350_Annually
Patterson Lake Site In 13
Years Has Taken Care Of
5.,000 Young Boys
Described by President Alexander
G. Ruthven as a "great project in
human engineering," the University
Fresh Air Camp during the 13 years
of its existence has served the needs
of more than 5,000 boys.
An all-campus jamboree is spon-
sored each year by the Student Chris-
tian Association for the benefit of
the camp, which is located about 25
miles from Ann Arbor at Patterson
Lake.
More than 350 underprivileged ado-
lescent boys attend the camp every
year. Under the supervision of Uni-
versity men the boys spend two
weeks to a month enjoying swim-
ming, boating, and learning co-opera-
tion and fellowship with others.
The campers are selected through
the co-operation of more than 15
local welfare agencies located in Ann
Arbor, Detroit, Hamtramck, and
Wyandotte.
Attendance Going Up
The attendance at the camp has
been increasing each year. In 1934
the number of boys enjoying the ad-
vantages of healthy outdoor life ex-
ceeded 400. According to George C.
Alder, director of the camp, "the
real purpose of the camp is to provide
a means for underprivileged boys to
enjoy the advantages of six weeks of
a cosmopolitan life and to teach the
campers how to be more useful and
better citizens."
President Ruthven says, "The camp
turns young lives in the direction of
physical, mental, and spiritual health,
and in the confidence of our entire
community the camp is a useful,
wholesome institution."
The jamboree last year was intro-
duced to supplement the usual tag
day. "We are seeking to provide
means for support of the camp and
to give students entertainment of
real value for their money," Alder
declared.
Radio Stars Heard
Tony Wons and Sylvia Clark, both
famous stars of radio, were the fea-
tured entertainers at the jamboree
last spring. The entire proceeds of
The show was given by the Student
Christian Association to the camp.
Starting from a small group of
tents 13 years ago, the camp has
grown until it has many cabins for
the boys and now a new main build-
The new structure will also be avail-
able for the use of organized Univer-
sity groups during the winter months.
Religion Plays
Large Part In
Campus World
Ann Arbor Churches Also
Stress Educational And
Social Activities
Student activities of a social and
educational, as well as a religious
nature, are sponsored by the various
churches in Ann Arbor.
The students themselves initiate
and execute their own ideas in the
student work, although the ministers
and directors of student activities are
ever willing to advise and assist.
There are over a score of churches
in Ann Arbor, and the importance of
their work is well illustrated in the
statement of President Alexander G.
Ruthven: "In the life of the indi-
vidual today, I see no greater need
than for reverent reflection upon spir-
itual matters, and in the world at
large, none more important than for
spiritual leadership."
In addition to the many ministers,
Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, counsellor
in religious education, is ever ready to
offer friendly advice to the troubled.
In the hope that religious issues
will not be neglected, avoided, or de-
ferred, Dr. Blakeman is always anx-
ious to discuss personal problems
with students- problems demanding
intimate attention.
Students are invited to drop in
upon him to speak of such questions
as home would help them answer were
parents near, to thresh out any intel-
lectual issues, or to consider church
relations.
Likewise, the campus rabbi, campus
priest, and various campus pastors
will be at Lane Hall during certain
hours. The student's own altar and a
minister of his own communion will
welcome him as he takes up resi-
dence at the University.
Contact with religious organiza-
tions on the part of the University is
another item for Dr. Blakeman.
Ann Arbor's churches are: St.
Thomas, St. Mary's, First Baptist,
Second Baptist, Church of Christ
Disciples, First Congregational, St.
Andrew's Episcopal, Bethlehem Evan-
gelical, Calvary Evangelical, First
Free Methodist.

During the course of the year, the
student organization' will also carry

ing Homecoming celebrations, Good
Will Fund drives, open forums, and
open houses for all men and women
students.
A variety of' tournaments, featur-
ing billiards, bowling, ping-pong,

Schola.rships,
Loans Off ered
Brilliant, Poor
All Students Are Eligible
For Some, Others Given
To Specialized Scholars
A large number of scholarships, fel-
lowships, prizes and loan funds are
available to both men and women
students in the various schools and
colleges of the University. A recent
bulletin issued by the University car-
ries a complete list of these awards.
There are some scholarships avail-
able for the entire student body, as
well as a large number which are
offered only to students in a particu-
lar school or college of the University.
The literary college, engineering
college, medical school, law schoo,
dental, College of Architecture, School
of Education, School of Business Ad-
ministration, School of Forestry and
Conservation, and the music school
all have scholarships which are avail-
able to the students enrolled in these
particular units.
The graduate school also offers
three types of fellowships and schol-
arships, including those established
by the University, those which are
specially endowed or provided, and
those which are provided by indus-
trial and other organizations.
Included in the category of prizes
are those awarded by the University,
as well as those offered by various
organizations for which University
students are eligible.
Awards in aid of needy and deserv-
ing students are also available thru
the University.

Chosen From Sophomores
The personnel of the standing com-
mittees will be drawn from more than
75 sophomores who last spring tried
out for positions on these groups,
Although some change has been
contemplated in the committee set-
up, it is probable that the five under-
graduate committees will be largely
the same as in the past few years
when the work has been divided up
between the co-operative, house, re-
ception, dance, and publicity units.
Incoming freshmen will not be eli-
igble to try out for the student or-
ganization until February. At that
time, those freshmen who have com-
plied with special scholastic regula-
tions may try out for positions on the
standing committees.
