THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FOUR SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 1937 PAGE FOUR SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 1937 "MOWN" Original Daily Appeared Back In 'Gay '90's' No Fraternity Men Were Members Of Staff Of Pioneer Publication (Continued from Page 1) are not known. Soon after this time one of the most vitrolic criticisms of The Daily which has yet appeared in print came out in the November edition of the Alum- nus. "The Daily bears on every page unmistakable marks of being strict- ly amateur," the publication told its readers. It went on to say that the recent change of the paper's name to "Michigan Daily" was laudable, but criticized the size of the paper. Publication Has Improved "The publication has decidedly im- proved. It is no longer the organ of any clique, either of persons or in- terests," the Alumnus said, but went on with: "It's columns. show it is in sympathy with the University. Its news-even if not the very latest- is gathered from al departments and has to do with all interests. It is no longer Philistine in tone. It has high ideals even if it doesn't reach them, and the gain thereby to the student body and to the University has been immeasurable. Of course, it has de- fects .. . "The most ridiculous blunders can be found on nearly every page-Har- vard becomes 'harvest,' Fitzpatrick is 'Fitzgerald.' And so on ad infini- tum." Editors should read proof more carefully, it was declared, and gen- erally the "benefit from student pub- lication work is greatly lessened by slovenly methods allowed to go with- out mending." The Daily curtseyed gently, said nothing. Daily To Steer Middle Course In 1907 the Board in Control stated definitely that "the policy of The Daily is to steer along a. safe course between becoming a mere bulletin boardon the one hand and a modern newspaper on the other." By 1911 good business management made another expansion possible, and fie years later The Daily achieved national recognition. Daily editorial writer Verne Burnett, '17, now adver- tising manager of General Foods Cor- poration, had written an editorial called "Breadth and Specialization." Entered in a contest of the Associa- tion of Eastern College Newspapers, the editorial won. Arthur Brisbane, the judge, picked it over editorials from Trinity, Cornell, Howard, Dart- mouth and Princeton. Press services throughout the United States carried news of The Daily's triumph. Talking of moving out of the Ann Arbor Press building into one special- ly built for The Daily had been in- creasingly prevalent that year, but when the United States entered the war the plan languished. The editor- in-chief at this period drew a salary of about $1,000 a year, with four as- sistent editors getting $125 and a critic, whose job was to pick flaws in each morning's paper, drew $300. Board Is Financially Sound Financially the Board had grown so strong that incorporation was necessary in 1919 and a year later an- other source of wealth was opened for the paper when The Daily Official Bulletin was created. In the ten boom years which followed The Daily boomed too-1930 found it strongly entrenched. In that year it was chosen as the best college paper in the country-it had already achieved the distinction of being the first paper of its type to introduce a special Sun- day issue a few years earlier. The cryptic Alumnus headline "Daily Goes Metropolitan" told of the paper's expansion in news facilities. The next year a reporter's dream came true and the Board came through-the beautiful and well- equipped Student Publications office. Now papers came off a Duplex press in place of the "pony" outfit which had been used a decade previously, now the pulse of the press replaced the cuss words of the six Daily car- riers who had folded the papers by hand in other years. Daily Beats Depression In 1933, men unemployed and a depression ridden country-but The Daily beat the depression, introduced a picture section. In 1934 a Sunday rotogravure section followed and a year later an Associated Press tele- type machine replaced the former phone service. Almost annually by now The Daily was picked as "pace- maker" of college papers. Such alumni of its staff as Governor Frank Murphy; Thomas J. Dewey, New York's vice investigator; Lee A. White, and a hundred others reminisced about their Daily days. Now the complete new office equip- ment-a dream brought to fulfill- ment The presses still turn . .. And that's the story of The Daily.

It's the tops in man who has paddled his own canoe, yachting, however, and there's not the this America's Cup racing business is slightest foundation for believing the Miss Caroline Davis, left, and Mrs. Leslie D. Hawkridge, president of State Birth Control League in Massachusetts, are shown at Boston just before the pleaded innocent to a charge of "illegally advertising contraceptives." Hearing of the case was set for August 26. not only a bit complicated but a sea- going luxury that staggers the im- agination. Roughly speaking and for no pur- pose other than to get possession of a battered old ewer originally worth 100 guineas or $500, its estimated $25,000,000 has been spent for big sailing boats. This includes the yachts built for tryouts on both sides of the water as wel las the huge schooners, cutters and sloops that actually were select- ed for America's Cup competition over a 67-year period. The majority never even went to the starting line of a cup race. Most are now in naval graveyards or on view, as relics, at places like the Herreshoff Plant at Bristol, R.I. One sold for $5,000 as junk. Does Not Include Upkeep The sum spent for the racers does not include the upkeep or all the items involved in taking your yacht to the races. T.O.M. Sopwith rushed to completion a $2,000,000 motor yacht so that the British sportsman and his accompanying party would be comfortably and conveniently fixed for this year's trip to American wa- ters. Ranger and Endeavour II each cost nearly $500,000 to build, equip, and keep in condition for this year's races. Their sails alone cost around $100,- 000. Each carried professional crews of 25 men, including a captain and two mates. Every time one or the other was hauled out for inspection or repairs, there was a substantial shipyard bill. These cup boats, fra- gile and built strictly for racing, are watched as closely as a favorite for the Kentucky Derby. There's nothing anywhere in sports, unless it's horse-racing on a grand scale, that compares in cost or spec- tacular proportions to big yacht- racing. In all British-American wa- ters, there are only eight or nine sloops of the class "J" variety in rac- While two families prepared for legal warfare over his custody,, dark-eyed Donald Horst, above, 31 months old, awakened at a Chicago orphanage crying for his "Mommy." He wanted to be back again with Mrs. Otto Horst, who mothered him from infancy and from whose arms he was wrested by Mr. and Mrs. John Regan, his real parents. New York yacht club, which has cus- tody of the America's Cup and fixes the rules, will yield to suggestions to reduce the size of cup boats. It's an exclusive proposition now and they want to keep it that way. There's no objection to the fellow with a sailing dinghy or a two-cylin- der motorboat going out to see how the big fellows do it but as to making the America's Cup competition any- thing in the nature of a free-for-all-- perish the thought- No Gate Receipts Here Nobody connected with the Ameri- ca's Cup has the slightest thought about gate receipts or any source of income calculated to absorb part of the huge expense involved Such is the freedom of the seas that anybody can run an excursion boat to the races, for whatever profit he can make out of it, but the New York Yacht Club doesn't take a "cut." What about all the publicity? Per- haps, in the case of Sir Thomas Lip- ton, it wasn't overlooked and did no harm to the tea business of the pop- ular old Irishman. But, over a period of 31 years, during which he made five unsuccessful challenges, Lipton probably spent close to $10,- 000,000 on his Shamrocks and all the things that otherwise went into the cost of yachting operations. Jewel Wuerfel Given Detroit Fashion Award Winning the final decision of seven well known New York fashion writers, Jewel Wuerfel, '37, former women's editor of The Daily, recently placed first in a scholarship contest spon- sored by Himelhoch's Department Store in Detroit. The scholarship will entitle Mtss Wuerfel to tuition for a nine-month course at the School for Fashion Ca- reers, Rockefeller Plaza, New York City. She plans to enter sometime in September, it was announced. Miss Wuerfel won the contest over a field of more than 300 entries and was the only University of Michigan student to receive a ranking position. Miss Wuerfel was active in cam- pus affairs. Affiliated with Alpha Chi Omega, she was also a member of Wyvern, junior women's honorary society and a member of The Daily editorial staff for three years.
