I I ~~1 AI ) L ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1920. 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.

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. i SENIO) LITS TO DISCUSS IMPRTANT TOPICS THURSDAY The Senior lit meeting scheduled for today, after being postponed' from last week, was put off until Thursday, because of the Notre.

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."

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] $800 FRATERNITY THEFT1 John Perry, 18-year-old Ypsilanti boy, is in the county jai, on a charge 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.

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.
