PRICE FIVE CENTS BUSY DAY MARKS CLOSE OF PRESS CLUB CONFRENCE LLOYD C. DOUGLAS SPEAKS BE. FORE BANQUET WHICH CON- CLUDES SESSION CARR'S PAPER CAUSE OF MUCH DISCUSSION Ottoway Elected President for the Year; Next Meeting to Be Held Here "Americans are exaggerationists. We are liars - we like to tell how much bigger our mountans are than they really are, how much deeper our ravines," said Rev. Lloyd Douglas at the banquet at the Union last night which concluded the three day conven- tion of the University Press club, the first gathering since its organization a year ago. "Splendid Program," Brumm "I think we have had a splendid program. I regret only that more newspaper men could not have prof- ited by it," was the comment on the convention of Prof. John L. Brumm, retiring president of the club. Offcers for the ensuing year were elected at the afternoon session as follows: President, James Ottoway, Port Huron Times-Herald; vice-pres- ident, Stewart H. Perry, Adrian Tel- egram; secretary, Prof. John L. Brumm, of the rhetoric department, University of Michigan; treasure, Harley Johnson, Ann Arbor Times- News. The constitution of the club was formally adopted at this ses- sion. Next year's meetings will again be held in Ann Arbor, at a date to be decided upon by the officers. It is said that the convention will proba- bly be held late in a week immedi- ately preceding one of the big foot- ball games next fall. Full Program _ Yesterday's program was the full- est of the .entire meeting, the prini- pal speakers being Lowell J. Carr, grad., formerly state editor for the Detroit Free Press, and Prof. E. R. Sunderland at the forenoon session;1 Dean A. H. Lloyd, Dean M. E. Cooley, A. W. Stace of the Grand Rapids Press, and Librarian W. W. Bishop at the afternoon session; and Rev. Lloyd Douglas, Dean A. H. Lloyd and A. E. McCrae of the Muskegon Chron- icle at the banquet last evening, at which Prof. F. N. Scott was toast- master. At the morning session Lowell J. Carr read a paper on "Who Shall Con--' trol the Press?" His claim, that at present the news sections of papers£ are but adjuncts to the business side;f that the business community, not the community as a whole, controls the press, and that legislation by the states is a possible partial solution, at least, of the newspaper problem of today, called forth vigozous protest. Denies Carr's Indictments Lee A. White, '10, of the Detroit News, denied many of Carr's indict- ments of the newspaper, cing in- stances to prove his points. While agreeing that the press as yet has not reached the millenium, when the e shall be evolved the perfect newspa- per, he insisted that the country's pa- pers have been advancing, and doing so steadily. Following the discussion caused by Carr's paper, Prof. E. R. Sunderland of the Law school brought to the at- tention of the editors present the need of a press campaign for the reform of court procedure. He stressed the great work the press accomplished during the war, and suggested that one of the ways in which it could con- tinue its service to the country would be by bringing to light the many3 shameful delays and useless prac- tices of the American court room. £ )eon Lloyd Speakst Dean A. H. Lloyd of the Graduate school, first speaker at the afternoonl session addressed the convention on "Newspaper Conscience." He took the position that to a certain extent a newspaper conscience is non-existent,! and asked, "Is a newspaper wholly trusty?" Pointing'out that generally1 newspapers were conservative, heI (Continued on Page Eight) FRENCH STUDENTS FTO WRITE ABROAD Opportunities will be given to those students who are studying French in the more advanced courses offered by the Literary college to correspond with French men and women. Blanks are being passed out by professors and instructors which, after they are filled out by students,'will be sent to a society in New York, organized to promote correspondence between the young people of France and Amer- ica.

AillYFISCAL AID DEPENDS ON KING, Supreme Council Withdraws Support If Constantine Is Returned to Greek Throne ALLIES STRONGLY WARN STATE TO CONFORM TO THEIR WISHES (By Associated Press) London, Dec. 3. - The Allied su- preme council today publicly an- nounced it would withdraw financial support from Greece should former King Constantine be returned to the throne in the plebescite of Sunday and would consider territorial repris- als should he be enthroned. The council also decided that the allied premiers should meet a fort- night hence to discuss conditions as they exist after the Greeks register their choice in the plebescite. Allies Await Decision The course to be pursued by the Allies in the Near East will have to await the Greek decision on the dy- nasty question, it was decided. The conferees also resolved to make a formal protest against issuance by the Greek government of 200,000,000 drachmas in currency. Briefly summarized, the position of the Allies is that they want to warn the Greeks vigorously that their gov- ernment must conform to a great ex- tent to the wishes of the Allies, and' that, if admonitions in yesterday's and today's statements, relative to the withdrawal of financial support are ineffective,,the Allies are prepared to take even sterner measures, which1 were discussed today. Treaty Unratified As the Sevres treaty has not been ratified, it is within the power of the Allies to modify it, and they are keep- ing this fact to the fore, at least in{ regard to Smyrna. It is known that some of those at the conference today1 expressed belief that Symrna would be safey from the Allies' standpoint in Turkish hands than in the hands of the Greeks under Constantine. NINE GAMESIMPROBABLE Aigler Says Press Reports Only In- formation He Has On Plan "Press reports are the only inform- ation that I have that Conference of- ficials contemplate a nine game sched- ule this year," stated Prof. Ralph1 Aigler, chairman of the Board in Con- trol of Athletics, yesterday, when ques- tioned regarding the probable outcome of the Conference athletic meet which' will be held in Chicago today. "In 1918 or the year following, a proposition was brought before the committee to extend the football schedule from seven to eight games, only to be voted down. This would indicate that possibilities of a nine game schedule this year are rather remote. However, it seems likely that a suggestion of an eight game schedule would be more favorable at the present time. "In all probability Michigan will play four Conference games," contin- ued Professor Aigler. "The only two games outside of these, which can be predicted are the Case and M. A. C. games, which have become fixtures' with us. This would make it impossi- ble to play more than five Conference games unless the schedule were ex- tended."- POOL DRIV E GETS 10 NEWCAPOiS One Man to Handle Campaign in Each Fraternity and House Club MEETING TO BE HELD FOR ALL TEAM MEMBERS MONDAY Ten additional team captains for the Union swimming pool drive were announced yesterday. These men will pick their assistants before Mon- day evening, at which time final in- structions will be given to the work- ers at an assembly at the Union. One man in each of the fraterni- ties and house clubs has been named to handle the campaign in his house. A 100 per cent response is expected from this source. Meeting Monday Union officials yesterday stressed the fact that the solicitors' pledges which will be signed during the drive on Dec. 8 and 9 will not obligate the signer to obtain the full amount prom- ised. They desire the students to be conservative in their estimates of the sums they can raise as they prefer to have the subscriptions exceed rather than to fall short of the total amount pledged. Full information on the conduct of ; the campaign will be given out at theE meeting Monday evening by . C. Drulard, coach of the swimming team, and officials of the drive. All to Attend This meeting will be attended by all1 captains and team members. It willt provide them with the data necessary for their work on Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 8 and 9, at which time they will canvass the men of the Uni- versity to get them to solicit for swimming pool funds during the hol- idays. Every man on the campus- is1 expected to assist in raising tb, money, and these teams have the taskt of getting the men to indicate their< intention of making the solicitations.

Enthusiam, Smoke Clouds, And Speeches To Hold Sway Tonight (By R. A.) Clouds of congenial smoke will en- velop loyal Michigan alumni and loy- al Michigan football men alike this evening at the Detroit Board of Com- merce. The celebration is termed the "Comeback Smoker," and promises to be a riot of enthusiasm. Not only will free smokes be pro- vided for the members of the Var- sity, reserve, and freshman football squads, but they will be stuffed withl refreshments, serenaded with music by the Varsity band and the 37th U.: S. Infantry band, and edified by talks from Prof. Lewis M. Gram, Judge Ira W. Jayne, Robert H. Clancy, field sec- retary of the Athletic association, and Assistant Coach Prentiss Douglass. The hosts of the occasion are the members of the University of Michi- gan club of.Detroit. James K. Wat- kins, president of the "M" club, is in general charge of the smoker.

The other two questions that were under consideration dealt with the establishment of an inter- national court of justice, irrespective of the League of Nations, and with the acceptance by the public of the open shop principle. The preliminary debates for the se- lection of the Michigan teams will be completed before the Christmas vaca- tion starts and a squad of 24 debat- ers will be chosen. Members of Al- nha Nu, Adelphi, and Athena societies will compete for positions on the teams, and an open competition will be held for students, other than those nossessing degrees, who are not iden- tified with these organizations. When school resumes after the vacation, fin- al selection will be made of the two teams, three debaters being the requi- site number per team. LEA90E'CABART SHOWS METROPOLITAN FINISH HONOR SYSTEM FOR IT COLLEGE MEETS FAVOR CLASSES WILL TAKE MATTER UP IN COMING MEETINGS BY STRAW VOTE Adoption of the honor system in the literary college is strongly favored by the presidents of the senior, ju- nior, and sophomore classes. As yet action has been taken toward the for- warding of this honor system in only the senior class, but both of the oth- er* two classes, according to their presidents, will probably take a straw vote on the question at the next meet- ings. "I am anxious to see this system adopted in the literary college," stat- ed Fred J. Petty, '21, senior lit pres- ident, when ,asked his opinion. "A committee of seniors is now arrang- ing a plan for the introduction of the honor system; when it is complet- ed, if adopted by the senior class in January, it will be presented to the faculty for their approval. If this system is accepted the seniors will be responsible for the. conduct of: stu- dents taking examinations." 0. W. Rush, president of the junior lit class, said: "I believe the step-:the seniors are taking ought to be fol- lowed up by the other classes and I intend to bring. it up at the next meet- ing." President Vernor Hillery, sopho- more lit president, stated: "in my opinion there is a real need for the honor system in the literary college. The sophomore class will take a straw vote on the question at our meeting next Tuesday, if such is ap- proved." CLUB TO ADVOCATE EASTERN CONTESTS The renewal of Michigan's partici- pation in Eastern athletic events is being strongly advocated by members of the New England club. The club has started an extensive campaign to this end by requesting Michigan alum- ni in the East to personally express their views on the subject by let- ter before the meeting of the Board in Control of Athletics Dec. 15. According to the statement of mem- bers of the club, Eastern alumni feel that relations between themselves and their Alma Mater are growing more and more remote, because Michigan teams are no longer seen on Eastern fields. The club will concentrate its efforts to have Michigan represented in the intercollegiate track meet in the Harvard stadium next spring. JUDGE FISHER TO SPEAK BEFORE MENORAH SOCIETY The Hon. Judge Harry M. Fisher of Chicago will speak on the subject, "The Jew in Soviet Russia and East- ern Europe" before the Menorah so- ciety at 8:15 o'clock Sunday evening, REGENTS ISCUSS OLD QUESTION OF POLMITI CCLTALS PROVIDE FOR USE OF HILL AU. DITORIUM BY PROMINENT SPEAKERS STILL BAN PARTISAN POLITICAL SPEECHES Make Arangements for Uniform for R. 0. T. C.; Accept New Gift for Library With a qualifying provision that speeches of a partisan political na- ture shall not be permitted in Hill au- ditorium or any other University building, the Board of Regents in their meeting yesterday sanctioned a peti- tion from the Student council asking that use of Hill auditorium be grant- ed to student organizations for lec- tures or addresses by prominent men brought to Ann Arbor by the organ- izations. Supported by faculty and student sentiment, the council placed the peti- tion before the Regents last March with the suggestion that a faculty committee be appointed to pass on the advisability of allowing speakers the use of the building in each indiv- idual case. Petition Tabled At that time the petition was tabled because the Regents feared difficulty would be encountered in deciding who should be permitted the use of the auditorium and who shotild be refus- ed. As passed by the Regents yester- day, the petition provides that "use of Hill auditorium may be granted to student organizations for lectures or addresses by prominent men on top- ics of the day, under guarantee that during such addresses there shall be no violation of the recognized rules of hospitality, nor advocacy of the subversion of government, or of the state, and that such meetings shall be in spirit and expression worthy of this University." The Regents further declared that the University buildings shall under no circumstances be used for partisan political speeches or pur- poses. Provides for Committee It is provided that petitions for the use of Hill auditorium for such speeches shall be made to a commit- tee consisting of the President of the University, members of the Regents'. committee on student affairs, and the president of the Student council. This committee will pass upon the advis- ability of permitting the speech in each case. Authorize Uniform A distinctive uniform for students who are members of the R. o. T. C. was authorized upon suggestion of Major Robert Arthur, professor of military science and tactics. The uni- form will consist of a straight front sack coat of dark blue, trousers of the same color without stripes or other distinctive markings, and a blue cap similar in cut to the overseas cap worn by army men. The only insignia of the uniform is to be blue silk R. 0. T. C. on the left sleeve of the coat. Students will be required to wear the uniform only while undergoing training. Duffield Gives Books The Regents accepted a gift of 6,000 volumes for the University Library from the collections of George Duf- field, Sr., Regent from 1839 to 1848 and George Duffield, Jr., Regent from 1877 to 1886. The gift from Judge C. B. Grant, of Detroit, of an auto- graphed poem by Dr. H. B. Tappan, former President of the University, was acknowledged. The resignation of Dr. G. Irving Naylor, recorder of the Homeopathic Medical school, was reported and ac- cepted. Miss M.

DANCES, FLUFFY DRESSES, TURE HATS, AND JAZZ FEATURE PROGRAM (By S. MV.) More than 300 girls sought PIC-I reliefI from mid-semester worries at the Women's league cabaret yesterday afternoon at Barbour gymnasium. The show, put on between dances accord- ing to time honored cabaret custom, was marked by vividness, and a gen- uine New York finish. First Hortense Hoad, '24, array- ed in a frilly pink ballet costume, skipped out upon the dance floor, and executed a clever little dance to the music of "Japanese Sandman." Then after the guests, who were seated around tables at the sides of the gym- nasium, had danced, the "Delta Gam- ma Kitchen orchestra" rendered a program made up both of light opera and jazz. The musicians were clad in bungalow aprons and had some kitchen soot upon their faces, toj show that they had come straight from regions of the stove ani frying pan. This proof was hardly neces- sary as their instruments were dish- pans, egg-beaters, and other kitchen implements. The act from the "Follies," made up entirely of Delta Gamma fresh- men, was the last and crowning num- ber of the program. There was a real chorus, attired in fluffy, abbreviated immediately after the services of the dresses, and large picture hats. The Student congregation. leading lady, Catherine Riggs, '24, Judge Fisher recently returned wore a stunning black frock, and sang and flirted with the leading man, Constance Smith, '24, in a truly frightful manner. After the vaudeville was over there was dancing for an hour. The re- freshments were served between danc- es by waitresses wearing dainty white caps and aprons. from a tour of observation and serv- ice in the war-stricken country of which he will speak. He has made a study of conditions in Eastern Eu- rope and is in a position to give a comprehensive discussion of the sit- uation confronting the Jews in the Old World. The meeting is open to the public.
