THEWEATHER UNSETTLED; IROBAB ~r ie ifr i an ttl ASSOCIATED PRESS DAY AND NIGHT 1IRE SERVICE VOL. XXXI. No. 89. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1921. PRICE FIVE CENT CALIFORNIA TRIP FOR TRACK MEN Y.~c 11C.A WILL INTERESTFOREIGN STUDENTS IN U.5. CHARLES D. HURREY, '00, TO CARRY ON WORK AMONG AIM IS BENEFIT TO INTERNATIONAL TRADE Conditions in Various Universities Over the World to Be Clostiy Studied To awaken the interest of foreign students in universities of the United States is the purpose of Charles D. Hurrey, '00, general Y. M. C. A. sec- retary of the committee on friendly relations among foreign students. Ar- riving in Ann Arbor Sunday, he has endeavored to meet the students from other countries enrolled in the Uni-I versity of Michigan. Michigan Declared Hospitable "From what I have been able to learn so far," he said, "Michigan has been very hospitable to the so-called foreign students and has endeavored to make them feel a vital part of the University. Much of the credit for this should be given to the Michigan Union, which is one of the greatest in- stitutions of its kind in the country. But much more can and should be done to get the foreign students to come here. That is exactly what I am trying to make not only Michigan but other universities see. If America would only realize it, these students are the future leaders of their na- tions; they think and write and speak; they influence public opinion. In the long run they can promote or hinder international trade according to the impressions they receive of American business men and methods." This, as Mr. Hurrey expressed it, is the "larger purpose" of the commit- tee. It is for the carrying out of this purpose that he is visiting the vari- ous universities in. this country. He is gaining the attitude of the foreign. students in order that he may carry their expressions back with him to their countries. He plans to sail for South' America Feb. 23, where he will remain until spring, observfing the activities in the various universities. From there he is going to Portugal, Spain, and Italy to observe student life in the institutions of those coun- tries. Mr. Hurrey will return to this country in June to tell American uni- versities what he has learned. American Ideas Adopted "I am much interested in making a comparative study of University ac-j tivities in both Latin America and Latin Europe," he stated. "They havet largely adopted the American idea of activities and I wish to see what progress they have made with their publications, campus societies, and fraternities. They have gained these ideas from their countrymen who have studied in our schools: Ideas in politics have also been carried to them and have had their influence. "This is the reason that American universities should put forth every ef- fort to give foreign students correct ideas in regard to civic life. In the: long run these students are going to be the biggest factors in increasing our trade with foreign lands." Literature Sent Abroad Many universities have been taking greater steps to bring students from other countries to the United States. Harvard has printed special bulletins in Spanish for circulation in Latin America. The University of Pennsyl- vania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also done this. Other schools have sent their circu-' lars to foreign lands. "This," said Mr.: Hurrey, "is a step in the right direc- tion. But much more must be done.: America must realize that her future in foreign trade relations depends on' how thoroughly she instructs foreign students in our ideals and traditions."' SING SING HEAD TO SPEAR Warden Kirchwey Will Address Mem- bers of Sociology Department Speaking on a subject which will deal with his work as warden of Sing Sing penitentiary and of his experi- ence in the field of research work in prison management, George W. Kirch- wey, of New York, will address mem- bers of the sociology department at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning in room 101 of the Economics building. Mr. Kirchwey, who speaks tonight in Detroit, was dean of the Columbia law school for more than 10 years, and served as warden Of the Ossining institution for one year as successor to Mott Osborne.. His talk here, while arranged for students of social sci- ence and criminology, is open to all who desire to attend. FORI6N RELIEF FUND INCREASED BY 8200 MICHIGAN B[EATS Professors Discuss Process For 5 Some interesting disclosures on the practicabilityof Dr. A. A. Mickelson's method of measuring stellar diameters were revealed during the discussion of his process which took place Mon- Iickelson 's r leasuring Stars FINAL REPORT BRINGS TOTAL , CONTRIBUTIONS CLOSE.' TO $8,000 OF Swelling the grand total to $7,180.85, final reports have been turned in on the Foreign Relief Fund drive which was conducted on the campus from Tuesday to Saturday of last week. Additional contributions coming in late Monday raised the total more than $200. "While we failed in obtaining Michi- gan's full quota in this drive," said Fred J. Petty, '21, chairman of the fund committee, yesterday, "the cam- pus should be commended on the ex- cellent manner in which it has re- sponded to the solicitors. The com- mittee realizes that Michigan's allot- ted amount was exceptionally high and is gratified at the outcome of the drive." Proceeds from the campaign are to be divided into three funds: The Chi- nese Famine fund, the European Chil- dren's fund and the European Stu- dents' fund. Complete apportionment of the money received has not been nade, but of the full amount,,$3,495.85 is to go to the Chinese Relief fund. Exams .Heralded Vly New Gargol Heralded by a cover in imitation of the bluebooks whose appearance will be so familiar to the campus within a few days, the February number of the Gargoyle made its appearance yes- terday, with its aim declared to be the dispelling of gloom caused by im- pending exams, a postponed J-Hop, and a student body immersed in a state of coma. That the campus is willing to forget its troubles is wit- nessed by the sale of the issue, the demand exceeding 2,500 copies. Among the features is a collection' of poems entitled, "The College Child's Garden of Verses," which en- deavors to present the well-known Mother Goose rhymes from the stand- point of the "collich man." A page of cartoons by W. W. Gower, '23, of- fers the Gargoyle's estimation of the other campus publications. STUDENTS MUST PAY RENT UP TO FEB. 21, SAYS COMMITTEE Unless students who are leaving their present quarters re-rent their rooms, they must pay rent 'up until Feb. 21, according to the decision of the committee on student conditions which met yesterday afternoon at the Union. At this meeting the grievances of more than 40 students and 10 land- ladies were heard. Engineering Lab Gets Studebaker Through the efforts of Guy P. Henry, '01E, chief engineer of the Studebaker company, a Studebaker automobile chassis, six-cylinder stock model, has been given to the automo- tive laboratory of the engineering col- lege. The chassis, which arrived yes- terday, will be used for experimental purposes. WONDERFUL DEFENSE HOLDS{ BOILERMAKERS TO FIVE FIELD GOALS WOLVERINE TEAM AGAIN UPSETS DOPE; Keeps Possession of Ball Practically All of Time; Purdue Drops to , Second Place. (Special to The Daily) Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 31. - Michigan tonight continued upsetting dope by defeating Purdue, until tonight unde- feated leader of Big Ten basketball, by a score of 28 to 23, in one of the, most bitterly contested court games ever witnessed in Memorial gymna- sium. Michigan's wonderful and in- spired defense kept the Boilermaker quintet to five field goalsethe re- mainder of their points being made on free throws by Captain White. The Wolverine five kept possession of the ball practically all the time, and although the score was close at all stages of the game, their clever passing baffled the efforts of the Boil-1 ermaker court men to jump into the lead. In their hard fight to defeat the Conference leaders, Karpus and Miller went out of the game on per- sonal fouls, and their places were tak- en by Whitlock and Weiss. Rea hoops Two Keeping up his spectacular shooting which began Saturday night at Chi- cago, Bud Rea, Wolverine guard, drop-4 ped in two long baskets. Duke Dunne made three field goals, and Miller,1 Williams, and Weiss were responsible for one basket each. Captain Karpus counted two from the field and hoop-1 ed eight free throws. Captain White was the Purdue star. Counting on 13 fouls made pos- sible by Michigan's hard playing,' White by his excellent shooting kept his team close to the Wolverines- at; all times. By virtue of its victory tonight; Michigan has a percentage of .500 with a record of four victories and four defeats. The playing of the Wolverines in the last few games in- dicates a powerful quintet, which got' off in early season to a bad start.

The committee aims to inaugurate the system in the man- ner outlined in the leaflet distribut- ed to members of the literary faculty a few weeks ago. Petitions Circulated It is the intention to give the sys- tem a trial in classes of less than 50 in which seniors predominate with the idea that it will be extended to the other classes in the future. Petitions are being printed which will be sent to members of the faculty together with information concerning the sys- tem as proposed. Each instructor will be requested to announce to such of his classes as fulfill the above con- ditions that he has a petition which any member of the class who is in-. terested may circulate. The instructor is in no way obli- gated to hold any examination under the honor system unless he so de- sires. If some students prefer a pro c- tored examination the instructor may give two examinations if he sees fit., No one will be compelled to take an examination under the honor system. Those who do take an honor examina- tion will be asked to state on their bluebooks that they have neither re- ceived nor given aid during the ex- amination." Committee Meets Tomorrow A sub-committee of the senior hon- or committee will meet with Dean Ef- finger's advisory committee Wednes- day afternoon to discuss final ar- rangements. Robert C. Angell was elected chairman of the senior com- mittee at its meeting yesterday. DEBS' FREEDOM AGAIN REFUSED cago, the astronomical side of the pro- position was given by Prof. W. J. Hussey, of the astronomy department. Professor Hussey showed how the approximation resulting from the mathematical computation made the probable error equal to the diameter of any body under consideration. This means that the actual diameter might be either twice that obtained or one-half as great. Only Applicable to Six Stars Prof. R. H. Curtis, of the astronomy department, then explained why Mick- elson's method could only be applied to six stars, giving for the reason the fact that the diameters of practically all stars would be less than the error in figuring them out. Nevertheless the method was upheld as a consider- able advance in science. FACULTY APPROVES1 Creation of Publications Committee Also Advocated by Univer- sity Senate REGENTS' ACTION NECESSARY BEFORE PLAN CAN BE USED The advisability of having a Uni- versity editor to have charge of the editing of the official publications of the University was determined by the University Senate at their meeting last night, when a series of resolu- tions favoring a publications commit- tee was passed. Action on the mat- ter rests with the Regents, who will meet Friday of this week. Resolutions Passed The resolutions which were passed were drawn up by a committee of which Dean E. H. Kraus acted as chairman. ' They provide for a senate commit- tee of nine to be known as the com- mittee on publications and to be ap- pointed by the President of the Uni- versity. This committee will have charge of the issuing of the official publications of the University, that is, University bulletins, announcements, and such other publications as may hereafter be assigned to the commit- tee. This committee will have in- structions to formulate rules and reg- ulations with respect to the prepara- tion of copy, which, as heretofore, is to be prepared by the officers con- cerned.' Student Publications Not Included The committee will further be given the authority to devise a more eco- c t r f c I f x c t L } 1 i c i 1 1 1 t i 1 j l i ! 15 Members of Squad to Be Chosen for Event; Coach and Manager Will Go, Too Michigan will. meet the University of California in a dual track and field meet at Berkeley, Calif., on Saturday, April 9, according to an official an- niouncement emanating- from the ot- flice of P. G. Bartelme, director of out- door athletics, yesterday afternoon. Acceptance Wired Thursday Negotiations were opened by the Far Western institution several days ago, when three Eastern universities were reported to have received of- fers for this meet. Michigan, Illi- nois, and Wisconsin were the teams desired by California and when after a meeting of the Board in Control of Athletics last Thursday night, accept- ance was wired from the local office,, the final arrangements were com- pleted. Coach Steve Farrell, Manager Fischer, and 15 members of the Var- sity squad, yet to be chosen, will leave Ann Arbor Saturday night, April 1, on the first lap of the long jour- ney. Because of the unusual length of time which the trip will consume it will be impossible to enter a Mich- igan team at three big meetings which were on the original schedule. Ruling Prevents Eastern Meets This is due to a ruling of the Uni- versity authorities which states that no athletic team representing the University shall spend more than six days away from recitations during a single season. The Penn Relays at Philadelphia, the Eastern Intercol- legiates at Cambridge, Mass., and the Drake Relays at Des Moines, Iowa, are ' the big events which will be dropped from the 1921 schedule in order to make the California trip. Choice Is Unanimous The entire proposition was placed before the "M" men of the track squad at a meeting several days ago and it was the almost unanimous opinion of the men that the Western trip should be made at the expense of the others. Fourteen events will be included in the program for the meet, consisting of the official events as prescribed by the Western Intercollegiate con- ference, including the javelin throw. The University of Illinois fell before the California track squad last year in one of the most closely contested meets of the outdoor season.
