The faculty is of the opinon that if the honor system ever is to prove suc- cessful it will do so now under the favorable auspices under which it has come. The faculty meeting yesterday was called by special order to consider the tentative plan for the honor sys- tem in the literary college as propos- ed by a committee of seniors and en- dorsed with practical unanimity by the senior class. The faculty, by unanimous vote, adopted the plan, and has empowered its advisory commit- tee to work out the details in collab- oration with a committee of seniors. Seniors to Select Committee Under the plan adopted a selec- tion of a senior honor committee will be made with the approval of the se- nior class. All violations of honor in examinations are to be reported to this committee, whose decisions in various cases will be subject to the approval of the faculty. The honor system will be introduc- ed in classes not exceeding 50 where there is a majority of seniors and graduate students. A petition is to be started by a senior in each such class and circulated for the purpose of as- certaining how many students are willing to take an examination under the honor system. The signers of the petition pledge themselves to see that honor is observed by others as well as observing it themselves. This peti- tion will be handed to the instructor at least a week previous to the exam- ination. He has the right to accept or to reject it. In case there are some students who would prefer a proctored examination, the instructor, if he ac- cepts the petition, will give the same examination to such students in a dif- ferent room if pospible. Success Determines Extension If the future procedure of the sys- tem proves a success, it will be ex- tended under the senior plan, to the junior, sophomore, and freshmen classes successively, as far as exist- ing intermingling of classes will per- mit. The faculty's purpose of beginning the system in small classes is to in- sure the success of the system at the start, since there is naturally a uni- ty in smaller classes and among se- niors. Although the method is, per- haps, in small classes less necessary than in large ones, yet it was decided essential to promulgate the idea and to create a spirit in its favor by start- ing with smaller units. Faculty Appreciates Spirit The advisory committee of seven, with Dean John R. Effinger of the literary college, will meet at an ear- ly date in all probability with the committee of seniors and work out the . details of the plan. The faculty expressed its appreciation of the spir- it of the senior class and stated that it was glad to meet it halfway. Prof. Thieme lectures in Vicksburg Prof. Hugo P. Thieme, of the French department, is in Vicksburg today. He will deliver a lecture in that town on "Millet, the Artist," and will re- turn tomorrow. exclusive use of Army and Navy of- fieials, and are being released for the first time.

DEPATMENTS AT ODDS CONCERNING OCLLAGHN JANE MANNERS SECURED FOR VACANCY OF LELAND POWERS "Our Foreign Relations - Yester- day and Tomorrow" is the subject of James Hamilton Lewis, who will de- liver the sixth of the series of lec- tures, given under the auspices of the Oratorical association, at 8 o'clock Friday, Jan. 14, in Hill auditorium. Has Long Record Mr. Lewis is said to be an authority on the subject of foreign affairs, hav- ing served on important foreign rela- tions commissions in both the house and the senate. While a member of the Fifty-fifth congress, Lewis intro- duced the resolution recognizing the independence of Cuba. Later he serv- ed on the staff of Gen. F. D. Grant in the Spanish-American war. He was then appointed to the commission on Canadian and Alaskan boundaries, as well as serving on the commission regulating the custom laws between Canada and the Northwest. Lewis was elected to the senate from the state of Illinois, where he represented the United States at Lon- don in the drawing up of a maritime treaty. During his political career he} was twice proposed for vice-presi- dent. Declared Forceful Speaker As a speaker critics declare the ex-senator to be forceful, being noted for his humor and mastery of ora-! torical style. Demonstrating his knowledge of elections and interna- tional affairs, Mr. Lewis has written the following books, "Statutes and Their Construction," "Two Great Re- publics, Rome and the United States," and a history of international law. The oratorical board wishes to an- nounce the filling of the date of Feb. 24 left open by Leland -Powers with Jane Manners. Sarg 's Puppets Here Tomorrow "Rip Van Winkle," Washington Irv- ing's old American folk legend so typic- al of our early Dutch settlers, will be played at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow aft- ernoon in Sarah Caswell Angell hall by Tony Sarg's puppets. In the evening at 8 o'clock "Olla1 Podrida," a bill of variety acts and playlets, will be given. This perform- ance features a clown, a Miss Lucy who sings, Indian snake charmers, an oriental dancer, and a blue ribbon' puppet puppy. "The merriment of the audience over peppet's movements almost drowned the voices of the actors who talked for the dolls behind the scenes," is what the New York Evening Mail said of the marionettes' performance. PASSPORT NOT BE RESTRICTIONS WILL WAIVED TO PERMIT ENTRANCE (By Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 10.-Passport re- strictions will not be waived by the state department to permit entrance to the United States of Daniel J. O'Cai- laghan, lord mayor of Cork, who on, his arrival last week at Newport News, as a stowaway and without a passport, was temporarily admitted on parole by order of the labor depart- ment. The state department's decision an- nounced today by acting Secretary Davis brought forth the assertion by labor department officials that juris- diction in the case rested exclusively with the secretary of labor. This indicated a continuation of the controversy betwen the two depart- ments which has been more or less ap- parent ever since the landing of the Cork lord mayor on American soil. String Quartet Impresses Large Crowd Nonday The Flonzaley string quartet, per- haps the greatest organization of its kind in existence, gave a concert last night in Hill auditorium before an appreciative audience. The numbers played brought out the thoroughness characteristic of this group of men. Beethoven's "Quartet in F major, opus 59, No. 1," was the first number played. All four movements of this work were done with a distinctness in the individual voices. The adagio mol- to mesto with its slow picturesque cadence and the allegro movement which fillowed it brought forth con- tinue,. applause from the audience. The second division of the program, "Quartet in A major, opius 41, No. 3," by Schumann, although rather long, held the interest to the end with the varying shades of color in the har- monies of the work., In conclusion and in contrast to the heavier music of Schumann came Goosen's "By the Tarn," and Graing- er's "Molly on the Shore." The first' was played in such a way as to em- phasize its close harmony. The Grainger composition roused the list- ener to enthusiasm, to the enthusiasm of this red blooded Australian com- poser. Faculty Votes to Regulate Clocks The faculty voted to regulate the tower clock and other regulated clocks of the University, as a lac.k of confi- POOR SHOWING OF MAIZE AND BLUE FORWARDS LOSES CONTEST MARXSON AND DEAN OF HOOSIERS,STAR PLAYERS Varsity Loses Teamplay in Second Half and Visitors Score Heavily Brilliant basket shooting by Marx- son, of Indiana, and poor showing of the Michigan forwards in that depart- ment of the game, cost the Maize and Blue its second Conference contest, the Hoosies winning 30 to 21, in Wat- erman gymnasium, Monday night. The play for the first seven minutes was remarkably even, Michigan oppos- ing the fast five man defense of the visitors by covering each player in- dividually. Indiana secured an eighth pohit lead before Whitlock scored the first Michigan point from the foul line. Whitlock also made the first Michigan field basket, on a long corner shot at the end of the first 15 minutes of play. Game Played Fast The entire game was decidedly fast, and the passing of both teams cor- respondingly inaccurate. In the last five minutes of the first period, and for the same length of time in the sec- ond half, Michigan was superior in every way to the Hoosiers, securing more than half of the total 21 points. At the opening of the second half the Wolverine defense was much strong- er, and for a time the basket shooting was good, especially on the part of Miller, who slipped in two long shots. Michigan then seemed to lose heart, and the team dropped apart, with only the Michigan guards holding down the opposing total. Close Guarding Helps Varsity Marxson and Dean stood out by their brilliant playing, the former sinking several sensational shots. Rea and Williams covered the Indiana forwards well, the former playing a good game both offensively and defensively. He missed many long shots by the nar- rowest of margins. Michigan seemed to be unable to play as a team, and the lask of passing, coupled with in- ability to score, gave the game to the visiting quintet. Michigan . Pos.

Accompanied by her brother, Oscar Lake, '24E, and Alis Hendrickson, a freshman nurse, Miss Lake went for her first ride Sunday morning. They were on the road in the vicinity of the Barton Hills Country club when the accident occurred. She seemed to be riding well, according to her broth- er, until the horse became disturbed and broke into a gallop. She threw her arms about the animal's neck in an attempt to steady herself but was pitched to the ground. A basal frac- ture of the skull sustained from the fall, caused her death 45 minutes lat- er. The body was taken to her home in Benton Harbor last night. Vivian Thorpe, representing the training school, and Marjorie Otto of the sen- ior class, accompanied Oscar Lake to Benton Harbor with the remains. Thee funeral services will be held this aft- ernoon. REGENTS APPOINT TO SCHOLARSHIPS Appointment of Winifred Smeaton '24, Lucilla Walker, '24, and Mary J. Loughin, '24, to the Phillip classical scholarships for the year 1920-1921 was made at the meeting of the Board of Regents Friday afternoon. The three students were recommended by the committee in charge of the exam- inations for the scholarships, consist- ing of President Marion L. Burton, Dean John R. Effinger, Prof. H. A. Sanders, of the Latin department, and Prof. Campbell Bonner, of the Greek department. The scholarships which were pro- vided in the will of the late Henry Phillips, of Philadelphia, are given each year to the candidates for the degree of bachelor of arts who excell in the Greek and Latin studies requir- ed for admission to the University.l EMPLOYEES CHARGE RAIL CONSICY Debtle Railroads Are Defrauding People of Millions Through Cost-Plus System JEWELL SAYS UNDER CUMMINS ACT HIGHER COSTS UNLAWFUL Chicago, Jan. 10. - Charges that American railroads are in a conspir- acy to create non-employment and are defrauding the American people of millions through operation of a cost-plus system of contracts with equipment and repair companies were made today by representatievs of em- ployes of the roads appearing before the railroad labor board. The railroad operators presented counter testi- mony. Morgan Interests Own 80 Per Cent The employes' charges which de- clared that 80 per cent of the railroads in the country were controled by the Morgan steel interests asserted that maintenance cost had been inflated at the expense of the public. This was don'e, according to the statement of B. M. Jewell, head of the railway em- ployes department of the American Federation of Labor, by letting con- tracts to equipment companies, "con- trolled by the same banks that con-I trol the railroads." Constitute a Fraud "Under the guarantee of the Esch- Cummins act, the alleged inflated costs constitute a fraud against the United States government and operat- ed to throw out of employment more than 50,000 steel railway employes," Mr. Jewell said. Declaring that the charges had no relevancy to the hearing on rules and working conditions under considera- tion by the board, E. T. Whiter, chair- man of the managers' committee of the railroads, asserted that they were made "to divert public attention from the matters in controversy." Present Agreement Unfit Examples designed to show inequal- ities in the present rules were recited in detail by Mr. Whiter. He declared that the present national agreement could not, in the interest of honest, efficient, and economical manage- ment, be continued longer and said universal application of their provi- sions was impracticable, because the only parties fully qualified to consid- er such regulations were the individ- ual managements and the employes themselves. Alumni Plan to Raise Sum $43,000 to Aid Asso. ciation of DRIVE PLANS FOR SECUR. GIVEN TO e150 CANVASSERS Completing preparations for the Students Christian association drive for $5,000, which begins today, 150 men from 20 canvassing teams, met at Lane hall last night, where they were instilled with pep by Fred Law- ton, '11, and given complete informa- tion and instructions concerning the details of the campaign. Lists of the students each man is to see were giv- en out and the number of days for canvassing were announced. The campaign will be continued for four days, ending Friday night. As plans are now, the first three days will be devoted to reaching every man on the ,campus by the solicitor to whom his name has been assigned and the last day to geenral solicitation by the members of the teamsto reach any who have been omitted, or have changed their minds regarding a con- tribution. $5,000 Is Yearly Budget Emphasis was laid at the meeting on the fact that the alumni were rais- ing $43,000 for the lifting of the debt on the S. C. A., while the student body has only been asked for $5,000, the budget for current expenses for this year. It was also pointed out that the success of the alumni drive would materially depend on the success of the campaign here, and that if the student body can put the drive here over with a good showing, the whole of the amount promised by the alumni organizations would be raised with ease. The organizations of Detroit, Chicago, New York and other large centers are already beginning the campaigns in their cities for their part of the S. C. A. debt. Names of the captains of teams were announced as follows: Norman Buchan, '22, E. E. Weiman, '21, G. L. Wessinger, '21E, L. J. Hershdorfer, '23, B. C. Fairman, '21, R. E. Adams, '23, J. A.

A. were enlarged upon and explained by C. Stewart Baxter, '21, president of the S. C. A., so the men would have a more inti- mate knowledge of the organization, and its departments. They were ex- plained in the order of their appear- ance in-the booklet sent to every Uni- versity man yesterday, explaining the drive and the needs of. the S. C. A. Donald Porter, '21, chairman of the drive, opened the meeting with ex- planations of the details of the cam- paign. Maintenance of Lane hall headed the list for expenditures in the bud- get, being set at $2,500. The hospi- tality and social service of the work- ers there was dwelt upon and the op- portunities for student recreation mentioned.
