Bursley, dean of students, addressed the Fresh- man Traditions meeting held yester- day afternoon in Hill auditorium. Campus activity urged Participation in one of the various campus activities as long as the schol- astic standing of the student is not af- fected was set forth by the dean as a desirable part of a college course. In this connection, the speaker listed the rules governing eligibility for activi- ties other than athletis, which pro- hibit the participation of freshmen in activities during the first semester, but allow the same during the second se- mester providing one grade higher than "C" and none lower have been received in the previous work at the: University. Establishment of an honorary schol- astic fraternity for freshmen, Phi Ep- silon Sigma, here this year was also related by Dean Bursley. Election to this organization, which will include the eligible members of the class of '29, will be granted to all freshmen who attain a scholastic average of two and five-tenths during their first semester or during the whole year. In five years at the University of 11- linois, where the society was started, the percentage of freshmen qualifying for the honor more than doubled. Particulars regarding the election of the R. O. T. C. training course were given by the speaker with the infor- mation that freshmen may elect 16 hours if one hour is filled by the mili- tarywork.. Cavainaigh speaks Opening the afternoon's program Thomas C. Cavanaugh, '27k, explained the purpose of the meeting and urged. the entering students to become ac- quainted with the traditions and cus- toms of the University. Chief among these are the wearing of the pot and the new regulations prohibiting fresh-1 men from driving automobiles, he said.- The council president also explained the function of the Union, the Student Christian association, the Daily, and the 'relation of each institution to the freshman. Barry L. Samuels, field superintend- ent of the intramural department, out- lined the work of his organization as the third speaker of the program.

BUTLER (By Associated Press) WASHIJNGTON, Sept. 30 --- Another wave rippled today in the ocean of campaign arguments ebbing and flow- ing between Republican and Demo- cratic spokesmen whose activities are concentrated upon the November elec- tions which will decide the control of the 70th Congress. After breakfast and luncheon en- gagements with President Coolidge at the White House, Senator William M. Butler, Massachusetts, chairman of the national committee, brought the tariff to the fore with a prediction that some of the Yordney-McCumber schedules now in effect would be revised up- ward at the coming short session of congress, while Senator P. G. Gerry, chairman of tlhe Democrat c senatorial committee, in a statement from his home state of Rhode Island, accused Republican managers of "misrepre-} senting the past and the present and showing no abiilty to formulate a pro- gram for the future." TYPHOON KILLS MANY CHINESE (By Asspciated Press) I-lONG KONG., Sept. 30.-Two thou- sand Chinese fishermen are believed to have perished n a typhoon which ranged throughout Monday. More than 100 junks which were engaged in fishing in the Canton river estuary and off the coast have not made port and are believed to have been wrecked, UNION PRESIDENT EXPLAINS INCR EASExOF $8 IN TUITION "Contrary to prevalent conceptions on the campus, the additional $8 paid by men students at registration this fall does not go entirely to the Union," Lester F. Johnson, '27L, president of that body, stated yesterday. "As pro- vided by the Regents last spring, $4 is to go to the University health ser- vice, and $4 to the Union. "This makes a total of $10 paid by by men students to the Union at the time of registration; $6 was the amount paid previous to this fall. This total is taken care of in the following way by the Regents' ruling: $5 is to go into the maintenance fund of the building, and $5 into the building fund, both to be used as directed by the board of governors.". "Members of the incoming fresh- man class,." Johnson explained fur- ther, "will practically become life l CHAMBERLAIN AND MUSSOLINI CONFER ON, ITALIAN YACHTI members of the Union upon gradua- tion provided they stay here their four college years. The complex situations arising in the other classes on the campus, as a result of the fact that some of the students in those classes have begun payments on their $50 life memberships will be handled as e:- pediently as possible. "A committee appointed jointly by the board of governors and the board of directors to consider the situation held several meetings in the past ten days, and is ready to report to the board of directors which will meet tomorrow. It is probable that if this report is accepted, an amendment to the constitution will be considered by all members of the Union at a general meeting. Such an amendment would remedy the situation arising in the classes of '27, '28, and '29 as a result of the recent increase in Union fees." D)ISCUSS OF. POLICE WILL HELP UNIVERSITY ENFORCE NEW AUTO REGULATIONS PRIVATE. QUESTIONS INTERNATIONAL IMPO RTAN('E Willingness of the Ann Arbor police force to assist University officials in enforcing the new regulations restrict- ing the use of automobiles by students was expressed in an interview yester- day by Chief of Police Thomas O'- Brien. "We will cooperate with the university authorities if they so de- sire," he stated. As the situation stands at present, city officers are not concerned with the new ruling in any way. Michigan driver's licenses must be procured immediately by students whose residences are outside the state, declared N. E. Cook, traffic sergeantj of the department. Under f new rul- ing the secretary of state has issued' an order permitting students froml other states to drive their cars on their original license platos until thea first of the coming year, if a Michigan I1 title is secured immediately. How- ever, when application is made for 1927 Michigan plates, unless an affi- davit can be made to the effect that the car has not been driven in Mich- igan during 1926, the student must pay for the half year, September to January, in addition to the full 1927 rate. The old regulations required the purchase of plates within ten days of entering into residence. Students are reminded by the traffic department that parking is limited to 60 minutes in the business section in the daytime. Leaving cars on the street car tracks surrounding the cam- pus and on lawn extensions is strictly forbidden, as is also double parking. Cutouts and exhaust whistles of any kind are not allowed, nor may horns resembling police, fire, or ambulance sirens be used, under penalty of a heavy fine.

EFFBNER WILL DEPART ON TOUR Of INSPECTION Will Spend Month Visiting Western Colleges And Universities John R. Effinger, dean of the Col- lege of Literature, Science and the Arts, will leave tomorrow for a month's tour of inspection of more than 15 western colleges and univer- sities which have applied for a place on the accredited list of the Associa- tion of American Universities. The purpose of establishing this list is to draw up a reliable record of those institutions whose graduates may be expected to earn degrees In standard graduate schools of the country within the minimum time set for earning such degrees. Dean Ef- finger will try to obtain information concerning the institutions bearing on their elegibility for such classfication.

The comment is made that Marshal Pilsudski, who remains as the powers behind the throne, certainly changed his mind, and, instead of permitting the president to dissolve the houses of parliament, asked him to accept the cabinet's resignation following upon the decision of the Diet to reduce the credit asked by the government to carry on affairs for the last quarter of 1926. It is learned that the four ministers of the Bartel cabinet representing agriculture, commerce and industry, land reforms and finance also advised against dissolution of parliament and' elections in January, stating that it would interfere with the present work of improving Poland's economic situ- ation. When the Diet met this afternoon, the government's spokesman made it plain that approval of the senate amendment to the crtdit bill, or a vote of non-confidence as regards the en- tire cabinet or individual ministers, would be followed by an immediate presidential decree dissolving the house. The Diet decided to "die with honor" by accepting the senate reduc- tion of credit, passing a motion of1 non-confidence in the cabinet. As a consequence the cabinet tendered its resignation.' During today's sitting, the Diet rati-{ fied the guarantee treaty concluded with Roumania in the spring.

Dr. Redden, in making public the" figures, said that they represented as ,near an approximation as could be made as no final figures could be obtained at this time. TALK FOR AN HOUR Subsequent Communique Implies Ac- cord Of England, Italy On Inter- national Situation (By Associated Press) LEGHORN, Italy, Sept. 30. - Sir Austen Chamberlain, British foreign secretary, and Premier Mussolini clasped hands today aboard the Italian yacht Giuliana and then for more than an hour discussed private ques- tions of international import. At the conclusion of the conference, they parted with another hearty hand- clasp. An official communique issued subsequently is taken as signifying that Great Britain and Italy are in perfect accord over the international situation and on those problems of Mediterranean basis, where mutual and unconflicting interests exist. Meeting a Secret Sir Austen had arrived at Leghorn last night on the yacht Dolphin. Pre- mier Mussolini spent the night at a small town near Leghorn and this morning he proceeded with his group to the yacht, cheered by great crowds gathered on the waterfront. While it was known that Mussolini and the British foreign secretary were to en- gage in an important conference, the meeting place had been kept secret. Early this morning, however, the news leaked out that they would con- fer on board a yacht off Leghorn, and immediately hundreds of persons swarmed to the waterfront, and Brit- ish and Italian flags appeared in all parts of the city. As Sir Austen stepped aboard the yacht Guiliana, he was met by Musso- lini, the meeting being unusually cor- dial. Lady Chamberlain then cane aboard, Mussolini kissing her hand. rhe visitors were guests of the pre- nier at luncheon, after which the two statesmen retired for their talk. When they again appeared on deck, their faces were beaming, and 'as they parted they gave expression to the hope that it would be possible for them to meet again soon.

Professor Weyl said that "we should not bind ourselves too closely to the relative theories of Einstein." On this point the professor went into detail in discussing the nature of body and ratio. "The formula, "c" over "m" equals zero is of the chargevand the motion," saidthespeaker. Equations and formulas taken from Einstein were written on the blackboards to further prove and explain points brought up in the lecture. Aside from Einstein's theories, Pro- fessor Weyl discussed Fokker's and Schrodenzer's conceptions of gravita- tion and relativity, and in this con- nection talked of the relation of elec- tro-magnetic influences on their theor- ies. The lecture was concluded with explanations of the professor's theory, which dealt more with semetry than electro-magnetic influences. Professor Weyl expressed the hope that such a theory will be verified in the future. Prof. J. W. Glover of the mathema- tics department introduced the lec- turer, and stated that Professor Weyl is one of the outstanding authorities in the field of relativity.

L[ITTLE TO ADRESS FOREiGN STUDENTS Members of the Cosmopolitan club will be addressed by President Clar- PRICE FIVE CENTS DEMOCRATS FINIS NOMINATIONS FOR1 NOEMBER SLATE LEADERS CLAIM CONVENTION IS MOST ENTIIUSIASTIC IN YEARS BURKE NOMINATED Graduate Of University And Ann Ar- bor Attorney Is Chosen To Oppose Snow (By Associated Press) MUSKEGON, Sept. 30-In harmoni- ous state convention here today, Mich- igan Democrats nominated a complete list of candidates for state offices and adopted a platform which they hope will bolster the campaign of their slate to victory in November. Best In years Party leaders claimed it was the best attended and most enthusiastic convention in years. The outstanding events of the gathering were the con- sistent demands of speakers and or- ganization officers for a "house clean- ing at Lansing"; charges that "New- berryism" has been resurrected in Michigan by the Republicans; and the adoption of a plank placing the Dem- ocratic party on record as favoring the abolition of the state property tax. The candidates. selected to bear the party's standards in the November elections were: Catherine Doran of Detroit, for sec- retary of state; Cornelius Gerber, of Fremont, for state treasurer; John S. Cross, of Three Rivers, for auditor general; Alva M. Cummings, of Lan- sing,'for attorney general; and George J. Burke, of .Ann Arbor, for justice of the supreme court. By naming a candidate for auditor general, the Democrats broke a prece- dent of the last few campaigns. Claim- ing that 0. B. Fuller, the Republican incumbent, is the "only white spt in the Republican administration," they have endorsed him and declined to run a candidate against him on several oc- casions. The only contest in the nominations developed for secretary of state, and it was short lived. The name of Rob- ert E. Pointer, of West Branch, was submitted to the convention in oppo- sition to Miss Doran. Pointer, who formerly lived in Dearborn, once was a candidate for President on the Far- mer Labor ticket. Mr. Pointer de- cided to withdraw and he was induced to stay in the race. The delegates de- manded a roll call by districts, and it was under way when Pointer finally withdrew and proposed that Miss Do- ran's nomination be made unanimous. Resolutions Adopted Resolutions adopted by the conven- tion, in addition to advocating the abolition of the state property tax, de- manded an abolition of the state ad- ministrative board; abolition of the state police; revision of the primary election laws to piovide for free pri- mary conventions for all parties; a strict limit on campaign expenditures; penalties for bribery in the legisla- ture; a separate conservation depart- ment "free from politics"; prompt payment of the state debt to the coun- ties; a reduction of one-third in the cost of state government; revision of the workmen's conpensation law abolition of the convict labor system; and advocacy of the lakes-to-the-sea waterway. Diversion was afforded the delegates when Edward Frensdorf of Hudson, former Democratic candidate for gov- ernor, charged that the Groesbeck and Green factions of the Republican party broke because of a dispute over the division of revenue from the De- troit underworld. He charged John S. Haggerty, Governor Groesbeck's former ally, and Mayor John W. Smith with political connivery in the interest of Fred W. Green. Frensdorf Talks "The price of liquor ought to. come down if a Republican administration is elected," he said. "If the Demo- cratic candidate is elected, lie should start building an addition to the' state prisons at once for a lot of Republi- cans will be investigated." W. A. Comstock, the Democratic candidate for governor, delivered an address in which he prayed for re- moval of the "Republican autocracy," and asked an amendment to the elec- tion laws to legalize free primary conventions. All delegatiqns were seated without contest. There was none of the sem- blance of a crash that prevailed in the Republican convention in Detroit Tuesday.
