Men have long fought and strived
in various ways to attain the goal of.
their desires, and today a group of
men chosen to enter Triangles, junior
engineering honorary society, will
make their way into that society by
the simple expedient of thoroughly
scrubbing the pavement of the Engi-
neering arch, beginning at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. This is not the only
attraction offered to those adventure-
some souls who would join this so-
ciety, and the further attractions of
the day will be announced in due
time.
A formal initiation will follow in
the Union and a banquet will be serv-
ed at 6:30 o'clock, when one of the
members of the Engineering faculty
will speak.

Slowly, painfully with faltering foot-

on. And while the sun blazes down
from the firmament adding to their
almost-unbearable agony, their parch-
ed and swollen tongues vainly try to
beg for pity, for a respite from this
terrible ordeal. But that swollen, and
now strangely silent organ they once
called a tongue has ceased to func-
tion, and no sounds issue from those
bloodless lips save an occasional pit-
eous moan.
But in such a crucible are souls re-
born. If any there be who shall sur-
vive this ordeal then shall they be re-
warded a hundredfold. For at the end'
of the journey stands that mute and

LERY COEE D DA9ILY,
SERTION OF VaN TYN

(By Associated Press)'
Genoa, May 12. - So gravely at va-
riance are Russia's communism and
the order of things throughout the
rest of Europe, that a general imme-
diate agreement with Russia appears
tonight impossible. This conviction is'
deeply disappointing to those who ex-
pected quick and big results at Gen-
oa, but the sentiment is tempered by
the belief that the creation of one or
more commissions to pursue an ex-
haustive study of the Russian prob-
lem will prove efficacious in helping
to reconstruct Russia.
Premier Lloyd George and the Ital-
ian leaders are convinced that the'
signing of an European truce as a
preliminary to a general non-aggres-
sive pact will gd a long way toward
tranquilizing Europe.
The French resent the accusation
that they tried to wreck the confer-
ence; they assert that the situation
justified thir views that the Russian
problem has not been sufficiently stud-
ied, and that something nore should
have been done to approximate the
views of the Russians with the rep-
resentatives of non-communists states
before hoping to reach a general
agreement at Genoa.

Michigan's Varsity baseball team
left at 5:30 o'clock last evening on
the Ann Arbor railroad for Columbus
where they will play their fifth Con-
ference game of the season this aft-
ernoon against Ohio State university.
The. party was composed of Coach
Ray Fisher, and 14 members of the
the squad. They will arrive in the Ohio
city this morning and will have head-
quarters at the New Southern hotel.
The men making the trip are all in
fine condition and anxious to come
through another Big Ten game with-
out spoiling their record of vfctories.
The Wolverines have won their last
eight consecutive games four of which
were against Conference teams and
the men think that this game although
perhaps a hard one will not result in
defeat.
With Dixon in the box, the 0. S. U.
hitters will have considerable difficul-
ty in negotiating hits and if the Var-
sity is able to solve the delivery of the
Buckeye, hurler they should run up a
nice 'score this afternoon.)
Ohio State, while always putting a
strong team in the field, have had
quite a bit of trouble coming out on
the top end of the score and have
only one victory to their credit thus
far. This was against Purdue but the
Boilermakers came back in the sec-
ond game against Ohiq State and gave
them a 7-3 beating. '

Little responsee has been given to
the repeated calls sent out to tht
rooming house owners of Ann Arbor
by the Michigan Union, regarding the
listing of available rooms during the
May Festival week-end, according to,
Philip J. Schneider, '24, chairman of
the rooming committee of the Union.
With the Festival time less than a
week off, it has become absolutely
imperative that more than 100 rooms
be secured to take care of the visitors
during the overflow. As a guarantee
to the landlady, and to avoid pre-
vious difficulties regarding rooms, no
rooms will be reserved for out-of-
town guests prior to their arrival.
The Union will be the only place
which will act as such a bureau and
it is highly advisable that all persons
having available rooms turn in a list
of these rooms to the Union together
with prices, as soon as possible, ac-,
cording to Schneider.1

Constitutional changes of an impor-j
tant nature, according to Union of-
ficials are involved' in the proposed
alterations to the Union constitution
which will be voted upon by a meet-
ing of all menbers next Tuesday
night in the assemblynhall of the
Union.
Every member of the Union is urg-
ed to attend the meeting in order that
the action taken may be fully repre-
sentative. The changes proposed have
to do with the payment of dues for
the regular term, the Summer session
and faculty dues, the designation of
the duration of annual membership,'
appointment of the financial secre-
tary ex-officio, the personnel of the
board of governors, and the power
to fill vacancies in the latter body,

and miscellaneous minor changes.
GIVE "CLOISTER" BEFORE
APPRECIATIVE1AUD0INCE,
MIMES ACHIEVES SUCCESS IN
FIRST AMERICAN PRE.
SENTATION
(By Paul Watzel)
Before a. small but appreciative au-
dience the first public performance of
"The Cloister" in this country was
given last night in the Mimes theater.
The play, which is the work of
Emile Verhaeren, is not one that is
wide in its appeal, being limited both
by its subject matter and its form.
However, Zits symbolism, its fine rhe-
torical form,, its inspirational quali-
ties, mark it as a production of more
than 4he usual quality.
It is seldom that amateurs choose
such plays for presentation. It is
more seldom that they succeed.
Mimes, first in sponsoring the produc-
tion, and then in presenting the play
in excellent fashion, deserves much
praise.
To the emotional acting of Carl W.
Guske, '22, as Dom Balthazar, and to
the portrayals of deliberate and cool
calculations by Thomas I. Under-
wood, '23L, as Father Thomas, is
largely due the success of the eve-
ning. Their work was far better than
audiences are accustomed to see on
the amateur stage.
Lauren B. Stokesberry, '24 S. of. M.,
acting the part of Dom Mark, the pure
and innocent youth, and Elman B.
Pettijohn, as the Prior, although in
lesser roles, showed much ability.
The remainder of the cast showed de-
liberate choosing' and careful train-
i'--

VAN TYNE CHARGE6
"I Knew Nothing of the Hazing and
Took no Part in it," He
Declares
SUGGESTS POSSIBLE CAUSE
FOR PRESENT SITUATION
Exception to implications drawn
from a statement issued Thursday by
Prof. Claude C. Van Tyne, professor
of history, were taken yesterday by
Vernon Hillery, president-elect of the
Student council.
The statement inferred that Hillery
was responsible for recent hazing
episodes in which Professor Van
Tyne's son was the victim.
Hillery treated the matter com-
paratively lightly so far as the profes-
sor is concerned, interpretitig the
statement'as the impulsive remark of
a man who is naturally sympathizing
with his son, and in so ,going seeks.
to place the blame upon one rather
than a group of individuals.
Makes Posidon Clear
Hillery, however, in protection of
his own interests in the matter sought
to make clear his own position.
"The statement made by Professor
Van Tyne seems to infer ,that I not
only knew of the having to which his
son was subjected, but also that I took'
part in it," he said.
"As a matter of fact, I knew noth-
ing of the hazing and took absolute-
ly no part in it. As president-elect
of the Student council, my conscience
would not permit ie to do such a
thing.
Respect for Authority
"If Professor Van Tyne is search-'
ing for the reasons that brought about
the punishment inflicted upon his son
because of his son's failure to abide
by the traditions of the University, he
might take cognizance of the fact that
this University is composed of a stu-
dent body of red blooded young men
who have justkenough respect for
authority to take it into their own
hands when that authority which they
have delegated to a smaller group is
overridden. I might suggest that had
Josselyn Van Tyne continued wearing
his pot as he promised to do as the
result of the Underclass Conduct com-
mittee's ruling, the entire . matter
would not have developed into such a
serious state as it is at present.

DENOUNCES
AS AN

Before more than 150 Michigan
alumni Thursday at Port Huron,
President Marion L. Burton answered
those who, he said, had maligned his
purposes and even his character in
his handling of University affairs. He
indignantly denounced the rumor that
the administration is using the mill
tax for the new building prbgram in-
stead of for general upkeep. He call-
ed the report an abs'urd fabrication,
asserting that in an institution like the
University, such lack of business in-
tegrity would be impossible.
He referred to the recent outbreaks
of hazing on the campus, and said
that due exercise of a saving sense
of humor would prevent alumni from
overestimating the seriousness of the
matter. However, he declared that
"the University never has and never
will tolerate any violence."
Charges made aginst him Wednes-
day by Dr. T. G. Yeomans, at the an-
nual meeting of the Michigan State1
Homoeopathic Medical society here,'
were flatly denied. The President
stated that he had proof of his in-
nocence of the charge of double-deal-
ing in- the Medical school merger.
This proof has recently been pub-
lished.
In the evening the President was
the principal speaker before the con-
vention of the Michigan Parent-
Teacher association,
