To Discuss Prless Wire
It is expected that the discussion ofI
a conference press 'wire will be one of]
the most important features of the
convention. Discussion of athletic rul-;
ings and other inter-collegiate affairs 
will probably also be held. The busi-
ness managers will discuss methods of
conducting advertising campaigns and
general business problems.
The meetings of the convention Will 
probably be conducted by a chairman'
as the association is technically with-
out a head at the present time. This
is due to the fact that the convention
which regularly should have been held
last May at Northwestern university
was cancelled on account of a fatal
hazing case there.

Dancing Features Newest Of
MichiganUnion Productions

With the grace and charm of a Foll-
ies girl, Lienel E. Ames, '24, as Suz-
anne, danced "her" way through "Cot-
ton Stockings," this year's Union Op-
era, at the Whitney last night.
Ames leaves little to be desired in
any way, and makes an excellent danc-
er for the choruses which he leads.
But Ames is far from being alone in
ability to dance. In fact, it is . the
dancing of the entire cast and chorus
which goes to make "Cotton Stock-
ings" the success that it is.
Throughout the play the audience is
thrilled by the different styles of Terp-
sichore which are achieved. All of
the dance numbers are fine but some
of them are outstanding in their
quaintness and oddity. Foremost
among these is the "Waltz" which
opensgthe second act. This includes
two parts, the first, by eight men, ex-

hibiting the present tendencies of
jazz dancing, with the other, led by
Ames, of Spanish character. The odd-
ity of both numbers makes them keenly
appreciated.
Another which was thoroughly en-
joyed was the Russian dance, which
was greatly enhanced by the costumes
worn by the four men who took part
in the number.
"Sleigh Bells" and the Clown dance
are also worthy of more than passing
mention, both attracting by their*
uniqueness, which was increased in
the former by unusual lighting effects.
George Hoffman, '24, and Howard
Welch, '24, presented an exceptional
dance called the "Fastastique." Both
men are graceful, with recognized
ability and exhibited perfect tempo in
their novelty number.

PRESIDENT SHAW TO MAKE
INVESTIGATION OF AFFAIRJ
Lansing, Dec. 5.-(ByA.P.)-The re-
signations of two members of the
Michigan Aggie football team, offered 1
in protest against the expulsion fromi
their college society of Maurice Tay-
lor, captain of the team, and Richard
DeMerell, were accepted by the Hes-
perian society today. They were Roll-
ie Richards, quarterback and H. A.
Robinson, end. Eight other members
have tendered their resignations, but
they have not so far, been accepted.
Taylor and DeMerell were charged
by members of the society with hav-
ing broken up a college dancing party'
last week. It was alleged that they
were intoxicated and brought liquor
to the affair, offering it to students.
They refused to leave. it was claimed,
and the orchestra had to be sent away
and the hall darkened an hour before
the party was scheduled to close.
R. S. Shaw, president of M. A. C.,
announced today that he will under-
take a personal investigation of the
affair. It was rumored that some
students might be expelled or sus-
pended from the college.

ELIMINATED IN BALLOT
Washington, Dec. 5.-The victory of
President Coolidge in the South Dak-
ota proposal convention resulted to-
day in bringing near a definite indi-
cation of the President's position as
to the 1924 Presidential campaign.
Whitehouse officials said that prob-
ably within a day or two acknowled-
gement would be made of the conven-
tion's action and this is expected to
go a long way toward disclosing Mr.
Coolidge's politicalplan.
Action Not Final
That the convention's action is not
final, in as much as the South Dak-
ota delegation at the 1924 national4
convention is subject to choice in the
state primary March 25, was said to
be realized by Mr Coolidge's rfiends,
but they pointed to the convention
endorsement as significant of repub-
lican sentiment in South Dakota as to
the record thus far made by Mr.
Coolidge.

ACTION GOES BEFORE
REGENTS IN DECEMBER
Ruling to Take Effect in i'ebruary
192 if Accepted; Frayer
Gives Report
Requirements for graduation will
become more stringent if the action
taken by the faculty of the literary
college at its regular monthly meet-
ing in the lecture room of the general
library is accepted by the Board of
Regents at its December meeting
The first section of the require-
ments for graduation from the liter-
ary college was restated to read as
follows: "The degree of Bachelor of;
Arts is conferred upon students who;
have earned 120 hours of credit or
more together with at least as many
points as hours." The new ruling
will take effect with those who grad-
uate in February 1925 and thereafter.
The requirement which is now in
effect necessitates only that the stu-
dent earn 120 points, no matter how
many hours work he has completed
during his college course. According
to Dr. A. G. Hall, registrar of thej
University this means that a student
may complete his work with less than
a C average if he takes more than the
requirednumber of hours. With the
adoption of the new rule no student
will be graduated from the literary
college unless he has at least a C av-
erage in all his work.
Prof. W. A. Frayer of the history I
department gave a report of the work I
of the committee from the faculty
which has been working for the past
two years investigating junior coll-
eges in Michigan. Other general mat-
ters of routine business were brought
up for consid-3ration at the meeting.
B asiig Wcrk
Causes Inquiry
Blasts which have rocked Ann Ar-
bor for two days were located yester-
day afternoon after a number of people
had phoned, inquiring anxiously what
was meant by the bomb-like reports.i
On the corner of South and East Uni-
versity avenues just north of the
model high school a number of large
cement foundations stand a foot or so
above the ground level. Blasters have
been at work for more than 48 hours
attempting to remove this concrete.
On account of the proximity of the
high school and residences only a
small charge can be used. The two
assistants chip holes into the founda-
tion after which the blaster cuts the
desired amount of explosive from a 10
inch stick of dynamite and fastens to
it a six inch copper tipped fuse. This
is lighted and in about 40 esconds the
intonation follows. The average
amount of concrete displaced by these
explosions is less than three cubic
feet.
On account of the small charges
used, it was estimated that the work
will require several more days at least.

President Coolidge Will Address
Congrss in Person
Today
Washington, Dec. 5.-(By A. PJ-
The Sixty-eighth congress was organ-
ized today with the breaking of the
two dty deadlock in the House over
the speakership, and it will receive
President Coolidge's first annual mes-
sage tomorrow.
The President will address congress
in person at 12-30 o'clock at a joint
session in the House chamber.
Although congress is now ready to
function little can be done in the way
of legisl.tior until afte the Cnristmas
holidays. Committees in both the
House and Senate have yet to be or-.
ganized, and they must pass on all
important measures before there can
be action by either house.
The break leading to the reelection
of Speaker Gillette on the first ballot
today came after republican insur-
gents had satisfied themselves that
there would be opportunity next
month to offer amendments to House
rules. Given this assurance on the
floor by Representative Ltlngworth,
of Ohio, the Republican leader, the
group which for eight ballots had sup-
ported either Representative CooperI
of Wisconsin, or Madden, of Illinois,.
changed almost solidly to Gillette giv-
ing him a majority of eight votes.
The result showed: Gillette, 215;
Garrett, democrat, 197; Madden, Re-
publican, 2,
The senate meeting at noon again
was unable to function pending or-
ganization of the House, and remained
in session just two minutes.
Before adjourning the House re-
elected its regular officers, adopted the
joint resolution providing for notifica-
tion of the president -that congress
was ready to receive communication
from him and a resolution under
which the rules in force in the Sixty-
.eventh congress shall govern it until
January 14.1
ANNAPOLIS HEAD AGREES
Annapolis, Dec. 5.-Rear Admiral
Wilson, superintendent of the Naval
Academy, today gave his assent to
the trip by the middy grid men to
Pasadena, New Year's day for a post
season game with the University of
Washington.
The itinerary for the trip which
was - mapped out several weeks ago
will stand. This calls for a jaunt
i across the continent via the Balti-
more and Ohio to Chicago, returning
over the Sante Fe syste to New
Orleans and Washington. The grid-
iron warriors will have nearly a day
in Chicago and will also visit the
Grand Canyon.
The entire journey will consume
about two weeks. The pa'ty will
leave Annapolis Christmas day and
is due at Pasadena, December 30.
Leaving Pasadena, Jan. 2 they will ar-
rive at Annapolis five days later.

Nation Will Hear
President Speak
Washington, Dec. 5.-(By A. P.)-
The voice of President Coolidge, ad-
dressing congress tomorrow will be
carried over a greater portion of the
IUnited States, and will be heard by
more people than the voice of any man
in history.
Arrangements were completed to-
night for broadcasting the president's
address as delivered in the chamber of
the House of Representatives through
six powerful radio stations and it is
expected by the engineers in charge
that fully a million people will hear
Mr. Coolidge speak. The broadcasting
will begin at 12 o'clock noon, eastern
standard time, when the House meets
and, priorato the appearance of the
President at about 12 :30 o'clock, the
time will be taken up by an expert
announcer who will describe the as-
sembling of the Senate and House in
joint session, the appearance of thel
galleries and the various formalities
incident to the president's appearance.
