Two let- ters, one sent by Frank W. Pennell, '12, former managing editor of The Daily, from New York, and the other from E. R. Hurst, now in Boston, ad- vance strong arguments in favor of resuming athletic relations with the East. Michigan alumni, who have gone to the East in great numbers, are desir- ous of seeing the- Wolveriens in ac- tion, both because it keeps them more in touch with the University, and be- cause it is the best means of inter- esting that section of the country in Michigan. Both writers feel that Michigan's true place is in the Con- ference, but that~some Eastern games should be scheduled each'year for the football and. baseball teams, and that Michigan should participate in the annual Eastern Intercollegiate track, and field meet. MAKES TOTAL OF $1,500 TWO DAYS OF DRIVE IN FIRSTI Lowell, Carr, Prof. Sunderland Prof. Reeves to Speak This Morning and "Training for Journalism," by Prof. F. N. Scott, of the rhetoric depart- ment, and "The Problems of Business Management," by Lee- A. White, of the Detroit News,,where the subjects dis- cussed at the Unio'n yesterday after- noon, the second day of the University Press club three-day convention. No session was held in the forenoon as only a small number of editors had arrived at that time.. Last evening the visitors were guests of -the Uni- versity School of Music at the Percy Grainger recital in Hill auditorium. "The newspaper is not a private business-it is a social Institution.. It is the basis upon which our democracy rests. It is from the newspapef by first or second hand that people ge, the truth which keeps them free." Such was Professor Scott's estima- tion of the newspaper. Afraid of Public "Some people think that the pub- lishers are afraid of advertisers, but - this is a great mistake. It is tb'd public of which the papers are afraid. They anxiously await every circula- tion statement," declared Mr: White who followed Professor Scott. Discussing particularly the training of the proprietor or editor-in-cheif. Professor Scott said: "The first re- quirement I would make ais that he should have a liberal education. He must know human nature and have broad sympathies. Continuing, he said that the proprietor must also have an instinct for truth and set the standard at "a passion for truth which would lead him to treat with wither- ing contempt all falsity." Must Be Gentleman Moral courage and a sunny dispos- ition were also named as vitally es- sential among the editor's qualifica- tions. Last of all he must.be a gen- tleman, Professor Scott insisting, "If he causes an injury, he will make a generous reparation for it. I regret to say that while many have reform- ed, it is still true that a newspaper who has kicked a man down will smear his face with mud while pretending to help him up." A. W. Stace, of the Grand Rapids Press, following Professor Scott, dis- cussed one or two points of the lat- ter's address. White Speaks "One of the gravest problems we (Continued on Page Eight) Editor, The Michigan Daily:l Since the close of the football sea- son, the press of the Eastern cities1 has been filled with discussion pf in-; tersectional games in 1921, and of an-j nouncements of games already sched- uled between the leading Eastern and, Western universities and colleges. We are told almost daily that Michigan is not averse to coming East, and we are also informed that such colleges as Yale, Harvard, and Princeton are not averse to going West. It seems pertinent, therefore, that at this time the University of. Michigan club of New York should place itself on rec- ord, and present a few facts as veiw-. ed by those of us who have our homes in the East. Alumni Come East More and more, it seems, since the conclusion of the war, there has been a steauy influx of Michigan graduates into cities along the Northern Atlantic seaboard. . To New York alone have come hundreds of the graduates of the more recent classes, and from these men, as well as from those of us who have been longer out of the Univer- sity, comes an ever growing demand for the appearance of Michigan teams, football, baseball, and track, in Eastern competition. Games Drew Well H'owever, we present this only as an incidental reason why Michigan should broaden its schedules to in- clude Eastern games. Athletics, un- fortunately perhaps, but nevertheless true, constitute the chief medium through which our universities get their principal publicity and recogni- tion among the class of young man- (Continued on Page Eight) BEVERIOGE OUTLINES SIX PRINCIPALS OF ORATORY Editor, The Michigan Daily: I note in the recent Boston papers that Princeton and Chicago have made a home and home arrangement for football games for the coming two years. ThIs morning's paper, in dis- cussing the Harvard football sched- ule, mentions the possibility of a game next year with Indiana, Kan- sas or Nebraska. The Eastern papers have suggested to a great extent 'of late the possibility of games between the East and Conference schools. I fail to notice, however, any ref- erence to the possibility of games with Michigan. Can it be possible that Michigan, who for years met va- rious Eastern schools, has abandoned all such games for the Conference, while the other .Conference, schools are now taking on the Eastern schools? Favored Retirn to Conference While I believe most of the alumni of the East favored Michigan's return to the Conference, we did not think that this meant the severing of all re- lations with Eastern schools. OFFICIALS COMPILE LIST OF ALUMNI IN CITIES Every Effort Will Be Made to Com-' plete Swimming Tank Before End of School Year Five hundred dollars was added to the Union swimming -pool fund yes- terday by Pond and Pond, of Chica- go, the architects of the building.. This, with the gift of Roy D. Chapin, '03, makes a total of $1,500 in two days. Officials of the drive are noW com- piling lists of the alumni in every city in the United States and this work will be completed in time be- fore the students leave Ann Arbor for the Christmas vacation. These. lists will be kept in the Union lobby for reference and each solicitor is ex- pected to obtain from them the names of the prospective donors in his town. Teams to Meet Early next week the campaign com- mittee plans to have a meeting of the teams who sign up the solicitors. At that time the details of the project will be explained and the requisite enthusiasm instilled in the workers. CONOPUS DINE FOOTBALL SQUADS Members of the Varsity football team, the reserves, the freshmen squads, and members of the Michi- gan Athletic association :were ten- dered a dinner last evening in the Union by the Conopus club, an or- ganization of Ann Arbor townspeo- ple. The banquet was served in the As- sembly hall of the Union to about 125 persons. Ray K. Immel of the oratory de- partment was introduced as toastmas- ter by Wm. L. Walz, while Frank B. Devine gave an appreciation of the football team. Billy Heston, of the All-time myth- ical eleven, a member of the '02 team, gave some reminiscences. John Schwer sang a solo. Angus Goetz, cap- tain of the team, spoke for the play- ers, and Prof. Ralph W. Aigler of the Law school responded for the Board in Control of Athletics. Short talks were given by others. INDUGSTRIAL COURT B EST FO R NATIORN --GOVERNOR ALLEN CAB1IT POSITION NOT DESIRED BY0 DAUGHERTY AND- PROMINENT REPUBLICANS HOLD CONFERENCE SENATORS CAN BETTER SERVE G.O.P. IN SENATE Massachusetts Representative Urges Hoosier to Remain at Present Post (By Associated Pres) Washington, Dec. 2.-EIlmination of Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, and New, of Indiana, as prospective members of President Harding's cab- inet was announced as a definite de- velopment of the visit here today of Harry M. Daugherty, of Ohio, advisor of the President-elect. Mr. Daugherty conferred with prominent Republicans Including Senators Lodge and New. There was no announcement of the subject or results. of the conference, but close friends of the two senators said both had advised Mr. Daugherty that they desired no cabinet position, believing that they could perform service for President Harding and their party by remaining in the senate. The Massachusetts senator made public a statement urging that course for Senator New. Friends of Sena- tor Lodge believe that his position regarding Senator New applied to himself as well. Many matters of legislation were said to have been discussed by Mr. Daugherty with his Republican con- ferees. Recitifies Long-Standing Wrongs Labor; Will Do Away with Radicals to Football is only one sport. How I about track and baseball?E Michigan has for years been at-1 tending the Eastern intercollegiate1 track meets, until last year, and I1 sincerely hope that Michigan's failure to participate last year was not due1 to any policy suggesting withdrawal, from the intercollegiate, but simply due to the peculiar conditions of last year. Up to this time, this has been Michigan's only participation in ath- letics of the East, I believe, since. 1914; and whether or not other activi- ties are scheduled, participation in the Eastern intercollegiate certainly. should be continued. Keeps Alumni Interested It is hard to overestimate the effect such participation has in keeping alive the interest of Michigan's alum- ni in the East. We here in Boston can see the direct result, and I note each time the intercollegiates are held at the Harvard stadium there is great interest among the Michigan alumni. Of course this is only part of the story, as at the same time the news- papers always carry considerable ac- count of the games, both before and after. I realize that there is considerable expense connected with the sending of teams, without very substantial fi- nancial return. I believe, however, the indirect return-that of keeping the spirit of Michigan alumni alive- is worth a great deal to Michigan. (Continued on Page Eight) Union officials yesterday called at- tention to the fact that the drive will not be limited to alumni of the Uni- versity. It is expected that a largeI portion of the fund will be subscrib- ed by men, who, though not formert University students, are none the less interested in Michigan through con- tact with its alumni or through the' various activities, such as the foot-' ball games, which draw them to Ann Arbor. Cards Passed Out After the life membership banquet last Wednesday evening pledge cards were passed out to the committeemen who worked in that campaign on which they indicated the amount they would endeavor to raise for the pool during the holidays. A total of 176 cards were signed and these averag- ed a fraction more than $26 each. If this is any indication of the manner in which the movement will be ac- cepted by the campus at large work will be staited on the pool shortly after the vacation ends, according to Union officials. Bids will be let as soon as it is assured that the necessary amount has been subscribed, it was stated, and every effort made to have the pbol completed befoer the, school year is ended. ABOLISHES EVERY FORM OF QUARREL EXCEPT STRIKES (By Associated Press) Harrisburg, Dec. 2.-Gov. Henry J. Allen, of Kansas, recommended today to the conference of governors here a nation-wide extension of the meth- od adopted in Kansas of setting up a Court of Industrial Relations. He cited many occasions on which he said the Kansas court had rectified long-standing wrongs to labor and declared that experiences in his state had proved that strife between capi- tal and labor should be settled through impartial adjudication rath- er than by arbitration. This method, he asserted, will do away with the "soft-handed radicals who make their living off the quarrels they foster be- tween labor and its employers. Abolishes Quarrels' Governor Allen said that every oth- er form of quarrel except the;strike had been done away with by the es-. tablishment of courts and asked: "Is there any reason for assuming that government may not find justice for the laboring man in his controversy. with his employer?". Right to Work Sacred Describing the operation of the Kansas law he said that under it any man or group, of men might quit work whenever they chose but after they had> done so, "they shall not come with their pockets full of dy- namite in order to prevent those from working who wish to continue on the job. The law holds that the right to work is just as sacred as the right to quit work." DETROIT ALUMNI WILL. AID STAIM PROJECT (Special to The Daily) Detroit, Dec. 2.-Prof. R. W. Aigler, chairman of the board in control of athletics, spoke today at the regular weekly luncheon of the Detroit Alum- ni association of the University of Michigan, reviewing the existing ath- letic situation and outlining plans for the future regarding the stadium at Ferry field. It was pointed out by the speaker that the situation was, on the whole, of the best, that for three successive years Michigan had finished as cham- pions of the Conference in baseball, had made a creditable showing in bas- ketball and had done fairly well in football. CONDEMNS "FLUBDUB" AND ASKS SIMPLICITY, FAIRNESS, AND TRUTH Six requisites for successful pub- lic speaking were outlined by- ex- Senator Albert J. Beveridge before a group of students yesterday morn- ing. Mr. 'Beveridge showed first how im- portant was the subject of public speaking, and that properly used, the real result was public teaching. Car- rying this thought still further, he utterly condemned "high 'falutin' flights of oratory," or "spreadeagle fiubdub," and insisted that such style or so called oratory was a thing of the past,which had been replaced by clear cut, simple, and comprehen- sive talks. .Names Rules Sphinx Takes 10 Into Mysteries- Once more the sacred caravan of the Nile wended its mystic way through the avenues of Ann Arbor, stopping ten times to collect ten mummies, which were born away to the pyramids in the east, there to be reborn and sit in the councils of the Egyptian gods. The juniors who made the journey and who shall henceforth be known as members of the ancient tribe of Sphinx were: Robert F. Wieneke Brewster P. Campbell, John I. Dakin, Nelson "Joyner, Frank W. Steketee, Joseph A. Bernstein, Maurice Atkin- son, Francis Smith, George Reindel, and Allan Sunderland.. Hugh-W. Hitchcock acted as toast- master, other speakers being Prof. Charles P. Wagner, James I. McClin- tock, '21L, Thomas McAllister, '21L,, and Joseph A. Bernstein.

The change in baseball coache was discussed and' the speaker ex pressed the sentiment that Michiga: was "lucky to get Derrill Pratt to ac as baseball mentor for the next sea son." He pointed out the fact tha the new coach had not only made recprd in baseball but also in footbal and basketball at the University c Alabama. Professor Aigler further explaine the seating conditions which are no' prevalent at Ferry field and discusse the three plans which could be fol lowed in building additional accom modations, that is, the construction a concrete stand on the north side the field, the erection of the "U" the west end, or a combination of ti two ryesulting 'in a finished stadium He also mentioned the proposed pla of selling seats for five years in ad vance as a theans' of financing th project. The rules which Mr. Beveridge mentioned were "to say nothing un- less you have something to say, and to attempt no 'public address unless you are equipped mentally to talk,' and can really instruct your hearers." "When you speak, be so plain that the dumbest person in the audience can comprehend what you are saying. Don't be a play actor, consider your audience as a composite individual, and taking into consideration the make up of this composite person, shape your talk accordingly. "Of the utmost. importance is the idea of fairness," said Mr. Beveridge. "Be so fair that your worst enemy, personally, politically, or religiously, cannot but admit that you played fair. Compliments Trueblood "And, lastly, for no consideration whatever, do not say anything that tyou do not actually;firmly, believe." Mr. Beveridge complimented the work of Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood, of the oratory department, who"intr.o- duced the former senator. (By J. E. 0.) ' A tentative budget reaching the. total of $11,492,250 recently submitted by President Lotus D. Coffman, of the University of Minnesota, to the Re- gents of that institution and the re- quest made by President Birge of the University of Wisconsin for $15,350,000 for the coming biennium of 1921-23 afford an' interesting comparison with the budget of $8,690,000 which Presi- dent Marion L. Burton and the Board of Regents placed before the Michigan state budget commission for the same period. Included in the Minnesota budget are the regular working fund for the next biennium, an emergency fund to carry the university through the per- iod for which appropriations have al- ready been made that are insufficient to meet all the expenses of the institu- tion for the period, and items for new builftipgs. At the same turne the Minnesota budget was under consideration, a. special committee of Regents was ap- pointed at the' suggestion of J. A. Burnquist, governor of Minnesota, to investigate the establishment of the dormitory system there. A total out- lay of $15,000,000 was mentioned as the probable cost ofcreating the dor- mitory system, according to President Coffman, who declared the system could be expected to raise scholarship standards and work a general im- provement in university life. Sugges- tion of the dormitory system was made In discussion of housing condi- tions at the university. Wisconsin's proposed budget of $15,- 350.000 is the largest sum ever asked by that institution. Of this amount, $284,000 is asied for a dormitory building fund for 1922 and $250,000 for the same purpose for 1923. To raise the entire sum the university proposes a new additional 2-8 mill tax1 and $4,557,370 from the general fund of the state. Engineering once again 'honored its most distinguished disciples of the third year, when yesterday it showed to 11 juniors its mysteries and de- vices as a reward for faithful service on the Michigan campus.- The " medium through which it worked was Triangles, junior honor, society. After the last particle of dirt' had been remoyed the men were taken away, where the secrets of the order were divulged to them. In order that fatigue might not weaken them, nourishment was serv- ed at the Union. The newest Triangles are: William E. Bandermer, Arthur Stauffer, E. P. Lovejoy, E. S. Bradley, A. E. Carson, G. F. Godley, M. A. Goetz, H. J. Lau- ver, Robert Vail, J. Madden, and G. W. McCordie. The men were welcomed by Emer- son Swart of the actives. Arthur Stauffer answered for the neophytes. Other speakers were Ridhard Mar- shall, '21E, and Prof. J. . Parker. George Gregory , acted as toastmas- ter.
