NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Agitation to
"combat a tendency to overemphasize
and professionalize" football may
take concrete form when the National
Collegiate Athletic association, repre-
sentative of colleges and universities
in all pa'rts of the country, holds its
20th annual conference here Dec. 30.
Listing the signing of co lege un-
dergraduates by professional football
teams and the banqueting of its all-
American eleven by the New York
Sun of examples of developments
which jeopardize the intercollegiate
.games, the association's executive pro-
posed five remedies to meet the exist-
ing situation.
Remedies Suggested
These remedies embodied in a tent-
ative resolution forwarded to the N. C.
A A. in an announcement signed by
Pres. Palmer E. Pierce, and Sec.
Fiank W. Nicholson, would combat
professionalism by first limiting pre-
season training; second, limiting thel
numbers of intercollegiate contests;
third, limiting the number of games
played in other than colleges stadia
fourth, abolishing the -so-called ath-;
letic schol'arships and improper pro-
selything; fifth, encouadaging intra-
mural games.
The resolution also would provide
that "educational institutions be fur-
ther recommended to refuse hereafter
to employ or continue in employment
any coach, trainer, rules official, or.
others who, in any capacity, give serv-
ice to or taid in the promotion of pro-
fessional football."
Drastic Steps Necessary
The resolution emphasizes the -need
for such drastic steps bn maintaining,
that "intercollegiate football has be-
come so popular and commercialized
so seriously as to affect the chief edu- E
cational purpose of colleges; that his-
tory and experience teach that health-
ful, recreation competitive sports die,
.when infiicted with professionalism;
that promoters of professionial foot-
ball have this fall for the first time
induced undergraduates to leave col-
lege and join their elevens; and that
the New York Sun on Dec. 5 banquet-
ed a group of prominent undergrad-
uate footbiall players and presented to
each of themr a present of such great
value that the acceptance of it as a
prize by a winning athlete would have
professionalized him."
PE LITTLE TO TALK
IN SAGINAW TOMORROW
President Clarence Cook Little will
be entertained by the combined civic
organizations of Saginaw at a banquet
and reception tomorrow night. He
will speak at the banquet on "Educa-
tion for Citizenship."
Music for the reception will be fur-
nished by the Varsity band, which will
take the trip to Saginaw in special
busses leaving here at 1 o'clock. Sup-
plementing the program of band num-
bers will be solos and novelties. Sev-
eral new numbers have been learned
by the band, including a band ar-
rangement of "Men of the Maize and
Blue," which will be given for the
first time at this concert.
Lawyers' Smoker
To Be Held Later
Because of the proximity of Christ-
mas vacation, and because of other
conditions making improbable a repre-
sentative attendance, the all-law
smoker to have been held tonight at
the Union has been postponed to a
time promising a larger audience,
'Within the first two weeks after re-
sumption of classes, it was announced

Professor Cross has made tentative
arrangements to have J. Franklin
Jameson, director of the department
of historical research of the Carnegie
Institute of Washington, D. C., appear
on the program. The fourth speaker
is to be announced in a few days, Prof.
Cross said.
Professor Fox has been with the
University of Toronto as professor of
history since 1894. He was educated
at University College, of Toronto, and
took orders in the Church of England
in 1833, but since tlat time has been
engaged in academic work. He is the
author of several books, among which
are "A History of the British Nation,"
"The Fall of Canada," and "Washing-
ton and His Companions in Arms."
Professor Cross will be the toast-
master at the banquet.

LECTURE ILLUSTRATEDI
Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley, interna-
tional authority on Central American
archeology, will speak on "The Greeks
of the New World" at 4:15 o'clock this
afternoon in Natural Science auditor-
ium. For many years Dr. Morley has
specialized in the hieroglyphic writing
of the Maya Indians of Guatemala and t
Yucatan, and has added considerable
to the world's knowledge of this coin-
plex subject. After receiving his M.
A. in archeology from Harvard in 1908,
he did field work for the School of
American Archeology, of the Archeo-.
logical Institute of America.
In 1915 he became associated with
the Carnegie Institution and has de-
voted the spring of each of the suc-
ceeding years to the exploration ofl
the tropical jungles of Central Amer-
ica in searchof Maya cities. In the
course of more than 15 years of such
explorations Dr. Morley has greatly
extended the list of known Maya cities.
In 1924 he was placed in charge of
the Carnegie Institute Chichen Itza
project, the purpose of which is to

Critic Believes Method Of Teaching
Shakespeare (reatly Improved
III Recent Years
REGRETS USE OF SLANG
"Progress in English drama has
greatly increased during the last
thirty years", Walter Pritchard Eaton,
famous drama critic, declared yester-
day afternoon in his lecture here.
Above all, the progress in Shakespeare
has been advanced, especially in the
manner in which it is presently taught,
according to Mr. Eaton.
Mr. Eaton explained the break in theI
types of writing comedies after the
time of Shakespeare. "Shakespearef
was an excellent writer," Mr. Eaton
stated, "because he wrote for all types
of London people. London theatres
were then attended by all classes of
people and the kind of audience de-I
termined the type of plays that were
presented. Thus Shakespeare wrote
in a language that was known and
understood by all people. It was such
a standard language and so free from
slang expressions of that time that his
plays have lasted for hundreds of
years and are still read and under-
stood.
'The reason for the short life of
modern dramas is that usually they!
are written on what might be called
a slang basis. The main feature of

Tracing the development of forestry
as a profession and pointing out thatI

work, Prof. H. H. Chapman of the
forestry school of Ygle university,
speaking on "The Necessity of a Pro-
fession of Forestry in America," open-
ed a series of University lectures on{
forestry yesterday afternoon in
Natural Science auditorium. Profes-
sor Chapman emphasized that the
duty of the forester was not only to
plant trees but to take care of them
scientifically, to organize public opin-
ion, and to protect them from the
danger of fires.
He stated that forestry has longI
been recognized as a profession in
Europe but that only recently has that
distinction been accorded it here. lie{
Illustrated the condition of timber
resources at the present time by call-
ing attention to the fact that the
Eastern states that formerly used
their own lumber now are forced to;
import it from the far West. He sum-
med up the situation by saying, "The'
East is paying freight for lumber
which could be produced in her back
yard." The East has been stripped,
Ithe South has many desolate areas,
the middle West is almostbarren of
lumber resources, and the final chap-
ter is being written by the ruthless
cutting of timber in the far West, ac-
cording to Professor Chapmjan. 1
The struggle to establish forestry
as a profession was started by a Ger-i
man, Dr. Fernow, who came to thisI
country and wes the first scientific
mnan in the field.'. The second pioneer
was Gifford Pinchot, now governor of'
Pennsylvaniaa, who carried on Dr.
Fernow's work and who, with the aidI
of President Roosevelt, established
the National forests. Other early
leaders were Dr. Joseph T. Rothrock j
of Pennsylvania, and the late Prof.
Filibert Roth of this University.
Although the forester's primary
work is to plant forests, and manage
them scientifically, it is also his duty
to get land-owners to consent to the
re-forestation of barren areas. TheI

AiNNOUNCE LIST OF
SUMMER COURSES
Teaching Staff Included In Catalogue
Which Will Appear Not Later
Than January 15
CURRICULA INCREASED
Distribution of the abridged an-
nouncement for the Summer session
of 1926 will begin not later than Jan. 1
15, according to Dean E. 11. Kra'us of
the Summer session. The publication,
which lists all the courses by num-
her and title which will be offered
during the coming session, general
information regarding credits and
facilities for instruction, together with
the names of the instructors, will be
in the hands of prospective students
in ample time to allow reference be-
fore second semester elections begin.,
The number of courses to be offered
in 1926.is measurably larger than that
of any previous Summer Session, Dean
Kraus indicated. The work of the
Summer Session is .similar in method,
character, and credit value to that of
the academic year, although the con-
stitution of the student body in the
summer school is materially different
from that of the regular session.
Prominent educators have stated their
conviction that every college student
should attend at least one summer
session before graduation.
Instruction in the colleges and
schools continuing work during the
summer months is offered by a staff
selected largely from the regular fac--
ulties, supplemented by teachers select-!
ed for their outstanding record in the
various fields.
Dean Kraus indicated that more
than 5,000 copies of the abridged an-
nouncement will be printed for dis-
tribution among students of the Uni-
versity, while 55,000 will be prepared
for distribution broadcast over the na-
tion.
Before the release of the announce-
ment, accounts of the various courses!
to be offered, the amount of credit to
be given, together with a list of the
instructors in the different depart-
ments will appear at intervals in The

CABINETDFFICE[
Deputies Fall To Accept Proposal,
And Force Fifth Downfall
In Eight Months
BRIAND NOT AFFECTED
By Associated Press)
PARIS, Dec. 15.-France's financial
troubles today caused the downfall of
the fifth minister who has grappled'
with them during the past eight
months. Louis Loucheur failed, as
did Caillaux, to propose solutions that
the principal elements of the govern-
ment majority in the Chamber of
Deputies would accept, and wasI
obliged'to resign, after receiving from
the finance committee of the chamber
the second rebuff in two days.
The opposition to M. Loucheur came
from the same group that obliged M.
Caillaux to retire, namely the social-
ists and extreme radicals, while Pain-
leve succumbed as did Demonzie and
Clementel, to the moderate conserva-
tive groups, with a few dissenting
radicals.
The socialists were the most un-
compromising adversaries of the min-
ister, leading the fight against any
consideration of the measures he
proposed.
The retirement of M. Loucheur is
considered as in no way affecting the
position of Premier Briand, who will
now be able, if he sees fit, to enlarge
his cabinet by taking in a represent-
ative of the moderate group, strength-
ening his government toward the}
right, and depriving the socialists of
'the influence they have exercised
throughout the present parliament
thus far.
In a letter to M. Briand, the finance
minister, confirming his resignation,
admits that his measures, twice re-
jected by the finance committee, "in-
volved heavy sacrifices," but affirms,
thaat "they were, in our opinion, neces-
sary."

FRATERNITIES INDIGNANT
Indignation with the methods
which the University authori-
ties plan to use in enforcing the
( prohibition laws, caused more
. than 60 fraternity men to hold a
meeting in the Union last night.
"We believe that the Univer-
sity has overstepped its rights,"
said one of the leaders. "A citi-
zen is protected from having per-
sons enter his house, except
when a search warrant is issued
and then the entrance must be
made by officers of the law. Stu-
dents should have this same pro-
tection; the University should
not force a proctor system upon
the fraternities.
As the gathering only repre-
sented 25 fraternities, it was de-
cided to have another meeting at
10:30 o'clock tonight at the
3 Union, at which all the fraterni-
ties will be represented. I
way of getting around the fact that
we must enforce the observance of
this law," he said. "Its enforcement
is not a matter of choice but a duty,
since we are a state supported in-
stitution and not a private one."
Start With Fraternities
President Little pointed out that he
does not hold the fraternity men sole-
ly responsible for violations, but that
they consist of compact groups easily
reached, and the machinery can be
started with them and extended to
the independents later.
Fraternities are given the choice of
three methods of enforcement, and
they must decide which they indi-
vidually desire before the Christmas
vacation. The three miethods of sup-
ervision are to be by students, fac-
ulty, or by a proctor appointed by the
University. The first two plans al-
low the fraternities to select their
own supervisors; while the last leaves
the responsibility up to the Univer-
sity.
It was pointed out by President
Little that the action of each indi-
vidual groupawill be considered in-
dividually, that the plans adopted will
not be collectively effectiv% but that
each fraternity has the opportunity
of chosing the method which is most
agreeable to it.
Offers Three Plans
Under the first plan the fraternity
will name two faculty members, pref-
erably alumni or honorary members
of the organization, who will agree to
report violation of the Volstead act and
will endeavor to see that it is en-
forced.
The second plan calls for the se-
lection by the fraternity of five ac-
tive members of the chapter, who will
make it their duty to see that the law
is enforced.
i The names of those chosen under
either of the above plans must be re-
[ported in writing to the offce of
Joseph A. Bursley, Dean of Students,
for his approval before the beginning
of the holidays. In each case, those
who are to serve must be men actually
in favor of the enforcement of the
prohibition laws, and they must ap-
pear before Dean Bursley and sign
an agreement to report all violations,
In case no action is taken by the
fraternities or no report made by
I them to Dean Bursley by Friday, the
third scheme of enforcement will auto-
matically become effective. This will
