At a meeting yesterday, the Archi-

college set Friday, May 7, as the defi-
nite date for its annual May party. As
in former years, the party will be a
costume ball and will be held in Bar-
bour gymnasium.
At the same meeting a program for
the decoration design contest was
drawn up. The committee this year
has selected no particular period or
style to which the designs must con-
form but has left that to the judgment
of the competitor. It is expected that
due to this move more original and
beautiful designs will be entered. The
object this year is to get a background
into which any costume will fit so that
any color or style of costume may be
worn.
The competition which is open only
to architectural or decorative design
students will end Jan. 8. A committee
of judges will be selected from the
faculty and the society, who will se-
lect the best of the designs entered.
The prize offered for the winner is a
ticket to the ball and an etching by
Samuel Chamberlain, who is teaching
in the college for the current year.

AUTHORITIES DISAGREE GIVEN CHOICE OF AIDS
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, Dec. 11.-The discoveries
made in the Hoggar country of the
Central Sahara by Count .Byron Kun
de Prorok and his de Prorok-Beloit
expedition came before the Academy
of Inscriptions of the French Institute
today and aroused more interest
among the members of that body than
the schedule election of a new mem-!
ber of the academy.
Prof. Stephane Gsell of the College.
of France, an authority cn North Afri-
can archaeology, read his report on
the discovery of the tomb which
Count de Prorok believes is that of
Tin Hanan, the legendary ancestress
of the kings of the Tuaregs, the
strange white 'race of the centralJ
Sahara.
The discussion showed a division
of opinion among the scientists .as to
the antiquity of Tin Hanan's tomb al-
though all agreed on Its importance I
to archaeology. Solomon Reinach,
conservator of the national museum
of St. Germain, called it the "greatest'
discovery and richest tomb ever,
found in North Africa outside Egypt."
He placed the date of the tomb about
500 B.C. The Abbe Chabot, noted
orientologist, however, said it dated
from about the time of Christ.
M. Gsell, who said he had been mis-
quoted by French and American news-
papers, asserted the tomb would not
have been made earlier than 1,000 B.
C., because of the iron objects found
in it, but said he thought it more like-
ly it dated from the ninth or tenth
century of the Christian era. Dis-
patches from Paris quoted M. Gsell as
saying that Tin Tanan lived in the
15th or 16th century of our era.

'Tambourine' Nears
Broadway Calibre!
"Tambourine" is a musical show ap-
proaching Broadway calibre, rich in
that joyousness of execution that
should characterize an amateur pro-

liams, holder of the Fellowship in
Creative Arts, following last night's
performance of the Union Opera.
"The opera compares very favorably
with recent Broadway productions,
differing happily however, in the ab-
scence of vulgarity," the playwright
said. Again referring to those shows

JEALOUSY HALTS MOVE
(By Associated Press) p
GENEVA, Dec. 11. - Emphasizing o
the importance of disarmament, now 1
being considered by a League of Na- t
tions commission, Viscount Cecil of
Chelwood, British statesman, told they
Associated Press that a future world
war almost certainly would destroy v
civilization.S
Viscount Cecil outlined the difficul-
ties besetting the attempts of the com- p
mission in solving the disarmament
problem. The commission is working f
on an agenda for an international dis- ,a
armament conference.A
The chief obstacle to disarmament r
was the desire for security, cause of
suspicions and jealousies of nations,
he said. Some amelioration in thisa
spirit had been brought about. i
"The more nations become in thea
habit of referring disputes to pacific
settlement," he said, "the less they t
will regard one another as potential e
enemies."
Recalling Lord Grey's statement thatf
the world must disarm of perish, Lord I
Cecil said:s
"A future world war almost certain-
ly would destroy civilization. That isd
why the peoples of Europe are de-s
manding so insistently. that their gov-
ernments should agree to a scheme of1
disarmament."s
Lord Cecil said the first factor mak- I
ing the outlook for disarmament a
brighter, was financial. Next came thef
obligations of the "allied and associ-
ated powers" in the Versailles treaty,
to further a general scheme of dis-
armament and their assurances to the
former enemies that their disarma-
ment was only the first step towardf
a general reform in that direction. Hel
emphasized this assurance was ex-
plicitly repeated at Locarno.
RGE REPEL OFLA
EXCILUING JAPANVESE,;
Council Of Churches Also Asks For
Demilitarization Of Chaplaincy
(By Associated Press)
DETROIT, Dec. 11.-Repeal of the
immigration law excluding Japanese
from the United States was urged ati
the closing meeting of the Federal
Council of Churches' executive com-
mittee today. A strong plea for thei
demilitarization of the chaplaincy also
was made.
The council acted affirmatively on
the report of the committee on good
will which asserted that the Japan-
ese had been "deeply wounded" by
America's immigration stand, and
asked that the council take some steps
toward expressing to Congress dis-
approval of the Japanese exclusion
and asking repeal of the law.
C. C. Morrison, editor of the Chris-
tian Century, Chicago, stirred discus-
sion with a plea that the Council of'
Churches take action toward demili-
tarization of the chaplaincy -ystem.
Such action, he said, would be "the
first step of the church to excommuni-
cate war."

OACH MATHER'S FIVE ENGAGES
EXPERIENCED SQUAD IN
SEASON'S OPENER
ANNOUNCE LINEUPS
luckeye's Strong Team Will Be Faced
By Doyle, Chambers, Harrigan,
Schroeder, and Cherry
By Joseph Kruger
Ohio Wesleyan's giant five will en-
-age Coach Mather's Wolverine quintet
at 7:30 o'clock tonight at the Yost
eld house in the opening encounter
of the season.
The Buckeye squad boasts five vet-
rans, all of whom are tall, strong
players, who made quite a reputation
on the court last season. Ohio Wes-
eyan possesses one of the strongest
eams in the Ohio conference each
year.
Coach Mather will start the contest
with Ed Chambers and Frank Harri-
gan at the forwards, Captain Dick
Doyle at center, and "Red" Cherry
nd Wayne Schroeder at the guard
ositions. Ha'rrngan and Schroeder,
he latter a sophomore, will play their
irst game of collegiate competition,
and upon their showing will depend
Michigan's strength in the Big Ten
race.
Chambers Is Veteran
Chambers, who played at forward
nd guard last season, has been play-
ing a fine brand of ball in practice
and should prove to be one of the
eading scorers in tonight's encon-
er . Harrigan is also a clever shot,
especially around the basket.
Schroeder possesses the ideal build
for the back guard position, but he
acks experience. Doyle and Cherry
should prove real stars this season.
Coach Mather's chief problem Is to
develop a strong defense as this
seems to be the team's chief weakness
at the present time. Offensively the
Varsity five has shown considerable
strength in scrimmage, and the Skip-
per has been holding defensive drills
all week in order to bolster up the de-
fensive power.
Football Men Will Play
Ohio Wesleyan will line up with
Hill and Lamme at the forwards,
Captain Turney at center and Har-
low and Campbell at the guards. The
first four mentioned were -all mem-
bers of the football team that held
Syracuse to a 3-3 tie this fall.
Captain Turner, the visitor's cen-
ter, is rated as one of the best play-
ers in the Ohio conference, and he
and Dick Doyle should engage in an
interesting duel.
Michigan will meet the University
of Pittsburgh five at the Yost field
house on Thursday night in the sec-
ond non-Conference game. Molenda,
who joined the squad yesterday, and
Oosterbaan, who is expected out on
Monday, will in all probability see ser-
vice against the "Smoky City" five.
