"Loca Professor Says Meteoric Rain
Predicied For HYid-NYay Ih Posbe
"It is quite possible that the earth?
will experience a meteoric shower
from the Pomg-Winecke comet that
appears the middle of next month,"
said Prof. W. J. Hussey, director of
the observatory, yesterday, in discuss-
ing the prediction of Prof. A. O.
Leuschner, of the astronomy depart
ment of the University of California.
In case the earth's'orbit is near that
of the approaching comet, tqhich was
first observed very faintly on April 10,.
the earth's attraction can be expect-
ed to divert some of the Mpeteoric ma-
terial in itsswake. The shower will
be more spectacular than serious,
however, according to Professor Hus-
sey, as we regularly experience such
minor showers during the months of
August and November.
Professor Leuschner, who made the

prediction, is a graduate of Michigan
of the class of 1888, and is an author-
ity in the field of comets and minor
planets, according to Professor Hus-
sey. He has done a great deal of in-
vestigating in the subject and has
been director of the astronomical ob-
servatory at Berkeley, California, for
more than 25 years.
OFFICALS RAS
HYIN LCUE
(By Associated Press)
Washington, April 26.- Without a
record vote, the senate late today
passed the budget bill. Brief, ebate
preceded final vote on ' he measure
which was introduced originally by
Senator McCormick, Republican, Illin-
ois, passed by both 'senate and house
of the 66th congress, vetoed by ex-
president WilsonF and then re-passed
by the house with the section found
objectionable stricken out. The sen-
ate, ,however, failed to act on the
measure after the ex-President's veto.
The measure, as passed today now
goes to the house as re-passage is
necessary on account of the change in
admiistratioi. Prompt action hag
been promised.
The bill provides for a bureau of the
budget in the treasury department to
pre are estimates of appropriations
nee ed by the various departments.
The bureau would have as its head
a director of the budget, appointed
by the President with the consent of[
the -seaate for a term of seven years
with an annual salary of $10,000.
PROF. HAYDEN ENDORSES BHLL
In :speaking of the passage of the
budget bill by the senate, Prof. J. R.
Hayden, of the political science de-
partment, characterized the move as
a step in advance.
"The bill, which was vetoed >by ex-
President Wilson because of a tech~
nicality, is now free from the feature
which was objected'to," said Professor
Hayden. "In its present Corm it sat-
isfies the cry for an administrative
bqdy that will supervise expenditures.
It' is not a perfect bill, but is the be-
ginning of a real bugetary system.
"The feature in the bill which stip-
ulates a seven year ;term for the di-
rector of the budget tends to take the
offlie -partially out of politics. Of
course, some objection may be raised
that such a term is inadvisable, on the
supposition that' an official may be
selected at some time 'who does not
prove to be the one fitted for the
position.
"As a whole the bill is a move to-
ward bet.ter government, and careful
expenditure."

SPRING SPOTLIGHT
SCORES SUCCESS
Union Orciestra Makes Excellent
Showing; Quartette Makes
Big Hit
SINGING OF McCANDLES
RECEIVES HEARTY APPLAUSE
(By F.B. D.)
One thing that should go in'the lead
sentence of the story of last night's
Spring Spotlight is the fact..that the
Michigan Union orchestra is a good
orchestra the minute you put a piano
in it. The overtures played by that
group of musicians were real music
and it appears that an excellent prece-
dent has been set for' next year's
opera.
The act that went best in the vaude-
ville, if applause be any criterion, was
the quartette composed of Albert
Schirmer, '22E, Paul Wilson, '23L,
Thomas Underwood, "21, and Kemp
Keena, School of Music. Schirmer, all
rolled up in a couple of yards of black
taffeta (or was it crash?) made an im-
pressive prima donna entrance which
put the audience in a responsive mood
from the start.
Oriental Skit Good
"The Watermelon Thief", an Orien-
tal skit played by Charles Kuhn, '22,
and Carl Guske, '22, was worth while.
Despite the fact that the landlady that
sat in back of us didn't seem to gather
just what it was about and so took
occasion to tell the idiosyncracies of
the student in the third floor back to
her sympathetic neighbor, we enjoyed
that bit of thievery from beginning to
end.
The mandolin sextette was some-
thing a bit different from the usual

DEAN EFFINGER ENDORSES
NEW EXAMINATION SCHEME
"Eventual adoption of the honor
system throughout the literary, col-
lege is now a certainty," said Fred J.
Petty, '21, president of the senior lit-
erary class, yesterday.
"The action taken by the- faculty at#
their Monday meeting insures the
gradual adoption of the system. But
of course it is only possible to insti-
tute the honor system in a school the
size of the University of Michigan by
gradually extending it from the sen-
ior classes to the lower classes," con-
tinued Petty.!
"The faculty, in recommending thek
adoption of the honor system in -the
Junior classes, has shown that it ap-
proves of the success of the system in
last semester's examination in courses4
where seniors predominated. a
"The honor system in this Univer-
sity will place scholastic work on a
much higher plane and is a most de-]
sirable thing," said Petty.
Dean John R. Effinger heartily ap-
proved of the action taken by the fac-1
ulty.
Robert C. Angell, '21, chairman ofj
the honor committee of .the senior1
class, says: "The action taken by the]
faculty atr last Monday's meeting isj
most gratifying to all members of thel
