,'Y, AUGUST 15, 1935 THE MICHIGAN- DAILY PAGE NINETEEN nbitious Young Authors Have Chance For Hopwood Awards Here Prizes Totaling Near 10,000 Are GivenYearly Four Major Writing Fields Icluded In Contest; Are Major, Minor Divisions For the best work done by students in crcative writing, the University an- nually awards prizes totaling around $10,000. This money was provided by the late Avery Hopwood, a grad- uate of the University, and the con- test is known as the "l-pwood Con' test." According to Mr. Hopwood's will one fifth of his cotate was set aside for the purpose sketched in the above paragraph. Four major fields of writing are in- cluded in the Hopwood Contest, name- ly, poetry, drama, fiction, and essay Prizes are distributed in each of these divisions while the contest itself cm- braces two divisions. The former, known as the majo awards are open only to graduate students and seniors and carry the largesta ashdvalue. The latter, or minor awards, are open 'to all quali- fied undergraduate students. Qual- ifications include registration in the English composition course or a course in the journalism department. In addition to the main awards, the Hopwood Committee, which ad- ministers the bequest, has in recent years established a special awards countest for freshmen. The freshman division is patterned along the same lines as its prototype, the main con- test, and carries cash awards of $50, $3,and $20 for first, second, and third, respectively in each of the four fields of writing. This year's contest will be the sixth since the original competition in 1930- 31. - The freshman division was founded the following year and takes place earlier in the year than the general contest of major and minor awards. The latter holds its dead- line for manuscripts some date in April, as yet not set. The Cornell University (Ithaca, N. Y.) polo team was forced to give a regular place on the squad to a coed, because she outplayed the men. Two courses which deal .with the age~ncies of peace have been added to the R. 0. T. C. curriculum at Prificeton University (N. J.). The University Campus As It Looked 75 Years Ago Valued Exhibits On Display By Museums Here S _ Aged Universitv Conventions Call For Certain Do's And Don'ts For Freshmen Michigan is no University com- posed of hide-bound, snobbish super- collegiate undergraduates, yet down through the years the University has accrued a great many traditions and conventions-some enforced and oth- ers unenforced - but all of which undergraduates in the majority fol- low closely. Here are a number of "do's" and "don'ts" for entering students, all of which have been definitely estab- lished in the culture pattern of Uni- versity life: WOMEN Don't smoke while strolling about the campus. There is absolutely no objection to a girl smoking here and there is no University law to prevent a girl from smoking where she so chooses, but the practice on the cam- pus is generally frowned upon. Don't wear an excessive amount of jewelry about the campus and dress conservatively for classes. The trend among women here is toward sport clothes for campus wear. Don't miss Dean of Students Joseph A. Bursley's annual tea party for en- tering students. Its lots of fun. In- cidentally the Dean is commonly called ''Uncle Joe" by students, with- out his hearing range, however. Don't try to go into the front door of the Union. There is not only a rule against it, it is also one of the University's favorite conventions. MEN Don't call a fraternity a "frat." The use of that word is the world's worst 'faux pas' as far as fraternity men are concernecd. Don't smoke a pipe on the campus if you are a freshman. No law, you understand, but one of those unwrit- ten customs. Don't listen to self-appointed stu- dent advisers. Your faculty instruc- tor, nine times out of ten, is the correct source for any information about the University. Tip your hat when you meet the President of the University. Do not cross the campus lawns. Trail blazing is definitely not in vogue here. Don't wear high school emblems. The Yellow and Blue, Michigan's alma mater song, is always sung with bead bared. Don't call *a professor an instructe.: or vice versa. However, if you are to make the error, by all means favor the vice versa. Participate in all class games and activities. During the rushing period alwaysG call a fraternity when you are unable or do not wish to keep an engage- ment. Just because you might not want to "take" that house there is no reason to offend people. GENERAL SUGGESTIONS Don't bolt classes with the thought that you can make it up later. It is a vitual impossibility. Don't try to. act like a senior be- cause everybody will then know you are a freshman. Only seniors act like freshmen. Be yourself, if your ordinary "your-. self" is yourself. SOCK 'EM, GRANDMA! WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Aug. 14.- (P)--Oliver Deiter's mother came run- ning to take his part when he quar- reled with two young men. The two young men were take to the hospital, bruised and battered. Oliver, 71, and his mother, 100 years old, were held for a police court hearing. The University of Michigan boasts the honor of having been the loca- tion of the first fraternity house to be built in America, in 1846. Collections Of Zoology Specimens Acqired By UniversityExpeditions By ROBERT A. CUMMINS Tvcry, ancient coins, pottery, mol- lu-ks, old violins -you can find any of all of these and many more in the bioad collections of the University's many museums. The results of years of work by cxholars in fields from zoology to music has found graphic expression in all these museums. In geology, botany, chemistry, mineralogy, zo- ology, anthropology, archaeology, in- dustrial arts, fine arts, anatomy, mu- sical instruments, pathology, and ma- teria medica Michigan's collections are among the most prized. In the Museum of Zoology there is a large series of exhibits of mam- mals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, mollusks, insects, and crusta- ceans. University expeditions to all parts of this country and to South America, Central America, the West Indies, and the Old World have all contributed their share. The most recent of these expedi- tions, headed by Dr. Carl Hubbs, cur- ator of the fish division, was made into the little explored regions of Guatemala last spring. Gone more than three months, Dr. Hubbs and his associates returned with the most valuable specimens and scientific data. Zodlogical Specimens Integral Zoological speciments of Michigan's animal life form an integral part of this museum's collection. The material of the Museum of An- thropology, gathered from many parts of the world, is divided into five col- lections to facilitate study. Field work and gifts constantly augment the Great Lake collections which contain both ethnological ob- jects of this region, and a large series of stone implements, pottery, and other- archaeological material. Among the richest of all are the Oriental Collections of this museum. The Beal-Steere Expedition's mater- ial gathered in China, Formosa, and the Philippines; a series of South Sea Island weapons presented by the Smithsonian Institute; exhibits show- ing Chinese skill in working with silk, cotton, ivory, porcelain, wood, and glass -- presented by the Chinese gov- ernment in 1885; some 1,200 objects collected by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick W. Stevens during their sojourn in Peking; and a group of intrusive Asiatic ceramic specimens from burial caves and forgotten graves obtained' by the Philippine Expedition of 1922- 25 all do their share in making this collection a truly fascinating one for layman as well as scholar. Attention To Apparel The Ethnological Collections devote main attention to wearing apparel, implements of war and the chase, and household utensils of the South American, North American and Alas- kan Indians, while the Archaeological Collection is composed largely of pot- tery. Skeletal material gathered in the Grtat Lakes region and osteological specimens obtained by the Philippine Expedition form the backbone of the Somatological Collections, the fifth of the five collections comprising the Museum of Archaeology. Arranged in the spacious University Museums Building, to indicate the biologic and stratigraphic relations of the fossils and some of the import- ant series in evolution, the 14,000 items of the Paleontological Collec- tions place enough material in the possession of the Paleontological Mu- seum to enable 50 per cent to be added when the collection has been fully worked up. Minerals, gems and gem mauerials, marbles and granites are all included in the large and unusual displays of the department of Mineralogy and Patrography in the Natural Science Building.
