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.

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. U.

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.
