gather at 7:30 o'clock tonight at the
Union for the annual freshman re-
ception, the first big social gathering
1eld every year by the incoming class.
The reception will be held in the as-
sembly hall. President Marion L.
Birton will give the address after
wich each freshman will have a
4hance to shake hands with him.
The reception is annually held by
tbe Union that the freshmen may have
o opportunity to become acquainted
with one another, and to learn about
toe customs and traditions of the Un-
fv~rsity. Preceding President Bur-
tqn's talk, Charles W. Merriam, '25E,
chairman of the Union underclass ad-
visory committee, will give a short
speech concerning the relationship of
the first year men and their upperclass
advisors. Thomas J. Lynch, '25L, will
preside.
The affair is not only to have on its
- hedule talks, but eats, music by the
Uriion orchestra, and a get-acquainted
entertainment. All upperclassmen
who are acting as freshman advisors
for the Union are urged to get their
men to attend the reception.
MTE SET FOR MEETING
OF PROMINENTLUMNI
INFORKA. CONFERENCE CALLED
TO DISCUSS UNIVERSITY
- QBLEMS *
Prominent alumni of the University
will gather for their annual confer-
ence on November 10 intsead of hold-
ing the meeting during the spring
term as has been the practice in the
fpst. Those attending will be the
guests of the Union at luncheon and
diner at that time and will also see
the Marine football game.
4rhe conference Is to be of an in-
ftrmal nature, but nevertheless will
bear some resemblance, in purpose at
loost, to the meetings of the board of
yisitors at other universities and col-
lgges. General University problems
#l1l be considered by those in attend-
ace. Between 45 and 50 alumni who
bave succeeded in their particular line
o; work have signified their intention
f accepting the invitation sent out
by President Burton and more are e-
pected to do so.f
tJnion Rooms All
Taken By Alumni
Not only is the Athletic association
swamped by a deluge of requests for
football tickets for the big games of
the fall, but the Union is in some-
thing of the same position because of
he thousands of requests that come
.*'from Alumni members of the Uin-
+in for bed room accommodations on
the week-ends of the games, This
year's demand is unprecedented, ac-
eording to Homer Heath, general man-
ager of the Union. All of the Union's
rooms were given to Alumni members
in the order of application, and by
Iast Aug. 15, the supply of rooms for
the week-ends of the Ohio State, Ma-
rine and Minnesota games was com-
pletely exhausted. The requests are
continuing to come in with steadily
ipcreasing volume as the date of thE
games draws nearer, but there is noth-
Ing for officials to do except to state
that it is Impossible to Aneet the
requests.
The applications for accommoda-
tion at the Union form a good barom-
eter of how widely the Alumni plan
to attend this year's games, and prac-
tically every state in the United States
is numbered among those whose cit-
Ilens are coming back to Ann Arbor
'.is fall.

SUBORDINATE GROUP MAY BE
PICKED TO IIANDLE )ETAILS
Members of the Student council will
meet at 7 o'clock tonight at the Union

tain of the football team. John W.
Kelly, '24L, is president of the coun-

work of this year which will actively
begin at the meeting tonight.
The problems which immediately?
confront the council, including fresh-
'nan discipline and the organization of
some subordinate body to assist the!

BURTON PAYS GR EAT
TRIBUTE TO SPEAKER
To Address Students This Afternoon
on "Leading the Crowd or
Following It"
Declaring that the universites of
this country, because of their empha-
sis on the wrong things in education
were failing in their obligation of
turning out thinkers of trained and
disciplined minds, Dr. Albert Parker
Fitch who spoke last night in Hill
auditorium under the auspices of the
Students Christian assocaion, urged
his hearers to a sense of their moral
obligation to be intellectual, and the
great need today of honest courageous
thinkers.
President Marion L. Burton, in com-
menting upon the speech last night
said,
"If the students of the Universty are
as wise as we think they are, Hill
auditorium will be packed to the doors
at 5 o'clock this afternoon to hear Dr
Albert Parker Fitch. Those who heard
hin3 last night know why I say this
These addresses are among the rares
treats of a year full of good things
You cannot afford to let this chance
go by."
Dr, Fitch is one of the leading re-
ligious workers in the country whose
sities and speak to the young men and
mission it is to go out to the univer-
young women of those institutions.
His address, "The Moral Obligation to
be Intellectual" was an appeal to his
hearers to "throw off the intellectual
irresponsibility ,the mental indiffer-
ence, the moral indolence that they
had acquired and to learn to love
truth for truth's sake, to think clearly
and concisely and to accept in fact
their great moral obligation to be in-
tellectual."
Speaking to the audience person-
ally he said, "You have brought your-
self to Ann Arbor, but what did you
come for? You have brought yourself
to a great tax supported institution,
where all the treasures of knowledge
are stored. Your first moral obliga-
tion is to cultivate an honest mind.
The duty of the University should be
to create in you character, and char-
acter begins in an honest and clear
mind. Character is not clean living or
respectable living, but it is intellect-
ual integrity, honesty and coura.ge."
The speaker then denounced the
present system of education. "We
1make education exist for another
thing. We should train minds that
can lead the affairs of a great repub-
lic. But we stress the social and econ-
omi'c parts of life. We hope that ed-
ucation will pace us in a higher stra-
Ita of society
This afternoon at 5:00 o'clock in
Hill auditorium. Dr. Fitch will
speak on "Inherited or Acquired Re-
ligion." and Thursday ,vening, he
will speak on "Leading the Crowd or
Following It."

ATTEMPT TO PURCHASE "1"
SWEATER CHAGRINS FROSH
I Ambition is a. great thing. At
least this is what one freshman
on the campus now believes who
so liked the appearance of a
Ivarsity football "M" sweater that
he calmly walked into George
Moe's shop and asked if he
might buy one. At the refusal
his disappointment was great but
it all goes to show that a grey
pot and a green look can't keep
a man of ambition from at least
trying for the .thing he wants
when he wants it.
ELECTIONS CANBE
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY SET ASIDE
FOR ALTERATION OF
SCHEDULES
UPPERCLASSMEN TO CONSULT
IN REWISTRAR'S OFFICE
Changes in elections in the literary
college may be made tomorrow and
Friday in University hall as is the
usual custom. According to Registrar
Arthur G. Hall, only those students
who have legitimate excuses for
changing their course may do so with-
out paying a fine of $1.
Juniors and seniors desiring to re-
arrange their courses should call at the
registrar's office in University hall on
either of the two allotted days. Fresh-
men and sophomoires may make chang-
es in the auditorium of that building.
Only in cases where faculty mem-
bers have changed hours for lectures
and quiz sections or where thereare
conflicts may elections be changed
without the usual fine. Or as Regis-
trar Hall expresses it, "No student
may change elections just because he
or she desires a blonde instructor in-
stead of a brunette."
After this week all those who must
make changes must consult Dean Wil
bur R: Humph'reys' and secre the
signatures of their instructors.
192 WORLD'S 'SERIES TO
OPEN AT YANK STADIUMI~
New York, Sept. 25.-(By A.P.)-The
1923 World's series will open on Wed-
nesday Oct. 10, at the Yankee stadium,
home of the third time American
league champion and greatest baseball
park in the country, regardless of
whether the New York Giants or the
Cincinnati Reds win the fight to rep-
resent the national league.
This was decided today at a meeting
of local club officials with Commis-
sioner Kenesaw M. Landis, when Col-
Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New
York Yankees, won the toss to decide I
which league should have the honors
of opening the series.
Should the Giants stand off the
eleventh hour challenge of the Reds
and take the pennant, thus making thet
series an all metropolitan affair for
the third successive time, the games
will alternate between the Yankee
stadium and the Polo grounds.
In the event that Cincinnati upsets
calculations and wins the flag by "a
miracle" finish, the first two games
will be played in the Yankee stadium
and the next two at Redland field,
with a probable lapse of a day for the
shifting of battle fields.

Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 25.-
(By A. P.)-Thirty five thousand men
in the state have volunteered in the
Oklahoma national guard during the
legislative crisis, Gov. J. C. Walton
announced here tonight.
The executive made it plain, that he
anticipated no necessity for calling the
volunteers to duty.
Troops Called
Another unit of guardsmen will be
brought to Oklahoma City tomorrow to
aid the troops already here in block-
ing the called session of the legisla-
ture at noon, the governor added. Be-
cause of the military censorship over
troop movements Governor Walton de-
clined to say what units had been
called.
Appeals for National Aid
President Coolidge and Attorney
General Daugherty were appealed toj
tonight by Gov. J. C. Walton to use
their office to prevent members of the
lower house of the Oklahoma legisla-
ture from convening tomorrow in any
federal building in the state.

Thought To Be Direct Result of Ruhr
Controversy; Debate Return
of Prisoners
Paris, Sept. 25.-(By A. P.)-The
political situation in Germany as the
aftermath of the decision, to abandon
passive resistance in the Ruhr is being
watched by the French government
with sore anxiety in view of the
possibility of a natonalist movement;
such as one tending to separate Ba-
varia from the Reich, the outbreak of
mild bolshevism, in Prussa and fresh
impetus to the separatist movement
in the Rhineland. Should serious dis-
turbance of any sort arise in the rest
of Germany it is thought they would
most certainly have the result of in-
creasing the number of Rhinelanders
desirng to assure continuation of
their tranquility by separation.
No Interference
The allied troops, it is asserted in
official circles, will not be allowed to
take sides in any conflict as, in the
absence of other military force, re-
sponsibility rests upon them for the
maintenance ofoorder in the occupied
territories. There is good reason for
the conclusion that the French attri-
bute lttle importance to the separate
movement just formed, but that they
will not intervene to prevent the in-
habitants from taking any action they
see fit so long as order is not dis-
turbed.
Violent Outbreaks
In the event that the cessation of
passives resistance is not attended by
violent outbreaks, the allies will, it is
assumed, be faced at once with the
necessity of providing for a new
region of occupation. The hypothe-
sis is that the industrial leaders of
the Ruhr, freed from the restrictive
decree of the Berlin governnent, will
repeal the promises made.
Germany to Request
It is anticipated that the German
government pending final terms of
payment of reparations will ask that
the expelled finctionaries be allowed
to return to the Ruhr, that the im-
prisoned industrial magnates includ-
ing Dr. Krupp von Bohlen be released
and that the rigors of the occupation
be lessened.
Information gleaned from oflcial
circles indicates there will be no
strong objection to ;a change in the
occupational region and that the
French government is quite willing to
r.. it as far as possible of its disa-
greeable features. The return of the
German functionaries, however, is a
more serious matter, since most o
them are Prussians, and it is feared
by the allies that they are likely to
raise new forms of obstruction.

court of enquiry, investigating the
wreck.
Capt. Edward H. Watson,. chief of
the eleventh squadron, was the com-
mander who told the story and in it
he took upon himself full responsi-
bility for the catastrophe.
Presiding members of the investiga-
tion body asked him to state whether'
he had ever objected to his division
commanders asking independently for
radio compass bearings with which to
check their squadron commander's
navigation, or whether he had ever ob-
jected to their taking surroundings
for the purpose of making sure that
the flagship was right in its reckoning
To these questions Capt. Watson
answered that he had never objected
to such independent activities. Under
cross examination Captain Watson
followed up his answer by saying that
surroundings could not have been
taken while the squadron was travel-
at 20 knots.

Little change in the total number of
students enrolled in all colleges in the
University was noted last night, al-
though a small number of persons
continued to appear after 4he closing
of officiol. registration on Monday.
The total number is now 8,578, in-
cluding estimates in several colleges
where the number has not been count-
ed, or 124 more than were enrolled on
'he day previous.
This is 515 more students than were
enrolled at this, time last year or
within 50 of the total number regis-
tered up to Nov. 1 in 1922, uifter mnost
of the late registrants had signed up.
Registrar Arthur G. Hall said yester-
day that about 80 new arrivals had
been listed in the literary college dur-
ing the dayj bringing the total in that
