READY To ENFORCE, PEACE, N O TE INFERS 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. NO IN iTATiON TO FRIDA'Y YET X. A. C. Offers Not Yet Extended to University of Michigan Authority CALLED "BEST EQUIPPED AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIST" "I have received no invitation to be- come president of M A.

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: Overture, "Russlan et Ludmilla" ......... . ...... . ... Glinka First Symphony, Opus 68 in C minor ............... .... Brahms The Cry of the Valkyries from. "The Valkyrie" ..........Wagner Aria: "OMio Fernando" from "La Favorita"..............

(Special to The Daily) 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.
