DELEGATES BACK
FROM CONVENTION
Returning Monday night to Ann Ar-'
ber from the Student Volunteer con-
*erence held in Des Moines, Ia., from
Dec. 31 to Jan. 4, waore than 60 dele-
gates from the University of Michi-
gan, representing seven denomina-
tions, brought back with them the call
to American youth to spread Christian
teachings throughout the world.
Eight thousand students from al-
most every college and university in
the United States and Canada, as well
as representatives from 40 foreign
countries, assembled in the Coliseum
in Des Moines last Tuesday afternoon
for the opening meeting of the conven-
tion.
John R. Mott, secretary of the Stu-
dents' Christian federation, first ad-
dressed the vast throng of delegates.
During the five days of the conver.-
tion the delegates were addressed by
eminent missionary speakers who em-
phasized the church demand upon col-
leges for Christian leaders. Organi-
zation is already under way among
the delegates from Michigan to prop-
agate the missionary spirit through-
out the University.

ATHLETIC COMMITTEE UNABLE
TO MAKE DEFINTE REPORT
Michigan's athletic situation was not
forgotten during the holidays if the re-
ports of numerous of the campus sec-
tional clubs may be taken as a crite-
rion. These clubs have gone about
boosting Michigan in different ways,
but to a common purpose.
At the Saginaw high school reunion,
held during the holidays and attended
by all high school 'students, practi-
cally the entire personnel of the Sagi-
naw club wasdpresent, as well as many
Michigan graduates. -While it was im-
possible to formally talk Michigan to
athletes at this meeting, such men
were approached informally, and the
assurance of the co-operation of the
alumni in a Michigan campaign was
obtained. Plans were laid for a stren-
uous campaign this spring.
Song Rook Printed
To interest especially members of
the Calumet high football team, who
were contenders for the Upper Pen-
insula championship, the Copper Coun-
try club had printed the Siren, the
official song book of the Calumet high
school. Besides containing college and
l1tgh school songs the Siren contains
a short review of Mithigan athletics
and a letter from the Copper Country
club urging Michigan as the Univer-
sity for high school seniors. The slo-
gan, printed at the bottom of each
page of the book was, "Ferry Field
next fall."

tween 30 and 40 undergraduates at-
tended the smoker held during the

WOMEN AT ELIS ISLAND
FIGHT MOVIE PHOTOGRAPHERS
(By Associated Press)
New York, Jan. 6.- Another raid
was made late today by department of
justice agents on the Russian soviet
newspaper Novi Mir. Fourteen amen
and one woman who were attending a;
meeting of the Communist party were
arrested. The agents also found cards
on which were the names, of 1,000
Communists throughout the United
States.
While the raid was in progress 57
more alien plotters including Alex-
ander Dorman, said to be leader of
New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvan-
ia Communists arrived at Ellis I-
land under guard to take their places
with the other hundreds swept up
in the government's dragnet of foreign
revolutionaries.
Outbreaks Reputed
At the island the first outbreaks:
since the beginning of the depart-
ment of justice raids were reported.
The "Ellis. Island soviet," established
by Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman and their companions- who
are now on the way to Russia on' the
"Ark" Buford came to new light in
two revolts.
-Gregory Weinstein hailed as Trot-
zky's closest friend in the United
States, and "chief of staff" Ludwig C.
A. K. Martens "ambassador" of soviet
Russia, refused .to be -photographed
and fought desperately when half a
dozen inspectors forced them to
"pose" for the official camera.

PUBLICATIONS IN
NEW OFFICES NOW
Removing from the restricted quar-
ters formerly ;used on the first floor,
campus publications are now housed,
with the reopening of college, on the
second floor of the new addition to
the Ann Arbor Press building.
Offices of the publications affected
by the change are the business and
editorial offices of The Daily, Gar-
goyle, Chimes, Michiganensian, Di-
rectory, Athletic Program, and the of-
fice of Prof. E. R. Sunderland, chair-
man of the board in control of student
publications.
The work of finishing the offices is
still under way, but the completion of
the new additions is expected shortly,
according to Professor Sunderland.
The business and editorial offices of
The Daily occupy the right half of the
addition. Offices of the other publi-
cations occupy the rest of the second
floor. They are separated from each
other by railing partitions three feet
in height. f
The entire first floor of the build-.
ing is hereafter to be used by the
Ann Arbor Press.

ING CRITICAL, PROGRAM
DECLARES
(By Associated Press)
New York, Jan. 6.-Material in-
creases in teachers' salaries were urg-
ed today in a program formulated by
public education officials from nine
eastern sates as a means of reliev-
ing a critical shortage of teachers
which has closed hundreds of public
schools and, threatens to close more.
"The public schools of the nation are
facing a critical situation," says the
program. "There are being employed
as teachers, large numbers of persons
who dq not possess the qualifications'
that hitherto have been required. A
loss of students in the state normal
schools amounting to 21 to 30 per
cent and in some states 50 per cent In-
dicates that young persons are turning
their attention to other occupations
than teaching."
"Commercial 'and industrial oppor-
tunities are not only attracting teach-
ers from the schools but they are
driving away from supervisory posi-
tions in education those upon whom{
reliance for leadership should be
placed. 1

BERGER ESCORTED OUT OF,
JERSEY CITY BY POLICE

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, scientist anda
explorer, who willteure at 8 o'clock'
Saturday evening' in Hill auditorium,
has had three medals bestbwed on him
for his achievements in the arctic re-
gions.
Peary Presents One ' v
A year ago in December the Am-
erican Geographical society gave him
the Daly medal. In January the Geo-
graphical Society of America award-
ed him the Kane medal, and the Na-
tional Geographical society honored
him with the Hubbard medal, Rear-
Admiral Robert E. Peary, discoverer
of the north pole, presenting it to
him.
It was through Stefansson's efforts
that more than a quarter of a million
miles of land in the arctic regions
regions were mapped.'
Originates Expedition
Stefansson originated and planned
the Storker Strokerson expedition,
which made several important scien-
tific discoveries, but he was prevent-
ed from taking this trip at the last
moment because of illness. The party
started from Victoria, . C., in June
1913, the original plan being to study
barren arctic wastes for the Canadian
government. Though it failed in its
original purpose, many important facts
were established.

ISTRAR ARTHUR G.
HALL
Pamphlets explaining' in detail the
courses in military science and tactics
for students in the literary college
have been published and are now 'eb-
tamnable in the registrar's offlee, ac-
cording to Registrar Arthur G. Hall.
Special attention is called to the
fact that all literary students who en-
roll in, these courses before Feb. 7.
1920, will be given credit towards a
commission but not towardsgradua-
tion for the present semester's work.
According to Lieut. Col. Robert Ar-
thur, students electing the prerequi-
site course A 1 in military science, and
tactics before Feb. 7 will be recom-
mended for a commission if their work
merits it, while those waiting until
next fall to enroll will probably be re-
quired to take an examination before
a.commission is awarded.
The pamphlet states that all mill-
tary courses must be elected in the
same manner as any other course, and
also must be upon the regular elec-
tion blank.
The first prerequisite course A 1 of
the basic group of military courses is
given by Lieut. Col. John P. Lucas,
and offers one hour credit. It con-
sists of organization, military cour-
tesy, discipline, infantry, arms and
equipment, firing manual, hygiene,
first aid, sanitation, minor tactics,
morale.
The advanced group of courses treat
of subjects pertaining to the coast ar-.
tillery. Successful , completion of
both the basic and advanced group of
subjects together with attendance at a
specified summer camp accompanying
the latter will lead to a recommenda-
tion for commission as officer of the
reserve corps.
Additional information concerning
the courses may be obtained from Col-

Prof. J. A. C. Hildner and A. M. El-
kind, '19, representatives of the Mich-
igan Cosmopolitan club at the recent
national convention in Syracuse, suc-
ceeded in securing the next annual
convention for Ann Arbor.
Michigan was almost unanimously
chosen in preference to the competing,
universities on account of the large
size of its chapter and its central loca-
tion. President Harry B. Hutchins
wired a cordial invitation to the dele-
gates to attl'nd the 1920 convention in
Ann Arbor. A telegram was also re-
ceived from the Detroit Chamber of
Commerce inviting the members to
visit Detroit and to be present at a
banquet to be given in their honor.
Representatives of 20 universities
attended the Syracuse convention.
Among the many speakers were two
Michigan graduates, Charles Hurrey,
secretary of the committee of friendly
relations among foreign students, and
Dr. N. S. Hardiker, who came from
New York to speak on India.
It was decidei to hold an interna-
tional congress in Montivideo, Urug-
uay in 1921 and f preliminary con-
gress next August in Geneva.
