In opening the meet- ing, President Frank Steketee thank- ed the class for their confidence . in him as leader. He expressed hope that hereafter the class would attend meet- ings as well as he knew they would the coming social gatherings. Matthew Lamport was appointed chairman of a committee to arrange a frosh frolic and mixer. The com- mittee are: Hilda Bowen, Harriet Dewey, Barbara Duncan, Norma Jud- son, Beatrice Mason, Caroline Napier, Louilla Paul, Marian Pearson, Elise Smith, Laura Snyder, Bertral Sum- mers, Alethea Yerkes, James Brucker, Bowen Schumacher, Herbert Loeb, James Crosby, Gordon Loud, Wilmer Hoge, John Winters. It was decided that class dues should be 25 cents. Dean John R. Effinger addressed the meeting, telling the class the duties of freshmen and what is expected of them. He emphasized the democracy of the University, saying that Michigan residents constituted little over one- half the total enrolliuent, the rest coming chiefly from the middle-west states. 00 WOMEN REGISTER FOR PRIMARIES NEXT SPRING About 300 women have registered to vote at the spring primaries and the county clerk believes that many more will register in the near future. It is believed that the women are anxious to vote on the beer and light wine question which no doubt will be an important issue in the coming election. Purdue Students Serve Faiculty Lunch Every Wednesday the home econ- omics department at Purdue serves lunch to members of the faculty and student body as a practical applica- tion of that course of study. . LIT STUDENTS! NOTICE! Election blanks for Athe see-, ond semester in the literary col- lege must be filled . out by all students and handed in to the Registrar's office Thursday or Friday of this week. RUSSIANDANCER TO APPEAR HERE With the reputation of being the only ballet dancer to execute the "Golden Butterfly" to the satisfaction of Joslyn Gibbons, noted dance au- thority with Serge de Diagileff Ballet Russe, Miss Jeanette Kruszka will ap- pear in the Polish concert Saturday night in the Ann Arbor High School auditorium. Miss Kruszka, who is a pupil of the Chicago Grand Opera Ballet school, will present a Paderewski ballet and Scharwenka's dance. On her initial showing in Milwau- kee Miss Kruszka scored her greatest hit in the rendering of the "Golden Butterfly." The theater in which khe played offered her immediate book- ing. Her graceful and attractive pre- sentation of "The Beauty of the Alps" a few days later before the S- cial Culture club of Milwaukee sub- stantiated her reputation as a ballet 'dancer. Aspiring Actors Hark Ye to This! Houdini, the Magnificent Magician. Weber and Fields, in Classy Comics. Midnight Sons Quartette, Michi- gan's Best at Their Best. Al Jolson, Chirping Some New Piec- es in the Same Old Way. Will Rogers, of the Follies, Mer- chandising in Monologues. Fred Stone and Flora Zell, Dancing Dolls. Julian Eltinge, a Perfect Lady. Six Brown Brothers, Jazzers Jex- traordinary. Zunelli Trio, Australian Aerial Acrobats. This array of star performers will not appear at the Spotlight Vaudeville on Feb. 28, but there'll be many worthy imitators of them if the men who are to try out at 7:30 o'clock this evening in the old Union building live up to expectations. As the Spotlight Vaudeville has for its purpose the raising of $1,000 for the benefit of the American Univer- sity union in Paris, the best, talent of the campus is expected to put in an appearance tonight. President Harry B. Hutchins -is sponsoring the show, which is to prove that Michi- gan men over here are not delin- quent in their duty to Michigan men overseas. Added to these factors is the con- sideration that all successful try-' outs for the Spotlight Vaudeville will be given due credit when the cast and chorus calls for the Union opera are issued. Dlarbers Hone and Strop and Mloan The old-clothes men of Ann Arbor are not the only ones who are ex- periencing the after-effects of war. State street tonsorial artists complain that never before have they consum- ed so much valuable time in sharp- ening and honing the implements of their profession. Whether the deplorable condition of these instruments is caused by coal dust which settles in the hair or by the inerradicable sandy grit ac- quired by the S. A. T. C. man, no one seems to know. One of the most prominent of the barbers admits that it is possible that the much-advertised "army style" hair cut might be responsible. One can easily imagine that the wiry type of hair thus produced might be es- pecially' hard on keen-edged razors and scissors. ADDITIONAL TIME TO FINISH REQUIRED SUBJECTS GRANTED Extension of time for the comple- tion of subjects required for gradua- tion will be granted all former mem- bers of the S. A. T. C. and University naval unit who were unable to elect such subjects this semester. Au required subjects are supposed to be completed by the end of the junior year but in this and certain ex- ceptional cases students may make up such defeciencies in his senior year. This same rule applies to the group elective subjects. Students entering the University may have the same privilege upon application to the advis- ory committee. ALL LITS 'MUST FILL OUT ELECTION BLANKS NEW REGISTRATION SET FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THIS WEEK Election blanks for the second se- mester in the literary college must be filled out by all students and hand- ed in to Registrar Arthur G. Hall Thursday or Friday of this week. Aft- er 5 o'clock of the latter day, a pen- alty of $1 is imposed. In the case of freshmen, it is re- quired that they elect for the second semester, courses continuing those taken during the first semester, and in the same sections. Each freshman must make out an election blank' with a card for each course. The blanks may be obtained from the regis- trar's office. Must Continue Courses Freshman who are unable to make elections In accordance with the above rule, because of irregular elec- tions permitted the first semester, should consult the committee on elec- tions in the registrar's office from 3 to 5 o'clock, Jan. 21 to 24: Unavoid- able changes in election may be made only in consultation with the same committee from 3 to 5 o'clock, Feb. 18 to 21. A supplementary circular stating the importait changes made in the courses of the literary college since the issuance of the last University bulletin, has been printed and copies of :uch are now available at th reg- istrar's office. New Circular Issued Minor changes have been made in practically every department in the literary college, and except for the va- riations mentioned in the circular, all courses will be given during the see- ond semester as described in the an- nouncement issued last September. The return of the University o the semester plan necessitated the many changes and the publication of this supplement. l FAMOUS GRADUATE DIES AT CORNELL Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. 20.-Prof. Rolla Clinton Carpenter, professor ,of ex- perimental engineering of Cornell university, a graduate of Michigan 'and a former resident of Orion, Mich., died here today of a chronic aildient.

SENATE ORDERS PROBE OF NEWBERRY BALLOT SENATORS KNOX AND CLAIM COMMITTEE'S ILLEGAL KELLOGG ACTION Washington, Jan. 21.-In the Ford- Newberry Michigan senatorial elec- tion contest, the senate privileges and elections committee ordered a thorough report on Chairman Pomo- rene's motion, authorizing an imme- diate investigation and measures to take possession of the ballot. All Democrats present, and Senator Ken- yon, Republican, supported the reso- lution. Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, and Kellogg, of Minnesota, 'Republican, sprotested against the committee's ac- tion, declaring it illegal. Senator King, of Utah, Democrat, said he would oppose immediate hear- ings of the committee unless it was clearly demonstrated that valuable evidence would otherwise be lost. He agreed with Senators Knox and Kel- logg that the present senate was not authorized to settle the contest and that the matter should go over for dis- position by the next senate. In joining the Democrats, Senator Kenyon said he had always favored prompt investigation of 'the Michigan contest in the interests of security of senatorial elections. U. S. RECEIVES BOLSHEVIKI NOTE (By Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 21.-American rep- resentatives at the peace cofnerence, it was said today at the state department have received the note from the Bol- shevik foreign minister, who proposed that the United States fix a date and place for a conference between Soviet representatives and American ambas- sadors to discuss the withdrawal of American troops from Russia. The note was forwarded promptly to Paris after its receipt at the state de- partment so that it could be consider- ed along with other aspects of the Russian situation. GERMAN ASSEMBLY MEETS AT WERMAR (By Associated Press) Copenhagen, Jan. 21.-The German national assembly will meet at Wer- mar, capital of the grand duchess of Saxe-Wermar-Eisenbach, according to the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger. This was decided upon at a meeting between the German government rep- resentatives and the Prussian minis- tery after they had agreed that the session ought to be held in an non- Prussian town. Sigma Phi Epsilon to Have New House Plans are now being carried out for -the Sigma Phi Epsilon to move into the old Sheehan house on Huron .street. About $800 worth of furniture waslost inuthe fire which destroyed the fraternity house on the corner of State and Monroe two weeks ago. A good deal was still in storage at that time, and will now be used in their new quarters, but quite a lot of new -furniture is still to be purchased. Small Fire Damages Tappan School The value of fire drill in the schools was demonstrated Tuesday morning when a small blaze broke out in the basement of Tappan grammar school and 400 children marched to safety in the school yard within a few min- utes after the fire was discovered. The fire was quickly extinguished by the use of chemicals and caused little damage. w Fireman Mciaren Recovers from Fall Fireman William McLaren, who was injured by a falling floor in the Sigma Phi Epsilon fire recently, was dis- charged from the St. Joseph's sanitar- ium Sunday. He has been in the san- itarium for the past ten days having sprained his neck legiments in the fall, but is returning to work fully recov- ered. 1,273 Enroll at Oberlin College Enrollment at Oberlin up to Jan. 13 totals 1,273. Of those, 267 are men and 688 are women. There are 22 men and five women enrolled in the school of theology. MASS MEET PUT OFF INDEFINITELY Inability to obtain rapid-fire alum- ni speakers for the pep mass meeting Friday night, because of business en- gagements ortmilitary duties, caused the meeting to be postponed indefi- nitely. Though a mass meeting would aid in bringing back the former Michigan spirit, the date set was too near the close of the semester to arouse much enthusiasm. It was decided that the meeting would be more appropriate next semester when former students will return. The band, which is always a big fight producer, is now in the process of reorganization, due to the fact that many of the S. A. T. C. and naval men have left, and will be in excel- lent shape by the beginning of the second semester. Gargoyle Stars Edythe and Reg The Gargoyle is out today. Many of the leading features have already been announced in The Daily-the cover, the frontispiece, the double page drawing and various other features. There is, however, one fea- ture about which little has been said. The Gargoyle will contain more of the "Dear Edythe" and "Dear Reg" letters. In the opinon of one kindly critic of the student publications, Reg and Edythe will be remembered longer than any other personalities that have appeared in this year's Gargoyles. "Reg," said he, "is already one of the best known men upon the Campus. It is the peculiarity of fictitious char- acters that when they are at all real, they are realler than the people that we continually see upon the streets. Reg has this sort of reality-we know him as we do not know most of the students we meet. "The same sort of thing may be said of Edythe. In fact it is hard to be- lieve that she is a mere fiction. You cannot tell me that the letter begin- ning 'Really, Reg, I'm a dead rabbit,' is mere invention. There surelymust be a real feather brained girl back home somewhere that wrote that." And the kindly critic shook his head gravely and took up * more se- rious subject. Honorary Society ,Admits Ten '20's Again the sidewalk under the En- gineering arch has been scrubbed and the Triangle made clean to the tune of the swishing paddle. Ten tried and true junior engineers were selected for the arduous work and surviving the ordeal were admitted to Triangles, junior engineer honorary society. The neophytes were: Waldo Har- vert, Clayton Schoemaker, Hobart Cliff, James Darbaker, Joseph Tracy, Wiliam Fraser, Waldo Pfchaeche, Kershaw Harmns, Harlan Walker, and Franz Schwalde. IRISH DECLARE INDEPENDENCE (By Associated Press) Dublin, Jan. 21.-The Sinn-Fein as- sembly met this afternoon in the Man- sion house. The assembly stood while the decla- ration of independence was read, an- nouncing the establishment of an Irish republic and demanding the evac- uation of Ireland by the British gov- ernment. The first business of the assembly was the election of a chairman, after which prayers were said by Father O'Flannery. The declaration of inde- pendence was then read. BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSES FOR NEW SEMESTER ANNOUNCED The courses in business English for next semester have been announc- ed. Business English 9, consisting of advertising and commercial corre- spondence, will present two hours. Lectures will be given by Mr. Thorn- ton at 4 o'clock on Thursday in room 4, old Engineering building. Recita- tion periods will be arranged later. Business English 10, a course in sales, will be omitted next semester. INDISPEN SIBLEP SAYS LCHNOWSKY FORMER ENVOY FLAYS WORLD LEAGUE WITH ROOTS IN STATUTFRS JUSTICE PERMITS NO FINANCIAL BURDENS HunBelieves Czechs Possess No Right To Mixed Teutonic Speaking , Territories (By Associated Press) Berlin, Jan. 21.-Prince Lichnowsky former German ambassador .to Eng- land, today gave the following state-, ment to the.Associated Press: "A peace of right and justice, pro- vided it is meant merely to be phrase behind which a peace of violence con- ceals itself, can only be such a peace as neither enslaves nor mutilates the conquered, which leaves him the pos- sibility of recuperating, of paying his debts, of entering with complete con- fidence into the peaceful competition of the society of nations. Aleague of nations, which has its roots only in statutes, not in the hearts of peoples, is worthless. Old Borders Indispensible "Just as the conquerors hundreds of years ago treated France forbear- ingly and left in possession its old borders, including even German Al- sace, which had early been taken away from us just as forcibly as we took it back, so I believe, there will be left to us, especially to the East, our borders which are indispensible for us politically and economically. "Not only ethnography, but geogra- phy should be taken into consideration in establishing borders. The Poles and the Czechs have no more right to our mixed language territories which owe their prosperity alone to German organization and to the Ger- man market, ,than we have to all the German territories outside of the em- pire, including the German ports of Alsace-Lorraine. Must Have No Boycotts "Hence a peace of justice would be only such a one which neither boy- cotts nor lays upon us intolerable fi- nancial burdens which would make us dependent for all time, nor one which creates untenable borders and robs us of lands which we require geo- graphically and economically. "Mr. Wilson and the British states- men have announced their war aims since the abolishing of autocracy and militarism and of making good the harm the war has done to Belgium and France. I expect confidently that they will not demonstrate the up- rightness of their intentions and that they will not create the impression that a war psychosis now rules there, Just as it ruled with us during the war." ENGINEERING COLLEGE ONCE MORE ON PEACE SCHEDULE During the S. A. T. C. regime the Engineering building was used pri- marily for training the students in their necessary military subjects. It did not take long, however, for the engineering college to regain its peace-time status after the armistice was signed. At the present time, e- cording to information from the Dean's office, the engineering college has done away with all the temporary classes and is running on the old se- mester schedule of Uraversity sub- jects.
