Moonshine,.
By RONALD KOTULAK
If you have been everywhere,
seen everything, and are wonder-
ing where to go on your Christmas
vacation, then why not go to Hell?
Hell is a popular gathering
place for people 'who have retired
from active life, but the Mayor of
Hell, Erdly VanSickle, invites

St udents Bine
Walter Anicka
Design A'wards
James A. Van Sweden, '59A&D
and Robert J. Landman, '58A&D
were announced winners of the
Walter Anicka sketch problem
prizes Wednesday night.
Anicka, '35, an Ann Arbor ar-
chitect, provided four sketch prob-
lem prizes, each worth $150, two
to be given each semester of the
academic year 1957-58. One prize
each semester is given to a -stu-
dent registered in intermediate
design courses and one to a stu-
dent in the advanced courses.
The awards are in the form of
$150 credit toward tuition ex-
penses payable to the University,
or, in case the winner is in his
last semester, the award is in
cash.
There were approximately 75
entries. The Juries weire composed
of instructors representing each of
the design grades for which sub-
missions are made, plus Anicka.
Van Sweden was the winner in
the intermediate division. Honor-
able mention was given to Donald

mention went 'to Frederick J. Ste-
phenson, '58A&D; Frank E. Arens
'58A&D; and Leslie D. Tincknell

The problem for the intermedi-
ate division was to draw an infor-
mation booth - one of several to
be located at strategic points on
several entrances to Detroit. The
building was to be placed at the
side of the road so that cars c n
drive in an dpark for informatiot
or drive up for directions without
getting out of the car.
Static parking was to be pro-
vided for six cars. Also included
in the problem were directions as
to what should be contained in-
side the building.

division was to draw a Display
Center located on a level site 20C

ings, and sculpture; a lounge area;
main office and information desk;
an entrance with coat rooms and
a receiving room.
