found implicated in the trouble at the
gymnasium the night of the Hop, is
the opinion of Dean M. E. Cooley and
Dean H. M. Bates.
The faculties have given all the
names and evidence in their possession
to the council, and are awaiting its
action before proceding farther in the
pnatter. The council, however,has tied
itself hand and foot by securing all its
additional information under a prom-
ise to divulge nothing to the faculty,
and to give no publicity by name to
those sent home.
Council's Method Seeret.
The council claims that it could se-
cure no information except under
such a pledge. It is a fact, however,,
that the faculty had given it informa-
tion which the faculty itself considers
of sufficient importance to result in
probably severe disciplinary measures.
. The policy of the council, <as near as
it can' be determined, is to ask the
men found guilty to leave college, at-
taching no publicity to the matter.
The faculty, on th other hand, is in
favor of publicity; feeling that the
university has been disgraced, and
that an example must be made of the

this afternoon will have the privilege
of hearing an address by Samuel
Ranck, head of the library system of
Grand Rapids. His talk, which will
be given at 3:00 o'clock, will take up
the possibilities of library work when
carried on in a scientific manner by
trained experts.
Mr. Ranck hae done much to in-

in Grand Rapids. He is a personal
friend of Prof. Wenley and it was
through him that he was secured.

ENFORCE TANGO DECREE AT
UNION DANCE; NO FATALITIES
i
Tango or no tango, the full attend-
ance at last night's Union dance indi-
cated that the popularity of the week-
ly dances has not in any way decrea§-
ed as a result of the recent ban placed
on certain dances. The members of
the committee were on the alert all
evening for violators, but nearly all
of the dancers accepted the new rule
gracefully and the committee had little
trouble.

The mone uarantees which the
management as been able to obtain
from the we tern cities necessitate a
reduction in the number of men tak-
ing the trip, and rather than cut down
the size of both clubs to such a point
that neither could appear in its
proper form, the Mandolin club men
voted to be represented by a stringe
quartet.f
This change will make the concertsE
of a much differentnature than those
given on previous trips, where a full
lub of 40 men has been carried. The
tinerary which now seems most prob-
able will include the leading cities ind

Next Friday afternoon both clubs

lean of Medical College Says Dance is s
Mere "Gyration." L
Dances, such as the "bear;" tango,
nd others, were barred at the-musical c
ollege of Northwestern University H
esterday by Dean Lutkin. His ar- o
aignment of certain popular steps
'hich he. termed "gyrations" calledN
orth a defense from Prof. Charles
utton. The dean referred only to the
aforrnal dances at the auditorium.
"I have seen nothing objectionable D
t these informal dances," said Prof.
utton. "The musical students are al-
ost alone in understanding and ap-
reciating rhythm, and their dances
,re nothing more than artistic expres- P
ions and frolicsome pleasure. The d
verage student or fraternity member a
utside the musical college knowsl
bout as much about a rhythm as a cat l

WOMEN FRAME
REMONSTRANCE
AGAINST TANGO
Resolution Adopted by Women'
League Board Protesting Against
All Dancing of Extreme
Nature.
TANGO MEETS THIRD REBUKE
OF WEEK FOLLOWING HOP.
Action of Union Officials in Regard
to Radical Dances is
Commended.
"We want to go on record as taking
a decided stand against all objection-
able dancing," was the resolution
adopted at the board meeting of the
Women's League yesterday morning.
Every member of the board present ex-
pressed her views on the matter, in no
uncertain terms.
The tango was the principal topic
of discussion. Several women argued
that the dance in itself was a graceful
affair, and could be indulged in with-
out any degree of impropriety. Sever-
al opposed it outright. Thinking, how-
ever, that under the existing circum-
stances it would be for the best inter-
ests of the women as a whole to taboo
this dance with the others, the tango
was classed as undesirable.
The "clutch hold" also had its in-
ning. The discussion on this mode of
dancing was brief, as all who express-
ed views said that there seemed to be
little in its favor and urged that such
dancing be classed as objectionable.
Before a vote was taken, Dean Myra
B. Jordan spoke of the commendable
stand that the men on the campus had
taken through the Michigan Union.
This, in her opinion, was enough to
cause the women to act, but since the
different class committees of the lit
department had taken action which
nvolved both men and women, it
eemed that the course of the Women's
League lay in but one direction.
Little time was devoted to the dis-
ussion of the abolishment of the
lop other than a general expression
f regret that the affair had to go.

Selden S. Dickinson was elected
president of the senior lits yesterday
morning to succeed Harold B. Abbott,
who resigned in January. The election
was featured by a aratively light
vote, Dickinso inning from his op-
ponent, ow d W. Ford, by a count
of 47 to . A special meeting has
been call by the retiring president
for Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock
in Tappan hall for the purpose of in-

Class day officers will also be elect-
ed by the class Tuesday. The positions
to be filled are historian, poet, proph-
etess, orator and toastmaster.
The name of the "pipe and stein"
committee of the class has been chang-

Drary in the past, will take charge of

In speaking of the Conference ques-
tion, two reasons are given for urging
a return to that, body: first, that Mich-
igan could then more adequately assist
in the fight for clean athletics; and
second, that such an action would re-
vivify interest in the various contests.
Resolutions have been received by va-
rious alumni bodies throughout the
country, and with the exception of the
association at Milwaukee, they are in
favor of an immediate return to the
conference.
