'CNCSSIONS ON
FARSEST TOPICS
EXTRA RIGHTS OF POWERS MAY
BE ABANDONED WITHIN
"YEAR
PRESS "10 POINTS" IN
SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS
Foreign Troops and Wire Systems
May Be Retired in Further-
ance of Integrity
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Nov. 29. - China wants
further concessions today in the con-
ference of the nine powers on ques-
tions affecting the Pacific and the Far
East.
In conformity with the Root reso-
lution declaring for the territorial and
adminstrative integrity of China, the
Pacific and Far Eastern committee
adopted resolutions looking to aban-
donment of foreign courts in China.
Extra Rights May Go
The resolution, drafted by the sub-
committee headed by Senator Lodge,
provides for an international commis-
sion of jurists, which is to report
within a year whether the Chinese
laws and court practices warrant
abandonment of the foreign courts
created under treaties granting extra
territorial rights in China.
Immediately after these resolutions
were adopted the Chinese delegates
pressed another of their "10 points",
that declaring for withdrawal of all
foreign troops from Chinese soil, and
also for abandonment of foreign tel-
egraph radio, and police wire sys-
tems. Dr. Fze, Chinese minster here
and a delegate to the conference,
presented detailed information re-
garding the number of troops and ex-
tent of foreign wire systems, in which
the Japanese predominate, and there
was wide discussion of the question
by all the delegates behind closed
doors.
Foreign Troops to Leave ,Country
General adherence, it was said, was
given to the principle of retirement o
foreign troops and wire systems from
China in conformity with the princi-
ple of the Root resolution. Qualifica-
tions were. presented, however, by
Japanese spokesmen, who held the ne-
cessity of policing railroads and tele-
graph lines.
Discussion of troop and telegraph
questions are to continue tomorrow,
with prospects that a solution will be
worked out by the delegates of the
nine powers, without reference of the
details to a sub-committee.

Whimsies Nears Professionalism In
Literary Efforts Of Contributors
(By Marian Kerr)
Whimsies, literary magazine, bids
fair to become Whimsies "magazine of
professional literature," if the number
of professionally recognized contribu-
tors to this month's issue is an indi-
cation. Of the 14 contributors five of
them have had writings accepted in
professional circles.
Contributors Professional
Ruth Lechlitner, '23, contributing
"My Little One is Dead," has had two
poems accepted by a leading poetry
magazine. N. Ermentrude Martin, '24,
and Rosaline Dunlap, ex-'24, have been
recognized in Schnittkin's "Anthology
of Poetry of the Future." Stories by
Lawrence Conrad, '23, have been fre-
quent In current magazines. Robert
Frost is also a contributor to this is-
sue.

DISCUSSION1SOPI
Faculty Men to Meet with Various
Fraternities at Regular
.} Intervals
PRESIDENT BURTON HEARTILY
APPROVES OF NEW MOVEMENT
Organization of a campus interfra-
ternity group for the purpose of dis-
cussion of University problems took
place last night when 38 representa-
tives of campus fraternities and house
clubs met at the Union, where Presi-
dent Marion L. Burton outlined the
means to them by which they could
become an effective and useful or-
ganization. Prof. C. F. Kent, of Yale
university, was a guest.
The plan of organization, initiated
by the educational department of the
S. C. A., provides that representatives
from all campus fraternities shall
hold monthly meetings at which 'tme
certain facultymembers, acting as
leaders of the discussion groups, shall
openly discuss with the students the
current problems of the University.
The meetings of the organization will
be held at the fraternity houses.
President Burton in his address be-
fore the group last night said that
such an organization had three pur-
poses: Modernization of the under-
graduate's viewpoint, appreciation of
frank and intelligent discussion, and
the benefit of the intermingling of the
students and the faculty.
SUNO WALL TO ANNOUNCE
PHYSICAL WELFARE PLAN
BETTER FACILITIES PLANNED
FOR HEALTH SERVICE AND
SANITATION
That the Students' Physical Welfare
department wil have definite plans to
make public after the meeting of the
Board of Regents, Dec. 9, was the opin-
ion of Dr. John Sundwall, director of
the department, when questioned yes-
terday.
Dr. Sundwall said that he hoped to
provide better facilities for the Uni-
versity.,Health service when the op-
portunity presented itself, and that
he has plans for changes In the intra-
mural sports which he hopes to be
able to put into force after certain
decisions have been made.
"I consider the problem of stu-
dents' diet one of our most important
in correcting physical ills," the Doctor
explained. He expressed the belief
that eventually the department would
provide for the inspection of sanitary
conditions of local boarding houses,
giving them certificates with a rating,
such as is done by the boards of
health in certain of our larger cities.
"Students are inclined to over-eat, and
the habit of eating between meals is
both expensive and destructive to
health," he concluded.
Dr. Sundwall has been recently se-
cured from the University of Minne-
sota to direct this new department.
BURSLEY ATTENDS NEW YORK
INTERFRATERNITY MEETING
tJoseph A. Bursley, Dean of Students,
atended over the week end an interfra-
ternity conference at the University
club in New York City.
work appearing is Lyndon Babcock's
"Two Thousand Years After," a one-
act tragedy having the stirring appeal
that would have done justice to the
younger days of a Henrik Ibsen. The
action of the play is carried on almost
entirely outside the stage, and this
peculiarly different problem of handl-
ing has been done with remarkable
skill.
Eight Poems in Number
Of the eight poems appearing, the
"Sanskrit Salutation to the Dawn," by
N. Ermentrude Martin, '24, isperhaps I
the most polished, having in it a touch
of Shelley. Ruth Lechlitner'., "My Lit-
tle One is Dead," is decidedly a work
of art, with its pitiful cry fcr the cold
little hands, and following it is the
strength of a glorious philosophy.
Lawrence Conrad's "Traces" is hum-
anly warm, and retrospective. It sav-
ors of the Joyce Kilmer frankness of
style.
The longest fiction, "Half a Loaf,"
by Wessel Smitter, shows a little too
conscious touch of the conservative,
fear of being "flashingly red". He be-
gins his story like a David Grayson
essay. It is quietly humorous but a
little too rhetorical.

Glee and Mandolin Clubs Offer Varied
Program in Sixty-Third Annual
Fall Presentation
SPECIALTY ANDS ENSEMBLE
ACTS COMPLETE PROGRAMj
From the opening strains of "Laudes
Atque Carmina," to the last stirring
strains of "The Victors," sung in parts
for the first time in many years, the
63rd annual fall concert of the Glee
and Mandolin clubs was a complete
success.
Before an audience approximating
more than 2,000, the club augmented
by specialty numbers including a
string sextet, Robert Dieterle, '23M, a'
singer whose work has met with un-
stinted praise in many a campus pro-
duction, the Varsity quartet, and the
Varsity quintet, the latter being one
of the hits of the last Band Bounce,
offered a program of well mingled
classic and popular selecions that
drew round after round 'bf hearty ap-
plause.
Following the rendition of "Laudes
Atque Carmina" the Glee club sang
Verdi's "Oh, Hail Us, Ye Free," with
a power and harmonious unison that
showed to advadtage the results of
excellent voices and splendid train-
ing.
The opening numbers were followed
by "Au Bord D'un Ruisseau," by De
Boisdeffre, an excellent composition
rendered by the Mandolin club, and
Robert Dieterle succeeded that num-
ber with a selection of songs.
The string sextet, three violins, a
viola, bass viola, and cello, drew ap-
plause by their presentation of Krug's
"Der Hirte Blast im Mandenschein,"
and the Varsity quartet, with three
regular vocal numbers and two en-
cores.
Two more numbers by the Glee
club, "Breeze of Night" and "Ole Uncle
Moon," preceded the Varsity quintet,
whose banjo act will be remembered
from the fall Band Bounce. Three
regular numbers and a generous list
of encores failed' to silence the de-
mands of the crowd for more.

Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster
as was expected, declared before the

Premier Lloyd George immediately
summoned the Sinn Fein delegates to

ALSTATE CONFERENCE
OF CHRISTIAN STUDENTS
OPENS HERE ON
Fi
With unusual informality and good
humor, Frank W. Rosbock, business
manager of the Newspaper Enterprise
association, spoke before the Students'
Press club last night at the Union, tell-
ing of his experiences in interviewing
such celebrities as the German crown
prince. He went into detail in pointing
out the obstacles which had to be over-
come before he could see the crown
prince, and pointed out that persev-
erance and resourcefulness were dom-
inant factors in getting the interview.
"Sixty per cent of the best stories I
ever got were from fellows whom I
hardly knew at all," Rosbock declared,
as he pointed' out the necessity of a
reporter having a wide acquaintance
among all classes of people.
In the modern newspaper world it
is hard to beat the rival papers to a
story, Rosbock said, adding that it
could only be accomplished through
anticipation. He gave as an example
an event in which an editor anticipat-
ed a riot in- a southern city, and had
his reporter on the place before it had
a good start. Accuracy, fairness, and
a good imagination were also elabor-
ated upon as being necessary requis-
