(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 3-By designa-
tion of President Coolidge, Saturday
June 11 is to be Lindbergh day in'
honor of the hero of the New York
to Paris flight.
Captain Lindbergh will arrive in
Washington from Europe on that day
to be personally welcomed by the
President in behalf of the American
people and decorated with the highest
award of the air service-the Disting-
uished Flying cross.
Coolidge Cancels Engagements

honor to the "Lone Eagle," the Chief
Executive hastcanceled all engage-;
'mets for Saturday afternoon and has
advanced the annual meeting of the
business organization of the govern-
ment from Saturday night to the night
before.
The reception of Lindbergh occu-
pied much of the attention of the
President and his Cabinet today and'
afterwards it was annouced tht the
Missouri National Guard flier would
be the honor guest at a Cabinet din-
ner to be given Saturday night at
the temporary White/House on Du-
Pont circle.
Announcement also was made that
the President and 'Mrs Coolidge had
invited Mrs. Evangeline L. Lindbergh.
mother of the aviator, to be a guest at
the White House for the three days
that Captain Lindbergh will remain in
Washington before flying to New
York in his plane "The Spirit of St.
Louis.".
A radiogram also was sent to Lind-
bergh at Paris requesting him to
make hi home at the temporary
White House while in the National
Capitol..
After the Cabinet meeting plans for
the entertainment for the transatlan-
tic flier progressed apace, the semi-
official reception committee announc-
ing that on the first night of his ar-
rival, Lindbergh would go from the
Cabinet dinner to a reception by the
Minnesota society at the Willard hotel
and from there to the National Press
club to be entertained by the news-
papermen.

visit, the pilot and his mother will
accompany the President and Mrs. -
Coolidge to church, and in the after-
noon Lindbergh willlay a wreath on !
the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at
Arlington National Cemetery and. then
visit the disabled and sick soldiers
at Walter Reed hospital.
The program for Sunday night and
Monday remains to be worked out
andi will be taken up with Mr. Cool-
idge after he returns from the review
'of the United States fleet at Hampton
Roads tomorrow.t
Definite decision was made, how-
ever, to have Lindbergh lead a parade
of soldiers, sailors and marines from
the navy yard where he will land over
Pennsylvania avenue to the Washing-I
ton monument grounds where Pres-'
ident Coolidge will greet him and
present him with the Distinguished
Flying cross.
PARIS, June 3-Capt. "Charley"

ped off on his epochal New York to:
Paris flight just two weeks ago, will
again start across the Atlantic, this
time aboard his own private warship!
for a week-the U. S. 5'. Memphis-
which will carry him straight to his
:meeting with President Coolidge.
His plane, "The Spirit of St. Louis,"
which served him so well on his mem-
crable flight, will go with him crated[

COMPASS MODEL

DEAN WHITNEY ADVOCATES SCHOOL OF TEACHING THAT
WILL COMPARE WITH SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE AND LAW1


"I do not believe that we will get
anywhere until we follow the policy
of the other professions," declared
Dean Whitney of the School of Educa-
tion, in an interview yesterday. "I
am for an out-and-out professional{
school for teachers only, comparable,
to the professional schools of medi-
cine, law, and dentistry.""
Dean Whitney gave his opinion of
the new arrangements made by the
faculty of the School of Education

with the literary college concerning
teachers' life certificates. "The fac-
ulty of our school made it with the
view of the proposed University Col-
lege in mind," he stated. "Just what
the effect this arrangement and of the
proposed college will have, no one
knows. It will probably be four or
five years before the final result will
be known. Just how long the present
relationship will continue no one can
say as it depends upon future develop-
nvannts."
Dean Whitney is in favor of the
plan which has just been agreed upon
by the faculties. But to press his
ideas upon the establishment of a
separate professional school for teach-
ers he reiterated his first statements
to further illustrate his point. By the
new regulations raising the standards
of grades and increasing the hours re-
cuired for graduation, he pointed out,
they are following the plans which
are being tried elsewhere in the Uni-
versity to cut off the tail-end of the
students and allow only the ones who

are seriously interested in their work
to remain in school.
"With these higher standards, bet-
ter men will enter the profession and
this will mean better salaries, which
will in turn call forth men with
brains into the profession," he con-
cluded. "It may seem like an ideal
now, but we cannot go straight to the'
point, and it is better for us to have
that ideal ahead of us in our work to
better the teaching profession." '

BELLANCA PLANE
DOES NOT START
ON BERLIN FLIGHT
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, June 3-The European
flight of the Bellanca monoplane Co-
lumbia was postponed late today "un-
til tomorrow noon anyway" it was an-
nounced at the office of Charles Le-
vine, sponsor of the flight.
Extra police, called to handle the
crowd in the event of a start, were
relieved from duty at the field short-
ly before 6 o'clock by a representative
'of Charles Levine, managing director
of the Columbia Aircraft corporation.
sDespite the fact that 445 gallons of
gasoline had been put aboard the
plane and mechanics had been busy
throughout the day grooming it, there
was o official announcement of a
flight nor of the intended destination
of the plane. It was said unofficially
earlier in the day that the plane was
to start oi an attempted flight to
Berlin.
Clarence B. Chamberlain, pilot of
the plane, was not at the field.
BERLIN, June 3-Although no word
has been received here late tonight of
the projected European "mystery
flight" of the Bellanca monoplane
Columbia, which might have Berlin
as its destination, the German air-
drome at Tempelhoferfeld has been in-
structed to keep in readiness for the
possible arrival of the plane.
The mammoth German airport is
equipped with a battery of powerful
searchlights, the beams of which are
visible SO miles away, so that there
would be little difficulty in locating
it.

MEXICO CITY, June 3.-Anerican
Ambassador James R. Sheffield, in
response to persistent newspaper in-
quiries, today issued a formal written
statement saying that he had not yet
resigned, but not saying whether he
may or not resign after reaching the
United States on his forthcoming va-
cation.
Mr. Sheffield's statement on the re-
port of his resignation was as fol-
lows:
"In view of press reports concern-
ing my alleged resignation, I desire to
state that I have not resigne"
The idea still persists in the Ameri-
can colony, however, that Mr. Shef-
field nay resign after he reaches the
United States.

3laentz, '27, Ehlers, '27E, and Cowell
,28E, Favor Last Fall's Plan
Against Proposal
Three presidents of upperclasses
have dleclared themselves to be op-
posed to the new regulation of the
Athletic association in regards to
having a temporary cheering section
for next fall.tAccording toethis reg-
ulation, no student will be able to
take a place in the section for a whole
eason, making it necessary to fill
the block with new men for each
game. Those who make up the "M"
block will use cardboard squares in
place of the uniform worn this year.
Moreover those men will not be given
extra tickets to the game during
which they sit in the cheering sec-
tion. This action of the Athletic asso-
ciation was taken, it is said, due to
the fact that instances ofdstudents
scalping the extra tickets -had come
to their attention.
Ehlers Opposed To Plan
Ralph Ehlers, president of the 1927
class of the engineering school, is
heartily opposed to the rule forbid-
N ng those in thescheering section to
have extra tickets. Few men will be
willing to sit in the section under
such a rule, he said, ' while a far
greater ,number would be brought to
the games if they couldsecure tick-
ets for their friends. Ehlers is not in
favor of the idea ,of changing the
members of the section for every
game. It is, he stated, another of the
many attempts that have been made
during the year,' to kill the spirit of
the student body of the University.
This year's cheering section worked
well, he believes, so that there is no
reason for bringing forth a new sys-
tem.
Henry Maentz, president of the lit-
erary class of 1927, favors a perma-
nent cheering' section if it could be
composed of freshmen who will be
required to practice. It would not be
satisifactry to have upperclassmen
in it, he believes, as it will be more
difficult to get them to practice, and
practice will be necessary for good
cheering. He is also opposed to the
regulation that will not permit those
who form the bloc "M" to have extra
tickets.
Expresses Dissatisfaction
Wayne G. Cowell, presidentsof, the
junior engineers, also expressed his
dissatisfaction. "I fail to see," he de-
clared, "any reason for the action
taken by the Board in Control of
Athletics in regard to a cheering sec-
tion. Michigan needs a cheering sec-
tion, and the only way in which it
may be made effective is to have it
permanent. Last fall, the cheering
section proved to be a decided suc-
cess. It was colorful as well as being
efficient in cheering. I am heartily in
favor of the establishing of a per-
manent cheering section at Michigan."
Cowell also said that he believes it
will be impossible to have coopera-
tion in the cheering unless the same
men are in the section at each game.
The Student council also registered
violent protest at its meeting held
Wednesday against the provision
keeping the members of the cheering
section from obtaining extra tickets.
The opinion of the members of the
council was unanimous on the point
that few students would be willing to
participate in the cheering section if
by doing so they lost their option of
securing theirhallotment of extra tick-
ets. Opposition was also expressed
against the new plan of using card-
board squares in place of the uni-
forms for the bloc "M" in the new
stadium, and the plan of making the
section temporary instead of perma-
nent for all the home games.
Board Favors Experiment
The members of the Athletic board
feel, it is reported, that the project
of cardboard squares ill be more or
less experimental the first year, and
that if it fails a return can be made
to the use of uniforms. The attitude

of the Athetic association is to the
effect that providing students seats
near the 50 yard line is a valuable
concession in itself and that the ac-
tual operation of the cheering section
is of ser dary importance to this

NEW ORLEANS, June 3.-With
danger of rising waters definitely con-
fined to the extreme lower Atchafa-]
laya river basin, and refugee work
virtually completed in all sections, the I
flood situation in Louisiana tonightl
was about to pass from the emergency
stage into that of rehabilitation. 1
Levees at Berwick and Donner, near
Morgan City and about 100 miles west
of New Orleans, still were holding
the glanwly, rin ,-rnfao 'ith as fv

rise during the past 24 hours but thisj
was attributed to southerly winds
which are impeding the flow into the
Gulf of Mexico. The weather bu-
reau has lowered by one foot its pre-
diction of the crest at Morgan City
which, it now states, may reach 10 to
12 feet June 10 to 15.
1 The lower Atchafalaya flood has set
up variable slopes due to the volume1
of water carried off by the river at
Morgan City and to the influence of
