15,. 935 THE MICHIGAN ]DAILY 'U' Fresh Air Camp' Serving 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.

Sponsors Many Features, The committee -has in the past sponsored such features as faculty dinners at fraternity houses, student- faculty tournaments, and "bull ses- ,sions." During the course of the year, the student organization' will also carry on other traditional activities, includ- 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, bridge, and various other competi- tions, will be sponsored. Stanley G. Waltz, manager of the Union, has announced that the vari- ous departments of the building - swimming pool, bowling alleys, bil- liard roo.n, library, and cafeteria tc ocm - will open with the begin- 'c_ Orintation Week. Immrdiaktely following the payment of tuitions, undergraduate men will be required to register in the student offices for membership in the organ- ization. At this time cards and but- tons will be given out, which will identify the bearer as a member of the Union. Students must present the membership card from time to time 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. Loan funds for the students body at loi - o r frmm arcofinlviin mittees maintained by the Union organization. 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. i When you leave, for Ann Arbor have -the, ichiganColors on your Iggage ...o "mute" declaration,anoutard cl a "MICHIGAN" WIN OR LOSE "MICHIGAN" UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SUITCASE TICE and M AP3FAnN RO In the Classroom or the Athletic Field- For the State the University - the Individual "MICHIGAN" WIN OR LOSE "MICHIGAN" 11 , il The best dressed college men said "0.
