Many Resignations Follow Row
A mong Women Religious Workers

Wholesale resignations due to fric-
tion and divergent ideas in the con-
duct of the women's branch of the S.
C. A. have accompanied the incorpora-
tion of the University Y. W. C. A. or-
ganization with the Students' Chris-
tian association. Despite the with-
drawal of many executive meribers of
the association a bitter fight is still
being waged between the two factions
for control of the religious activities
of the women students.
Women Withdraw
The first news of friction, which it
is claimed existed for a number of'
years, came with the withdrawal of a
number pf the women members from
the board of trustees which formerly
governed the Y. W. C. A. and the Y.
M. C. A. and which was to guide the
destinies of the S. C. A under the new
plan No reasons were given at the
time, but it is understood that those
resigning were not in sympathy with
the new organization as it affected
the women's department and desired
to continue under the nationial Y. W.
C. A. form. They also claimed that the
new organization contemplated taking
control of the Y. W. C. A. from women
and giving it to the men who compose
the majority of the S. C. A. board of
trustees.
The next step was the resignation of
the following students from the wo-

men's department cabinet: Mary D.
Lane, '21, vice-president; Helen Koch,
'21, treasurer; Elsa Oiese, '23; Martha
Seeley, '21; and Thekle Roese, '22. It
is said that the above students object-
ed to the complete control of the Y.
W. C. A. by the secretary, claiming
that =the members of the cabinet and
the officers were mere puppets who
could use no initiative or executive
ability in the performance of their
duties.
Secretaries Withdraw
The resignation of Miss Eva Lem-
ert, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., which
had been in the hands of the board of
trustees for two months, was accept-
ed soon after the above resignations
were turned in. It is understood that
Miss Lemert favored the S. C. A. plan
but felt that the friction and antagon-
ism in the cabinet and on the women's
advisory board made her withdrawal
desirable.
Miss Hulda Bancroft who had been
associate secretary of the Y. W. C. A.
social service department for five years
then tendered her resignation when
she was asked to take a position at
Lane hall under the S. C. A. organ-
ization. She is now acting as secre-
tary of the University hospital nurses'
unit which has withdrawn from the
S. C. A.
(Continued on Page Eight)

"I could have sent them to jail, I
could have had them pulled out before
the student- body and punished. But
that isn't my job, I sent them home."
Thus THE DETROIT DAILY TIMES
of Monday quotes J. A. Bursley, dean
of students, in a story headed "Wine,
Women and Song Days End at U. of
M."
Interview Implied
The story, which is a garbled state-
ment of facts concerning existing con-
ditions on the campus and an implied
interview with Dean Bursley, goes on
to say that a number of students are
expected "to slide out of town" with-
in the next few days in order to es-
cape punishment, and that the dean
said he was going "sled-length" to
clean up the University.
Themethods used by the adminis-
tration to get information are also "di-
vulged." "Most of the information in
the hands of the dean has come from
round-about sources," says THE
TINGES. "Much of it is gossip. Some
of it comes from men who are hired
to report student doings to the facul-
ty. A great deal of it has been gathered
from young women."
Statements Arle False
Yesterday afternoon a representa-
tive of The Daily showed Mr. Bursley
a copy of THE TIMES. "The state-
ments imputed to me in that story are
false," he said. "I have no more au-
thority to send a man home than you1
have, nor have I the power to send
a student to jail. The basis of this
article is a consultation I had with
four members of a fraternity Sunday
morning. The men came to me of
their -own accord and asked advice
about a certain matter concerning
their chapter. I knew one of the men
was a newspaperman, but I had no
idea that the confidential conversation
would be carried outside of those con-
cerned."
Insult to Students
"In regard to the University employ-
ing men to spy on the students, I
think it is an insult to both the stu-
dents and the administration to charge
them with such underhanded meth-
ods. We are not after the scalp of
everyone around here, we merely want
the men to conduct themselves as self
respecting citizens of a law abiding
community. Those who violate the
laws of the state and the University
are comparatively few, but such write
ups as THE TIMES has given us would
lead an outsider to believe that this
is the most immoral place in the coun-

NEW ERA IN RELATION BETWEEN
STUDENTS AND OFFICIALS
PROMISED
BURSLEY APPOINTED
DEAN OF STUDENTS
Will Also Be Chairman of Senatej
.Committee on Student
Affairs
A new era in the relation between
students and the University' adminis-
tration is promised in the creation of
the position of dean of students by the
Board of Regents at its last meeting,
and the appointment of Joseph A.
Bursley, professor of mechanical en-
gineering, to assume that position at
once.
Connects Officials and Students
Dean Bursley will be the represen-
tative and spokesman of President
Marion L. Burton in all problems con-
nected with students and their activi-
ties. His position is intended to furn-
ish a connection between University
officials and students which it is im-
possible for the President or the deans
of the various departments to main-
tain with the constantly increasing
enrollment of the University.
Disciplinary measures will remain
in the hands of the various faculties,
according to Dean Bursley. It will be
his duty to investigate breaches of
discipline and to confer with the
deans of all the departments with a
view to securing uniformity of pun-,
ishment throughout the University for
the same offenses.
Will Be Advisor
"I hope that matters of discipline
will not be the principal part of my
duties," said Dean Bursley yesterday
in discussing his work. "I want to
keep the students from getting into
trouble, rather than to spend my time
getting them out of trouble. I want the
students to understand that they are
perfectly free to come to me at any
time for advice or assistance in any
difficulties with which they may be
confronted. In general, problems re-
lating to scholarship will still be in
the hands of the other deans."
He will also be chairman of the
University Senate committee on stu-
dent affairs and chairman of the board
in control of student publications.
Dean Bursley plans to give some work
in the department of mechanical en-
gineering, and he will retain his pro-
fessorial rank in that department.
Dean Bursley will move from his
