STUDENT ACTIVITIES 

INeE the Griffin is primarily a record of student 

activities for the past year, it may not be out of place 

at this point to inquire into their real significance in 

college life. 

I t has been suggested that students become interested 

in athletics, forensics, dramatics, and student politics, 

because, in common with" other humans, they like the applause 

of their fellows. Another reason sometimes given is the other 

common human tendency to follow the crowd. A writer in one 

of our leading magazines said recently that college students 

"know that distinctions attained outside of the classroom- pave 

the way to success in the business and professional world." 

As one who believes that the importance now given to student 

activities is justified, the writer would like to present what he 

considers some of the other benefits to be derived from a sane 

participation in such activities. 

Participation in student activities allows a greater measure of 

self expression than the formalism of the classroom permits. 

Opportunity for contacts with fellow students is also greater. 

Successful management or participation in some college function 

leads one naturally to other undertakings besides contributing to 

the upbuilding of confidence in self. 

The aspects of student activity just enumerated tend to make 

college more nearly a preparation for life and to render the individual 

student more capable of playing the part which will fall 

to his lot after graduation. 

JOSEPH P. SELDEN, Dean of Students.

In the face of great difficulties, 

the staff has worked long and diligently 

to make this volume a ' 

reality. If the activities of the 

year .have been accurately and 

pleasantly set down, here, in a 

. manner that will in later years 

recall the glorious collegiate days 

of 1930, we shall have achieved 

our end.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY 

administer class affairs, the Freshman Class chose the following 

officers: John Peckham, president; Alice Baldwin, vice-president; 

Jean Hughes, secretary; and George Seros, treasurer. Under the 

leadership of Alice Baldwin, the Freshman Commission was organized 

to aid the activities of the A. W. S. Serving on this commission were: 

Mary Barrett, Virginia Charley, Betty Duncan, Dora Hamilton, Audrey Herban, 

Helen Hilborn, Jean Hughes, Ann Johnson, Dorothy Karrick, Jean Kreg, Elizabeth 

Mittelstaedt, Mildred Moore, Bernadine Plotzke, Virginia Roberts, Jeanette 

Secker, Louise Soloman, Carmen Wheeler, and June Urquhart. 

The Class Games were hard-fought, but the Frosh succeeded in winning only 

one event from their more experienced adversaries. Encouragement from the 

Freshman Commission was liberally administered in the form of hot coffee and 

fried cakes. The Freshmen appeared in the traditional gray pots while the Frosh 

women introduced new berets of green felt with a gold "D." 

The selling of Christmas cards at the A. W. S. Christmas bazaar by the 

Freshman Commission was in charge of Elizabeth Duncan. 

To wind up the social season of the year, the Frosh Flurry was held on 

May ninth at the Masonic Temple's Crystal Ballroom under the direction of 

William Parfi tt.

THE COLLEGIAN 

order to give readers more timely news, The Collegian, until this 

year a weekly publication, beg?-n, on December 16, publishing twice 

weekly under the editorship of Paul G. Lutzeier. 

Minor improvements consisted of the organization of a service 

and research branch of the business department, publication of 

special editions for the College theatre and other organizations, and changing 

the type face from eight point Old Style to the modern and more readable seven 

point Ionic. 

Much of the success of the paper on the campus has been due to Managing 

Editor Albert L. Abbot's technical knowledge in the field of printing and newswriting; 

and to the business leadership of Al S. Koscielny and J. Wesley Lindow. 

During the last two months of the year, Robert Birenbaum held the position 

of managing editor.

THE "0" BOOK 1930 ·'31 

E 1930-'31 "D" book will boast many new features that will enable 

it to maintain its popularity with the students when it appears next 

fall. Of these features a rearranged and more systematic presentation 

of material, many new illustrations, finer paper, and the college seal 

in gold leaf on the front cover will be the foremost. As usual, the book 

will include information about all college functions and organizations and will be 

a source of reference concerning scholarships, memorials, college history, grading 

systems, departments, diary, and college songs and yells. 

The publication of the volume was undertaken by the Student Council for the 

first time, the Student Club having been responsible in the past. The editor of 

this year's book, Stuart Lottier, was assisted by the following staff: 

Business M a nager, 'Warren Cone; Associate Editors, Richard Blixberg, Arthur

E farewell formal of the class of 1930 was held on Friday, May 2, 

when forty couples, seniors and their guests,danced to the music of 

Henry Blair's Travelers, at the Senior Ball. The attractive ballroom 

of the Wardell plus a delightful spring evening, provided the 

desirable atmosphere for the party. Small enameled boudoir clocks

Carl Stotz was chairman of the committee in charge of the dance. Other 

members of the committee were: Virginia Rough, favors; Helen Jo Baldwin, 

patrons; Elmer Pollakowski, ti-ckets; Jarvis Hyatt, floor; and Edward Maicki.

J.HOP, 1930 

NGING the college social affairs to a colorful climax, over three 

hundred persons were guests of the class of 1931, at the J-Hop, which 

was held in the ballroom of the General Motors Building, on Friday 

evening, January seventeenth. Against a modernistic background of 

ebony and brilliants, Jackie Johnston and his orchestra, a Chicago 

importation, interpreted the melodies of the day with a sufficient mixture of jazz 

and dignity to lend the desired formal atmosphere. 

For the first time in the history of J -Hops, the committee was headed by a 

co-ed, Helen Tackabury who led the grand march. The modern motif was also 

carried out in the favors, which were shadow lamps in black and silver. 

Miss Tackabury was assisted by the following committee members: Lillian 

Hitchman and Eugenia Johnson, decorations; Edwin Dittmer, floor; Margaret

THE ORATORICAL CONTEST 

UGHOUT the year those students interested in public speaking 

developed excellent speeches, which they .presented in competition 

for the Larry Davidow Oratorical Contest. Increased interest in public 

speaking bringing out a greater number of competitors, the Oratorical 

contest again proves its merits as a worth-while undertaking. 

The Davidow prizes were awarded to Richard Sherod, who took first place with 

his powerful oration on "Disarmament," and to Clarence \Vylie. 

Helen Jo Baldwin was awarded first place among the women. Her subject 

was "Values."

THE MIXERS 

NTINUING the policy of enabling the Freshman women and lipperclass 

women to become acquainted with one another, the A. W. S. 

again this year has sponsored the two women's mixers, at the beginning 

of each of the semesters, These affairs, consisting of dinner, 

program, and dancing, provide an excellent way of welcoming the 

new women to the college. 

The fall mixer was held at the Women's Federation Building on Thursday 

evening, September third. Professor Ethel W . B. Chase, dean of women, was the 

principal speaker, explaining some of the ideals for which the women of the college 

are working. Eugenia Johnson was in charge of arrangements. 

The second semester mixer, under the direction of Mary Campbell, was held 

at the Y. W. C. A. Building, on the evening of February twentieth. Mrs. Grace 

Keal spoke on some of her experiences during her recent sojourn in England. 

Under the direction of Webster Evans, one hundred and fifty men met on 

October fourth for the annual Men's Mixer at the Cadillac Athletic Club. 

The banquet was featured by the introduction of Mr. Norman G. Wann, the 

new football coach. Coach David L. Holmes as toastmaster introduced Mr. 

Vaughn Blanchard, Director of Health Education in the Detroit Schools, and 

Dean Wilford L. Coffey, the speakers of the evening.

CLASS GAMES AND FIELD DAY 

the background of rain and sunshine, fall and spring, the student 

body celebrated the two Belle Isle outings of the year, class games 

which were held on October 24th and Field Day on May 22nd. 

Sophomores emerged victorious in October, defeating the Freshmen 

in two out of the three contests comprising the class games. They 

were triumphant in the push ball game, succeeded in defending their flag against 

the Frosh, but in the end were dragged through the chilling waters of the creek 

by the enthusiastic younger class men. The cold, rainy weather caused the mud 

to fly thick and fast. The Sophomore and Freshman contingents were captained 

by Harry Harding and Jack Peckham respectively. 

An entirely different sort of setting, one of blue skies, warm breezes, and a 

shining sun which caused many red noses and blistered shoulders, greeted the 

Field Day enthusiasts. The stimulating competition caused by rolling-pin contests, 

three-legged and potato races, and the big pie-eating fracas, made for much 

merriment. The climax of the day was the Field Day dance, sponsored by the 

Student Council, and held in the Casino.

WOMAN'S HONOR SOCIETY 

E \i\Toman's Honor Society was organized early in the spring semester 

of 1930. It was felt that an organization of its kind was needed for 

women students who had achieved notable success in extra-curricular 

activities. In the near future the members elected will select a more 

attractive name for their society. 

This year being the first year of the society, a committee appointed by Dean 

Wilford Coffey, consisting of Professor Grace Hill, Professor Emmelyn Gardner, 

and Professor Katherine Chamberlin, made the elections. Unlike Mackenzie 

Honor Society, high scholarship played a very important part in the elections. 

The members of the class of 1930 who were honored were: Lois Trapp, Genevieve 

Philbrick, and Helen Jo Baldwin. The committee also selected members from 

each class since the class of 1925.

SCHOLARSHIP HONOR SOCIETY 

ROBABLY the most important organization that appeared on the 

Detroit City campus this year was the Scholarship Honor Society. 

It has been felt for some time that an organization modeled after 

Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi should exist at Detroit City. A committee 

appointed by the Dean drew up the charter and by-laws, which 

were adopted in May, 1929. The first elections were announced during the spring 

semester of 1930. Election to membership is made only to those students who 

have ranked in the upper five per cent of their class in scholastic standing. 

Following is list of the names of students who were elected this year:

THE STUDENT CLUB 

Student Club, a college organization open to all men interested 

in its activities, sponsored a varied program this past year. It also 

maintained in Webster Hall a clubroom as a commons for the men 

students, and for the use of various organizations. 

A high point in its activities was the Social and Industrial Laboratory 

conference cond ucted in this city under the direction of Dr. J erome Davis of 

Yale University, for which the club acted as the host to the one hundred and fifty 

students from the Michigan colleges who attended the conference. A number of 

the club's members also attended the Bruce Curry conference held by the state 

Y. M . C. A. in Ann Arbor during January. Climaxing the year will be the annual 

Geneva conference, to which the club expects to send a large delegation. 

Other functions of the club have been the sponsoring of the International 

Students Club, the Wednesday evening supper forums, at which prominent 

speakers have been presented, and the International Relations Club, for the 

study of international relations.

ATHLETICS

Page Eighty-eight 

THE VARSITY SQUAD 

FOOTBALL 

football season was not a success for Detroit City 

, insofar as the number of games won is concerned, it was decidedly 

successful in that a good grade of football was in evidence at each 

game. Our new coach, Norman 'iVann, had only a small squad from 

which to select a team and many of the players had had very little 

football experience. 

The competition in the Collegiate Conference was too strong for Detroit City, 

but a few more years of organized effort will be necessary before we can hope to 

compete with such schools as Michigan State Normal and·Western State Teachers' 

Colleges. 

Detroi t City defeated M t. Pleasant in the last game of the season before the 

largest crowd of the year. This game, the most important one of the entire 

schedule, is a grudge game. The Tartars, in winning, regained possession of the 

old oaken bucket which is the symbol of victory. 

THE VARSITY SQUAD 

BASKETBALL 

E Tartars, under the direction of Coach Newman Ertell, completed 

one. of the most successful seasons ever witnessed by Detroit City 

followers. By winning twelve of its eighteen games, the team proved 

that it had the spirit to fight until the last game was ended. The 

team lost six games by very small margins, two of which were decided 

in overtime periods. The Tartars won from the University of Michigan "B" team 

in a game which required three five-minute overtime periods and ended in a score 

of 19-16. The most important game lost by the City team was the Western State 

Teachers' which resulted in a 31-28 score, after five minutes overtime had been 

played. 

Rather easy victories were gained by the Tartars from Toledo University, 

Olivet, and St. Mary's of Orchard Lake. City had been defeated by St. Mary's 

earlier in the season but came back to win the second game, 35-27. St. Mary's is 

rated as one of the best teams in the state. 

Detroit City's Eastern basketball trip was short, but victorious. The Tartars 

defeated West Liberty Normal College of West Virginia, 30-24, and St. Francis 

of Loretta, 29-22. The team was beaten by Fairmont Normal by a close score. 

City will lose Evans, Wenzel, and Pollakowski through graduation, but five 

lettermen will remain. 

Page Eighty-nille

Page Ninety-two 

THE FENCING SQUAP 

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS 

women's athletic program, under the direction of Miss Witham, 

assisted by Miss Peters, was as complete as any school could wish. 

The athletic activities offered the student an excellent test of sportsmanship 

as well as developed the competitive spirit, which is an asset 

in actual life. 

In addition to the regular gymnasium, swimming and dancing classes, outdoor 

sports are a part of the program. Riding, hockey, archery, golf, and baseball 

are the outdoor sports which offer each student a chance to participate. 

Group competition is especially prevalent in such sports as basketball, hockey, 

baseball, and volleyball. Individual abilities are displayed in archery, tennis, and 

fencing. These minor sports are especially good for the development of skill, 

grace, and quick thinking. Tennis tournaments, as well as others, decide the 

individual stars in each sport. 

Honor points are given to winners of the various tournaments. Under. the 

present system, three hundred points entitles a woman to a pin, six hundred 

allows a gold ring, and one thousand points carries with it the highest honor of 

all, a lettered college sweater. 

THE HOCKEY SQUAD 

HOCKEY 

CKEY, comparatively new at Detroit City, is one of the leading 

sports at the present time. Detroit City women are able to practice 

and play their games in the rear of the college, which makes possible 

the development of many good teams. 

The competition in this sport is brought out by the division of all 

hockey enthusiasts into East and \iVest side teams, and Teachers' College teams, 

the latter composed of freshmen attending City, who are later to be transferred 

to Teachers' College. These teams are always peppy and well organized and are 

captained by their best players. All games are arranged through the athletic 

department, which requires that all women participating in these games must be 

students in good scholastic standing. 

It is fortunate that hockey is played in the spring of the year, because students, 

anxious to get out in the fresh air, enter the competition. 

Page Ninety-three

Page Ninety-fou.r 

THE BASKETBALL SQUAD 

WOMENlS BASKETBALL 

women's athletics basketball is extremely popular. The excellent 

amount of available material makes possible the organization of many 

good teams. With these good teams in the field, it is easily understood 

why the competition and interest is so keen. Under the present system 

the good players are distributed among the various teams. This 

equalizes the various teams and incites greater pleasure in all participants. 

Detroit City's women's basketball team plays a series of three games with 

Teachers' College every year. In the past the City teams have captured the 

series with ease. Teams representing the East and West sides also playa set of 

games to determine which side of the city has developed the best players. The 

program for women's basketball is more complete than any of the other sports in 

the women's athletic department.

THE FIRST CASE 

Early in practice while I 

was a member of the National 

Guard one of the members was 

charged with simple larceny, 

and being impressed : with a 

sense of duty I agreed to defend 

him. As soon as the trial 

. began it was apparent that 

the accused was guilty. The 

Court imposed a fine of five 

dollars or thirty days. My 

client having no funds, I 

found it necessary to confer 

with some of our fellow-members 

who were present, and 

much to my sorrow discovered 

their impecunious condition; the result being that I paid the fine and became 

embodied in their status. Getting but little satisfaction out of this legal deal, I 

said my adieu and turned about to get my newly purchased straw hat which I 

had so carefully placed on a nearby hook. Much to my amazement it was gone. 

Anxiously looking around I discovered my former hatless client walking nonchalantly 

out of the Court Room with my prized hat perched securely upon his 

head. 

HARRY B. KEIDAN. 

Someone has said that in a 

ton of law there isn't an ounce 

of love. However that may be, 

it is quite certain that in a 

ton of law there is more than 

an ounce of humor. Serious 

matters call forth humorous 

situations and there is laughter 

in the most unexpected places. 

In an early case, I was sent 

into Court in a suit for dissolution 

of an undertaking 

business conducted by two 

brothers. A receiver had been 

appointed. Counsel for defendant 

moved to discharge the receiver, and, during his argument, by his very 

obstreperous and over-persistent attitude, succeeded in riling the Court considerably. 

At the end of an extended colloquy, defenda nt's counsel exclaimed, 

with a sweeping gesture, "Here's my client, dispossessed of his business and his 

livelihood. What, your Honor, can I do for my client?" The Court promptly 

responded, "Jump in the lake, that will make some business for him!" 

ABRAHAM J. LEVIN. 

THE FIRST CASE 

Shortly after graduating 

from Law School, I received 

notice of an assignmen t as 

counsel for a defendant in the 

Recorder's Court. I visited my 

client in the County Jail. He 

had been arrested in an alley 

with a burlap bag full of lead 

pipe. The hatchet be carried 

fitted the marks on the plumbing 

in a nearby vacant house. 

I did not urge him to plead 

guilty. We went through the 

trial without a defense. The 

jury promptly brought him in 

guilty. 

I will never forget my own sensations on the trial. Helplessness, fear and 

desperation were some of the conflicting emotions crowding into my mind. My 

few remarks were received with kind attention by the Court, and when the case 

was closed and I had argued the question of reasonable doubt to the jury I felt 

greatly relieved. 

I suppose the first time in Court is always a baptism of fire for the novice. I 

hope most beginners accomplish more in earning their fees than I did. 

When I was a fledging, an 

architect, who had designed 

the first motion picture theatre 

with seats rising sharply from 

the screen and copyrighted 

the plans, wanted to sue a 

promotor for unauthorized 

publication. The promoter 

had caused the pictures to be 

printed in the Chicago Tribune, 

and sniffing a rich fee, 

I dictated a peremptory demand 

for immediate settlement 

at one dollar per copy, 

as allowed by the copyright 

law. 

ALLAN CAMPBELL. 

. By the time the promoter's lawyer called I had learped that the copyright 

did not cover the particular photographs used. However, I insisted upon there 

being a violation of our copyright on the plans. The lawyer promised to give me 

his answer shortly. He did, and wrote me the following letter: 

"Dear Sir: 

"I have gone into the matter of your claim of violation of Mr. Brown's copyright 

and cannot find that my client is wrong. I therefore decline to make any 

settlemen t. 

"It is my understanding the amphitheatre type of architecture was designed 

originally by the ancient Greeks, and if your client is the origina tor of this design 

he must be a very old man. I trust he is still enjoying good health."

CLASSES 

age One Hund1'ed Thirty-three

CLASS OF 1930 

IS not entirely clear why we must at a specific time-this June of 

1930- accept an LL.B. as a badge of the completion of our formal 

study of law. But such is the case. It is an old custom a.nd we as legal 

philosophers have learned the value and power of habit and custom. 

We understand in patt, we accept logically, our present status. Yet 

upon further inquiry we cannot fully understand it. However, we do know that 

we must leave our school, professors and fellow-students. 

Some time subsequent to September, 1926, most of us assembled with a blind 

conception of the law. vVe began a systematized study of it. As time passed our 

blindness changed to wonder and to fear, perhaps to understanding. The individual 

traits of each became known to his classmates and instructors. A few 

principles of law became 'known to us. Our blind reverence became real and 

sincere. We progressed! 

Our origin was not regular. Some came from other Law Schools, while some 

were members of a mid-year class. Time was the cure for our differences in spirit 

and idea. For in spite of any unavoidable, one-time atmosphere of incompatibility, 

we are now members of the class of 1930 in body and in spirit. We hope that we 

have acquired some of that rare broad-mindedness and dignity which characterize 

a good lawyer. We are proud of our present position, for we know well the wiseness 

of the truism that before we can be lawyers we must be men. 

So in accordance with the mysterious forces of evolution and the established 

powers of precedent we push onward, or are pushed onward, out of Law School 

that room may be made for the neophytes of 1930. We wish all of our successors 

well. We hope that they may find the joy and sorrow that we have found in the 

study of law thus far. Also that they may find and enjoy some of the comradeship 

among their classmates that we have treasured and will treasure. We know they 

will. They control their words and deeds-the fulfillment lies within each of them. 

It is with reluctance and with pleasure that we part and leave behind us those 

affiliations that have been so close to us during these last four years. Although 

we have advanced, we know that greater duty lies ahead. We know that we are 

"finished, yet beginning."

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW CONTEST 

would be next to sacrilege to close another' chapter in the history 

of the Detroit City Law School without mention of the latest innovation 

introduced this year into student activity, namely, competitive 

oral arguments involving questions of law which have long 

been "pro and conners" with the profession. 

Sensing the practical value of ,such arguments, John C. Bills, instructor in 

Constitutional Law, decided to experiment with his class, to which he submitted 

two questions- controversial in all respects-relative to some doubtful features 

of eminent domain and compulsory vaccination. Competition was open to all, 

and, as an added incentive Mr. Bills offered prizes of $50.00 and $25.00 to the 

winner and loser, respectively, of each argument. Applicants were assigned their 

respective positions, and, after several months of study, an elimination contest 

was held to determine the four finalists. 

As The Griffin goes to press, the chosen four, Ernest Burkman, Harold Goodman, 

Harlan Holt and Stanley Schoof are preparing for their final battle, which, 

if the elimination contest is a criterion, promises to justify the faith placed in them. 

Mr. Bills is to be commended for his efforts in promoting a contest which is 

so instructive as an introduction to practical application of the principles of law.
