Every LIO I. When the edict was issued yester- day by Dean Myra B.. Jordan that women students would not be permit- ted to continue soliciting subscrip- tions for the Michiganensian on the campus because of an official rule, students, solicitors and the 'Ensian staff wondered and asked themselves the whys and wherefore of the- matter. Dean Jordan declared that when the campaign for the Womens' League was begun, a rule was made effective that restricted women solicitors from cam- paigning any place but in three 'cam- pus buildings,, the University library, Barbour gymnasium and University hall. Had she been consulted, she stated, she would not have granted permission to the women to carry on the campaign. No Knowledge of Rule The editors of the 'Ensian, who had been contemplating a successful sub- scription drive to wind up their sales campaign, said that they had no knowledge of such a rule when they secured the services of 16 sororities to take charge of the campus soliciting. James G. Frey, '22, managing editor of the year book, said, "It is the inten- tion of the editors to abide by the rules of the University, but still I can see little difference in having women canvass on the campus as well as in the buildings. Last week the Univer- sity of Minnesota year book's business staff put on a sales campaign conduct- ed by women, and they sold more than 4,000 copies. Why can't we do it here?'' Will Obey Edict Robert F. Wieneke, '22, business manager of the 'Ensian, gave it as his opinon that the staff would obey the ruling, but that it would result in much confusion and 'fuse a hurried change in -the campain plans. "The women were getting well started on a good cause when they were suddenly halted by the interven- tion of the faculty. I cannot see any reason why, if a girl can talk to a man In University hall or in the Library, she cannot talk to him on the cam- pus." Edna Groff, '22, president of the Women's league, declared that she knew that the rule had been in ef- fect, but declined to comment on the present situation until she had con- sulted with Dean Jordan. * U.'S SUEFU SES TO PARTICIPATE i GE[NOA 'MEETING DECLINE SUPREME COUNCIL'S IN- VITATION TO ECONOMIC r . j CONFERENCE FAIL TO AGREE ON ESSENTIALS, CAUSE Object to Sitting-In of Soviet With Other Nations of World Russia1 Evans Appears As Organist At Recital Today Iarry Russell Evans 'will give the weekly Twilight organ recital at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon in Hill auditor- ium.

BURTON EXPRESSES INTEREST INl PLAN OFFEEDBYKIRKPATRICK (By Associated Press) Washington, March 8.-The United States government has declined the in-1 vitation to participate in the Genoa, economic conference. The decision of the governient was transmitte here to Senor Ricci, the Italian ambassa- dor, who, acting for his country and indirectly for the allied supreme coun- cil, extended the invitation for Amer- ican participation. The position of the American gov- ernment as set forth in the communi- cation handed Ambassador Ricci is that participation by the United States in any general European economic conference is impossible at this time, owing to the complete failure of European nations, in the view of the. American government, to adopt prop- er measures for remedying the rav- ages of war, and insuring the stabiliza- tion of economic life.' It is understood that the American' government also failed to agree with the European powers as to the par- ticipation of Russia, and, in that con- nection cites the policy of the United States of non-recognition of the soviet regime as set forth in the note pf last March.

EXHIBIT LANDSCAPE DESIGNS IN ALUMNI MEMORIAL HALL Plans and drawings of various phases of landscape designing are on exhibit in the northwest room on the first floor of Alumni hall. The exhibit includes a collection of plans and elevations of various Ital- ian gardens, notably that of the Villa Gambria, drawn by C. Lawson, Amer- ican fellow in landscape architedture at the American academy in Rome from 1915 to 1920. Plans and drawings submitted in the 1921 competitions' for the fellowship at Rome, which was awarded to Ralph Griswold, of Cornell university, are also on exhibit. Prof. Hopkins Presides at Meeting Prof. Louis A. Hopkins, professor of mathematics and secretary of the Col- leges of Engineering and Architecture, president Tuesday afternoon at a meeting of the Council of Church Boards of Education at Lane hall. Men prominent in church education from various parts of the country were here and many problems of their work were discussed.: article by Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, of the political science department, in the; March issue of Survey. In this arti- cle Dr. Kirkpatrick advocates greater democracy in the administration of collegs and universities, asserting that for the most part they are autocratic, and proposes a plan for administration by committee, with the t faculty and' student body having a considerable voice in executive decisions. "I do not wish to be considered an authority on the subject," said the President, "but I do think that such an experiment would be most interest- ing, and I would watch it closely. "The plan of course has its draw- backs. Everyone will agree that lead- ership in any organization of impor- tance is indispensible, and I an of the impression that the plan proposed fails to give sufficient consideration to that point. It is an indisputable' fact that under the present system one man or at least a very few individuals are popularly held responsible for everything thathoccurs in connection with the University, often for occur- rences of which they have no knowl- edge. But, nevertheless such an at- titude, unfair as it may be, makes for greater executive efficiency. "The ancient Athenians practiced pure democracy in their municipal government, and the same has been true of the Swiss cantons, where a comparatively small population and concentration within narrow geo- graphical limits makes it practicable. There is a question whether such a system could be successful on a large scale, but I would like to see it tried, and would watch the effort with keen- est interest." line Chorus Work Done In Concert Application blanks for the second annual Military ball, given under the1 auspices of the campus post of Veter- ans of Foreign Wars in Barbour and1 Waterman gymnasiums Friday eve- ning, April 28, will be available at the Union desk tomorrow. Due to the1 expected demand for tickets, applica- tions will also be available on Monday,, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Circolo Italiano Hears Cross Prof. H. R. Cross, of the fine ats department, gave an illustrated lec- ture on "A Trip Through Italy," before the Circolo Italiano in Alumni Memo- rial hall last night. Professor Cross delivered the lecture entirely in Ital- ian and described many of the in- teresting points from the Alps on down through Italy. Several selec- tiones from Italian literature were given in his talk. THETA PHI ALPHA AND DELTA DELTA DELTA TIED FOR LEAD With the last day of campaigning here, the Michiganensian still lacks 239 of the 500 subscriptions at which it aimed. Yesterday's sales netted 121 subscriptions, which, added to Tues- day's number, gives the grand total to date of 261. This amount includes both part paid and paid in full sub- scriptions. In spite of many handicaps, the en- thusiasm of the workers in the cam- paign does not seem to be diminish- ed. While the women can no longer sell on the campus, booths have been placed in the Library, in University' hall, and in Barbour gymnasium, at which teams. are present throughout the day. Only men will betat the sta- tions on the campus outside buildings today. The high team yesterday was from the Theta Phi Alpha sorority, whose total amounted to 25 subscriptions, while the Chi Omega team turned in 22. *As the tegms now stand Theta Phi Alpha and Delta Delta Delta are tied for first place, each having 33 subscriptions. Chi Omega and Kappa Kappa Gamma each have a total of 30 subscriptions. The standing of the 16 sororities participating in the sales campaign is as follows: Alpha Chi Omega, 23; Alpha Omicron Pi, 19; Alpha Phi, 0; Alpha Xi Delta, 12; Chi Omega, 30; Collegiate Sorosts, 15; Delta Delta Delta, 33; Delta Gamma, 10; Gamma Phi Beta, 5; Kappa Alpha =Theta, ; Kappa Delta, 10; Kappa Kappa Gam- ma, 30; Mu Phi Epsilon, 6; Pi Beta Phi, 10; Theta Phi Alpha, 33; and Zeta Tau Alpha, 19. Aside from the chang- es in locations, the rules for the com- -petition remain the same as previ- ously.

Coats) Effective chorus work, a "peppy" quartet, pulsating harmonies by the Mandolin club, some "mighty good jazz," and some excellent selections by Mildred Chase, also soloist, were the things which made last night's concert by the Girls' Glee club enjoy- able for all. The'club itself, under the, direction of Nora Crane Hunt, gave four groups of numbers. From these thee groups, three numbers, Mary Helen, Brown's "Nocturne" with violin obligato, Haw- ley's "Song of the Seasons" and "Good Night, Good Night Beloved," arranged by Clifford Page, shone in a class by themselves. The finest work on the entire pro- gram was that of Mildred Chase. She sings with sympathy and understand- ing, interpreting the various moods of "Rain," "A Lullaby" and "Life" as only one who lives the soggs can.
