The Giants I Yankees, winners of their respec- e league titles, are to begin the uggle tomorrow for the supreme ze of professional baseball. While close followers of baseball d the contention that neither the rots nor Yankees of today are the! at machine that made earlier rid Series history, the two local ms possess both the power and sonality for a sensational ,and illing series. There will be, h6w- r, more individual than team or nbination features played, and this son respects is expected to height- the glamour of the clash.

This growth is attributed to the new policy of the school concern- ing fellbwships and scholarships, which allows regularly enrolled in- structors of the Graduate school, to- gether with fellows and sdholars, ex- emption from the payment of the usual annual fees. Matriculation and other minor fees are expected. "This puts Michigan on a level with other univer- sities where it has been the policy to allow graduates exemption from an- nual dues," was the statement of Dean Alfred H. Lloyd of the Graduate school. Fellowships are now distinct from scholarships, since'they carry a larger stipend and are held only by students of more experience, ability, and inde- pendence in graduate study and re- search. The practical result is fewer fellowships of more value, so that ap- pointment to a fellowship is of more importance than was the case before. ENGINEERI NG SOCIETIES, % y MUST WORKTOGETHER TO SOjJVE NATION'S PROBLEMS, SAYS COOLEY Speakers at the meeting have been secured to address the prospective Journalists, telling them of the prob- lems they will encounter. E. J. Otta- way, of the Port Huron Times-Herald and the president of the University Press club of Michigan, will speak. He will be followed by Lee A. White, of the Detroit News. There will be a ,general discussion of journalistic work, and the organization will lay plans for future meetings and a season of activity. Anyone in the University who is in- terested in writing is eligible to belong to the club. 'At the present time mem- bers are interested in both the newspa- per and magazines as fields for their work. Those who are interested in such work and are as yet unaffiliated with the organization are welcome at the meeting tonight.- The buffet luncheon will be served at a cost of 75 cents a plate. R.

Al- most' coincidentally, it was 'made known by high administration ofi- cials that the United States does not anticipate consideration of inter-al- lied debts ,at the conference.. The formal invitation to the three additional nations were forwarded late in. the day to the .respective capitals and were extended after correspondence between Secretary Hughes, acting for President Harding, and the four principal powers orig- inally invited to send representatives to the conference. The important in- terests of each of the three nations in. the far east led to the extension of the invitation. China was invited to participate in the Pacific and far eastern discussion when the first invitations were issued, and acceptance by Belgium, Holland, and Portugal, which is regarded here as assured, will mean that nine na- tions will sit together when such dis- cussions are entered. The question of disarmament limitations, however, will be discussed only by the five, major powers. FIRST. MEETING WILL BE AT UNION THURSDAY NIGHT AT 7:30 BODY COM ARE ALRE HELDI p Jtanager Government Plan Gains worA mong Nation's Municipalities/ ByJ.M.Glatz) With ever increasing financial bur- dens being constantly:thrust upon the municipal taxpayer, the city, manager plan of government is becoming more. and more an important phase in the political life of the country. A direct offspring of Athe Galveston plan of commission government, the city man- ager plan had its genesis in the town of Sumpter, South Carolina, in 1912, but- since that time more than 200 cities in the United States including 30 Michigan towns and cities have adopted it and are successfully con-. ducting their legislative and executive function with a minimum of expense and a ma imum of efficiency. Successful at Griand Rapids The first Michigan city to adopt this form of centralized administrative control was Grand Rapids, and so suc- cessful was the venture that they have not deviated from their first course. Grand Rapids was closely followed by Kalamazoo, and this city, too, has been completely satisfied with the results, so it is not surprising to note that. Muskegon, Pontiac, Escanaba, Stur- gis, and Three Rivers have come over to the new idea and are firm advocates of the city manager idea. Under the city manager plan, the commission still remains but its func- tions are purely of a legislative and representative character. The com- mission is elected by the people, and it in turn appoints the city manager. The manager then is directly respon- sible to the commission and failure to execute their policies is sufficient cause to warrant his removal. The manager thus becomes responsible for the affairs of the city and he has also the power of appointing the subor- result this centralization of authori- ty and responsibility is bound to cre- ate a more efficient form of govern- ment, and at the same time there is not much possibility of a "one-man rule" or the -control of the city by political rings, ward healers, or small politicians. Natural College Course Therefore when one considers the vast amount of attention that' is be- ing given to clearing up the shady, side of politics by the introduction of more efficient as well as representa- tive methods, it is not surprising to learn that our colleges and universi- ties are including in their curricula courses that will fit men to accept city managerpositions. A city man- ager must know something of law, medicine, and engineering, to say nothing of his knowledge of the more general subjects which are offered in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. 20 Students Enrolled Here Here at the University of Michigan .especial attention is given to stu- dents desirous of pursuing their life work in that field and more than 20 students have signified their inten- tion of adopting that work. The nun- ber is larger this year than ever be- fore, yet special courses have been offered in that field since 1917. At that time the outbreak of the war compelled the men who were s ecializ- ing along that line to stop school and of the four men enrolled in the de- ,partment, but one returned to receive his degree in municipal administra- tion. But now that the more general trend of city government is toward the city manager plan it is expected that. in a few years a special department Nationwide co-operation of all the engineering societies in furthering the solution of national problems is the purpose of the Federated American Engineering societies, explained Deanj Mortimer E. Cooley, of the College of Engineering and Architecture, in an interview yesterday afternoon. Last Friday night Dean Cooley was unan- imously elected to the presidency of the federation, which is held to be the greatest honor for an engineer in America.' Members of the Federated Ameri- can Engineering societies are the va- rious national andlocal organizations of engineers. Each member society sends a number of delegates propor- tional to .its size to a central coun- cil, which meets at stated times in Washington, D. C. The council elects an executive committee and the pres- ident, who together transact all the affairs of the orga ization. In its year and a half of active life, the federation has been instrumen- tal in :initiating the bill now before congress for the reorganization of the departments of the cabinet, and has been the motive power, under Her- bert Hoover, of the nation-wide cam- paign against public waste. Dean Cooley indicates that its future work might concern such subjects as re- forestation or the development of a uniform code of engineering ethics. DALLAS M.

The purpose of his lectures is to advise the public what to look for in securities and invest- ments offered, in order to avoid un- necessWzy losses. Engineers Favor Broader Outlook Wider knowledge of the social and' economical affairs of life were advo- cated as the means of raising the en- gineer to the high standard of other professional men by Prof. John C. Parker, of the electrical engineering department,' last evening . when he spoke before the members of the As- sociated American Engineers at their first monthly meeting at the Michigan Union.1 "The engineer has become too narl row in his technical knowledge and his relation to society," he said, "and by segregating himself has failed 4to foster that professional consciousness that is needed ,to impress the world with the importance of the engineer's existence." The meeting commended the action of the Federated American Engineer- ing soqjeties in choosing Dean Mor- timer E. Cooley, of the College of En- gineering, as its new president, and voted' congratulations to the dean on his election. Feeling that the engineer has notr received proper recognition for his contribution to society financially or professionally was expressed by Prof. Henry E. Riggs, Prof. Emil Lrch,, and Prof. John E. Emswiler. "Professional consciousness among engineers must be the ambition of us all," Professor Lorch said. "To ac- complish it we must become social, beings, learn to live among our fel-, lows and exhibit an interest in the world's great affairs.' The next move we take must purge our ranks of non- professionals."
