NO. 61 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1921 PRICE FIVE CE JAPAN WAIVES ALL RIGHTS IN SHANTUNG AFFAI PRESENT REGIME OF PROVINCE TO BE PART OF CHINESE CUSTOMS SYSTEM ADMIRAL KATO DENIES, CHARGE OF B A'RGAINING Declares Press Reports Contrary to Fact and Give Wrong Impression of Honest Endeavor (By Associated Press) Washington, Dec. 5. -Japan agreed to waive all her preferential rights in Shantung when the negotiations be- tween Japan and China looking to a settlement of the dispute over the Kaio Chou affair were resumed today. Resume Discussion Tomorrow Agreement was also reached for the present regime of the province to be an integral part of tie Chinese cus- toms system. The Japanese, however, woldd be permited to communicate with the inspector general in the Ja- panese language The conversation will be continued tomorow afternoon when the question of public proper- ties will be taken up. Emphatic denial that Japan is play- ing "what is called a bargaining gamQ" In Washington was made tonight by Admiral Baron Kato, acting .head of the Japanese delegation. He attribut- ed delays to the cable situation, add- ing that the issues involved could not be decided without "the fullest knowl- edge and consideration of the Japan- ese government". " "Will Agiee" Baron Kato said he was convinced the conference should be able to agree on an adjustment "fair to all par- ties" and added that he and his col- leagues "would spare no effort to- ward the earliest possible .conclusion consistent with wisdom and fore- sight." Newspaper reports that Japan was playing a bargaining game, he said, were "contrary to the facts" and are to be regretted, since they link up an "unworthy' motive" in the popular mind with the "honest endeavors for the betterment and progress of man- kind".

INDIVIDUAL ALUMNI DISCUSS DORMITORIES FOR THE MEN Individual alumni of the University, mostly of Detroit, are discussing the position of building dormitories on the campus for men. This undertaking is one entirely of private initiative on the part of alumni interested in see- ing dormitories installed on the cam- pus, the University having no connec- tion with the proposition except that it would exercise authority as to reg- ulations for the dormitories.. 23E AND '25 PAY CLASS DUES TODAY Junior engineers and freshman lits will have booths located on the cam- pus today for the final collection of class dues. Junior engineers will have,tables distributed in all parts of the Engi- neering building and collections will be made during the entire day. Class officers are anxious that all fees be paid at this time. Freshman lit dues may be paid to- day and tomorrow at the table in ,University hall opposite the regis- trar's office. Those who fail to pay will not be permitted to attend or par- ticipate in any of the class functions.- the first of which will be held shortly after Christmas.tt BASKETBALL SEATS zO0ON SALETODAY Only One Group May Be Purchased Before Friday, When Remainder Goes on Sale OFFICIALS ASSERT EXTRA COST OF TICKETS FAIR Tickets for the season's basketball games will be placed on sale at 9 o'clock today at the Athletic associa- tion office In the Press building. Stu- dents may buy only one of the groups until Friday of this week, when the remaining tickets will be placed on sale. After that time a student may purchase both of the groups, or may, if he has purchased one group, buy his second preference. Attention is called to the factnthat these tickets are on sale only to stu- dens of he University, and in order that others may notbuy, the student will be required to show hs athletic book and submit coupon 24. Ticket Charge Fair The fairness of the charge for tick- ets to the basketball contests was again pointed out yeterday, when it was declared that the original action of the Regents providing for athletic coupon books in 1912 made these books admission to events on Ferry field only. Since the inauguration of basketball in 1917, there has been more and more Interest shown every year, and the problem of accommo- dating those who wanted to attend the games became greater. At first all were admitted to the events In the gymnasium in spite of the fact that the coupon books were originally authorized only as admis- sion for out-of-dor events. A plan was tried out whereby the student re- ceived two basketball tickets. This worked fairly well, but even then all those who wanted could not be ac- commodated. I The Groups Two groups of tickets are available today, each group admitting the pur- chaser tq six games, and selling for $2. Group A includes the following games: Carnegie Technical Institute, Dec. 30; M. A. C., Jan. 6; OhioState, fan. 9; Indiana, Feb. 20; and Illi- noIs, Feb. 2. The indoor track meet with Chicago, Feb. 2, is also in-. luded. Group B is composed of the follow- ing contests: Western State Normal, Dec. 9; Carnegie Technical Institute, Dec. 31; Chicago, Jan. 10; Wisconsin Feb.: 18; Iowa, March 4; and North- western, March 6.

Burton Speaks to High School President Marion L. Burton will speak this morning before the mem- bers of the Ann Arbor high school. In 1909 a committee of student ad- visers was organized to coach athletes who were deficient in their duties. The faculty passed a resolution pro- hibiting "keg parties" in 1908.

Goebel, '23E, is Michigan's 1922 football captain. His election took place at a meeting of the foot- ball team held yesterday. Coming to Michigan in 1919 after a brilliant grid- iron career at Grand Rapids Central high school, where he played during his entire course at end and center, Goebel tried out for the yearling team and had no difficulty in landing a per- COMMENCE SALE OF RAILROAD TICKETS Agents at both the Michigan Cen- tral and Ann Arbor stations ask that students who are going home for the holidays on either of these lines buy their tickets and make Pullman res- ervations as soon as possible so as to prevent over-crowding of trains at the busy time. Last year at vacation time some, trains leaving here were so crowded that it was necessary for many to stand for considerable dis- tances. "Quite a number of students have already bought their tickets but those who have not yet done so should attend to it very soon in order that we may give first class service to our patrons by knowing how large a number to provide for," said the Michigan Central agent yesterday aft- ernoon.

Shaw, '04, editor of the Michigan Alumnus, is laying plans for a campaign for subscriptions to the Alumnus to take place during the Christmas holidays. Mr. Shaw intends to secure students who will be re- turning home for vacation to do the work for which they will be paid a commission for each subscription taken. At the present time the circulation of the Alumnus is 7,500 copies per week, but due to the'increased cost of the publication since it has been made a weekly it has become necessary to in- crease the circulation by at least 1,500 copies. This is tire first year that the Alumnus has been published once a week, formerly having been a month- ly, and according to letters received at the Alumnus office the change has proved popular with alumni all over the world. Mr. Shaw is desirous of seeing at once at his office in Alumni Memorial hall any students who would be inter- ested in campaigning for the Alumnus and incidentally earning some money during the coming vacation. CONGRESS AECONYLNS FOR LONG SESSION HARDING TO DELIVER MSAGE AT 12:30 O'CLOCK TODAY (By Associated Press) Washington, Dec. .-Congress re- assembled today with the usual formal ceremony of a new session and with its legislative course fairly well shap- ed. The opening program was rou- tine, however, and was viewed by smaller crowds than customary. In- terest in general was subordinated to President Harding's address which will be delivered at a joint session at1 12:30 o'clock tomorrow. His recom- mendations are expected to deal prin- cipally with tariff revision, govern- mental 'economy, and development of the federal budget system. Unusual interest in the Persident's appearance was manifested in view of the assured attendance of.gpe'ctators, of delegates, and attaches to the arm- ament limitation conference.' Admis- sion to the house chamber is to be by special card. The President today devoted himself to work on the message, denying him- self to all visitors. Michiganensian Tryouts Wanted Sophomores wishing to try out for the editorial staff of the Michiganen- sian report at the Michiganensian of- fice, Press building, between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon. Darnton, '23, Goes to Baltimore Sun Byron F. Darnton, ex-'23, who has been employed on the Port Huron Times-Herald, has accepted a position on the Baltimore Sun.

MONTHS OF WO" CULMINATED WITH RISE OF CURTAIN AT 8: SONGS MAY PROVE OF LASTING MERIT Costumes, Scenery and Music Said to Surpass All Previous Productions Cast and chorus of the sixteenth an- nual Union opera, "Make It for Two", are ready for the premiere at 8:15 o'clock tonight at the Whitney thea ter after more than two months of continuous rehearsal under the super- vision of E. Mortimer Shuter, di- rector. Final Touches Added Costumes and complete stage sets for the production were in Ann Arbor Saturday in readiness for the per- formance tonight and all of the dances and songs were practically in their final form by the end of last week. Stage committees, property men, and make-up artists have all been practic- ing their duties in the show for some time, and all indications are that "Make It for Two" will be played without even the minor hitches that usually attend a first night perform- ance. ; The book for this year's opera was written, by Leo Niedzielski, '24, and is divided into two acts. The first has stage sets representing a modern drawing room, in the home of a "nou- veau riche" family on Long Island, The most brilliant effects of the show are said to come toward the end of this act, with elaborate costumes and carefully worked out scenery, done by Carl Bromel, of Detroit. B o;nel Paints Scenery The scene of the second act, whose stage sets were also do'e by Bromel, is the king's courtyard on the Island of Nowhere, off the coast of Algeria. Futuristic effects are particularly sought for and the Oriental atmos- phere wil be enhanced by two Ha- waiian students in costume, splaying ukeles and Hawaiian guitars. The music and lyrics for the show were written by Forman C. Brown, '22, and are declared by the directors of the opera to be as catchy as those of any previous Union production. "The operas of recent years have been singularly lacking in songs of lasting merit," said Mr. Shuter yesterday, "but at least two, "My Garden of Girls" and "Girls of the Season", in this year's show, should be kept on the permanent list of Michigan favorites." Friday Is Formal Night Friday night, in accordance with the custom of the opera, will be formal night. The Union does no't prescribe the type of attire to be worn at that performance, but the practice for sev- eral years has been for large numbers to appear in evening clothes on Friday night. The orchestra for "Make It for Two", which will this year be-of the regular musical comedy type, is under the direction of Kemp Keena, '20. It has been practicing for a number of weeks and is now declared to be ready for the opening chorus of Athe 1922 performance tonight, News of the Day IN BRIEF Paris, Dec. 5.-Germany will prob- ably be granted a three years' delay in her cash- indemnity payment, the As- sociated Press is informed from the most reliable sources. Negotiations are now going on between the repara- tion officials of France and Great Brit- ain, and the responsible officials of both countries virtually agree that Germany must be given a breathing spell. London, .Dec. 5. - Premier Lloyd George is making a determined elev- enth hour attempt to save what ap- pears to be a hopeless situation. After a full cabinet meeting today the prem- ier summoned the Irish delegates to meet the Irish committee of the cab- 4.. ,' Ma terly Reserve In All Phases Harks Friedman Concert Last Night (By Sidney B. Coates) Unassuming, reserved, with face and body quiet, sat Ignaz Friedman before the big grand piano last night In Hill auditorium. Then with that same re- served manner he began his render- ing of the allegro and rondo-allegret- to movements of Beethoven's Sonata, Opus 90. He played with an absolute control that caught and held his au- dience. Had Perfect Control Every phrase was carefully worked out and eve'ry mark of expression pul- sating and distinct, but still 'reserved. Ignaz Friedman knew exactly what he wanted and he knew how to pro- duce it. Then with his arms, wrists and fingers bringing forth the music with the keenness of ice and the warmth of fire, he launched into the Bach-Busoni "Chacomne" and the au- dience had taken the first step in Mr. Friedman's program. His interpretation of the Chopin' group was perhaps the best liked, es- pecially that of the first etude in Opus 25, which brought forth such /enthu- siasm that Mr. Friedman repeated it. This number with the Ballade, Opus 42, and Vaise, in C sharp minor, were the most popular of the Chopin group. In the last section of the program came four of his own compositions, full of an urging restlessnes and re- quiring the utmost skill in execu- tion. Final Numbers Are Climax He finished with the "Tannhauser" overture by Wagner-Liszt, playing it in such a way as to make the climax of the whole evening; but he played a combination, .almost impossible to reconcile. Wagner's warm humanness and Liszt's eccentricities some way do not seem to harmonize, and while the number is brilliant and calls for all the skill of a great artisbt, its message seems obscure. PROFESSORS WHITE, BADGER ATTENDING A. I. C. E. MEETING Profs. A. H. White and W. L. Badger, of the chemistry department, are at- tending the meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers which meets in Baltimore, Md., Dec. 6 to 9, at which both will speak.
