Urges Peaceful Solution of Dispute
Over Disputed Territory
of Coto
(By Associated Press)
Washington, March 5.-Cessation of
hostilities between Costa Rica and
Panama is demanded in identical
notes which it was learned tonight at
the state department had been dis-
patched to the governments of those
two countries by Charles Evans
Hughes, the new secretary of state.
This action was the first of the
Harding administration in the realm
of foreign affairs and was said to have
been based 'on the broad grounds of
expediency. The, dispute between the
Central American republics involved
American interests in the Panama
canal zone..
A peaceful solution of the dispute
over the territory of Coto on the bas-
is of the White award is said to have
been urged. The note did not sug-
gest mediation by the United States,.
but was understood to have conveyed
the impression that this country stood
ready to enforce, if necessary, a
Swimmers' Petition For Recognition
To Come Before Campus Mlonday
Are the students of the University
willing to back their swimming team'
with their names? That is the ques-
tion which will be answered tomorrow
when the petition of the tank men for
recognition will be circulated on the
campus. Tables will be placed in ad-
vantageous positions along the diag-
onal and at other busy localities and
the students, as they pass, will be ask-
ed to give a few seconds of their time
to append their names to the petition.
In order that time may not be wasted
in reading what appears on the sheets
the request of the swimmers is repro-{
duced below:
The Petition
"We, the undersigned students of
the University of Michigan, do hereby
petition the Board in Control of Ath-
letics for the immediate recognition of
swimming, that our team may repre-
sent the University at the Conference
meet on March 17 and 18.
"We believe that the record made by
the organization this year is such that
it thoroughly deserves such recogni-
tion, and that the showing which it
will make against the eight other Con-
ference teams entered in the meet will
bring great credit upon themselves
and upon the University.
"We believe, further, that the recog-
nition of the sport will furnish the ne-
cessary incentive for the completion
of the Union swimming pool, both as
regards the student body and the
alumni.
"We do, therefore, respectfully re-
quest that swimming be given the stat-
us of a Varsity sport, the rules for the
awarding of the size "M" decided upon
by the board to be similar to those ap.
plying to track, and that the $eam be
sent to the Conference meet."
On Campus All Day
From 8 o'clock in the morning until
2 o'clock in the afternoon. the cam-
paign will continue upon the campus.
In the afternoon and evening attempts
will be made to round up any signa-
tures yet unattached by visits to var-
ious fraternities, clubs, and boarding
houses. It is hoped by those in
charge that the most difficult task of
the drive will be the counting of the
signatures. Opinion expressed by
numbers of unprejudiced students is
that if the men and women of the Un-
iversity will bear in mind that in
signing they will be doing a sgvice to
their school there should be no dif-
ficulty in obtaining every signature.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
UP FOR VOTE TODAY
PLAN SUBMITTED BY COMMITTEE
OF UPPERCLASS
MEN
A plan for student self-government
which has been drawn up by the
committee appointed at a meeting of
upperclass men some time ago will be
submitted to the joint meeting of se-
niors and juniors called for 3:30
o'clock this afternoon in the Assem-
bly hall of the Union for discussion
and ratification.
The plan has been drawn up by the
committee after a long series of
meetings during which every phase of
the matter has been gone over and
discussed from all standpoints, An
attempt has been made to incorporate
in this plan the views of the students
as expressed at the first meeting when
a strong desire was evidenced for a
form of organization through which
the students could have some voice
in matters pertaining to their con-
duct. If the plan as outlined by the
committee meets with favor at the
meeting today it will be submitted to
the student body for final adoption.
A new set of rules to govern stu-a
dent dances has also been drawn up
by the committee and will be submit-
fed for ratification by the upperclass
men. Ideas expressed by the stu-
dents at the first meeting have also
been incorporated in these rules in so
far as the committee considered ad-
visable. Reports will also be given by
the committees on traditions and on
convocations.
The meeting has been called by Le
Grand A. Gaines Jr., president of the
Student council, who is desirous of
having a full attendance at the gath-
ering so that as wide an expression
of opinion may be obtained as possi-
ble before the plan of government goes
to the campus at large for ratification.
ber of the board regard him as the
proper man for the position it is un-
derstood that he can have the office
if he wants it.
Professor Friday is working on the
state budget and helping Governor
Groesbeck with the state's financial
affairs. In this connection with the
M. A. C. budget he has surprised
many persons with his knowledge of
agricultural teachings. Since Pro-
fessor Friday began to make his
knowledge of the school and its work-
ings known he has been looked upon
as especially fitted for the presidency
by Governor Groesbeck and L. Whit-
ney Watkins, a member of the school
board.
James McBride, one of the Ameri-
can Bureau's national committee on
economics, is one of the canvassers for
Professor Friday. "He is the best
equipped agricultural economist in the
country," said Mr. McBride.
Professor Friday was born and
reared on a Michigan farm and is still
interested, with two of his brothers,
in farms in the fruit belt. He taught
country school and did not enter col-
lege until he was 29 years of age.
His salary in the economics depart-
ment here is $4,500. The president of
M. A. C. receives a salary of $7,500 a
year.
LIBRARY SHOWING
COSTLY BINDINGS
Valuable book bindings from the li-
brary of Albert May Todd of Kalama-
zoo are now being exhibited in the
main corridor of the Library. The
books, which just recently arrived in
this country, were purchased in Eng-
land last summer by Mr. Todd and
shipped direct to Ann Arbor for the
exhibit.
The earliest binding in the collec-
tion is the work of St. Augustine dat-
ing from 1550. French, Spanish,
Dutch, and English bindings of the
18th century compose a large part of
the exhibit. Modern bindings consist
of works by Zaehnsdorf, Riviere and
Son, and Bedford. Riviere and Son
are probably the best English binders
of today, while Bedford's works arel
THIRD APPEARANCE HERE
OF POPULAR ORCHESTRA
Cyrena Van Gorden, contralto solo-
ist, and the Detroit Symphony orches-
tra will give the last rogram in the
Choral Union concert series tomor-
row in Hill auditorium.
The popularity of the Detroit or-
ganization has already been shown by
the large audiences in attendance on-
its two previous appearances in Ann
Arbor this season. An added interest
is offered in the person of Miss Van
Gorden, distinguished contralto of the
Chicago Opera association. She has
a voice of depth, richness, and varie-
ty of color such as have characterized
the contraltos of the past. She is
said to eclipse most of them in beauty
and regal bearing.
She made her debut with the Chi-
cago Opera association in the role of
Ameris in Aida, which she will sing
in this year's May Festival. Critics
the country over are united in their
praise of her work.
The program is as follows:

Columbus, O., March 5.-Michigan
tied with Wisconsin and Illinois for
second in the Big Ten basket-
ball standing last night when it sank
Ohio State 36 to 22 at the Coliseum.
Scoring from almost any angle of the
floor the Wolverines gained an early
lead which was not endangered
throughout.
The Ann Arbor men were more su-
perior in floor work than the result
would indicate, this being due to the
number of fouls registered by the'
Buckeyes. In all Greenspun tossed
in 8 of 10 free throws compared with
a 2 out of 3 record for Captain Kar-
pus of the visitors.
For the Buckeyes, Stinchcomb and
Blair stood out far above the other
players.
Miller was the big scorer of the
evening with six field baskets to his
credit. Karpus garnered 8 points,
making 3 baskets and 2 fouls. Blair
scored 4 field goals for the losers,
while Greenspun scored 8 fouls,
REP. WAN TO SPEAK ON
AMERICANISM TONIGHT
Representative Julius Kahn of Cali-
fornia, who speaks on "The True
American" at the Union services at 7
o'clock tonight at Hill auditorium, is
one of the foremost statesmen of the.
day, and an authority on military mat-
ters, according to T. S. Evans, gen-
eral secretary of the S. C. A. Mr.
Kahn was the first chairman of the
National Defense league, secured the
passage of the selective draft law, and
was chairman of the house committee
on military affairs. He was favora-
bly mentioned for the post of secre-
tary of war.
Mr. Kahn was born in 1861 in the
town of Kuppenheim, the Grand+
Duchy of Baden. When he was five
years old the family moved to Califor-
nia, where he was educated in the
public schools, until the age of 16,1
when he went to work in a commission
house, which he later left for the
stage. While on the stage he appear-
ed with Joseph Jefferson, Ed-Win
Booth, Salvini, and Mr. and Mrs. T.;
J. Florence.1
In 1890 he began the study of law,
and in 1894 was admitted to the bar.
During these years he served a term
in the California Assembly, but de-
clined nomination to the state senate.
He was first elected to congress in
1899, and has served continuously
since except for the years 1903-1905.
Mr. Kahn's chief work has been in
the interest of national defense. It
was Mr. Kahn, who, in 1913, with the
assistance of other patriots, founded
the National Defense league, and be-
came its first chairman. Through the
efforts of the league the country was
first roused to the defenselessness df
the nation and the weakness of the
army and navy. He is a strong ad-
vocate of universal military training.
