More than 400 Freshmen filled the
main' assembly hall of the Union to
capacity last night at a banquet and
meeting of the class in preparation
for the spring games. Theobject of
the meeting was to instill a sense of
class unity into the first year men
and to give them an opportunity to
hear the advice of several upper
classmen regarding the approaching
games.
The banquet was sponsored by the
Union underclass department under
William L. Diener, '26 and the social
committee of the class headed by
Thomas C. Winter, '28.
The Union orchestra supplied
music during the dinner, at the close
of which toastmaster Thomas Winter,
'28, opened the meeting. The first
speaker was Thomas Cavanaugh,
'27L, president of the Union, who
made a number of announcements
regarding the various events occur-
ing between now and commencement
time.
Janies K. Miller, '25, spoke next, on
behalf of the Student Council, giving
a number of his own experiences
when he captained the Freshmen at
the games in 1921and explaining theI
Manner in which the different events
of the games will be conducted this
year. Charles Johnson, '28, captain
of the freshmen at the fall games
spoke next, urging all members of the
class to participate in the. events.
Burton Hyde, '25M gave several
solos on the xylophone.
Henry Grinnell, '28, president of
the Freshman literary class made a
number of announcements to his
classmen. Horace C. Lownsberry,
'28, speaking as representative of the
class as a whole, talked on "Individ-
ual Responsibilities," exhorting the
yearlings to remember their individ-
ual part in the games. The Varsity
quartet sang several numbers. f
The principal speaker of the even-
ing was Prof. Thomas H. Reed of the
Political Science department. Pro-
fessor Reed related several stories of
his freshman days at Harvard. He
stressed the necessity of everyone
taking an active part in the games,
saying that loyalty to the class in
events such as this breeds loyalty to
the University, to the state and the
nation.
William Diener, '26, closed the
meeting with a short talk, thanking
the men for their cooperation with
the Union underclass department
during the year and summing up
briefly the work accomplished by the
class.
Fred Lawton, '11, author of Varsity,
who was scheduled to speak, was
unable to attend the meeting due to
illness.

Morrison and Osborn will represent

$1,300,000 for a museum and land and
the Senate added $500,000 for an
architectural building and site. The
House this afternoon passed Senator1
Penney's bill increasing the annualj
mill tax appropriation for the Uni-
versity to $3,500,000. Indications
were that this measure also will go
to the conference as the Senate prev-
iously passed it giving the University
$3,700,000 next year and $3,800,000
the following year. The present law
limits the mill tax appropriation to
$3,000,000 a year. Representative
Charles Sink told the House that he
thought $3,500,000 would not be
enough and suggested the bill prob-
ably will be sent to a conference
committee.
The House refused to cancel a loan
granted to the Michigan Agricultural
college iy the 1923 assembly. The
college was advanced $160,000 to
build a stadium, with the understand-
ing it would be paid back in 10 years.
Senator Pearson introduced a bill
and secured its passage in the Sen-
ate, providing for the cancellation of
the debt. The House killed the bill.

PERSIA MAY OBJECT
Geneva., April 30.-Any attempt at
the coming international conference
on the control of the trade in arms
and ammunition to define extensive
zones where the importation is pro-
hibited or greatly restricted, promises
to bring a clash with Ethiopia. This
country has sent a strong note to the
League of Nations upholding her
need of arms to protect herself and
maintain order, and in any case the
Ethopian government demands the
right to air its views before the
League council
This is one of the most delicate
problems the conference will have
before it, for Persia also is likely to
protest if anything approaching the
terms of the St. Germaine convention
is passed. The St. Germaine treaty,
which the United States rejected, pro-
posed that arms be admitted only un-
der license into the greater part of
Africa, Trans-causasio, Persia, the
Arabian peninsula and European
Turkey as constituted before the war.

SERENADE DATE SET
At a brief business meeting of the
Varsity Glee Club held last night at
the Union, the club organized itself
for the coming year and later turned
to discuss the Spring Serenade andy
the other appearances which it will
make within the next few weeks. Offi-
cers for the year were elected, and
it was announced that the Board in
Control had chosen Kurt J. Krem-s
lick, '26, to succeed Carl Schoon-
macher. '25, as manager of the club.
Kremlick, who began his work for the
club as a sophomore, has held the po-
sition of assistant manager during
the past year. After the meeting
last night he left for the Third Bi-
ennial Intercollegiate Conference on
Student Activities which is being held
May 1 and 2 at Cornell university;
Kremlick represents musical organ-
izations of the University at this con-
ference.
D. Neil Reid, '26, was re-elected
president of the club last night, while
Lucian Lane, '26, was chosen as the
club member to act on the Board in
Control; John W. Bean, grad., was re-
tained as secretary for another year,
and Otto C. Koch, '27, was elected
as librarian.
After the elections, Mr. Theodore
Harrison of the School of Music, who
returned this year to Michigan in or-
der to direct the Glee Club once more,
gave a talk, thanking the mten for
their cooperation during the year,
and incidentally mentioning that this
organization was the best with -which
he had ever worked.
A date was set for the Spring Sere-
nade. Next Tuesday, May 5, the club
will make the rounds of the sororl-
ties and league houses on the campus,
serenading each group of girls with a
few selections, according to an old
custom on the canpus.
It was also announced that the
club would sing one or two numbers
at Swing Out, which will be held
next Thursday in Hill auditorium.
The program will be 'announced later.
Since the band concert which was
planned for last night had to be
called off on account of rain, the
Freshman Glee Club will make its
campus debut at the concert next
Wednesday night.

Washington, April 30.-A plan to
put the American Merchant Fleet "on
a fighting basis with foreign compe-
tition" by paying a monthly wage
bonus to American sailors out of the
Treasury, was announced yesterday
by Chairman T. V. O'Connor of the
Shipping Board after a conference
with President Coolidge.
Mr. O'Connor said he would urge it
upon Congress as the major part of
a program for building up the mer-
chant marine. The statement was said
to have been made with the knowl-
edge of President Coolidge, but it was
not indicated whether the views rep-
resented those of the Chief Executive.
"I favor legislation," Mr. O'Connor
said, "which will provide for the es-
tablishment of a merchant marine
reserve whereby the Government
would pay to American seamen en-
listed in the reserve, and who serve on
American vessels, a monthly retainer.
This retainer, %esides insuring
Americans on American vesels, will
act as an aid to American ship own-
ers by absorbing the wage differen-
tial between American and foreign
wages, and this will tend to promote
the transfer of the Government es-
sels to private hands for operation.
Mr. O'Connor made known his pur-
pose just as soon as the Shipping
Board had concluded the largest
single sale of ships it has ever made
that of the five president-type pass-
enger-cargo vessels of the California-
Orient line to the Dollar interest.
The total payment involved is $6,-
625,000, which covers the ships, ser-
vice and tra 1 of the line with
a guarantee Sels Inust be
maintained on the route for five
years.
Mr. O'Connor suggested a maxi-
mum of 15,000 reservists and said
that expenditure of less, than $2,000,-
000 by the Treasury would be re-
quired for the first year, and "not
more than $6,000,00.0, approximately,
would be needed to maintain this re-
serve when the maximum number of
vessels are in private hands.

Berlin, April 30-President-elect
Von Hindenburg has let it be known
that he is opposed to all pomp and
demonstrative military display in
connection with his forthcoming in-
auguration, and even prefers to dis-
pense with his prerogative as com-
mander-in-chief of the German army
on this occasion. This is taken to
mean that he will insist on taking the
oath of office in civilian dress in the
setting provided by the federal lcdn-
stitution, which prescribes a brief
formula for the oath in the presence
of the assembled Reichstag.
While the soldier-president may
court polite, even decorous conduct
on the part of the bourgeois and so-
cialist parties when he appears in
the plenary session, it is freely as-
sumed that the communists will use
the occasion for a display of rough
tactics and that the ceremony may
develop into something of a political

SENIOR BALL AVAILABLE
Practically 200 additional applica-
