THE WEATHER PROBABLY SNOW TODAY Yl r e i t' aiti ASSOCIATED PRESS DAY AND NIGHT WIRE SERVICE VOL. XXXII. No. 67 ANN ARBOR. MICHIGAN. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1921 PRICK FIVE ICEINTS' F ,. .... .. NEW COMMITTEE NAED TO SOLV NAVALPROBLEMS OLD BODY SCRAPPED FOR GROUP OF FIFTEEN IN CHARGE OF FINAL REPORT AMERICAN OF FICIAL SEES GOOD PROGRESS Sec. Hughes, Arthur Balfour, Admiral Kato Meet to Discuss Program Washington, Dec. 12. - Machinery to expedite the action on naval agree- ments was set up today by the Con- ference. At the suggestion of the American group, the former commit- tee of experts was "scrapped" in fav- or of a "committee of 15" including both plenary delegates and civil and naval experts of the five powers. The1 whole subject of naval limitations, in- cluding the cornerstone, "five-five- three" ratio was turned over to the new committee to be put in final shape for the Conference. The "big three" of the naval con- ference, Secretary Hughes, Arthur J. Balfour and Admiral Baron Kato, met today and are understood to have con- sidered the naval ratio problem, but no announcement as to what occur- red at the meeting was gained. They will confer again tomorrow and it was regarded as probable that they were taking up the program for delibera- tion of the "committee of 15". In the light of instructions Baron Kato has received on the "five-five-three" pro- posal, how long it might take to work out the details of the treaty on the subject, no official would predict. One American official said matters seem to be rapidly "coming to a head". Santa To Attend Children 'S Party Santawill be here Thursday after- noon. From definite word received from his workshop far north, it has been decided that his headquarters are to be Lane hall, and is guests the children of Ann Arbor who have been invited to attend his party. Maynard A. Newton, '22, chairman of the committee in charge of receiv- ing His Highness Santa, has planned a most wonderful party. There are to be dances and recitations and music, and, what is far more important, there has been received from Santa's own kitchens the most wonderful assort- ment of candies and a beatuiful sup- ply of ice cream. Nelson Joyner, '23, has been in charge of the financial side of the par- ty and hetreports thatsthe boxes for contributions will remain under the Christmas tree on the campus. Sev- eral fraternities and sororities have not yet signified their willingness to entertain one or more of these tots.

LIGHTEN BERG MADE- FO&TBALL MANAGER CULMASS MEETING Varsity Athletes Will Be Honor; Letters, to Awarded Guests Be of New Head Has Served Grid tion for Two Years Organiza- MAY NOT PICK ASSISTANTS BEFORE VACATION BEGINS Announcement was made yesterday of the selection of William G. Lichten- berg, '23, as football manager for the coming year. The choice was made Saturday but the announcement was withheld in the hope that the assist- ants' for the year could be announced at the same time. It has been customary to an- nounce the manager with the assist-, ants, the latter requiring the approval of the board of directors of the Ath- letic association. At the present time it is uncertain whether the selection of the assistants can be made before the coming vacation, and it is more of an uncertainty whether the board can meet to confirm the selections be-. fore that time. Announcement of the assistants will be made as soon as possible. Lichtenberg, this year one of the as- sistants, has worked with the staff of management for two seasons. His ef- ficient work was declared responsible for his selection. PROF. BARNOUWSPEAKS ON DUTCHITERATUE HOLLAND SCHOLAR TO DISCUSS NATION'S RENAISSANCE ART TODAY "The tragedy of small nations is that their literary gift is not accepted because their truly representative works are not interpreted," said Dr. A. J. Barnouw, Queen Wilhelmina pro- fessor of Dutch language and litera- ture in Columbia university, speaking on "Contemporary Dut ch Literature" yesterday afternoon in Natural Sci- ence auditorium. Dr. Barnouw described the main currents through which the literature of his country has been running for the last 30 years. The first school of modern literatur,e he said, resem- lled the Renaissance of the seven- teenth century. Dr. Barnouw will deliver an Illus- trated address on, "Art and Artist of the Seventeenth Century," at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon in Natural Sci- ence auditorium. The last lecture in the series will be delivered at 4:15 o'clock tomorrow upon "Holland's Co- lonial Expansion." Holiday CGargole On Sale Tomorrow With a burst of color that would rival the polychrome coat of Joseph and a flash of wit that Don Marquis, F. P. A., et al., might well envy, the holiday number of the Gargoyle will make its sprightly bow to the campus tomorrow. The three color cover, by Elmer G. Wellin, '23, entitled "A Christmas 'Eve'', represents pajama-clad inno- cence armed with a glowing taper and a yawning stocking, waiting in wide eyed expectancy for Santa., The frontispiece, "a Ia Gibson", is so realistic that the only difference between it and one of Gibson's is the paltry hundreds of 'dollars that Gib- son gets "Ye Olde Tyme Opera" deftly dem- onstrates how the opera was present- ed in the days when a man had to have his clothes removed with a can opener and his pants Dathed with a MOVIES OF FOOTBALL TEAM IN ACTION WILL BE SHOWN Varsity "M" men, Varsity reserves, All-fresh football men who have earn-' ed numerals, and cross country men who have earned honors will be the, guests of honor at a mammoth mass meeting to be held at 8 o'clock tomor- row night in Hill auditorium under' the auspices of the Student council.

Yost, Captain Dunne and Captain-elect Goebel of the football team will tell "How It's Done". Coach Yost's movies of the Varsity gridders in action at the big games and of the men In practice scrimmage will be shown in the' course of the program. J. Fred Lawton, '11, composer of "Varsity", will be present to lead the meeting with some songs. Efforts are being made by the Student council to secure the Varsity band to furnish the music and several surprise entertain- ment numbers are on the program. It is hinted that the "Midnight Sons quartette" will give some selections. HENDERSON SPEAKS AT LAST SERVICE OF YEAR GOOD SIZED AUDIENCE PLEASED WITH CHRISTMAS MUSIC AND ADDRESS Christmas music, well rendered, de- lighted a large audience Sunday eve- ning in Hill auditorium. Mrs. Wil- liam Wheeler and Mr. George Clancy were the soloists. Mrs. Wheeler sang Gounod's "The Light from Heaven" with violin obligato by Mr. Clancy. Mr. Clancy played "Romance" by Svendsen. Prof. William Henderson, of the Ex- tension service, spoke on "The Spirit of Christmas". It was not, as Pro- fessor Henderson said it would not be, a regular conventional Christmas talk with Santa Claus and other worn re- minders of Christmas, but rather a plea that the United States, now the richest country in the entire world, should. prove itself big enough to step forward and help provide the coun- tries of Central Europe and Russia with the much needed stores of grain and food. HOMOEOPS lNSIST Staff Members Believe Amalgamation Will Be Unsuccessful, Making k'Annihilation FACULTY WILL NOT CONTINUE WORK UNDER PROPOSED PLAN Members of the staff of the Homoe- opathic Medical school have not chang- ed in their attitude toward the amal- gamation of the two medical schools since the decision of the Board of Regents last week. They contend that the amalgamation cannot work suc- cessfully, and that the proposed ac- tion will mean complete annihilation of the Homoeopathic school. They be- lieve,'however, that the fight has not yet been finished, and that there is still a possibility that the proposed merger will not go through. I Support Promised Dr; Copeland of New York and other prominent men throughout the country have expressed themselves as willing to do anything within their power to help maintain the Homoeopathic school as it has been run in the past. Faculty members are almost unani- mous in saying that they will not at- tempt to continue their work under the amalgamation plan, but will leave the employ of the University upon the termination of their contracts. Students Will Leave Students, it is reported, have also declared that they will discontinue the study of homoeopathy at Michigan un- less they can get the training under conditions as originally provided for when they entered. FACULTY MUST P9Y TO SEE COURT GAMES ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CORRECTS MISUNDERSTANDING OF NEW REGULATION Faculty athletic books cannot be used for admission to basketball games,'it was declared by officials of the Athletic association who are in charge of the sales of the basketball tickets. There has been some misunderstand- ing, it is said, faculty members think- ing that they did not have to purchase the tickets for the contests. No ad- mission will be granted to the games except on the presentation of the tickets which went on sale the first of last week. Sale of the tickets is slowingup somewhat and there is but a slight possibility of the entire lot being dis- posed of before the vacation. A number bought tickets for both groups Friday, Saturday and yesterday, and others took advantage of their opportunity to purchase their second lot of tickets. LIBRARIAN BISHOP TO RETURN TODAY Librarian W. W. Bishop will arrive in Ann Arbor at 8:12 o'clock this morning, direct from Europe, where he has spent three months buying books for the Library.

While absent he vis- ited England, Belgium, Holland, France and Germany, and succeeded in obtaining many valuable volumes needed in the Library collections. CONS6HT IDEURNRE Committee Investigates Water Course,I Financial Possibilities, and Student Sentiment1 OPINION OF EXPERTS SOUGHT AS TO FEASIBILITY OF POND1 Three phases of the question of making rowing a formal sport at thes University are being investigated by the committee in whose hahds the matter was placed by the Board in Control of Athletics, following the pre- sentation of the petition at their meet- ing Saturday. Ducharme is Alumni Member The question of the practicability of using Barton pond, the only available body of water near Ann Arbor; for the purpose of holding practices and regattas is being considered by Charles ?3. Ducharme, alumni -member of the board. The matters of finances and competition is being considered by Coach Fielding H. Yost. Prof. William H. Frayer, of the history department, is investigating the sentiment among the students to determine whether there is strong enough support to warrant the inauguration of the sport. Mr. Ducharme, who is investigating the, possibilities of the making of a course at Barton pond, is a member of a number of boat clubs in Detroit, and has made a study of water sports events. It Is his purpose to bring to this city a number of men who have had experience in the sport and who would be able to say whether the pond would make a suitable place for the holding of a meet. Coach Yost Assists Coach Yost will make a complete study of the financial possibilities of the sport and determine whether or not the cost would be either excessive or unwarranted. He will also determ- ine the possibilities of competing with other colleges having crews. The sentiment of the student body will be sounded out by Professor Fray- er who will report at the next meet- ing of the board whether the sport will be supported as shown by the ndications at the present time.

I f l 3 1 Detroit Symphony, With.Pinist, Pleases Audience In Second Concert (By Delbert Clark); audience which heard with delight the "Tremendously successful" was the ' Detroit Symphony orchestra and Er- win Nyiregyhazi, pianist, last evening, in Hill auditorium. Every number was{ a success, and received unusually generous applause. Those who came expecting to see in the 17-year-old Hungarian pianist a long-haired, wild-eyed erratic were no doubt badly disappointed, as he gave the appearance of an' Ann Arbor! school boy in evening clothes. Victor Kolar, conducting the orchestra, dis- played perhaps a little too much of nervous energy, his frantic gesticula- tions rivalling those of Victor Her- bert. Mr. Nyiregyhazi played Liszt's first concerto for piano and orchestra in E flat major." Particularly remarkable were the last two movements, alle- gretto vivace, and allegro marziale animato. In the first of the two the young genius' tireless magic fingers wove and interwove a fairy dance, but fairy feet never danced as did they, and in the final movement the compo- sition came to a powerful, crashing climax. Particularly noteworthy in the or- chestra numbers were t'he stirring~ andante maestoso, allegro vivace movements in Tschaikowsky's Fifth Symphony in E minor. The program came to a mighty close with Enesco's Roumanian Rhapsody in A major, after the ballet music from Gounod's "Faust" The concert was without doubt one of the best ever given in Ann Arbor by the Detroit orchestra. Barristers to Hear Professor Riggs Prof. Henry E. Riggs, of the civil engineering department, will speak be- fore the bi-monthly luncheon of Bar- risters, senior law honorary society, at the Union this noon. Professor Riggs' subject has not been announced. "PEACE ON EARTH; GOOD WILL TO MEN!" Are Available At Union DeskJ Students who desire seats in any of the theaters in which "Make It For Two," the Union opera, plays during its Christmas tour, should obtain ap- plication blanks at the Union. Many students hate tried to ob- tain tickets directly through the Un- ion. Application blanks must be se- cured first, however, and the students must send these to the respective the- aters, where exchanges will be made and the tickets mailed back to the ap- olicants. Opera officials urge that members of the Union particularly take advant- age of this method of securing tickets, thereby receiving preference over the general public in the distribution of seats. PROF. WENLEY TO ADDRESS SOPH ENGINEERS TONIGHT Prof. Robert M. Wenley, of the phi- losophy department will speak at the sophomore engineer smoker to be held at 7:30 o'clock this evening in the Union assembly hall. Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, of the engineering college, has promised to attend if possible. The banjo quintette and Varsity quartette have been secured to furn- ish music for the occasion..

The tree will be illuminated every evening of the present week. i. i i 1 I ,. i
