rior Aechanism Of Modern
Newspaper Explained by Ryan
w
In a short talk made lively by his
gorous and witty phraseology,
Quin" Ryan explained the inside
orkings - of the Qhicago Tribune in
ie Natural Science auditorium last
ight.
With the aid of stereopticon slides
e gave an excellent presentation of
e work in a metropolitan newspaper
ant, from the methods of news
thering to the final appearance of
ie printed'story. ,
A'n outstanding feature of the lec-
re was the emphasis given to the
rsonal and individual side of news-
iper work and his anecdiotes about
.e well known members of the Trib-
ae staff made evident the good. feel-
g and co-operation that prevails on
at daily.
Beginning his talk with an account
the manner in which he entered
urnalism, Ryan well illustrated the
ethod by which reporters are trained
the MNysteries of "pic" chasing and
ws gathering, -by his personal rem-
iscences.
The major part of thA talk con-
cerned the procedure :n the office in
getting the news, editing it, and pass-'
ing it on to the composing and press
rooms. In a paper that daily fills 270'
columns with news its is evident that
an unfailing system must be perfect-
ed and Ryan, explained what methods-
the Tribune uses to get this result.
Emphasizing the necessity of
speed in journalistic work, Ryan cited
an instance when an extra copy of his,
paper had been prepared and on the
streets in 20 minutes from the, time the
press was stopped to admit the big
story."
In commenting on reporting and
what constitutes good reporting, Ryan
said, "The Tribune reporter is trained
to look upon himself as the represen-
tative of the world at the event which
he is covering."
As evidence that the special depart-
ments of the Chicago paper are popu-
lar, Ryan stated that in 1918 B. L. T.,
the conductor of "A Line o' Type or
Two," received more than 26,000 let-
ters from contributors and that Dr.
Evans answered more than 15,000
health queries in 1919.

IL SOCIETY
9 INITIATION
its way before the close of the present
semester, a committee composed of six
men, who are not as yet members of
any Legion posts, was appointed. A
petition for a charter for a regular
post at the University, signed by 15
men, also non-Legion members, will
be presented to national headquarters
by this committee within the next 10
days.
As, however, the actual acceptance
and formal presentation of the charter
will involve a matter of several
weeks, those men who will attend
Summer school will take up the real
work of the organization. Thus, with"
the re-opening of the regular school
term in, October, all that will be nec-'
essary for present Legion members
will be-to secure a- transfer from
their home posts. The process, for
non-members will be to siign certifi-
cates stating their desire to join, and
they may then enter as regular mem-'
bers of an established post with full.
rights and privileges.

Committee Meeting for Consideration
of President's Request
Causes Comment
DEMOCRATS EXPECT IMMEDIATE
REFUSAL BY G. 0. P. FACTION
Washington, May 25 - The House
foreign affairs committee' will meet
tomorrow to consider President Wil-
'son's request that he be. given author-
ity to accept a mandate over Armenia.-
Announcement tonight by Chairman
'Porter that the committee had been
called to take up the proposition and
that Secretary Coly'y be the first wit-
ness caused widespread comment
among those who had believed early
in the day that the, whole ;question
would go over until the redess.
There was no intimation as to the
season for immediate consideration.
Democrats,. outspoken in their oppo-
sition, said they construed it to mean
the Republicans had decided to act
immediately on the President's request
and refuse to grant it.
The question was discussed during
the day by Republicans at a number of
informal conferences, anti the opinion
was expressed that in the event Con-
gress fails to act and adjourns until
December, the President might call a
special session for its consideration.
Chairman Porter in a statement
said he had not had time to confer
with all the members of the committee
but that "he regarded the proposition
of sending American soldiers to Ar-
menia or any other foreign country as
absurd."
PI DELTA EPSILON
INITIATES EIGHT'
Seven active and one honorary mem-
ber were admitted to the ranks of Pi
Delta Epsilon, national honorary jour-
nalistic fraternity at its annual spring
initiation held yesterday at the Union.
Those initiated were:,Robert C. An-
gell, '21, William F. Angell, '21, George
Cadwell, '21L Robert Drake, '21, Theo-
dore Gustafson, '21E, Boyd Logan, '21,
and Quin A. Ryan (honorary).

F. Angell,. '21, Prof. E. R. Sunderland,

NEW YORK LIFE
SHOWN IN MOVIE
New York, the real New York, is ac-.
curately portrayed in that cross sec-
tion of the seething life of' the great
metropolis shown in "On with the
Dance," the movies to be given at
7:30 o'clock Thursday night in Hill
auditorium under the auspices of the
Ulion.
Although many of the scenes are of
cabarets and luxurious rooms, the life
of theimmigrant is shown in abrupt
contrast. The story throbswith the
most vital of human emotions. Love,
hatred, and brning jealousy vie ith
each other and overlap in their occur-
rences. The characters are all paint-i
ed by an excellent cast as real live-
people who become stranded in pecu-
liar circumstances.
The acting of Mae Murray who
takes the leading role as the masked ]
dancer is comparable to the work of
John Barrymore in his, recent master-
piece, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." And
not the least among the many accom-
plishments that she displays in "On
with the Dance" is her grace and abil-,
ity as a dancer. The wonderful set-
ting of the cabaret scenes provides an
appropriate background for her danc-
ing when she comes from behind the
.curtains into the full glare of the
spotlights to do her turn as the]
Masked Dancer.
Tickets for the movie will be plac-
ed on sale today in the camnus bookj
stores and down-town. Contrary to
yesterday's 'announcement the price
will be 25 cents.
YPSILANTI BOY JAILED FOR]

of steaing $300 worth of clothes from
the Phi Rho .Sigma fraternity- house.

COA'ST T ME N
TO GI1VE CONCERT
Commencement Entertainment in Hill
Auditorium Planned for Fist
Week in June
GLEE AND liMANDOLIN CLUB-
FILL GIVE REVIEW
Making its last appearancefor the
year, the 1919-20 Varsity Glee and
Mandolin club will give a Commence-
ment concert at i8 o'clock Friday,
June 4, in Hill auditorium. It was
deemed particularly appropriate by
the management to term the concert a
Commencement one inasmuch as' it
will be the last chance of the gradu-
ating class to hear the combined clubs.
To carry out the idea of a trip con-
cert on' the campus, only the picked
men who made the recent Pacific coast
trip will appear and a program simi-
lar to that offered in the western cities
will be given. Hits of the trip will be
reviewed and "Tom" Hart, '20, of "I'm
Suspicious" fame, will be on hand with
his latest ones..
Jazz Orchestra to Appear
The regular quartets and s'extets
will appear in numbers, among them
being one by the All-campus jazz or-
chestra. In respect ;to the playing of
this organization the club manager has
received a letter from the manager of
the Alexandria Hotel in Los Angeles,
where the flub stayed during its re-
cent trip. The letter says in part: "I
never knew what real 'jazz' was until
-I heard our All-campus orchestra."
Negotiaions are being carried on
with Armory officials and it the hall
can be secured, a dance will follow the
concert. Tickets will go on sale at
a later date.

standing, the senior girls, at the meet-
ing held Tuesday afternoon in Bar-
hour gymnasium, decided not to pr6-
sent a senior girls' play this year.

play will be lanned by the commit-
tee.

faet that the senior breakfast will be

berry residence and that no flowers'

mencement day. The girls are to ap-
pear in white dresses and black foot-
wear with their caps and gowns left
open.
Miss Wardner of the University hos-
pital told of the-training that is avail-
able in the Psychopathic hospital here
and at Smith college for University
firlIs in' pschyriatry, which deals with
mental' and nervous cases of 'social
work.
Mrs. Henderson, secretary of the
Central correspondence committee of

to join an Alumnae group as soon aft-
er graduation as possible. Mrs. Hen-
derson stated that only one-seventh of
