THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, JUL a. p. htaiUstein's + POTPO U RRI + (Because I must' study for finals, today's column is written by Tom Thumb, who is the Daily's regular columnist for 1941-1942, and whose real name we cannot divulge for scholastic reasons.-APB) Dear Ma, Sorry I didn't write to you before this, but I've been studying hard, and working on my job (which is taking care of one of the profs' daughters. She is 19.) I lost the job last night. I got into Ann Arbor last Monday morning just in time to register. I know you'll be happy when I tell you how I arranged my courses. I'm tak- ing four hours-that's quite a load, but I think I can manage it. That means four hours of class a day and that's plenty' tough. I've got my courses fixed so that I don't have any classes on Saturdays or Mondays, which gives me plenty of time for studying, of which I have to do plenty. In case I mention Loch Alpine or the Arboretum in my future letters, don't wonder about them as they are places where people study out here-they're good because you can concentrate there without anybody bothering you. I haven't found a job yet, but I'm looking hard. I drive to Detroit every night to look for one. Oh, I forgot to tell you-I had to buy a car to drive in and out of Detroit looking for jobs. I got it with that money you had hidden in Grandma's sewing bas- ket to pay last month's rent-but don't get mad-I only need the car to look for a job so I can help you pay more rent. It's a swell car-or it was a swell car. I forgot to tell you-I was driving home from Buf- falo and in the middle of Canada the brakes didn't hold so good and I hit a telegraph pole. The car wasn't hurt very badly and if you can send me $200, I think it can be repaired. Also I need some money for living expenses.; Ann Arbor sure is peachy in the summer. The average age of the coeds is 40, and most of them teach' school, so they're very useful to have around. For instance, they can tell you the difference between an adjec- tive and a verb at the drop of a split infinitive. And they all know that the Grand Canyon is the series of Proterozoic rocks in Colorado. (This includes, of course, the Unkar and Chuar groups). It's getting pretty awful around here. When you go to the library to study, you have to study. With a little white-haired lady on my right and a 300-pound school-marm on my left (they bothlike to be called coeds), what could I look at but my book? Once I coughed by mistake and five middle-aged ladies looked around and exclaimed, "Oh, I'd love to!" Yup, they let their hair down here all right. The shoe stores have been selling women's saddle shoes all the way up to 112 here. "I believe I'll be wicked," they say slyly, "and have a double lime coke." It's a lot of fun to watch them take notes in clags. They write down everything, from the instructor's "Good Morning" to his "I'm sorry I kept you so long overtime," including any of his digestive processes which may have been audible during the hour. But you ain't seen nothing yet till you've been to one of the summer school dances! Wait till you see Miss Sophie Froitzboinder, who teaches 6A, do the conga! It ought to be reported to the Superintendent of Schools. Only one thing the male student has to be cautious about. When these, coeds ask you for a date, you have to be sure they're married already. But, all in all, summer school's better than being in a draft camp. W. have a lot of fun studying our geography and hygiene hard---and most of the football team's taking courses here to keep us company. They just can't seem to get enough education! I've been reading in the papers quite a bit about this gasoline-saving they're talking about back home. I think it's a swell idea, and I've got some more ideas about how it can be done around this University: 1. Fire all the campus cops. 2. Allow mixed company in student automobiles at night. Then the fel- lows and girls could save gas by all going night-swimming in the same automobiles, instead of meeting at the lake. 3. Refuse to admit students who weigh more than 250 pounds to the University. Then automobiles would save gas by not having to drive around them when they're crossing the street. 4. Don't let any deans or Universi- ty officials drive cars, except for re- creational use. There's no, reason why they can't walk to work like the rest of us. Remember, Ma, it's all for the com- mon defense. I never got that money order for $50 that you sent me for tuition. Please send me another. You never told me whether they got that billiard ball out of Ajax's mouth. Love to all. Tom P.S. Have you tried letting Dad use a cue on him? Jackson Takes Oath WASHINGTON, July 11.-(A')-. Robert H. Jackson took the oath of office today as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court at a ceremony in President Roosevelt's office. j League Offers Women Books For Recreation Cool, pleasant atmosphere for study, 2,400 of the latest popular type books and magazines are to be found in a single room on the third floor of the League, in the library for women. To this place women students go throughout the year, between 12:30 and 9:30 p.m., to catch up on recrea- tional reading or to get their assign- ments out of the way. Opeli only to women, this library has been operating continuously since 1935. Support has come entirely from the undergraduate women, with gifts and revenue from circulation extend- ing the collection year by year. Especially valuable is an extensive collection of modern plays, on the Alice C. Lloyd shelf, built up through annual gifts of eight to ten books giv- en by Senior Society and augmented by presents from Miss Lloyd. A complete group of books on mar- riage relations has been built up by Mortarboard Society. Besides these, the library's collection centers main- ly about fiction, drama, poetry, popu- lar biography and popular non-fic- tion. Recent additions to the library in- clude Ellen Glasgow's "In This Our Life," Emily Hahn's "The Soong Sis- ters," Robert Nathan's "They Went On Together," Erich Marie Remar- que's "Flotsam," "This Above All," by Eric Knight and Maritta Wolff's Av- ery Hopwood winner, "Whistle Stop."

They are shown here seated on a native-woven Indian rug in the large house in which the Indian Arts and Crafts Exhibit is housed. The exhibit traces the development of education among the Navajo Indians. - Courtesy Ann Arbor News Indian feathers and buckskins are stranger to these six full-blooded Indians than white men's clothes. The Indians, shown here smoking the pipe of peace, are in Ann Arbor with the Indian Arts and Crafts Exhibit, housed in Ann Arbor High School Gymnasium. The exhibit, part of the New Education Fellowship conference, is designated to acquaint foreign visitors with the culture of the first Americans, and to demonstrate the necessity of fitting education among the Indians to needs on the reserva- tions, one of which in the Southwest is four times as large as the state of Massachusetts. The braves in the picture are, standing (left to right), Jack King, Creek Tribe, Okmulgee, Okla., and William Brown, Pawnee Tribe, Pawnee, Okla. Seated (left to right) are Kenneth Springer, Omaha Tribe, Macy, Neb. Van Doolet, Sioux Tribe, Minocqua, Wis., Clifford Cuellar, Shawnee Tribe, Shawnee, Okla., and Raymond Walker, Omaha Tribe, Macy, Neb. All were sent here from the Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kan., by the department of the interior. The exhibit closes at 12 noon today. - Courtesy Ann Arbor News Not for sale is this many-hued rug on which Mrs. Kather- ine Bia, instructor in rug weaving at Fort Wingate, N. M., is working. It takes from three to five weeks to conplete such a rug, which is all wool, and made with Indian dyes. Chester Yellow Hair is watching the process. Visitors at the Indian exhibit may purchase rugs and other Indian goods and trink- ets at the Mexican market, which is a part of the exhibit housed in Ann Arbor High School. :,,, ; XX .. ... :.L::: :a.. .. ,. .. h. ..
