As a mark of apprecia- tion for the whole hearted support given to the project the Student coun- cil wishes to take this opportunity to, publicly thank these men for the fi-1 nancial assistance which will make] possible the appearance of the Var- sity band on the field at Urbana on1 October 18." The above resolution was passed by the Student council at their regu- lar meeting held at 7:30 o'clock last night in their offices at the Union. The matter of decorations for the Illinois game was discussed and de- finite action will be taken today. It is hoped that conditions will warrant the formation of a large block "M" at the Illinois contest. The present system of ticket distri- bution used by the Athletic associa- tion was considered by the council. A survey of the method of ticket dis- tribution at other universities will be made and the council will then draft! a resolution outlining a new system calculated to smooth over many of the difficulties created by the system used at Michigan this year. The res- olution will be presented to the Ath- letic association in the belief that the student body demands a change in the present system of distribution., Charles Merriam, '25E, chairman'of the cheerleading squad reported that the squad has been cut to six men and' that these men are at present busy practicing new yells and new formations for the opening confer- ence game with Illinois. Robert J. Hummer, '25, reported that tho. sub-committee of the Stu- dent council will be chosen in the near future.

MacDonald further stated that the government knew that the issue would arise soon and took the opportunity of getting a vote of confidence on this relatively unimportant amendment rather than on the Russian treaty which would have been a major issue in the election. It is probable that the Prime Minister already has an agree- ment with the king to dissolve Parlia- ment and will set the election dat6 some time late in November. "The election this time will go hard with the Liberal party for a two-party government in England will come ance of power they would probably lose many of their seats. When asked why the government did not resign after the vote of lack of confidence, as is usual, MacDonald declared that in that case the king would immediately call Stanley Bald- win, Conservative leader to the Prime Ministership and it would be almost a foregone fact that he would be de- feated on the first measures it brought up. MacDonald, when told by the re- porter of the fall of his father's ad- ministration, appeared very calm and read the story that was handed to him with scarcely any emotion. i SIMON AMENDMENT FOR LACK OF CONFIDENCE PASSED io4-198 CRISIS IS NEAR BURSLEY SPEAKS Robert Falconer Will Speak Here Washington Day Sir Robert Falconer, president of Toronto university, was yesterday an- nounced as the speaker at the Wash- ington day convocation by President Marion L.

TICKETS CO ON SALE -TODAY Reservations Available at Union; Lansing Special Leaves At 8 Saturday ROUND TRIP FARE $3.38 Scott Returns From Trip In Southern Europe And Egypt DEBATE QUES h Spent Six Work Months Doing Research in British Museum Library Prof. F. N. Scott of the rhetoric department has returned to the Uni-I versity after a leave of absence of one year. During the year he travel- ed extensively in the countries bor- dering the Mediterranean and in Europe. He visited many places of particular interest, met many note- worthy men, and did research work in London. While in Egypt Professor Scott went down the Nile to Luxor and Assuan. At the former he visited the Valley of the Kings where is lo- cated King Tutankhamen's tomb. He was taken ill while at Cairo with an unknown disease which is claimed by the Egyptians, he says, to be the fates taking revenge on those who' visited the tombs. From Egypt his travels went into{ Sicily and Italy. Naples, Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan were -also1 included in his itinerary. After visiting Switzerland Profes- sor Scott went to France. He spent some time in the Riviera and in Paris. It was his good fortune to attend a political ward meeting of Left in1 Paris. This group is made up of'per- sons with semi-socialistic views. j Six months of Professor Scott's time was spent doing research work in the library of the British museum. This work was in preparation for a book on "English Usage" which he plans to write. At Oxford he was present when Masefield's verse speaking contestj was in progress. Five hundred twelve persons were entered in this from all parts of England and her possessions. A Scotch girl won the prize. The Prince spoke at the Wembly exhibition when Professor Scott was there and hehalso heard Winston Churchill at this time. Among other people of note whom he met wereI Edmund Gosse, Bernard Shaw, Wil- liam Archer, John Buchan.,.d" John Galsworthy. Professor Scott's ship, the Acqui- tania, ran into the edge of the re- cent hurricane, and it was only after a very rough voyage that she reach- ed New York on August 6. Present Government In Power Short Time Following Defeat of Conservatives London, October 8. (By A. P.)-The Simon amendment was adopted 364- 198. This means that the government will ask the king to dissolve parlia- ment. The vote was taken after several days debate on a Liberal amendment added to a Conservative motion asking a vote of censure in connection with the government's withdrawal of sedition charges against the editor of a Communist paperi. The labor government of Ramsey MacDonald came into power in Great Britain in January of the present year, when the Conservative ministry of Stanley Baldwin, which had been at the helm only a few months,, was dismissed by the House of Commons, with a vote of lack of confidence be- cause of its expousal of protection. The defeat of the Baldwin adminis- tration was the culmination of a Laborite amendment to the reply to the King's speech from the throne. [ The amendment declared that it was the duty of the House "respectfully to submit to your Majesty that your Majesty's present advisors have not the confidence of the House." The amendment was introduced by John'j R. Clynes present lord privy seal, then deputy leader of the Parlia- mentary Labor party. It was adopted by a vote of 328-250 after Mr. Mac- Donald had moved closure on the de- bate. At the time of MacDonald's assump- tion of power at the request of King1 George it was believed that at any time by coalition of their votes the Liberals and the Conservatives coulda overthrow him on a question of highj import, for in the general election ofc Deember 1923 the conservatives had I 259 and the Liberals 159 seats while the Laborites had only 191. Iiir'vrinril Tfl nu'npirer Professor Carver Appeals for Clean Athletics; Uses Cross Country Running as Example Freshmen of all clases were given their first formal introduction to the traditions of the University at the Traditions' Day exercises held yes- terday afternoon in Hill auditorium. Lyman Glasgow, '25, opened the program by leading the yearlings in several Michigan yells. The words for "The Victors" were projected on the screen for the benefit of the new students and Glasgow led the sing- ing of Michigan's renowned song. Alfred J. Connable, president of the Student council then addressed the gathering on the subject of Michi- gan's traditions. Connable traced the growth of customs at the University and the inpeitance of the freshmen abiding L:y them. He also called the attention of the freshmen to the fact that for the first time a discipline body would be chosen from within the ranks of the freshmen class. Con- nable laid emphasis upon the impor- tance of this committee and stated his belief that the class of '28 was capable of handling any infringe- ments of the traditions through the use of such a committee. He also made a plea that the freshmen electl a capable man as president of the class.' Dean J. A. Bursley, the next speak-: er on the program, gave the fresh- men valuable advice upon certain as- pects of life at the University. This was the first opportunity that the freshmen have had to become ac- quainted with Dean Bursley. Prof. H. C. Carver of the mathe- matics department spoke on the sub- ject of "Clean Athletics." He took cross country running as an example, and- requested that as, many fresh-' men as possible should go out for) the freshmen cross country team. As' a special inducement Prof. Carver se- cured from Dr. George A. May, di-i Railroad tickets for both the M. A.
