BLOCKADE PLANS REFUSE1 TO SIl MILITARY AND ECONOMIC FOE WILL AID ALLIED NA. TIONS TEUTON REFUSAL MEA ENFORCING WAR PLA "The Student council being unalter- ably opposed to any such demonstra- tion as occurred on Cap night of last week, because it realizes that it not only disgraces the name of Michigan but also gives the impression to the outside world that Michigan still sanc- tions the relics of barbarism, hereby resolves that such occurrences shall not be tolerated in the future, and that students or groups of students found to be participating in any such event, will be immediately dismissed from the University." Discussing the above resolution, council members said, "It is a tradi- tion of Cap night that the freshmen, having at this time of the year pass- ed their period of probation, are on this night to be royally welcomed in- to the ranks of Michigan men. Cap night is meant to be a dignified and serious occasion. It should be the most indicative of Michigan spirit of any of the student gatherings of the college year, for it is watched by so many people interested in our Uni, versity. 'Anything that tends to mar that dignity and solemnity drags Mich- igan down from the plane of a great University. -At the request of the council the freshmen class presidents have agreed to hold class meetings to pass resolu- tions to the effect that such demon- strations will not occur next year. The sophomore class presidents have eon- sented to do likewise. LOVELL TALKS ON WORK AT FRONT "Military engineering differs from that of peace times in that cost is not taken into consideration," said Prof. Alfred H. Lovell, of the 'electrical en- gineering department, in his lecture on "Engineering Operations at the Front" Wednesday night under the auspices of the American Institute of Electri- cal Engineers. Professor Lovell, who was a colonel in the American expeditionary forces, had actual experience in the opera- tions he dscribed. Slides, showing act- ual engineering operations at the front, had been obtained from the chief of engineers at Washington to illustrate the lecture. - "The duties of the engineers may be divided into 10 sections: bridge build- ing, highway construction, railways, general construction, camouflage, for- estry, demolition, general combat con-1 ditions, and actual fighting," Professor Lovell said. "The difficulties that con- front the engineers are innumerable. ,Most of the construction at the front must be carried on with the greatest possible speed, with whatever mae- rials happen to be at hand, and under continuous fire. Beaides this, the en-; gineers are ofte called upon to aid in the actual fighting when the reg- ular infantry is ijsusmoient "At the time when the armistice was, signed, the United States expedition- ary forces had built immense docks, factories, cantonments, munitions, mu- nition depots, airdomes, hospitals,j storage depots, and railroads. Plans had been made to have these opera- tions doubled by the end of June of this year. But the signing of the arm-1 istice stopped all this work." After the lecture, Mr. Floyd L. Sny- der, transmission and protection engi-I neer of the Michigan Telephone com- pany, gave a short talk on telephone service and transmission. After Mr. Snyder's talk, a brief busi- ness meeting was held to elect offi- cers for next year, as this was the1 last meeting of this semester. Lester M. Ilgenfritz, '20E, was elected chair-a man; Gordon R. Anderson, '20E, vice-t chairman; Ross Gunn, '20E, secretary;f Geo. Clark, '20E, treasurer.- INCREASED MILEAGE ALLOWANCE FOR MEN DISCHARGED SINCE .NOV. 11, 1918 Men discharged "to Ann Arbor" from the S. A. T. C. will be enabled to qualify for additional compensation according to the provisions of a new act of congress. Men discharged from the army since Nov. 11, 1918, are to receive an additional bonus in the form of an in- creased mileage allowance. Five cents a mile is to be given for the distance between the place of diseharg and the actual home or esidene, or the plae of enlistment, at the option of the sol- dier. Men who have already reeived the three and one-half cent mileage are entitled to one and one-half cents additional. If the actual residence claimed by the soldier is not the same as stated on his original service record, the Zone -Finance officer will make settlement for the additional amount. Those dis- charged since Feb. 28 who have re- ceived Ifwy cents a xmile and whose bona fide homes at time of discharge involved greater distance than they received payment for may also submit elaims. Because of the time required to verify claims, prompt payment can- not be expected. Claims for the additional travel al- lowance. have been authorized to be 'paid by the comptroller of the treas- ury when the home or residence can be determined from an affidavit by'the soldier verified by the information in his original service record.

GLEE CLUB READY FOR BIG CONCERT Posters announcing the 60th AnnI- versary concert of the Varsity Glee and Mandolin club to be given Fri- day, June 6, at 8 o'clock have appear- ed on the campus, and all preliminary ;arrangements for the "birthday party" of the club have been completed. An advertising design drawn by Stanley Simpson, '22A, has been ac- cepted by the management of the club to be the poster device for the concert. Window cards are being placed in Ypsilanti as well as Ann Ar- bor, and it is expected that the ad- vertising campaign will bring a larg- er attendance than the club has had for some time.

Tickets will go on sale Friday morn- ing at campus stores, downtown music and department stores, and on the campus. The admission is to be 35 cents, including war tax. A special Glee and Mandolin club dance will be held after the concert until 2 o'clock at the Union. Diamond's orchestra will play. Tickets may be purchased by 'any atudllt. White Discusses Press Censorship "Newspapers which suppress news on the ground of public benefit lack faith in Democracy," said Lee A. White, editorial secretary of the De- troit News, in outlining subjects for journalistic research before a class in journalism Wednesday afternoon. The above statement was made in regard to "Ostrich Journalism" prac- ticed by newspapers which fail to publish news of public significance and give as an excuse that it would be harmful to the locality. "Ostrich Journalism" does not refer to suppres- sion of crime news that is not of pub- lic importance. "Prese Censorship During the War," Mr. White said, offers one of the broadest fields for research; that a man could spend his whole life on it. He declared that despite George Creel's statement that all censorship on the part of newspapers during the war was voluntary, a club was held over the head of every editor by Post- master General Burleson. Among other problems mentioned by Mr. White as good subjects for re- search were: Faking, Consolidation, Ethics of Journalism, Sensationalism and the 'Newsle,' the pictorial daily press, how a paper secures a million circulation, the foreign language press In America, and "Yellow Journalism."
