Dispatehles From Riga Say Both Sides
Finally Come to Agreement;
Start Negotiations
(By Associated Press)
Warsaw, Oct. 6-Dispatches from
Riga say that hostilities between the
Poles and the Russian Soviet forces
will cease Friday under an armistice
signed by the Polish and Soviet peace
delegates yesterday.
The cessation of hostilities between
Russia and the Poles will mark the
close of the most serious warfare fol-
lowing the world war. Fighting be-
gan in December, 1918; and reached
an acute stage when the Poles made
their first sweep eastward towards
Kiev which they captured, followed by
their gradual retreat until the Soviet
forces had again forced their way
westward and were threatening War-
saw.
The present negotiations were ini-
tiated about that time and have re-
sulted in anarmistice effective Fri-
day.
Tokyo, Oct. 6-Advices from north-
ern Korea say that a body of Russian
bolsheviks, Koreans, made a second
attack on Hunchun, a town of Man-
churia, near' the Korean frontier on
the night of Oct. 4 and engaged Jap-
anese troops, dispatched from Korea,
after the first attack on the town.

UPPEROGLASS ADISERS
HEAR PRESIDENT BURTON
CHAIRMAN EXPLAINS DUTIES;
FRESHMEN ASSIGNED
LATER
President Marion L. Burton spoke to
the upperclass-advisers to freshmen
last evening in the Union. He gave
various pointers for the workers to
carry out in their relations with the
first-year men.
The president was introduced by
Paul W. Eaton, '21, president of the
Union, who stated that the real duty
of advisers is to aid the freshmen in
finding their places on the campus,
and the relation each was to have in
the University life.
After the address of President Bur-
ton, Eaton introduced Albert Jacobs,
'21, chairman of the committee, who
briefly related how the plan is ex-
pected to work. Each adviser will
have four freshmen assigned to him
within the next few days, and each
of these men is to be visited inside
of two weeks and a report made to
the chairman.
President Appoints New Secretary
Miss Natalie Murphy, '15, has been
recently appointed secretary to Pres-
ident Marion L. Burton. Miss Murphy
fills the vacancy left by the departure
of Miss Beulah Davis for Detroit
where the latter is to be secretary
for Frank Cody, superintendent of
schools.
of the conference as well as in the
many receptions and dinners given
for the delegates by English officials,
Professor Scott took a prominent place
in the affairs of the convention.
The English government took the
opportunity afforded by the presence
of so many leading Americans to
strengthen the bonds between the two
countries by royally entertaining and
caring for them with dinners given
by the most prominent men in Eng-
land including the lord mayor of Lon-
don, and magnificient entertainments.
ProfessorScott spoke on the sub-
ject, "Teaching Journalism," at one
session of the conference, dealing
with various phases of the profession.
He also made several speeches during
the conference and on other occasions
including the dinner given by the lord
mayor where he was the spokesman
for the American delegation. ;&
Following the conference, Profes-
sor Scott visited Paris and made a
tour of the battlefields and scenes
prominent in the World War.
One of the outstanding features of
the conference was the appointment
of a committee of five Americans and
five Englishmen to aid and stimulate
interchanging research data and in-
formation from investigation, between
the two countries, with bibliographical
work as the point of main interest.
A report of the conference will be
made by Professor Scott at the Na-
tional conference of teachers of Eng-
lish to be held at Chicago during
Thanksgiving week.
BROOKLYN SCORES
3 TO 0 VICTORY
Superbas Blank Indians in Battle
Between Teams' Star
Hurlers
GRIMES EXHIBITS MARKED
SUPERIORITY OVER BAGBY
(By Associated Press)
New York, Oct. 6 - In a pitching
duel between the leading hurlers of
the National and American league,
Burleigh A. Grimes, Brooklyn's spit-
ball ace, today shut out Cleveland
3 to 0 in the second game of the
world series. His ability to hold the
Indians in check, when hits would
have meant runs, marked his superi-
ority over James 0. Bagby whom
Manager Speaker selected to add a
second game to the Cleveland string.
The victory, which placed Brooklyn
along the side of Speaker's Indians,
was due almost entirely to the excel-
lent hurling of Grimes, who had the
heavy hitting Clevelanders baffled
throughout the game, so far as con-
secutive bingling was concerned. With
the exception of the eighth inning,
when Grimes temporarily lost sight
of the home plate, Cleveland never
appeared in the light of a serious con-
tender.
The inability of the Indians to con-
nect with Grimes' slants, when hits
would have meant runs, is aptly illus-
trated by the fact that the Cleveland
clan got fourteen runners on the bags
of whom ten were stranded and four
retired by subsequent plays.
REGISTRATION FIGURES AT
UNION ONLY 3700 TO DATE
Registration figures at the Union
last night reached 3,700 which is 1,800
below the 5,500 expected by the time
all men have been registered. Upper
classmen and members of the graduate
school including all life members are,
strongly urged to register at once be-
cause officials believe that their delay
in registering is responsible for the
deficiency. The class of '24 has regis-
tered almost to a man.
UNIVERSITY WILL
UPHOLDSTUDENTS'
Committee to Settle Rooming Disputes
to be Appointed
Soon -
BOARD TO HAVE POWER OF
VETOING UNJUST CONTRACTS
Representatives from the landladies
of the city together with representa-
tives from the University are to be ap-
pointed in the near future to settle
all disputes over rooming problems.
Col. Joseph Bursey, who has been in
charge of the work the University has
done this fall to relieve the rooming
situation, said, yesterday that the def-
inite plans for the new arrangement
have not as yet been made but that
he hoped to see the committee func-
tioning within a week.
There will not be more than five
members of the proposed board and
it will adjust all differences between
the students and the landladies. This
board will have the power of nulli-
fying any contract it considers unjust
and it will also protect the students
from any injustice at the hands of
landladies.
The rooming situation is about the
same as yesterday. There is no short-
age, and asking prices are not so
high as earlier in the week.
Hall house, the temporary rooming
quarters provided by the University,
is still being used That not by so many
students as when it was first started.
Indications are that most of the stu-
dents are now located in permanent
rooms.
SENIOR MEN PRESENT
AT THIRD RECEPTION
PRESIDENT URGES WORK TO BE
DONE IN SPIRIT OF THE
ARTIST
Addressing more than 400 men of
the senior class at his third informal
reception held last night in the Union
Assembly hall, President Marion L.
Burton urged each member of this
year's graduating class to do his work
in the spirit of an artist. -
,"An artist," he said, "is a person
who can saturate his work with the
spirit of play."
President Burton shook hands with
all those present before he was form-
ally introduced to them as a body.
His parting words were an invitation
to each one to drop in and call on
him any time either at home or in his
office. The President and Mrs Burton
plan to hold open house on one night
each month for the student body in an
effort to get in personal touch with
the students.
Tonight marks the close of this ser-
les of receptions, when President Bur-
ton will meet the men of the sopho-
more class at 7:30 o'clock in the Un-
ion Assembly hall.
AWAIT FRATERNITY ROBBERY
CLUES FROM DETROIT POLICE
Although no clues have been secur-
ed as yet as to the thieves who ran-
sacked the Psi Omega and Phi Sigma
Kappa fraternity houses Monday night
disposing of a large amount of jewel-
ry and cash, information from pawn
shops in Detroit and vicinity is ex-
pected by local police soon which will
clear up the mystery surrounding the
affair.
In view of the large number of un-
employed men in Detroit at the pres-
ent time, fraternity houses will do
well, in the opinion of the chief of
police, to take extra precautions thisj
year against a series of systematic;
robberies which are almost sure to be
attempted in Ann Arbor.
WILL NOT REPEAT
FRESHMAN TESTS
Contrary to popular belief, fresh-
man efficiency tests conducted last
year were for experiment only, stated
Professor H. H. Higbie Wednesday.
The process will not be repeatedthis
year.
Aside from the fact that the tests
were highly expensive, the idea has not
had sufficient time to prove its prac-
ticability. Close observation of rec-
ords made by all men taking examin-
ations up to a period of five years
after graduation will be kept. The
object of the experiment is to deter-
mine whether or not a keen mind and
ability to grasp small details is not
more important than a mechanical
knowledge of the subject.
At Columbiauniversity where the
test was originated, it has been given
for several years. There it was found
that most of the men making the
campus honor societies had highest
standing in the general efficiency ex-
amination. Nevertheless its real val-
ue is not yet certain.

Plan First Proposed Two Years Ago;
Regents Approve i.t Recent
Meeting
SEVERAL UNIVERSITIES IN
ID-WEST NOW USE SYSTE31
That the University of Michigan at'
some time in the near future may have
a dean of men, similar to several oth-
er of the universities and colleges in
the mid-west, is shown by the recent
approval of the plan by the Board of
Regents. The plan was proposed at
the opening of school two years ago
and since that time has been discussed
by the various executive committees,
ending with an endorsement from the
Regents, although no legislative ac-
tion has been taken.
The idea of a dean of men originated'
in the University of Illinois several
years ago and since that time has been
adopted by Wisconsin, Iowa, and Min-
nesota.
The fundamental duty of a dean of
men is establishing a meeting ground
between the students and the execu-
tive deans, and having a more person,
al acquaintance with the students'
needs than the executives can acquire.
Under the present system at the Uni-
versity the meeting ground between
the men and the executives is best re-
cognized in the Committee on Student
Affairs, but this committee gets in
touch with the student only as he is
connected with some organization on
the campus, such as the Glee club or
the publications.
Under the system as developed at a
few of the other universities the dean
of men has supervision of attendance
and grades, and without interfering
with the discipline which is vested in
the deans of the various departments,
touch with the student only as he is
dent's work so that he can get the
best things in the class room and in
the activities of the school.
