PRICE THREE CE I PLN TO CREATE OFFICE OfDEN OF MENFAVORED SUCH DEAN WOULD CONTROL ALL ACTIVITIES OF CAMPUS OFFICE TO TAKE WORK FROM COLLEGE DEANS University Senate Proposes Solution to Cope with Changed Conditions The Dean of Men proposition, which is now in the hands of a committee of the University Senate for report, orig- inated when the Senate committee on student affairs offered it to the pres- ident and Senate council who, at a special meeting devoted to the discus- sion of the matter, adopted the reso- lution. The proposition was in turn submitted to the University Senate, the latter then giling it to a sub-commit- tee for consideration and report. In regard to the new office the Sen- ate committee on student affairs sub- mitted to the Senate council the fol- lowing: "In the course of the past two dec- ades, the extra-academic and quasi- academic activities of the student body have grown enormously in extent and Importance. Many years ago the se- riousness of the problems arising from the increasing complexity of student life was recognized by the University, Senate, and this committee was cre- ated to regulate the activities of stu- dent organizations (except that ad- minstering athletics) and to mediate between the Senate and the student body in affairs of University inter- est. Since its foundation the volume of the coimmittee's business and the weight of its responsibilities have in- creased year by year until today it is face to face with a sense of its own utter inadequacy to the needs of the situation. "Briefly stated, the fault in the pres- ent adminstration of student affairs rests in the fact that, though its name has been changed, this committee re- tains its original character as a com- mittee on 'non-athletic organizations.' Through the machinery of its sub-com- mittees it has regulated, with varying degrees of success, the plays, con- certs and other entertainments given by the many dramatic and musical societies; it has controlled student publications; it has regulated dances, and other social functions; it has maintained a relatively high academic requirement for eligibility to partici- pation in all public affairs; it has en- couraged and assisted the fraternities and sororities, house clubs, and cam- pus societies in reforming their way of life and improving their status in the University; it has endeavored, wherever possible, to co-operate sym- pathetically with such self-governing bodies as the Student council and the Women's Judiciary council, and to in- duce in the mind of the student body a belief that the University authori- ties would like to entrust student af- fairs to 'student initiative. "In all such matters the committee believes that it has, in some degree, accomplished the purpose for which it was founded. But further it cannot go, though much remains to be desired. The fault inherent in our present sys- tem is that, except in the case of the women, the University, as such, does not recognize the individual student as existing. The several schools and col- leges are more or less aware that a law or medical student. is a human being, but the University as a whole' has no such purview. The individual student can come before this commit- (Continued on Page Six) WYVERN TAKES IN ; THIRTEEN WOMEN f 13% ritish Airman Lands In Europe (By Associated Press) BULLETIN London, May 19.-Aviator Hawker Is reported to be safe, acording to a Central News dispatch from Trale, Ireland. The dispatci adds that Hawker droppedinto the sea thirty miles from Valencia on the west coast of County Kerry and south of Dingle Bay. London, Ma 19.-Up to 6 o'clock no authoritative news has reached the air ministry as to the whereabouts of the Sopwith machine carrying Harry Hawker and Lieutenant-Commander Grieve who bggan their trans-Atlantic flight yesterday. Reports were current that two wire- less messages had been picked up at the Lizard wireless station. One said that Hawker was still on his way at 4:14 o'clock in the afternoon. Thee other which came from an unnamed American steamer was to the effect that Hawker was still flying at 4,:40 o'clock. Nothing confirmatory of these mes- sages has reached London. A wire- less dispatch to the admiralty from the Charlestown station says: "Sop- with machine down in Lat. 52*:30', North Long. 11 west which is about 40 miles west of th, mouth of Athe Shannon." Wathington, May 19.-After weath- ering a 60 mile gale and heavy seas the missing seaplane NC-3, flagship of the American trans-Atantic squadron, reached Ponta Del Gada harbor to- day under her own power nearly 60 hours from the time she was forced down by a fog when almost in sight of the Azores on the record breaking flight from Newfoundland to Lisbon and Plymouth. NC-3 Will Complete Flight. With the NC-3 safe officials express- ed belief that the big seaplane could be put in Condition to continue the flight to Lisbon and Plymouth, with the NC-4 which was still held at arta by unfavorable weather. The NC-1, however, was definitely out of the running as the result of the pounding, she received after landing on the water. RED CROSS WILL ME "POTS" INTO SWEATERS BELGIANS NOT TO DISPORT DIS- CARDED FROSH HATS With Cap night but a few days away, the committee in charge wishes to em- phasize its request that sophomores and upperclassmen, as well as fresh- men, bring their toques and throw them in the boxes provided. Both freshman "pots" and toques will be made use of. Made Into Sweater Contrary to the general belief, this "headgear" is not used as such by the Belgians. The yarn from both "pots" and toques is unravelled and used in knitting sweaters. The Red Cross says that they can make use of all such material they can obtain. Wood Hard to Get With the plans for the evening prac- tically completed, the committee is having some trouble in obtaining wood for the bonfire. It seems that many merchants .are using paper boxes in place of wooden, and toy manufactur- ers are buying up all the available wooden boxes. All the town mer- chants have, however, been very good about promising all boxes which come to hand, to the committee. Dieterle to Sing Robert R. Dieterle, '21M, is to lead the singing during the evening, and it is expected that this will be quite a feature of the occasion. All seniors are to attend in cap and gown. A complete program of the evening will be announced Thursday. G EEN' STOCKINGS Comedy Club Production to Be Given Thursday Evening at Whitney PLAY SUCCESS ON AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL STAGE A. E. W. Mason, British dramatist and novelist, is the writer of "Green Stockings," the three-act play to be presented on Thursday night, May 22, at the Whitney theater by the Comedy club. Mason Actor Himself Originally an actor himself, Mr. Mason was able to gauge the situations which might make the most urgent appeal to his audiences, his abilities as an author making it possible to in- vest these situations with lines abound- ing in humor. A wide list of successful plays, in- cluding "The Prncess Clementina," "The Witness for the Defense," and "Open Windows," demonstrate that Mr. Mason has gained a reputation among the foremost of the British dramatists. Had Long N. T. Run "Green Stockings," since enjoying its first long run in New York, where Margaret Anglin and H. Reeves Smith played the leading roles, has proved quite popular with stock companies and amateur societies, having been reproduced by the dramatic clubs of the majority of the larger universities of the country. Mr. Don McIntyre, manager of the Whitney, in whose theaters in Cleve- land, Milwaukee, and Detroit, "Green Stockings" has been played, declares it to be one of the best of comedies, %nd one which has been greatly en- joyed in these cities. Dress Rehearsal Tonight Dress rehearsal will be held tonight at the Whitney theater. It is expected that the Girls' Glee club, which leaves Thursday for a concert in Jackson,. will attend this rehearsal. Afternoon and evening practices were held yes- terday in preparation for the dress performance. Tickets for the play have been plac- ed on sale at the Busy Bee, at Wahr's bookstore, and with the members of the committee. The tickets sell at 50 and 75 cents, and may be reserved at Wahr's or Sheehan's book stores. STEWARDS TO ACT ON BUYING SYSTEM Final plans in forming an interfra- ternity co-operative buying system will be made at a meeting of all the stewards or their representatives at 7 o'clock Tuesday night in the Union. Much was accomplished toward the furthering of such a scheme a week ago but definite steps could not be taken in spite of the fact that all the, representatives present expressed sat- isfaction with the plan. Since the last meeting cards have been sent to all of the fraternities asking them to have their stewards present. It is hoped that at least 40 will be present in order 'that arrangements may be made for buying part of the .fall goods at the reduced prices which it is expected may be secured by co- operative buying. I BINGAY CONVERSANT WITH COLLEGE MEN To Speak Under Auspices of Pi Delta Epsilon and Sigma Delta Chii DETROIT EDITOR HAS MANY UNIVERSITY GRADS ON STAFF Malcolm W. Bingay, managing edi- tor of the Detroit News, who speaks at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in room.208 Tappan hall on "The No- blesse Oblige of Journalism," has had extensive dealings with Michigan men and women engaged in metropolitan newspaper work. On the News staff are a number of University alumni. Because of Mr. Bingay's experience with college graduates, it is expected that his lecture will be attended by all interested in any phase of journalism. First Address in City Pi Delta Epsilon and Sigma Delta Chi national journalistic fraternities, are sponsoring Mr. Bingay's address, which is the first he has ever given be- fore a public audience in this city. Prof. Fred Newton Scott, of the rhetoric department, will introduce the speaker. Other evidence of the impor- tance which University newspaperdom is attaching to the address .may be found in the fact that several of the classes in journalism and rhetoric will be given an assignment based up- on it.

Copeau's original subject was 'What Is French," with special ref- (rence to dramatic art. Professor Can- field wrote to M. Copeau a few days ago telling him of the increased Inter- est in dramatics on the part of the students on the campus, and it is prob- ably in consideration of this commu- nication, that M. Copeau changed his subject. STUDENT COUNCIL WILL MEET TODAY TO DISCUSS ELECTION Animportant meeting of the Student Council will be held at 7 o'clock Tues- day night at the Union.

Failure To Sign Mleans Mrassacre (By Associated Press) Versailles, May 19.-The German counsellor who expressed the view on his return from Berlin today that the German delegation would meet with bodily harm if they did not sign the treaty, said he based his declaration on the peace hunger of the German -people. People Hunger for Peace "You seem to fear that we will not 'sign the peace treaty," he said, "but we will sign because if we were to go back without concluding peace we would be massacred on reaching Ber- ,in. The people hunger for peace and are growing impatient. The question that is eausing us most anxiety is tht of commercial openings without which we could not carry out, despite all our good will, the clauses of the treaty." Paris, May 19.-It is asserted by newspapers that the council of four ,will decide to internationalize Fiume because no other arrangement could be accepted by both Italy and Jugo- Slavia.

With a home run credited to Kar- pus, a three bagger to Knode and Gar- rett and a two base hit to Van Boven, besides the other safe bingles, the final number of hits registered off the Iowa pitcher numbered 13. Parks Fans 10 Ten strike out credited to Parks were responsible for the low score of the opposition, while the few hits that the home team could place, were speedily fielded by the.vIsIting nine. Michigan started the C02in3 Zith9 first inning, and did not give up turn at bat until a comple = i0 of the diamond had been made. Ia was unable to recover until the se- and inning, when their only counter came. From then on, it was easy sailing for the Maize and Blue. In fourth inning, the Wolverines connected with the ball a sufficient number of times to increase the count by four runs, while in the eighth round, they annex- ed three more. Irish Replaces Belding Practically all of the Michigan slug- ging was directed to Belding In right field, who found it unable to han1 1 the hot drives of the Wolverines, which had penetrated the infield. He was re- placed by Irish, who attempted to stop ,the work of the visiting team, but without avail. Out of five times at bat, the Michi- gan captain, Knode, slammed out three safe hits. One of them brought him to third base without a stop. Karpus' home run was probably the feature of the contest, for the home pitcher was supposed to be impregnable. Both teams used 10 men in the con- test, and both substituted fielders. Michigan sent Van Boven into the con- test for Cooper, who in his turn If: bat, connected with the ball for the two base hit. The contest places Michigan in the supreme position in the Big Ten stand- ing, with no one able to dispute it be- 'sides Illinois. However, Illinois, ear- lier in the season, fell before the Iowa aggregation. This leaves Michigan the only undefeated nine in the Confer- ence. (Continued on Page Six) J'icigan Alumnae Start Big Drive Duties of senior women as alumnae will begin tomorlow, with the opening of a campaign to raise money for the paying off of the debt on Alumnae residence. The debt is $4,000 and it is hoped that $3,000 of it wjll be sub- scribed by Michigan alumnae from all over the country and that the remain- ing $1,000 will be subscribed by the senior women now. The campaign will be managed by Jennie A. Duemling, '19, and a -com- mittee of 20 girls. They will canvass all dormitories, league houses, and so- ,rority houses and .speecehs will be made in each one for the purpose of interesting senior women in this re- sponsibility. Eacll girl will be asked to subscribe $5, the pledges to be pay- able between now and next year. UNION PLANS TO HAVE "CHIN CHIN" VETERAN TEACH TERPSICHOREAN ART In order to give prospective tryouts for the opera next year a chance to learn the rudiments of stage dancing, and thus eliminate some of the delay experienced this year, the Union has arrangd for Roy Hoyer, conceded to be one of the best male dancers in America, to come to Ann Arbor for several days beginning May 26, to give dancing lessons. Mr. hloyer has been dancing for the last two years with Fred Stone in "Jack o' Lantern," and previous to that in "Chin Chin." The fact that' he has a five year contract with the Dillingham interests, and that this is the only time he can get off to come to Michigan, makes it necessary to hold the classes at this tinie. Besides the rudiments of stage dancing, Mr. Hoyer will instruct in aesthetic dancing, so that some solo dancers may be developed for next year's opera. An attempt was made to introduce a few of these dancers in "Come On, Dad," but none of sufficient ability could be found. One or two special classes will also be open to women of the University, that the Junior Girls' play may benefit by Mr. Hoyer's coming, as well as the opeia. They will be conducted separately. Only a limited number of pupils will be accepted for the classes, so that Mr. Hoyer can give everybody the benefit of individual attention. Any- one who wants further instruction can get it, however, by arranging for spec- ial private lessons. Although those who take the lessons will have an advantage in the compet- ition for places in the cast and chorus, the Union wishes it understood, to avoid misunderstanding next year, that taking the lessons will not as- sure places in the company. Tuition for the course of 10 les- sons has been made very low. Furth- er information, and reservations for the course, can be made by calling at the Union personally, or by tele- phone, and asking for Mr. E. Mortimer Shuter, director of "Come On, Dad," who is superintending part of the ar- rangements for the opera next year. Thirteen sophomores were initiated into the whys and wherefores of Wy- vein, junior Ahonorary society, yester- day afternoon at the home of Ruth Jennings, '20. The initiates were: Alice Beckham, Beatrice Beckwith, Alice Comlossy, Marguerite Clark, Al- lis Hussey, Lois DeVries, Marcella Moon, Mary Dee Lane, Martha Seeley, Esther Paffenbach, Josephine McGin- nis, Alice Hinkson, and Helen Masters. The newly elected members will give a party for the older. members on, O4$GANIZATIONS, NOTICE!
