RESOLUTION INTRODUCED
Thunderous Appinuse Greets Defense
Against Charges Of Excessive
Drinking By Congressmen
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Both the j
Senate and the House indulged today l
in their daily dozen on prohibition.
The Senate sent along a resolution,
to Secretary Mellon inquiring among
other things, what hand, if any, the
Anti-Saloon league or Wayne B.
Wheeler had in the decision to. poison
industrial alcohol, much of which has
found its way into the bootleg trade.
'The House gave thunderous lap-
plause to a defense of its membership
against a charge of excessive drinking{
and received a new crop of bills
sponsored by the wets.
The prohibition subject also got into
a discussion before the Senate com-
merce committee with President Dal-
ton of the Fleet corporation and
Chairman O'Connor of the shipping
board at odds as to whether the dry-
ness of American liners constitutes a
handicap in their efforts to compete
with foreign wet lines. O'Connor took
the affirmative and Dalton the nega-
tive, but committee members 'did not
undertake to set themselves up as
judges of the debate.
The Senate resolution of inquiry re-
garding poisonous alcohol was acted
upon in the absence of its sponsor,
Senator Edwards, Democrat, New Jer-
sey, a wet leader. His colleague,
Senator Edge, Republican, 'insisted on
action and obtained it after Senator

paz tmcnt must havre "tightened up"
on these particular courses. They
sign up for more "pipe" courses, on
this assurance, but are foiled again.
In considering this phenoma, Deani
John R. Effinger, of the literary col-r
lege, believes that "pipe" courses es-t
cape definition. However, he does
think there are some particular
courses which are easier for some
students than they are for others, and
naturally the student best adapted tot
the particular course might be able;
to obtain a higher grade with less;
effort than the student who finds the
course difficult to master. Previous
training may have played the chief
role in making the course easier
for the one student than the other.
Perhaps, it is this success that the
one student achieves in the course
with less effort that has given rise to
the designation of some courses as
"pipes," in the opinion of Dean Ef-
finger.
Then too, Dean Effinger feels, there
are some courses in the University
which are more or less difficult for
all students to master. For instance,
there are the more difficult science
courses with their extra laboratory
hours requiring exceptionally keen ob-
servation, analysis, reasoning andt
speculation from the student; and the
higher mathematic courses requiring
that he must have mastered numerous
principles and retained in his memoryj
many formulae. Some courses the

Registrar Says Students Co-operate
Well And All Work Should Be
Finished As Scheduled
OFFICE IS CROWDED
"Students are co-operating well
with the new plan for early classifica-
tion, and everything should be over
in the allotted time," Ira M. Smith,
Registrar, said yesterday at the con-
clusion of the first day of second se-
mester registration in the literary
college.
The Recorder's office was crowded
all day yesterday with students takingj
advantage of the early classification
period, which had been moved for
ward from its usual place in examina-
tion week as an experiment. Elections
will continue for two weeks.
A new feature inaugurated this
year is the consultation hours to be
observed by representatives of the
various departments, during this week
and next. A complete list, with the
respective hours of consultation, is
published in the supplementary bul-
letin and time schedule of courses,
now available in the Reccorder's
office.
There are sti1l lappointments open
with the classification committee for
next week, and students are urged to
make arrangements this week, in the
Recorder's office.
The classification committee com-
piles class lists for certain courses, and
must be consulted before any such
courses may be elected. Class cards
are not to be filled out for these sub-
jects.
Juniors and seniors may classify in
the Recorder's office any time before
Jan. 15, providing they do not need
the approval of the upperclass advis-
ory committee because of combined
curricula, or of the classification com-
mittee.
Sophomores must consult with the
upporclass advisory committee, which
is now meeting. Seniors and juniors
are urged to meet with the committee1
before making elections. Freshmen
may still make appointments with the
committee on freshman elections at
the Recorder's office. No dates are
available for this week.
Courses which must be elected
through the classification committee
are as follows: Astronomy 31; Botany
1 and 3; Chemistry 3, 6, and 15;
French 1, 2, 31, 32, 97, 98, 102, 111,

give a Seminar on the "Moral Issues
of Modern Life," it has been enlarged
this semester to include a greaterf
range of problems and will be con-
ducted by Prof. Arthur E. Wood of the '
sociology department of the Universi-
ty. It is the intention of the school to
bring representative men and womenc

Toledo has Largest House, With 2,623,
In Audience; Grand Total Of
29,631 See Performances
NET FIGURESUNKNOWN
"Front Page Stuff," the 21st annual
Mimes production, was presented in
the last of three performances in
Detroit, Monday night, before a large
audience, bringing to a close the
Opera's tour of the East and Middle
West where 15 performances were
given during the Christmas holidays.
The "Michigan Opera Special," car-
rying the 100 students who composed
the "Front Page Stuff" company, ar-
rived in Ann Arbor at 2:30 o'clock
yesterday morning.
During the 1926 trip 23,461 persons1
saw the Opera, making a grand total
of 29,631 including the estimated num-
ber of paid admissions during the one
week run in this city. Toledo, with a
record breaking audience of 2,623, af-
forded the largest house of any city
on the itinerary and set a higher
mark than that of "Tambourine" last
year, when the Saginaw audience
numbered 2,582. Saginaw was second
with an attendance of 2,525, while
Detroit was third with an average of
2,052 for each of three performances.
The average attendance was 1,801. At-
tendance marks in the remaining
cities follow: Chicago 1,834; Indian-
apolis 1,264; Cincinatti 1,381; Cleve-
land 1,870; Lansing 1,411; Grand Rap-
ids 1,765; New York 1,327; Washing-
ton 801; Philadelphia 1,372; and Buf-
falo 1,100.
The trip this year was a decided
success financially, and the gross in-
come, though not yet entirely com-
puted, is running very close to that
netted by "Tambourine" last year. The
gross income for the Ann Arbor runi
was considerably more than last year.I

over the 1925 showing, netted the.

FOURTH STRAIGHT WIN
MICHIGAN FIVE CONTINUES TO
SHOW STEADY IMPROVEMENT
IN PLAY
HALF SC6RE IS IS TO 11
Harrigan And Oosterbaan Score High
For Michigan; Adams and Snyder
Star For Southerners
Michigan's basketball team gained
its fourth consecutive victory of the
season and won its final pre-Confer-
enco game by decisively defeating the
University of Maryland five by a score
of 39 to 25 last night at Yost field
house.
The Wolverines have shown steady
improvement since the opening game
[of the season with Michigan State be-
fore the Christmas holidays and prov-
ed by last night's victory that Mich-
igan will be represented in the Big
Ten Conference competition by a
strong team. Coach Mather revamped
his team after an unimpressive vic-
tory over Cornell college and develop-
ed a five strong enough to defeat the
powerful basketball squad of the Uni-
versity of Syracuse.
Maryland, ranked as a strong de-
fensive team, met its match in the
Wolverines. The first half was fea-
tured particularly by the strong de-
fenses formed by both teams, the scor-
ing being unusually slow during the
first 15 minutes of play. After the
first five minutes of play, the score
was 2 to 1 in favor of the Wolverines.
Michigan had its first opportunities to
score via the free throw route, but
Harrigan failed in his first three at-
tempts. Oosterbaan, keeping up the
same pace he set in the Syracuse
game, opened the scoring with a short
shot after receiving the ball on a pass
from Harrigan. Nine minutes of play
passed before Oosterbaan scored his
second field goal, bringing the score
to a 4 to 1 count.
Maryland quickly came to the
front and took the scoring lead after
Stevens raced up to the basket un-
guarded and dropped the ball through
the hoop. Faber scored another goal
for the Southerners on a long shot.
The lead changed hands three times
within a period of four minutes, Mich-
igan breaking away for a four point
lead sifting through the Maryland de-
fense and scoring on short shots just
before the half ended. Michigan led
the Maryland five, 15-11, at the end of
the first period.
Michigan opened the second period
with an amazing offense and scored
four baskets before the Maryland five
could register a point. The Wolver-
ines continued its rapid scoring pace
until they had doubled their oppon-,
ent's score. Coach Mather then called
his reserve material into the fray,
Martin replacing Oosterbaan for the
first substitution. Adams, tall center
of the Southern team, put a scare into
the Wolverines when he sand three
baskets in short order. Rasnick and
Babcock were sent in for Chambers
and Martin, respectively, and added
speed to the game.
When the game ended, Coach Mather
had only one regular on the floor,
Harrigan being the only man to play
the entire game. Harrigan was the'
outstanding performer of the game,
scoring 17 points and being the most
sensational floor man. Ooterbaan
was high scorer for the Wolverines
in the first half, tallying three baskets
1 and one free throw.
Adams, the Maryland center, was
high scorer for the visitors, with four
baskets and one free throw to his
week. Senator McKinley, and Arthur R.
