Statistics Show That 2,620 Out of 7,800
Go to Religlops
Services
47 PER CENT OF THOSE WHO
EXPRESS PEFE RENCE ATTEND
With the purpose of securing accu-
rate data on church attendance of
Michigan students, Rev. Lloyd Douglas
of the First Congregational church
phoned all churches in Ann Arbor
Friday morning and listed the esti-
mates they gave of the numhber of Uni-
versity undergraduates at their serv-
ices.
47 Per Cent Show Preference
The most important of his findings
was the discovery that not 15 per
cent, as previously published, but 47
per cent of the students expressing
church preference at registration act-
ually are attending services.'
It was also found that the percent-
age of church attendance of the en-
tire student body was 35 per cent, and
that the number of students express-
ing preference was 71 per cent df the
total enrollment. Of the 7,800 stu-
dents now in the University 5,537 ex-
pressed church preference, and 2,620
are attending services.
Figures Secured'
The figures secured for each church
are as follows, the first figure repre-
senting the number of students ex-
pressing preference for that denomina-
tion, and the second representing the
number actually attending: Baptist,'
388-100; Catholic, 800-50; Christian,'
150-50; COngregational, 785-400; Epis-
copalian, 660-400; Lutheran, 275-50;
Methodist Episcopal, 1,300-520; Pres-
byterian, 1,109-400; Unitarian, 80-50.
EMMA GOLDMANGIYC S
FIGHT TO BERWTH MIN.,
(By M. K. E.)
Even the jaded follower of amateur
theatricals is sometimes rewarded for
his past martyrdom by a production
that is really worth the time-and, in-
cidentally, the two dollars. Such, at
any rate, was the case last night at'
the second performance of "Red
Feather."
The Klein-De Koven comic opera is
professional in presentation as well as
in authorship. Somehow, it lacks most
of those amateurish qualities which
are the bane of nearly all campus pro-
ductions. Trained voices in the cast
and chorus are no negligible factors
in "putting across" a play for which
tuneful music is the chief raison
d' etre. Of course, we are not attack-
ing Mr. Klein, for a plot would be an
indignity to a musical comedy.
Excellent Quality in Duet
Vocal honors' go to Mrs. Pearl Mc-
Geoch-Walcott and Mr. James Hamil-
ton who, especially in the duet, "To
Call Thee Mine," displayed voices of
excellent quality, standing out well
despite the too sonorous accompani-
ment of a large orchestra.
Evelyn F. Rockwell, Reba Griffith-
Klumpp, Marion Treleaven, and Rob-'
ert R. Dieterle did some excellent solo
work. Miss Rockwell, in addition to
her pleasing voice, deserves much
credit for her partrayal of the chic
little milliner. Her faultless stage'
presence contributes much to the con-
vincingness of her role.
Comedian's Part Well Taken
Milton H. Fehling as Baron Blumer-
storms is every bit the comedian, his
handling of this rather difficult part
leaving nothing to be desired. Anita

New York, Dec. 12.-Rather than be
separated from Alexander Berkman,.
her companion of years, Emma Gold-
man announced tonight through her
attorney th t she had abandoned her
legal fight n the supreme court to
prevent her deportation to Soviet
Russia with Berkman and some 80
other radicals.
Prefers Deportation
Miss Goldman, the attorney stated,
preferred jail or deportation, "to con-
tinued custody on Ellis Island," where
she is held by emigration officials.
The refusal of the supreme court
to delay Berkman's deportation, her
attorney said, also had led Miss Gold-
man to abandon her fate. He quoted
her as saying that "if Berkman must
go, I and the rest will go with him."
\Later a statement was issued by
Miss Goldman in which she, said:
Ready to Go
"I desire to go as boon as possible
to Soviet Russia and' I expect the
government to keep its promise to de-
port Berkman and myself as well as
other Russians within 10 days. Citiz-

The Northern Baptist convention re-
cently selected Doctor Lerrigo as the

plan to take up some line of chris-
tian work.
FACULTY CONCERT POSTPONED

On account of the fuel situation the
complimentary faculty concert an-
nounced for Sunday afternoon has
been postponed. The new date will be

FRA1TERNITY MEN WILL
GET. ATHLETES' NAMES

SCHOOL MEN WITH
MICHIGAN,
"Immediate action is necessary" was'
the gist of the message given to the
representatives gathered at a meet-
ing of the athletic committee of the
Interfraternity conference held yes-
terday afternoon in the Union.
Start Work Now
The meeting, which was well at-
tended, was called with the intention
of impressing on the fraternity repre-
sentatives- the necessity of starting,
their ndenon the work of gathering
names immediately. Under the pres-
ent plan all fraternity men are to
get in touch with athletes, football
men and others, through personal ac-
quaintance and by writing coaches and
sport writers in their home towns.
Will Send Out Literature
The men are to write personal let-
ters to likely athletes, and hand their,
names to the central!"Interfraternity
athletic committee, which will, send
them University literature. The com-
mittee expects that by the first of next
semester it will have a mailing list of
more than 1,000 names.
At yesterday's meeting assess-
ments were levied on all fraternities
participating in the csmpaign, to de-
fray expenses which will be incurref.
The next meeting is scheduled for
Monday afternoon.
Student Volunteers I[eet Tonight

Of ensemble dancing there was
none, but the little milliners and the
Spanish dancers filled this deficit.
Acting Good
The acting, as a whole, was very
fair, but some of the male stars seem
to forget that "all the wrld loves a
lover"--and so does the girl. Even
one who is not an adept at this gen-
tle art can detect too conservative an
attitude on the part of certain nobles
of Roniancia. (Fitting name-that, but
they don't live up to it.)
Chorus Above Average
. The chorus, usually the offendez in
campus theatricals; evidenced the re-
suits of careful and efficient 'diree-
tion. A larger stage might have al-
lowed more freedom of motion.
The scenery, costumes, and lighting
effects constitute a colorful' back-
ground for the action of the play. Fu-
turistic art will have its say, even in
the revival of an old' favorite like
"Red Feather."
STUDENTS SUPPORT PLAN
FOR POOR'S CHRISTMAS
FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES

CHILDREN
Success of the plan to clothe and en-
tertain Ann Arbor's poor children
through the generosity of fraternities
and- sororities was made certain at the
general meeting of representatives of
houses Friday afternoon in Lane hall
A 100 per cent record was tiade by the
sororities, every house arranging to
outfit and entertain at least one child.
Twenty fraternities promised to take
at least one-boy, clothe him, and give
him a real Christmas party, Most of
the dormitories and University houses
have already made arrangelments
Has More Names
Those fraternities and house clubs
which did not send representatives to
the meeting Friday will' ho assigned
a boy if they will get in touch with
J. E. Goodwillie, '20E, Saturday morn-
ing or Monday at Lane hall.
Fraternities and house clubs agree-
ing to take care of from one to three

dae and Tuesday, under the direction

.all buildings on the campus, and the
University public will have an oppor-
tunity to contribute.
YOUR PART IN THE
SOLUTION OF THE
ATHLETIO PROBLEM
The first game of the 1919-20 basket-
ball schedule of the University will be
played at Waterman gymnasium to-.
night.. Despite the fact that the riv-.
als who have been picked for the first
contest are not considered the strong-
est opposition in the west, they are in
position to test the strength of the
Wolverine five.
The game this evening offers the
students of the University their first
opportunity sinc.e the close of the foot-
ball season to give evidence of their
support ~ of a Michigan Varsity, even
in the face of the football disaster.
This year's Varsity basketball squad
is untried. The men have been work-
ing hard and have been. scrimmaging
among themselves, yet they have not
yet been in an actual game.
A great deal depends on the outcome
of the first battle of the season.. One
of the best ways of being of service
to the University is to help the team
win. Help it win by giving it your
shortage as soon as the fuel supp
in the various regions justifies it.
