"Oriental South America," was the
subject on which Harry A. Franck, '03,
"the world's most accomplishe and
expert traveller" and author of eight
noted books on his travels and adven-
tures, delivered his lecture last night
at Hill auditorium under the auspices
of 'the University Oratorical associa-
tion.
Interprets Customs
A simple description by Mr. Franck
of the life and customs of the work-
ing people of Brazil, Paraguay, and
the three Guianas, made vivid and pic-
turesque' by lantern slides, delighted,
the well filled auditorium. The. travel-
er, throughout his lecture interpreted
the meaning of the life and customs of
the people by his description.-
Mr. Granck first described the large
cattle ranches of Uraguay and told
something of the political life of the
Uraguayans. He then spoke of Brazil,
describing the towns and townsmen
of all the more important and sea-
coast regions of that country.
He pictured the life of Rio de Jan-
erib,-"the most beautiful city of the
western hemisphere,"-its "large state-
ly buildings," its "long and elevated
aquaducts," its "picturesque harbor,"
its "antiquated churches," its "people
of different tongues and colors," its.
"Portugese venders," and its "civic in-
stitutions.".-
Pictures Interior
Mr. Franck also gave a number of
descriptions of Brazilian life in the in-
terior. .He told of the 'different steps
in the production of rubber, coffee,
sugar, and other South American pro-
ducts. Descriptions of the "City of
Tree,", the "Palm-leaf fan tree,"
the."gregarious birds," and the "snake
farm" al proved new and interesting.

Fewer Students fail This Year
Than In Same Period In 1920
Every effort will be made to send
out the marks of the students of the
literary college for the courses which
they took the past semester either to-
day or tomorrow, according to Regis-
trar Arthur G. Hall.'
Fewer students failed to pass their
courses this past semester than in
1920 and there is good indication that
the number of warnings to be sent out
this semester will be considerably
sialler. Many students who have
'been on probation or who have. been
warned as a result of the grades
which they received in their courses
last year will have their probations
and warnings lifted and will again be
eligible for campus activities.
Notices from.Registrar Hall's office
have been sent to the 152 students.

Wood has been in the Far East and
traveled through Japan, the Philip-
pines, China, the South Seas and Si-
beria. He was called back to help

Washington. /
At present he is delivering a series
of lectures before university students.
Recently he was invited to talk to
the Army and Naval War colleges. He
insists that he is still a newspaper
man and not a lecturer, and that he is
coming to Ann Arbor to give a talk
and not lecture, and also to look
over the university once more.
Luncheon at Union
The lecture will be of particular
value to students in journalism and
also those who desire to hear a first
hand report on world events of the
past few years.
Following the lecture in University
Hall, Mr. Wood will be the guest of
the Students' Press club at a lunch-
eon at 12:15 o'clock in the Union. He

More than 200 students have noti-'

were leaving the literary college at
the end of the past semester. In many
cases, and in almost all of the cases
where the student is dropping entire-

financial. The majority of the others
who are leaving the literaryhcollege
are doing so in orer to transfer into
another college of the University.
UNIVERSITY BUY5S$
BUIL DING SITES
One Entire Block Purchased as Well
as Several Smaller
Plots
ARRANGEMENTS ALREADY MADE
FOR RAZING HOUSES ON LAND
{
Evidence of the activity of the new
University building plans is shown by
the large purchases of land in the vi-
cinity of the campus .on which the
new University buildings will be
erected. Although actual construe-
tion is not as yet well-under way the
sites for the new buildings are now
definitely located, the land acquired,
and the breaking of ground held up
only until the arrival of warm
weather.
The entire block included between
East University avenue, Church
street, College street, and Washtenaw
avenue has been purchased and ar-
rangements. havebeen made for the
razing pf the houses thereon.
Buy 198 Feet Moe
The middle of the block on East
University avenue by the Tappan
school measuring 198 feet on East Uni-
versity and extending back to Church
street is now University property and
will be cleared shortly to make room
for the new buildings.
On South University two-thirds of
the block included between Haven
street, East University avenue, South
University avenue, and Monroe street!
has been purchased, and in addition
the University has bought up several
outlying lots in the neighborhood of
the present campus to be used for lat-
er additions to the present building
program.'
To Sell Smaller Houses
The 'work of clearing out the hous-
es on the newly acquired property on
East University avenue has been giv-1
en over to the Ann Arbor Asphalt
company and the work of razing these
buildings is already under way. The
smaller houses will be sold and mo- I
ed to new locations,, while the larger3
ones will be torn down and the ma-
terials sold or used in other construc-1
tivn work of the company.
Encounter Opposition
Opposition to. the present building
plans has been encxntered from some
of the local merchants and townspeo-
ple who do not look with favor on the
clo.2ng of some of the streets which
will doubtless be necessary.
"I believe that the University is the
life of Ann Arbor, and that, if neces-
sary, half of the streets of this city
should be closed to permit the carry-
ing out of the building program a
proposed by the University," said H.
L. Abbott, city postmaster, in speak-
ing of the opposition which many mer-
chants had raised with respect to the
building plans of the University which'
would necessitate the closing of cer-
tain streets.

Senate Opinion Divided
An hour of general discussion, which
brought to the surface various cross
currents -of senate opinion, but failed
to develop definitely the relative
strength of sipporters and opponents
of the treaty, preceded the adoption of
the formal request for information.
The resolution of"request had the sup-
port of Republican and Democratic
leaders alike and was approved with-
out a record vote.
While it awaited the President's re-
ply, the foreign relations committee
decided to go ahead with other treat-
ies resulting from the arms negotia-
tions in the hope that all of them might
be passed to, ratification without con-
siderable delay.
