MICHIGAN TRACKTEAM
AIVES AT BERKELEY
FoR AURDYSMEET
INTEREST IN CONTEST AT HIGH
PITCH ON CALIFORNIA
CAMPUS
(By a Special Correspondent)
Berkeley, Calif., April 5. - The 15
Michigan track athletes arrived here
safely at 7:40 o'clock this morning on
the Southern Pacific. The men went
at once to. the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
house, which has been vacated by the
members and turned over to the
Wolverines during their stay here.
The men spent most of the morning
exploring the campus and seeing the
noted sights of the campus. The
Campanile excited the most attention,
but the beauty of the campus in gen-
eral was most admired. The first real
workout since the team left Ann Ar-
bor was on the bill for the afternoon.
The runners loosened up stiff muscles
by long jogs on the cinders, and the
jumpers tried the pits. A large crowd
of California students were out on the
field to watch the Wolverine work-
outs. The interest in the meet is at
high pitch, an promises to increase
as the week progresses.
A hard practice has been promised
the men by Coach Farrell for tomor-
row, and following that the squadi will
rest until the meet, except for easy
jogging to keep in shape. The weight
men will work out every day.

RENT REGULATIONS
DISCUSSED IN LAW
REVIEW TREATISE
Alan W. Boyd, '21L, is the author
of a paper entitled, "Rent Regu-
lations Under Police Power," appear-
ing in the April number of the Law
Review which cqmes out today. The
article deals with legal conditions re-
sulting from the widespread housing
shorta caused by the cessation of
buildin during the war. Leading
opinions are quoted on both sides of
the question as to whether police reg-
ulations are able to solve the rent
situation. Boyd concludes with "The
choice is for the legislature alone,
however, not for the courts."
"Departure frm Precedent," by
Prof. H. W. Humble, of the Univer-
sity of Kansas, is an article .question-
ing whether the death of reasons for
legal doctrines should also cause the
death of the doctrines themselves.
What is said to be a complete dis-
sertation on the subject of watered
stocks and blue sky laws is an article
by William W. Cook, grad., of New
York City.
The usual departments of "Note'and
Comment," "Recent Important Decis-
ions," and "The History of Michigan
Constitutional Provision Prohibiting
a General Revision of the Laws," by
W. L. Jenks, of Port Huron, are said
t4( be worthy of note.
C. D. Allin, of the University of Min-
nesota, reviews Edwin DeWitt Dickin-
son's new book, ."The Equality of
States in International Law," which
concludes the current Law Review.

able ever delivered on the platform of

port of the Medical school and the
new University hospital, according to

CANFIELD GIVES ~ CAU S
FOR DCREASE IN STUDY
OF GERMAN AD RENCH
SPANISH BECOMES MORE POP.
LA AS OTHERS LOSE
FOLLOWERS
Recent decreases in the enrollments
in German and French and increases
in Spanish in high schools and col-
leges are the result of well-marked
tendencies in our educational system,
according to Prof. A. G. Canfield, head
of the romance languages department,
in commenting on an article in a re-
cent issue of "School and Society", a
magazine devoted to problems in edu-
cation.
Decrease Is Natural
The falling off in German, which
took place in the fall of 0918, will
not be offset to any extent within the
present generation, according to Pro-
fessor Canfield, although its manifest
cultural advantages and especially its
importance in scientific study will
bring it back eventually to something
like its former .position. The' de-
crease was a natural result of antipa-
thy during the war period and has
gone so far as to bring complete
elimination of the subject in all but
one of 200 high schools in the state.
In most cases the decrease in Ger-
,man was offset by a corresponding i-
crease in Spanish; according to Pro-
fessor Canfield. The enormous rise
of the study of Spanish is due to cos-
er? economic and political relations
with South America and is caised by
a real desire to learn the language, as
Is shown by the answers to questions
asked .of students in the department
at the University at the beginning of
the year. Practically without exep-
tion the reason for taking Spanish was
given as the desire to secure a talk-
ing and reading knowledge of the lan-
guage, as opposed to the wish of many
French students to learn the litera-
ture and culture of the people.
*Reaction Causes Decline
The decline in French study that
was noted, Professor Canfield said,
was due to the natural reaction from
the great interest in 'France during
the war and will continue for some
time as relations become less, close.
Another factor is the poor- teaching
that is given, particularly in the
smnaller high schools where special
teachers could not be secured. The
fvture of French lies with the quali,
ty of instruction that is given, the
professor believes, and as it improves
the enrollment in French will under-
go a revival.
SENIOR ENGINEERS TO PICK
MANAGER AND COMMITTEES
Election of a class baseball man-
ager and appointment of the Swing-
out committee will constitute the main
business at the meeting of the senior
engineers at 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning in room 348 of the Engineer-
ing building.
Other matters to be discussed will
include the report of the committee
on the code of ethics, which was ,ap-
pointed at the last meeting of the
class. A vote will be taken to deter-
mine the question of the wearing of
senior canes and the time for the
wearing of tann sulnd wns.
Senior Laws And
Faculty Gather
At Big 7anquet
Relations of the modern lawyer to
the requirements of his practice were
discussed at the banquet given by
the senior laws for the faculty of the
Law school last night in the Union.
More than 70 seniors were present out
of a total class enrollment of 100,
auguring well for the continuance of
these affairs which formerly were an
annual institution.
The first speaker, V. E. Crossley,
'21L, stated that such banquets are'
of great, importance in fostering the
closer relations between students and
faculty that are necessary if their
common problems are to be solved. He
then asserted that the present system
of examinations in the Law school is
unfair because it leaves daily work.
too much out of consideration.
Prof. Burke Shartell, who replied
for the faculty, said that the great
need at present is for the lawyer
whose lnoweldge of principles is sucli
that he can handle ca es upon which
no precedent has been established.
G. D. Clapperton, '21L, concluded
by sayfng that the pre-law student of
the present day can accomplish more
in his two-year preparation than the
ordinary man in four, due to the ob-
jective that the law always has before
/him.
Dean Henry M. Bates, the last
speaker, defended the examination
system as the most workable that can
be evolved, although he recognized its
faults. He then discussed "The Law-,
yer of the Future."
