Seven of the 12 lecturers have

tion to eastern Yucatan, of whichl
Mason was the leader. The expedi-
tion was in collaboration with the3

sity and the American Museum of Na-r
tural History. Mr. Mason's lecture1
will cover the finds of a prehistoric
civilization, which is believed to ante-
date that of ancient Egypt.r

Against War." Mr. Irwin has spokenI

pedition in quest of unearthing the
"missing link." Charles Upson Clark

University Will Offer 14 Programs
Through Detroit News Station;
Kraus In Charge
ABBOT WILL BROADCAST
Michigan Night radio programs will
be held again this year. Fourteen
programs are to be broadcast this
year through the generosity of station
WWJ, The Detroit News, which will
relay by means of remote control the
broadcasting from University hall.
Edward H. Kraus, dean of the Sum-
mer session and dean of the College of
Pharmacy, as chairman of the com-
mittee in charge of this phase of Uni-
versity extension work, made the ar-
rangements with The News.1
Thedates set for the program begin
with Oct. 15, on which night the en-
tertainment, being the opener of the
series, will be of a more varied and
general character than the others.
All of the programs will take place
on Friday nights-Oct. 22, Nov. 12 and
26, Dec. 10, Jan. 14 and 28, Feb. 11
and 25, March 11 and 25, April 8 and
22, and May 6.
Mr. Waldo Abbot, of the rhetoric
department, is in immediate charge of
the broadcasting. He is also to be an-
nouncer this year. He outlines plans
for the ensuing term which are in
most respects like those of last year.
There are to be four talks by fac-
ulty members or students prominent
in athletics or some extra-curricular
activity. There also will be five
periods of a musical nature, supplied
by students, members of the faculty,
and those enrolled in the School of
Music. The speakers and their topics
are as yet unannounced. '
It is planned that a bulletin similar
to the one published at the comple-
tion of the radio service last year will
again be put out. This magazine, en-
titled "Radio Programs," contains the
speeches made at the Michigan Nights,
and is sent to all parts of the United
States, more than two thousand re-
quests for copies having been made to
the University last spring.
Speeches very likely will be con-
fined to the four general topics of
sports, education, world affairs, and
work peculiar to the University. It is
the aim of those in charge to make
the programs sufficiently varied and
popular in their appeal that they will
be enjoyable to the average listener-
in.

pace for Richard to follow when he

Michigan Mentor New Type Coach
One difficulty in interviewing Yost
about Famous Players football is that
he is always reverting to Michigan
and the things that have been done
and are being done there. For a mat-
er of fact, his Eastern visit' marks
merely a continuation of his athletic
work at Ann Arbor. There it is not
merely football, but general athletic
work, for he is more than a coach;
he is athletic instructor and a mem-
ber of the faculty. This is, incident-
ally true of the majority of men who
are coaching in the west, middle west
and south. No longer are they merely
JEWISH WELFARE1
IS AIMOF UNIT
B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation Opens
Branch to House Activities of
University Students
RABBI TO BE DIRECTOR.
Planning to devote itself to the so-
cial and religious welfare of Jewish
students, a Michigan branch of the
B'nai B'rith Ilillel foundation has been
established at 615 East University Ave.
with facilities for almost every form
of activity.
The leaders, Rabbi Adolph H. Fink-
elstein and Leonard Cohen, are form-
ulating a program for the year calcu-
lated to interest all Jewish students
on the campus.
Among the many activities will be
open forum discussions, dramatic
groups; classes in Jewish topics such
as: "Contemporary Jewish Litera-
ture", and "Current Jewish Affairs"
will be conducted regularly; so-
cial welfare work will be engaged
in; and there will be many events of
a purely social character. There will
be regular religious services, both
Reform and Orthodox. The former
will be held every Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, the time for the orthodox
service has not yet been set.
Originating at the University of Il-
linois in 1923, the Hillel foundation
has grown through the aid of the In-
dependent Order of B'nai B'rith, and
now has branches at the University
of Wisconsin and Ohio State univer-
sity. It has been decided by the spon-
sors, the B'nai B'rith, to' extend the
scope of the foundation at the rate
of two new branches a year for five
years. The Michigan chapter is the
first one under the new arrangement.
In granting permission for the es-'
tablishment of the B'nai B'rith Hillel
foundation here, President Clarenee
Cook Little said, "It is gratifying to
know of the establishment of a
branch of the Hillel foundation at the
University of Michigan. 'Religious
liberality needs' to be increased and
religious bigotry and intolerance re-
moved. 'The Hillel foundation is in a
position to throw great weight on the
right side of this problem. In the
firm belief that it will steadily do so,
it is a great pleasure to welcome it
heartilyi'"

accurate idea of the student by infor-

pective freshmen.
(b) The appointment of faculty

(2) The establishmet of fresh-

These things will be continued and
new plans will be devised.
Is Legislative Year
This is a so-called "Legislative"
year. This means that a program of
the needs and plans of the University
is prepared for presentation to the
Legislature of the state.*In doing this,
the University, conscious of past gen-
erosity and cooperation assumes a
genuine interest on the part of the
people of the state in the progress of
the University. The legislature has
always granted, every bit of support
which it feels it can afford.
In a very similar way the program
of the University is laid before you
tonight-You are in this case the leg-
islature and I am telling you of the
needs of. the University. Deeply con-
scious of genuine interest and cooper-
ation whichnot only was shown dur-
ing the past year but which is tradi-"
tional for Michigan, the attitude of the
administration is one of complete re-
liance in your support and great pride
in your possibilities
You will be expected to support all
measures honestly aimed at increasing
your happiness by helping you to meet
your problems whether they are aca-
demic, social, physical, moral or spir-
itual.
Asks Hearty Support
Sometimes it will be hard for you to
see what the true object of certain
requests or rules on the part of the
University may be. In these cases try
to remember that the administration
'does not love rules-it does not want
rules and as soon as the need for them
passes it will not make rules.
This may sound peculiar to some of
you but it is honestly intended. What,
for example, is the object of restrict-
ing the use of automobiles? Out of
eleven deaths among the Michigan
undergraduate body last year five were
due to automobile accidents. The ter-
rible tragedy of the death of a young
Princeton man in Detroit recently is
another case of automobile fatality.

ents are not mature enough to use
