SENIOR LIT CLASS
TO HONOR WENLEY
Prof. Robert M. Woniey is- tle
faculty member of the University to
whom the senior section of the Mich-
iganensian is to be dedicated it was
decided at a meeting of the senior lit-
erary clas Wednesday afternoon.
The lagest attendance of the year
marked the transaction of important
business including the appropriation
of more than $100 for the purchase of
jerseys for the class football team. A
report of the invitation committee
stated that covers for the invitations
have been selected. Roy Chandler,
'20, was chosen to write the class his-
tory.
The amount of class dues was de-
cided upon with the agreement that
in the future any further need for
funds would be met by assessment.

FOR ASSISTANCE ON
REFERENDUM

FAMOUS ACCOMPANIST TO
ASSIST' IN RENDITION
Three famous arias besides several'
groups of French, Italian, and Eng-
lish songs will distinguish the pro-
gram that Riccardo Stracciari, the
Italian operatic baritone, will offer
at the Choral Union concert at 8
o'clock this evening in Hill auditor-
ium with the assistance of Isaac Van
Grove, one of the finest accompanists
in the country.
A Linquist
Like most European artists Mr.
Stracciari is a linquist with a reper-
toire of Spanish, French, English,
Italian, and Russian. He did not
know a word of English until eight
months ago when he began studying
the language. His unusual proficien-
cy is a test of his linguistic skill.
Program Announced
The program is as follows:
Aria-"Oh, casto flor mi sospir,"
from "Re d'Lahore" ...... Massenetj
Cade la sera (Shadows of Even-
ing) ........ ........Mililotti
Star vicine (only smile, I will ask
nothing more).......Salvator Rosa

Editor, The Michigan Daily:--
Having had occasion'to observe the
r and operation of Tuesday's'referendum on
bring the peace treaty and the covenant of
treaty the League of Nations I feel impell-
;omor- ed to express the opinion that the
i lead- campus is under real obligations to
Mar- the Student council committee under
the chairmanship of Mr. Fred J. Petty
for the efficient manner in which it
handled the matter, and to The Mich-'
were igan Daily for the effective publicity
,lead- which it gave to the proposition. I
:hcock believe that nothing is more impor-
Oaager tant to the future of Michigan spirit
r Un- than the possession and regular use
Demo- of efficient machinery for the crystal-
Demo- ization and clear'expression of cam-'
orrow pus sentiment uponu any question
nes to which may effect the university.
emely Organizations Vital
Without such organization and such
leads activity the 8,000 individuals which
s pre- make up the campus community will
n re- remain a heterogeneous mass without
common desires, will, or purpose. And,
hough the creation of a keen group con-
tifica- sciousness offers, I believe, the real
d sev- solution of most of our University
ecure problems, including that of athletics.
epar-I f this be true the recent refrendum
artal was of value because it created and
ue of expressed the public opinion of the
it for group upon an important question.
- Public opinion everywhere develops
through use and atrophies through
. such disuse; the moral is obvious. The
e au- Michigan Union, the Student Council,
>f the and The Michigan Daily, with other
f sub- lesser organizations may render in
this connection a service of the high-
est order to the University.
S Expresses Opinion
If I may be allowed a few' more
[SM lines, I should like to express my own
opinion 'regarding the ratification of
'etary the peace treaty. T believe that it
te of would be little short of a'national ca-.
rticle lamity to throw the issue into the
ef in coming campaign; first, because it7
would delay a resumption of the

least 14 months, second, because it
would be impossible to obtain any
conclusive mandate from the ,people
upon the subject, and, third, because
it would inevitably tend to submerge
and obscure the other issues of the
campaign, many' of which are, of vital
and urgent importance. I believe,
with Mr. Bryan, that inasmuch as the
Republicans have the majority in the
senate, andtherefore the responsi-
bility, the Democratic senators should'
recognize the necessity of compromis-
ing upon a Republican and not upon
a Democratic basis. If the president
then refuses to accept the compromise
and pigeonholes the treaty he will be
in a position of political isolation on
this question,-nor will it be "splen-
did isolation."

As to the Lodge reservations, I re-
gard the principle involved in one of
them, that on article X, as vital. I be-
lieve that this article was intended to,
and that it would morally bind our
government, including congress, to
interfere in the affairs of other na-
tions if advised to do so by the coun-,
cil of the League as provided by the!
article. Do we wish to be so bound'
for the future? If we intervene in any
