REGENTS TO PICK
NEW FACULTYMEN
When the Board of Regents gather
Friday morning for their regular
monthly meeting, they will find sever-
al matters of importance awaiting
,their decision. One of the most ur-
gent questions is that .of securing ad.
ditional instructors
Due to the heavy enrollment in cer-
tain courses this year, the present
staff of instructors is overworked, and
it is probable that the appointment
of a number of new faculty members
will be made at Friday's meeting.

NATIONAL JOURNALISTIC MEET
OPENS AT UNION WITH
FOUR .ADDRESSES
With about half of the expected
delegates present the convention of
the American Association of Teach-
er.; of Journalism and State Editors
opened yesterday afternoon. with a
business session followed by a meet-
ing at which four talks were given.
The teachers are from all parts of
the country. Among them are I. W.
Cunlilfe, dean of the Pulitizer School
of Journalyism of Columbia univer-
sity, E. V. Smith, of Leland Stanford
university, Prof. Bleyer, of the 1)ni-
versity of Wisconsin and several oth-
er prominent teachers of journalism.
Chase S. Osborn Speaks
Hon. Chase S. Osbon, former gov-
ernor of the state, and a retired news-
-paper man, was the first speaker of
the afternoon. In his talk entitled
"The Fourth Estate," he outlined the
possibilities and duties of the news-
paper in modern society. He said
that it is the duty of the newspaper
to search continually for and teach
truth, for the respected newspaper of
today exerts an influence in leader-
'ship comparable to that of monarchs
of old.
Newspaper as a Utility
Mr. Ernest F. 'Lloyd, a retired busi-
ness man, who is making a study of
economics, delivered a paper entitled
"is the Newspap'er a Public Utility,"
in which he compared the newspaper
to the railroads as a public utility.
saying that the former were the pur-
veyors of news, the latter of goods.
He concluded thatgoerment has as
much. reason and right to regulate
'the carrying of news to the public,
as it has to regulate the carrying of
goods.
"Compulsory Unit-Ownership of
Newspapers" was the subject discuss-
'ed by Prof. John B. Waite of the Law
school. He set forth his idea that an
individual controlling a string of news-,
papers is in a position to exert ar-
'bitrary authority over ?citizens of a
democracy.
The final talk of the afternoon by
'Floyd J. Miller, of the Detroit News,
entitled "The Super-Morgue," ex-
plained the difference between the old
newspaper "morgue" and the modern
metropolitan newspaper reference de-
partment, such as. that developed by
'the Detroit News.
4 Prof. Fred N. Scott, head of the
Rhetoric department, who is presi-
"dent of the American Association of
Teachers of Journalism, welcomed the
delegates and introduced the speak-
ers.

After the get-together dinner in the
new Union dining hall, which is now
nearly completed, the smoker pro-

Initial Gargoyle
To .Appear Today
Relying mostly on the short, snappy
type of humor, the Gargoyle makes its
initial fall bow to the public today.
This year's Gargoyle is bigger, better
and funnier than ever before. The
magazine contains many big features,
among them being a cartoon strip
which will appear every issue, carry-
ing Albey Sliderule, '23E, through the
intricate maze of university life. The
popularity of this number does not de-
pend entirely on the briefer forms of
drollery as there are enough long ar-
ticles to make up a well balanced
number. *
Something should be said about the
art this 'year, as it is particularly
good. Besides the colored cover, there
is a clever double page givi.ng good ad-
vice on how to study.
WHITE'S DDESS WILL
BE FREEOF POLITICS
KANSAS EDITOR NON-PARTISAN
ON PEACE MEET; TALKS TO
JOURNALISTS TONIGHT
Although the American public
would probably hasten to brand any
speaker on such a subject as "What
a Reporter Saw at the Peace Con-
ference" as a politiclan, William Al-
len White, who will .lecture at 8
o'clock tonight in Hill auditorium on
.his topic, is decidedly not of this
class.
He has interested himself in re-
form movements,.both national ahd in
his own state, and is declared by
Prof. H. E. Riggs of the engineering
college, a close friend of his, to be
"absolutely fearless and utterly re-
gardless of whose feelings are hurt
when he starts out to reform some-
thing."
While in Ann Arbor Mr. White will
be entertained by Professors H. E.
;Riggs and T.-E. Rankin. Tonight 1e
will be guest of honor and speaker
at the banquet of the National As-:
sociation of Teachers of Journalism
to be held at the Union. Immediately
'following the lecture he will give a'
short talk to Kansas students in Hill
auditorium.
SUGGESTS NEW MEMORIL
PROFESSOR LORCH THINKS GATE
SUITABLE MONUMENT; SPIRITS
APPROVE PLANS .
The communication in The Michigan
Daily in regard to the proposed me-
morial flag staff is most timely. How-
ever, the value of a memorial is not
dependent upon its size, but rather
upon its having such a character as
o make it really significant. It
Would be possible to erect a flag staff
with a bronze base that would be ap-
propiate in every way. Such flag
staffs are to be found in Venice, in
front of the Cathedral of St. Mark,
and In this cuntry there are two in
connection with the main library of
Columbia university, each being a
class memorial.
It would of course be necessary to
secure a good design and a first-class
sculptor to do the modeling. Under
such conditions, Michigan might eas-
ily have a flag staff which would in
every way form a beautiful and worthy
memorial. '
The writer' to The Daily suggests
a gate as a memorial. Such a gate
could be'made most attractive, partic-
ularly if it were considered as part
of a general campus scheme, as has
been done in' other places.
Emil Lorch.
Editor, The Michigan Daily-- -
Having been caused some anxiety
and apprehension in noticing the com-
munication sent from the spiritworld
yesterday regarding the flag pole to
be erected in honor of the soldier
dead, I immediately got in touch with
one of my mediums to authenticate
the communication.
Upon inquiry as to the true situa-'
ition, I find that there is hardly any
excitement or stir about the matter-
in fact none--any more than about the
League of Nations or heartbroken
humanity, neither of which they heard
anything about, until they got there.
When asked about their views on the
subject, they invariably replied that
it was- the old Michigan spirit, that
could push such a campaign across in
two or three days' time among the
student body, and they sent their
congratulations to, the committee in.
