Planned
Activities of the committees in
charge of the Michigan State Older
Boys' Conference, to. be held in Ann
Arbor Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2, under
the auspices of the S. C. A., show pro-
gress which is expected to result in
one of the largest conferences ever
held in this state.
The need for sleeping quarters for
the 1,500 delegates is at present very
great. Only a small number have
been provided for, and it is urged
that all who can spare a room or two
for the three days of the gathering
send their names and addresses to
Lane Hall as soon as possible. Stu-
dents of their own sect will then be
assigned to them.
Well Fixed Financially
The financial aide of the confer-
ence is well taken care of, according
to K. N. Westerman of the finance{
committee. The Chamber of Com-
merce has offered to make up a deficit
of $200.00 for conference programs,
and the S. C. A. will furnish $200.00
more to pay for the badges. In order
to allay the cost of the 4,100 meals
which will be served during the three
days, the sum of $1.50 was added to
the fee collected from each delegate,.
A decrease in the estimated .-cost of
each meal, from, 50 to 40 cents, willc
leave a surplus of $450.00, and.it isk
with this that any incidental expenses
are to be paid.
Official programs for the confer-
ence are now being printed. A com-
plete catalogue will .be included as
well as a few pointers .and directions
for the incoming delegates, many of
whom will be in Arnn Arbor for thet
'hit'i"tme. The schedule in brief is
as follows: -

of I alamazoo College will make the

hour of group discussion at the vari-
ous church houses. Supper will thena
be served, and at 7:30 Dr. M. S. Ricef
of the Methodist Church of Detroit,"
will-make the address. 'Hoben is one
of 'the leading sociologists of this
country, and Dr. ice is known for F
his excellent speeches. Both of theses

rium.s

Airplane Carries
Dauntless Youths
To Fo ot ball Game
Driving by automobile as far wes'
as Chicago, Ill., in an attempt to wit
ness the Michigan-Wisconsin game al
Madison, and abandoning their ma-
chine at that point and boarding a
airplane for the 150 miles from thai
point to Madson, were some of th
novel experiences of two Michigan
men 4ho were determined they were
going to see the game.
Virgil Reiter, '23, and Robert Rice
'25L, were the two enthusiastic Wol-
verines. They dove to Hammond,
their home town, in a dilapidated
Ford, intending to drive on from there
in a new car. When they reached
Hammond they found they lacked the
necessary time to make Madison be-
fore the game,'so they drove on to
Chicago and finally located a plane
which agreed to take them to Madison.
They arrived in time for the first
quarter.
The plane which they took was built
by the pilot and contained a Curtis
motor. The round trip from Chicago
to Madison and back cost them $125,
the trip taking about an hour and a
half one way.
AIDPLEDGED FOR
Coolidge Asks Governors to Act as
Honorary Chairmen of
Association
DEC. 9 TO 16 TO BE SET
ASIDE AS MEMORIAL WEEK
Washington, Nov. 24.-The response
throughout the United States to th-j
Harding Memorial movement has ex-
ceeded all expectations of its found-
ers. Governors, clergymen, editors.
educators, and leaders in all walks o
life have written to the Harding Me-
morialassociation here pledging their
assistance in the campaign which be-
gins actively on Dec. 9.
Political lines have been obliterated
in the desire of Americans everywhere
to pay tribute to the President who
has been termed "100 per cent human
being."
Proclamations from governors will
6fMcially set aside Dec. 9 to 16 as
Harding Memorial Week.,. Special
church services, Iarding mass meet-
;ngs with prdhiinent men as speak-
ers, and exercises in the schools are
among the arrangements being made
or its observance.
In each state tbe .governor has been
asked by President Calvin Coolidge,!
who is honorary. chairman of the!
Harding Memorial association, to
serve as Honorary State chairman
and delegate a prominent man of that
tate as active state chairman. These
hairmen are perfecting plans for the
Memorial campaign.
. A member of the executive com-
mittee observed today that the plural-
ty of seven million votes given Mr.
larding In the Presidential election;
)f 1920 is indicatve of the late Pres-
dent's personal popularity and as-
sures the success of this campaign.
ie pointed out that a contribution of
ess than fifty cents from each of
those who helped swell the Harding
plurality would more . than make up
he desired fund.
Governors from many states have
lready written the association words
of commendation in accepting the in-
vitation to act as Honorable State
chairmen.

CLUB MKES PLANS
CHRISTMAS ACTIITIES
MRS. VANDERSLICE OF LANSING
TO AID COSMOPOLITAN
GROUP
Plans are being made by Cosmo-
politan 'Club for the entertainment of
foreign students during the Christ-
mas holidays, and it has been an-
nounced that the committees hope to
accommodate more than 50 students
from foreign lands who are unable to
go home for the Yuletide celebrations.
Last year at Lansing, Mrs. E. R.
Vanderslice acted as Santa Claus to
less than half of that number. Mrs.
Vanderslice is chairman of the
Friendly Relations committee of Wo-
men graduates, and is in charge of all
arrangements being made for the ac-
tivities this year. At the Cosmopoli-
tan Club social, Nov. 16, she made
the announcement of the work she
expects to carry on in not only .ans-
ing but in Grand Rapids and Detroit
as well.
She has made arrangements with
Prof. J. A. C. klildner, of the German
department, so that all students who
may wish to spend t wo or three days'
as guests of Americans in American
homes can communicate 'with h m.
This arrangement is also planned to
include women.

Modern Theatre Needs Spirit
Of Make-Believe, Says Walker
"What the modern theater needs
more than anything else is that spirit
of play-of make-believe," says Stuart
Walker, whose repertory of Portman-
teau plays- will be presented at 4 and
8:15 o'clock Tuesday In Hill audito-
rium as two of the numbers on this
year's Oratorical lecture courses pro-
gram.
Mr. Walker is of the opinion that a
great majority of the people of today
have lost sight of this. He says, "The
trouble is that people havd come to
depend upon the stage manager to do
for them what they should do for
themselves. They do not exercise
their powers of imagination sufficient-
ly.
Aims at ;spirit of Play
"Now what I have tried to do with
my theater," continues Mr. Walker,
"is to bring back the spirit of play.

think about it, for all the great menI

Two general European quarrels
have been fought since 1776. The
first were the Napoleonic wars. The
United States tried desperately to re-
main neutral, and finally got in-on
the wrong side. This nation sided
with Napoleon againstvEngland in
1812 when Napoleomn went down to
I s defeat. In 1914 came another
great European conflict. Did the Un-
ited State remain aloof? In 1917 it
was in it, and Armistice day is to
memorialize that participation in the
sixth great European war in which
Americans have been called upon to
shed their blood and expend their
treasure.
