NECESSARY I N 1928

versty Near East
Expedition
Reguirements for admission into
the Law school of the University were
radically increased when the Board of
Regents at their concluding session
yesterday morning voted to make a
three-year preparatory college course
beginning in the fall of 1926 a prere-
quitise for entrance. The Regents'
resolution provides further that grad-
uation from college will be required
of all who enter the Law school begin-
ning whith the academic year 1928.
This drastic revision of the regl-
ation governing admission, was made
in response to the unanimous request
of the Law school faculty and in con-
formity 'with the growing tendency to
an increasingly thorough preparation
for all professional work. In common
with most state universities, Michigan
now demands a two-year preliminary
literary course, but the Regents' de-
cree places Michigan on the same
footing with Harvard, Pennsylvania,
Columbia, Yale, Chicago and Leland
Stanford all of which institutions re-
quire three or four years of prepar-
tiosn. The entire movement has been
sponsored by the American Bar associ-
ation in an effort to elevate the stan-
dards of the legal profession.
Grant Trueblood LIeave
Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood of the
public speaking department was
granted a leave of absence beginning
Feb. 9 and extending to the end of
the spring recess in April. Capt.
George W. Dunn of the reserve offi-
ce®r'.training orps was appointed:
a ciate profesor of military science
and tactics. Mr. Frank J. Connors of
Buffalo, N. Y. was named instructor
In mechanics and drawing for the
isecrnid ideiestot and" Mr. Ilralhlt C.
Cutting was made an instructor in
chemical engineering.
The Regents gratefully acknowledg-
ed the gift, of an automobile from Mr.
anl Mrs. Howard Bloomer of De-
troit and a truck from the Graham
Truck Co. Both vehicles will be used
by the University Near East expedi-
!;on which will leave this country
some time this springunder the lead-
ership of Prof. Francis W. Kelsey of
the Latin department. Professor
Kelsey was granted a leave of ab-
sence for the second semester of the
current academic year and for the
entire year 1924-1925, in order that
he may pursue his researches.
Invite Physicist Here
Dr. Paschen, the famous physicist
of the University of Tubingen, Ger-
many, was invited by the Regents to
give a series of lectures here and al-
so to consult with the University
phybl;cs staff upon various research
problems.
The Regents gave approval to plans
which have been made to retain Elien
Saarinen, the distinguished Swedish
architect, for an additionaltseries of
lectures in the University. Final
plans for the honors convocation to
be held in May to lonor students who
have won intellectual distinction was
approved by the board.

Outlines Courses!
Dean Raymond outlined the courses
of instruction at Iowa,- and told of
the plan to increase the length of the
engineering course at that place to
five years. The matter is now in the
hands of the directors of the univer-
sity, and no change can be made un-
til they reach a decision, Dean Ray-I
Mond said.
Dean H. J. Hughes of the Harvard
Engineering school spoke of the four!
and five year systems which are em-,
ployed at that institution, the five
year course including some work in,
the regular college.
Dean M. E. Cooley of the Colleges
of Engineering and Architecture ex-'
plained the Michigan system of en-
gineering education, and spoke of the
affiliation system which is used in
connection with smaller technicalI
schools and colleges throughout the
state. - - /
Tells of Columbia Plan
Dean G. B. Pegram of Columbia un-
iversity outlined the Columbia plan,
stressing particularly the usefulness
of the combined curriculum in de-4
termi ning the fitness of the student to
be an engineer before he has gone.
too far with the work to warrant him
turning back. This plan calls for
three years of a regular arts course
including certain prescribed courses,
followed by three years of engineer -
ing. The student receives the degree
of Bachelor of Arts at the conclusion
of his first engineering year, and the
degree of Bachelor of Science at the
end of his third year of engineering.
Dean E. J. McCaustland of the Uni-
versity of Missouri told of the simi-
lar plan which is in force at that1
school, the only difference being that
the arts course is limited to two years'
instead of three.
In the absence of President A. C.
Humphreys of Stevens Institute, the
presiding officer read a letter from
him which advocated the single en-
gineering course, and opposed the five
year curriculum as being inclined
toward over development of the -the-
oretical side of the study.
Following the meeting, and a din-
ner at the Union, the Deans attendedj
the Chaliapin concert in Hill aud-
torium and later a smoker given in
their honor at the University club.
The program for today includes two
general meetings and a reception at
the Union to be followed by a ban-
quet there.

Yesterday morning from 9 to 10:30
o'clock members of the committee
met with representatives of the Deans
conference. There are men engaged
in the same form of endeavor attend-
ing both conferences, and a general
discussion of subjects of mutual con-
(ern was thought to be beneficial to
both committees.
Committee Convenes
At 10:30 o'clock the railroad com-
mittee convened for its final meeting.'
A general resume of the topics
brought up for discussion at the meet-
ings Thursday, consumed a majority
of the time up until 12:15. The prob-
lems discussed included the matter
of stimulating a greater interest on
the part of railroads in assisting the
universities to develop the best possi-
ble methods for technical courses.
This subject was introduced by Mr.
W. B. Storey, president of the Atkin-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe railway. A
second topic which was brought to a
head was one introduced by Mr. H.
R. -Stafford, vice president of the Chi-
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad,
the bringing to the universities the
results of the executives' delibera-
tions.
The subject introduced Thursday by
Mr. W. C. Cushing, engineer of stand-
ards of the Pennsylvania system, a
better means of bringing to the rail-
roads the benefit of technical educa-
tion was boiled down in order to give;
it a feasible working basis. The prob-
lem of stimulating interest in trans-
portation among the general public
and students which Prof. I1. E. Riggs
of the civil engineering department
sponsored, was again discussed and
an attempt to outline the best mode
of procedure was made.

the docket for Thursday and which
Dean M. S. Ketchum, of Illinois, Brig.
Gen. C. H. Mitchell of the University
of Applied Science of Toronto and
Mr. E. T. Howson, western editor of
the Railway Age brought forward
were given conisderation and brought
into summarized form. Plans for fu-
ture work of the committee and the
drawing up of a report for the Amer-
ican Engineering Association com-
prised the remainder of the business.
Representatives from the National
Industrial conference board and from
the American Society of Mechanical
engineers sat in at the morning meet-
ing yesterday. Mr. W. E. Wickenden
was also present and heard the sum-
marizing of the topics.
When asked concerning the success
of the conference, Prof. Riggs stated,
"Unquestionably, both elements com-
posing the committee benefited. B
covering the ground as we did, a
clearer idea of the problems and
needs of each faction was obtained.
Although no definite policies were ad-
vanced, matters have so formed them-
selves that we will be able to proceed

intelligence in view of future needs."

Albert Bacon Fall1
Albert Fall is in Washington today.-
He has been subpoenaed to appear be-

-THIRD COLD WAV
Three And a Half Inches of Snow Is'
Accompanied by 25.6
Degrees Drop
WEATHERMAN PREDICTS 10
DEGREES BELOW ZERO HERE1
Three and one-half inches of snow,
borne on a 27 mile west wind, to-
gether with a mercury drop of 25.61
degrees for the period between 'the
hours of seven and seven yesterday,
announced the arrival of the third
trans-continental cold wave now sev-
eral days overdue in Ann Arbor. The1
snowfall was the heaviest of the cur-i
rent winter. According to the rec-
ords, there should at present be five£
and one-half inches of snow on the1
ground, two inches having laid on the '
ground for some days.
The consistent and rapid descent of
the mercury yesterday causes obser-
vatory officials to believe that the1
local temperature will decline to zero
and possibly lower.

Washington, Jan. 25.-(By AP)-
Simulataneously with the disclosure
today in the senate oil inquiry of an-
other unpaid loan to former interior
secretary Fall the white house made
known that President Coolidge is pre-
paring to take every action to protect
the public interest and ' to punish
those guilty of any wrong doing.
Before the same committee which
E. L. Dohney, California oil magnate,
told yesterday he had loaned Mr. Fall
$100,000 on his personal note 'while
he was secretary of the interior, J. W.
Sevely,'personal counsel to Harry F.
S'nclair, testified that Mr. Sinclair
had loaned Mr. Fall $25,000 in liberty
bonds on a personal note three
months after he retired from the cab-
inet.
Loan Made Before Lease
As the testimony now stands, the
Dohney loan was made more than a
year before the, Dohney interest ob-
tained the lease of the Elk Hills,
California naval reserve, while the
Sinclair loan was made more than a
year after the Sinclair interests re-
ceived the lease of the Teapot Dome
Wyoming, reserves.
Developments in the senate in-
quiry were discussed today by the
cabinet. Afterwards the President
was represented officially as regard-
ing some of the testimony to point to
criminal action. The executive is re-
luctant ,to believe that any one has
been guilty of any criminal intent,
but he feels that the evidence already
produced requires explanation and in-
vestigation.
In the Presidents view two ques-
tions are indicated. One, and the
more important, is to bring to jus-
tice any one who has dealt with the
situation in any way that. is in vio-
lation of the criminal laws. The
other is to see whether the govern-
ment has suffered any injury by rea-
son of the oil reserve leases. If the
leases do not seem proper, action
Slooking to their annulment will be
taken.

ther effort to clear up testimony re-

the inquiry.
But the committee will be divert-
ed only temporarily from the' $106.-

be asked next Monday to explain these
and others of his financial trans-
actions. While Mr. Sevely was tell-

SENIORS ASKED TO FILL.
OUT VOCTIONAL BLAKS
Seniors in the literary college will
be asked to fill out blanks for the use
of the vocational guidance committee
.at the time when they register for
the second semester. This .committee
was recently appointed by the presi-
dent, at the request of the deans, toi
consider the desirability of developing
more systematic vocational guidance
and placement work here at the Uni-
versity.
One of the committee's first tasks
is to ascertain the facts about the
vocational guidance and placement on
the campus at the present time. It
is thought that this data can best be
obtained by circulating these blanks
among the seniors. In some cases a
personal interview will be sought.
