VEATHER k~; POSSIBLY RAIN r Sir. i~an ~3aiti ASSOCIATED PRESSE I VOL. XXIX. No. 124. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1919. PRICE THREE CENTS I I BOARD OF REGENTS TO CONFER WmiT EDUCATOR% THIS GOVERN MENT RE~LEASES ANGELL FROM PROMISE To Assume Duties at End of Present Univerity Year if He Takes Presidency The meeting of Dr. James Rowland, Angell, dean of the faculty of the U11- versity of Chicago, with the Board of Regents the latter part of this week in Detroit may result in the accept- ance of the University presidency by Dean Angell, according to the Detroit News. This happening combined with Dean Angell's release from a tentative promise with the War department to assume control of the educational work of theAmerican Army In France, indicates that he will probably ac- cept. Recognizes Low Salaries As a salary, the president ,of the University receives $10,000 p. year and secures the use of a resldence on the campus. It may be that Dean Angell is dissatisfied with the stipend which he is offered, but it may be also that he recognizes the weakness of the University In not paying larger sala- ries to its faculty, says the Detroit newspaper. To Start In June If he gives his consent to the Re- gents' supposed offer of the presi- dency, he will assume his duties at the end of the present University year in June, succeeding President Harry B. Hutchins. Hopera Number Of Gargoyle Out The "Hopera Number" of the Gar- goyle apepared this morning. The magazine has increased its size over that of previous numbers of this year by eight pages. ThIs was made| possible by the return of normal con- i ditions--writers are writing again, ar- tists are drawing, advertisers are ad- vertising, Dr. Tom Lovell is actively poetizing, and the Gargoyle has pro- fited by all these facts. - Among those who returned to the University from military service at the beginning of the semester is Reed Bachman, '20, former art editor. He has been given charge of the art des partment again. His cover design, which is . considered one of the best in the history of the Gargoyle,, is a feature of this number.-' The staff of writers has also been strengthened. Among those who have returned is Earl Wiener, '19L. While the number was in process of mak- - Ing, Lester Roseubaumn, '14, man~ag- lug editor for the college year '13-'14, visited the office and helped with sug- gestions and contributions. No acount of the magazine would 'be complete that did not give the highest praise to the poem by Dr. Tom Lovell. The erudite doctor has produced one of the incunabula of the esoteric in his poem upon "Hopping -About." No Hopper will be able to Hop so intelligently nor so joyously as he should without a perusal of these deathless lines.

Scott, of the rhetoric depart- ment, were the principal speakers at the smoker held Tuesday night at the Union under the auspices of Sigma Delta Clii, professional journalistic fraternIty. Both of the speakers gave Interesting talks on the profession of journalism. Mr. Wfhite has been actively en- gaged In newspaper work in various parts of the country and many -side- lights of the so-called "game" inter- spersed his speech. Professor Scott outlined to some extent the past, pres- ent and future possibilities of the newspaper profession. He explained and refuted many of the wrong im- pressions of journalism as a profes- sion. A good representation attended the meeting. Clarence Roeser, '19, manag- Ing editor of The Michigan Daily, was the toastmaster.

Patriotism to Be Keynote of Program; Annual Event Is Tribute' to Gallant Warriors CONCERTS TO NUMBER SIX; WILL OCCUPY FOUR DAYS Prof. A. A. Stanley is working out the programs for the Victory Coin- memnorative festival, consisting of six concerts, which will take place during four days beginning May 14 to May 17, on a basis which will represent the best in music literature and at the same time will stand as a tribute 'to the gallant sons of 'America who have served their country so faithfully. A spirit of American patriotism will per- meate the entire week. Never before has the list of soloists contained the names of so many distinguished Amer- iAmrrican Singers to Appear One of the two major choral works to be given by the Choral union and artists which Professor Stanley has chosen is the "Ode to Music," compos- ed by Henry Hadley, recognized by many as America's foremost compos- er. Of the four artists who will par- ticipate, three of them, Lois M. John- ston, soprano; Merle Alcok, contralto; and Arthur Hackett, tenor; are Amer- icans, while the fourth, Gus taf Holm- quist, bass, is an American, although of Norse decent.

Stock's March to Be Heard Aohe fetr ill be awrk -for orchestra en titled "A March for De- mocracy," written by Frederick Stock. It received its first perform-. ance in Chicago a short time ago on the occasion of Mr. Stock's resump- tion of the leadership of the Chicago Symphony orchestra. -- The star at the first evening's con- cert, Rosa Ponselle, is a young Amer-. ican woman, whose recent triumphs at the Metropolitan opera company have stamped her as one of the most brilliant artists ever heard at that in- stitution. Louise Homer, the ever-popular "American Mother Musician," will be the stellar attraction at the Friday evening concert. Detroit Conductor to Play In addition to the sparkling or- chestral selections, on' Friday after- noon, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the dis- tinguished pianist-conductor to whom the remarkable success of the De- troit Symphony orchestra is largely due, will apepar as soloist.

The authors, directors, and members of the com- pany have doane their best. The meas- ure of their success will be judged tonight by the campus. For the last three nights dress rehearsals have been held extending way into the morning. The company is letter perfect, the dances are down to the step, and everybody knows ex- actly what he is to do. All indica- tions point to one of the, best opreas the Union has ever produced. E. Mortimer Shuter, director, is cer- tain the show will be a success. The lines and lyrics he says are the equal of those in most Professional ven- tures. Everybody who has heard the music has exclaimed over Its tuneful- ness, and predicted that certain of the. songs will take their places with past opera tunes that have enriched Michi- gan student life. He is very well pleased with the spirit with which members of the cast and chorus have entered into their work. The 20 pice orchestra has rehearsed faithfully under direction of Earl V. Moore, musical director, and is ready to contribute its bit toward making the production an unqualified success. The house is nearly sold out for to- night's performance as well as those salethas delighted Ferdinan dC. Bell '21L, general chairman. Expenses are guaranteed, and if the road trip breaks even the Union will make a little money on the venture. Smal profit has been expected because of the heavy ex- pense assumed to make this a "come- back opera." More than $5,000 has been spent. . The curtain will rise at 8:15 o'clock. CERGLEFRANGI~~CK COEYFO RDUTO INDEPENDENT S TAT of the old Union. It is expected by Karl Velde, '20, the chairman of the Hop committee, that a large number of booths will~ be distributed at this session. Not a sufficient number of men ap- plied Tuesday to warrant the J-Hop committee proceeding with the offer of Helen Newberry residence as a stopping place for visiting girls. Only about 15 desired to take advantage of this offer, and consequently the mat- ter will be dropped. Invitations were given out Tues- day afternoon in the lobby of the old Union. All who were not present to secure them may obtain them from Karl Velde at 1437 Washtenaw ave- nue. ALOOFNESS FROM PUBLiC DiiTY CAUSES LACK OF NOTORITY, SAYS PROFESSOR Engineers have not occupied the place in our public life that they de- serve, according to Prof. John C. l5arker, of the electrical engineering department. Professor Parker believ- es that the young engineer shold face his future prepared to fill a place in our national life just as the young lawyer and the doctor is prepared. "T. engineer has never taken the place in public life for which his training peculiarly fits him. The eng- ineer in general, is an exreel lron of his education should be of immense service to society. The reasons why he has nt taken his poper place in public life are first, a lck of realiza- tion of the fact that there is a place for him to occupy; second, the fact that he usually has no education in the th eory, in economics, sociology and hstory. E "In specific illustrationsapparenl I the state legislature did not realize that there was such a person as an engineer, when in 1907 it created its railway commission, which by law contains a lawyer, the other two com- missioners being undescribed as to training and experience. This was done in face of the fact that the com- mission had jurisdiction over the rates and service .provided by hundreds of millions of dollars worth of engineer- mng properties, including railroads, trolleys, interurban lines, telephone systems, electric light corporations, and gas companies. "I resent that, but I resent still more the fact that the engineer has by his aloofness form public duty al- lowed himself to be over looked. Enicourage New Subjects "Every department head in the eng- ineering college is encouraging the election of studies in political science, and in the social sciences. Practical- ly all the instructors are laying great stress on the n1ecessity for participa- tion in public affairs by the youthful engineers." NURSING ASSOCIATION TO All) IN TUBERCULAR TREATMENT Circular letters have been sent out to all the physicians in Ann Arbor lic Health Nursing association is will- ing and able to co-operate with them in taking care of their tuberculosis patients and teaching the families how to prevent the spread of the disease Proceeds of the 'sale of the Red Cross Christmas seals go to the furthering of this work.

Paris, March 25. - An American amendment to protect nations .against the influx of foreign labor was adopt- ed today by the league of nations corn- mission. It affirms the right of any country in the league to control mat- ters solely within domestic Jurisdic- tion. Another important amendment to the league covenant affects article eight, which empowers the executive ,cbuncil to formulate a plan for the reduction of armanments. The lan- guage of the article Is altered to lim- it the power of thme council to a sim- ple recommendation to the gover-n- ments affected. Monroe Doctrine Not' Mentioned One amendment provides that agree- ments under the covenant shall not be construed as an enfringeinent' up- on th3e principles of international pci- icies heretofore recognized. As fram- (Continued on Page Six) On Ferry Field A faint buzz, a louder whirr, and then a distinct sound of rapid explo- sions filled the air. A few on the streets looked up and stopped. Others suddenly noticing their strange posi- tion glanced heavenward - and also stopped, for there, sailing gracefully only a short distance up, was the first plane that had been near Ann Arbor for months. *'It circled easily above town and then made for Ferry field, where it landed. In no time the curious were out in force, and free were the com- ments of all. Lieutenants harris and Ludlow, the passengers, had flown from Detroit, they said, to find a suitable landing place for the large Caproni plane which will soon .fly out here. They seemed satisfied with Ferry field, aP. though a larger field would be bet- ter, they declared. After talking a few. minutes they climbed in again. Tax- ing toward the stands, they, turned around into the wind and opend the motor wide. The plane just cleared the trees at the south end of the field and headed toward Detroit.
