REAR_ ING iiM Senators Dev the L REGENTS EXTEND RULE F OR PHYSICAL TESTS Accept Loan Fund Donated by Soro- sis Alumnae of Detroit Upon vote of the Board of Regents at its meeting, yesterday the title of the department of rhetoric was chang- ed to the department of rhetoric and journalism in recognition of the con- stantly increasing importance which is being placed on instruction in news- paper work. Prof. Fred N. Scott will continue to be the head of the reorganized de- partment, and will bear the rank of professor of rhetoric and journalism. Prof. John L. Brumm, who has here- tofore held the rank of associate pro- fessor of rhetoric, was given the rank of professor of journalism. Professor Brumm is directly in charge of all courses in which newspaper instruc- .tion is given at present. Action Result of Petition The action taken is the direct re- sult of the petition presented to the Regents in February by representa- tive newspaper men of Michigan re- questing that instruction in journalism be placed on an equal footing with other departments. The petition en- dorsed the work now given, and re- quested that the curriculum in jour- nalism be broadened as rapidly as fa- cilities permit. A resolution was addpted by the Regents calling for an extension of the system of physical examinations for University.students. Previous to this year only freshmen have been subject to examination. It is plan- ned to examine an additional class each year until all students will be subject to annual physical examina- tions. To Examine Sophs It is probable that the members of the sodhomore class will be called up for examination before the end of the present semester. Next year, ac- cording to present plans, freshmen, sophomores and juniors will be ex- amined. The following year all class- es will be affected by the new ruling. The change brought about by the res- olution is in keeping with the Univer- sity policy to enlarge the scope of the Health service, and to offer all stu- dents the opportunity for physical de- velopment and correction of physical defects. Accept Loan Fund- , A loan fund of '$100 annually for girls in the second semester of their senior year was accepted by the Re- gents from the Detroit alumnae of the Collegiate Sorosis Sorority. Senator Charles A. Sink reported the gift to the Stearns' musical collection, of an outfit of tuning and repairing tools which were formerly the proper- ty of Henry Sampson, of Ypsilanti. The following resolution was adopt- ed upon the recent death of Charles B. G. de Nancrede, professor emeritus of surgery in the Medical school: "Whereas - The recent death of Charles B. . de Nancrede marks the passing from the academic and social life of the University of a distinguish- ed surgeon, a great teacher, and a re- fined and cultivated gentleman of high ideals and of true University type; "Resolved-That the Board of Re- gents expresses its affetiouate appre- ciation of him and extends to his fam- ily and friends its sympathy in a mu- tual sorrow," (Continuea on Page Six) BOTH SIDES FOR MEA (By As Washington, bate in the sen ward a vote on tion arrangedi both friends a adoption.

Gives Legal Tone To Crease ljance From the weather prediction to the advertisements, a delightful take-off on The Daily columns, the annual Crease paper made its appearance at the senior law dance last night at the Union and contributed in no small degree to the legal atmosphere of the occasion. LEADERS WISH TO BRING BACK CUSTOM ON CAMPUS Excellent results were achieved the second day of the movement among Varsity men for the wearing of "M" sweaters and caps on the campus, ac- cording to athletic captains who were interviewed yesterday. The marked increase in the number wearing let- ters was noticeable everywhere, caps being particularly favored by the let- ter men. The object of the movement, accora- ing to the men who are sponsoring it, is, not to require them to wear insig- nia at all times, but merely to make its appearance on the campus so common that the men may feel comfortable when they do wish to appear in it. COstom at Other Colleges R. Jerome Dunne, captaip-elect of football, said that Michigan was quite unlike a number of other schools vis- ited by athletic teams, where Varsity men make it a practice to wear their letters at all times. He added that "M's" can only be worn at college and the men while here should appre- ciate the honor that they have won and be eager to wear them. Capt. Lawrence Butler, of track, said that an "M" represents a real achieve- ment and the men should be able to wear it without fear of creating a wrong impression. Once the move- ment is started and some appear in sweaters and caps all the men can feel free to put them on at any time. Farrell Adds Word Coach Stephen J. Farrell added his endorsement to those of the other coaches, saying that men will feel that an "M" stands for something much more real when those who have earn- ed them can be made to stand out from the rest of the students. In this way a strong inducement is offered to those who are trying out and some real sat- isfaction given to those who have worked hard to earn them. Prof. Cross Will Visit South Seas Coming Summer{ Prof. Arthur L. Cross, of-the history department, has completed plans for a trip to the South Pacific this summer, with a visit to the island of Tahiti as his chief object. He will start the latter part of June and will stay till the middle of September, joining an old friend and college classmate, Har- rison W. Smith, a well known traveler and explorer, at the island. The chief object of the trip is recre- ation, according to Professor Coss, although he plans at the same time to make a comparative study of British and French methods of colonial gov- ernment, Tahiti being a French pos- session.I The course in the British empire that Professor Cross had announced for the Summer session this year will be given by Prof. Paul Van Brunt Jones, of the University of Illinois, a brother-in-law of Prof. Charles H. Cooley, of the sociology department. Professor Jones was characterized by Professor Cross as one of the most prominent of the younger men in the field of English history. son, Democrat, Arkansas; and sup-f ported by Senators Borah, Idaho; Kel- logg, Minnesota; McCormick, Illinois, and other Republicans. During debate, Senator Pomerene. Democrat, Ohio, filed a minority re- port signed by all present Democratic members of the foreign relations com- mittee insisting that the resolution "would prove' a disappointment" and asserting it was an attempt "to usurp the President's treaty making pow- ers." That the Knox resolution would in- terfere with present German repara- tions negotiations was emphasized' today by its opponents. Senator Hitch- cock declared the measure "Inoppor- tune." He charged that Republicans, by failing to speak in support of the measure, were in "a conspiracy of sil- ence' and also were' attempting to3 "flout" the President by dictating terms for the settlement with Ger- many. This was denied by Senators Kellogg and Reed, the latter declaring that Mr. Harding has "invited" adoption of1 the resolution.t UPPERCLASS MEETING CALLED FOR, TOMORROWl SUPPLEMENT TO HONOR DAI1LY'S 30TH BIRTHDAY PICTURES OF DAILY PLANT AND PAPER'S HISTORY TO FEA- TURE EDITION The thirtieth anniversary of The Michigan Daily will be commemorat- ed in the feature section of tomorrow's paper. It will be an attraction such as has not been equaled since the "Sleep edition". of The Daily which caused such a furor on the campus last February. The staff which has prepared this supplement has devot- ed its best effort toward making it a memorable success. Among the various features of this edition will be a set of photographs depictinghe Daily office with the staff hard at work. Accompanying these pictures wil be a complete his- tory of the publication from the time of its birth up to its present-day de- gree of development, presenting the remarkable strides forward which The Daily has been taking in its 30 years of existence on the Michigan campus. A thorough explanation of the aims, policies, and methods whicl} 'The Daily seeks to employ throughout its organ- ization will add one more interesting feature to this different and distinctive Sunday supplement. JUNIORS AND SENIORS TO CUSS SEVERAL CAMPUS PROBLEMS )IS- Upperclassmen will hold their third meeting this year for discussion, of campus problems at 3:30 o'clock to- morrow afternoon in the assembly hall of the Union, according to an an- nouncement made by LeGrand A. Gaines, '21E, president of the Student council. William C. Palmer, '22L, who was appointed chairman of the traditions committee at the first meeting on Jan. 23, has a list of traditions drawn up in detail and they will be considered for adoption or rejection. An effort will be made to keep the traditions which are worth while and to elimin- ate those which are out of ,date. The coming All-campus election will be one of the main points discussed. Other questions will be convocations and regular upperclass meetings for next year and the attitude of the cam- pus toward keeping off the grass, TOLEDO ALUMNI TO EFFECT REORGANIZATION SHORTLY Toledo alumni began work on plans to reorganize the Michigan graduates of that city at a meeting Wednesday. During the war, the alumni gather- ings ceased and since that time no attempt has been made to renew the organization until the present time. Prof. John L. Brumm, of the rhetor- ic department, was present at the gathering and made a talk. Formal organization will take place in about two weeks and an attempt will tlen be made to bring together the large num- ber of Michigan graduates now resid- ing in Toledo,. Prof. Talamon Speaks in Grand Rapids Prof. Rene Talamon of the French department delivered a lecture on a Study Course in French last night be- fore the Alliance Francais at Grand Rapids. This lecture was given un- der the auspices of the University Extena.ion service. SAND BOUNCE TOE OFFER. CONCERT AND _FOUR ACTS Four acts and a concert by the Var- sity band will constitute the pro- gram of the Spring Band Bounce to be held next Thursday in Hill audi- torium. One act has already been de- cide°upon by the committee, of which. S. R. Bidwell, '23, is chairman. The "Darling Four-tette" is to ap- pear for the first time this year in an altogether new assortment of songs and will be composed of the four mem- bers that have always been well re- ceived at campus productions. A 40-minute program will be given by the Varsity band, led by Capt. Wilfred B. Wilson. The numbers have not been definitely decided on as yet by the committee, but a number of pieces have been practiced on by the band for more than two months. A short and snappy program is promis- ed, fully up to standards of past years. The proceeds from the Bounce will be used to buy new uniforms for the band and to send it on trips with the Varsity teams. Lack of funds is a serious handicap to the band at the present time, according to officials of that organization, and it is hoped that enough will be realized to greatly en- large its size and activities. RADICAL DISCUSSION NEEDED FOR ADVANCEMENT - COOLEY That a discussion of radical ideas and projects is necessary to the ad- vancement of learning and civiliza- tion was emphasized by Prof. Charles Cooley, of the sociology department, in a lecture on the "Value of Radical Discussion" delivered last night at a meeting of the Intercollegiate Socialist society which was held in room P 162 Natural Science building. Every phase of Law school routine and as well as recreation comes in for its share of publicity and judging from the originality and timeliness of the various articles the paper might well be called a compilation of scoops. Classified advertisements, a "what's going on column", and a Daily offi- cial bulletin contribute to the variety of material in the number and give ample opportunity for a review of time-honored lost advertisements and announcements of campus functions. All the famous characters of the Law school are given a chance to see their names in print, varying from an an- nouncement that Henry M. Bates would appear in "Pragmatism and the Constitution" at the Maj to the signa- ture of our old friend Noah Count, who has contributed an offspring of his famous "Telescope" to the paper in the form of a column headed "The Microscope". Clever satire and .genuine humor combine to make the number a pleas- ing souvenir and a bit of reading ma- terial calculated to appeal to the tastes of even the most critical of readers.t Players To Give Spanish Dramaj Jose Echegary's masterpiece, "The Great Galeoto", will be presented May 25 and 26 in Sarah Caswell Angell hall by the Players club. The drama, which is to be given in English as translated by Barrett H. Clark, is an intense problem play, and its author is considered one of the foremost Spanish dramatists. The necessary adaptions for stage presentation have been made by Prof. R. D. T. Hollister, of the public speak- ing department, and the play will be presented under his direction. The cast has been selected and is now practicing. Special scenery has been planned by the stagecraft com- mittee., Following are the meinbers of the1 cast: Dorothy Dodds, '21, Harold B.i Lipsitz, '22, M. Josephine Shaffer, '21, R. S. Tubbs, '22, J. Philip Holden, '22, W. F. Hanselman, '22, Almond Fair- field, '21, Robert Fitzgerald, '22, Ches- ter F. Kuhn, 22, and Elizabeth J. Hamer, '22.
