas Browne, who wrote during that time.

The station today, however, functions exactly as before. years ago, the new booths, along with fluorescent lights, were in- stalled in the ticket department, which is a sharp contrast to the rest of the building. Prices Differ Prices of 'tickets sold at these counters have changed, too. Al- though very high at tw ti4ie the depot was first built, prices have. dropped sharply. During the last several years, however, prices have been going up. Train times, too, have changed. It takes four-hours-and-a-half to go to Chicago today, while it took nearly twice that in the early days of Ann Arbor's depot. A recent announcement by the Club Charters Airport .Bus On Friday the Willowhoppers will be greased up and ready to carry students from Ann Arbor to Willow Run Airport. The Willowhoppers are chartered buses sponsored by the Wolverine Club to provide students with eco- nomical transportation to the air- port for the holidays. The Wolverine Club makes little or no profit on. this project as its main goal is to help students keep traveling expenses at a minimum. The price is one dollar per person, paid upon entering the bus., Willowhoppers will pick up passengers at 2:30 and 4:20 p.m. in front of the Union and 2:40 and 4:30 p.m. in front of Alice Lloyd Dormitory.
