DISCUSS DELAYED RUSHING
Appoint Committee To Draw Up'Rules
Regulating Activities During
Freshman Week
Passage of a protest against the
present automobile ban was the chief
feature of a special meeting of the
Interfraternity council, held yesterday
afternoon.
The resolution, which has been un-
der consideration for several weeks,
reads in its final form:
"Whereas, the Interfraternity coun-
cil of the University of Michigan, in
regular meeting assembled has reach-
ed a unanimous decision in regard to
its attitude toward the University au-
tomobile ban.
"Whereas, in the interest of the
best solution of the auto problem we
believe it desirable that the opinion
of this representative student body be
made known to the Regents, therefore,
"Be it resolved, that the followingj
statement be submitted to the Uni-
versity Regents:
Favors Modified Rulingj
"The Interfraternity council hereby
goes on record as being in favor of a
modified auto ruling, making it pos-
sible for scholastically eligible upper
classmen to own and operate motor
vehicles. The council would also ap-
preciate a clear statement of the aims

when it made its flight last summer.)
Asked how flight takeoffs, always
hazardous, might be made less dang-
erous for future flights, Commander
Byrd asserted that this will probably
be accomplished by constructing big-
ger fields in the future. "The field
from which the America took off last
summer," Commander Byrd said, "was
the biggest field in the United States;
and it wasn't halt big enough."

Surrounding Disappearance Of
25 Lost In Recent Flights
Difficulties in the America's flight
to France were not ended with the
forced but safe landing last summer
at Ver-Sur-Mer, according to Com-
mander Richard E. Byrd, who spoke
here last night in Hill auditorium.
One of the obstacles after landing at
the summer resort town on the
French coast was to attract the at-4
tention of the inhabitants, who placed
no faith in their appearance. "The
situation was this," Commander Byrd
said, half-humorously, "Lieutenant
Noville spoke French fluently, but3
was deaf from the sound of the en-f
gines; I could hear but couldn't un-
derstand French."
Commander Byrd then went on to
picture the surprise of the inhabi-
tants when they finally were made
to understand that the strange visi-
tors had dropped in from America:
from that time on their hospitalityl
and reception were above reproach,
Byrd said.
Believes Lost Planes Tail-Spinned
Commander Byrd expressed the be-
lief last night that the majority of
the 25 persons who have lost their
lives in the past few months in flight
attempts went down into the sea
where their planes tail-spinned and
that the plane was partially smashed
to pieces when it hit the crest of a3
wave. The waves, he said, were prob-
ably responsible for no trace being
found later in so many cases.

BAND DEDICATES
NEW HOCKEY RINK
Parading on 75 individual pairs of
nice, new rubbers, the members of
the Michigan Varsity band paraded
back and forth across the ie of the
sew Olympia arena in Detroit, lastl
night, as a part of the formal dedica-
tion ceremonies. The rubbers were
especially bought for the band by the
Olympia management so that the
bandsmen would find better footing
on the ice of the hockey rink.
The band left here at 4:45 o'clock
yesterday afternoon on special busses.
and were guests at a banquet given
them by the managers, last night.
S'oon after the banquet, they were
taken to the arena and played for
the large crowd which had assembled.
The opening was featured by a Na-
tional League hockey game between
the Detroit team and the Ottawa, Can-
ada, representatives. This game mark-
ed the opening of the National league
season for 1927-28.
TRANS-PACIFIC FL.YER'

British War Ace Gallantly Fights Way
To Caliornia As Tiny Plane
Flals In Slid-Ocean
SAYS HE WILL TRY AGAIN
(By Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22-Captain
Frederick A. Giles, British war ace,
who set out today from San Francisco,
in a trans-Pacific flight to Australia,
informed the Examiner by telephon
tonight that he had been forced back
after traveling 500 miles to sea and
had landed near the William Ran-
dolph Hearst ranch at San Simeon,
California.
"I never expected to make it," he
said over the telephone, from th
Hearst ranch tonight. "My center sec-
tion bracing wires had snapped; I
had dropped my main gas tank to
;lighten the strain on the broken plane
and the chances were just about ze-
ro. But luck stayed with me- 1 hit
the coast about 60 miles north om
where I landed and had to keep my
ship in, the air for all that distance
before I finally found a landing place
at San Simeon."
"Well, what are you going to do?"
he was asked. And like a flash, "Why,
I'm going to try again," he laughed.
"I'm going to fix the ship and fly
her back to San Francisco. And then,
as soon as the moon is full and I can
get new charts, I'll be off again. I've
started to fly to Australia, and by
George I'm going to do it."{
Utterly beyond control, his little
trans-Pacific biplane went spinning
into a rain-drenched "air pocket" 500
miles out at sea and finally turned
completely upside down, scattering
his charts, his food and his instru-
ments into the ocean below, Giles

GOULD MAY ACCOMPANY

It is wholly possible, Commander
Byrd said last night before catching
his train out of Ann Arbor, that Prof.-
Lawrence M. Gould, of the geology
department, who recently returned
with the Putnam expedition from the
arctic, will be included in the party
of. approximately 60 persons, whea
the South Pole expedition is attempt-
ed.
"With hundreds of applications al-
ready made for the position of official
geologist," Commander Byrd said, "it
would be no reproach if Professor
Gould were not chosen." Announce-
ment will be made of the party to
make the trip in March and it is ex-
pected to start in September.

Of Final Work Of Finishing
Campus Cinemaj
The first showing of the University
moving picture, with the filming prac-
tically complete, was given yesterday
afternoon in room 302 of the Union
before President Clarence Cook Little,
Dr. Frank Robbins, assistant to the
President, a small group of newspaper
men and the representatives from the
Metropolitan Moving Picture company
of Detroit, who made the picture.
The film as shown yesterday was
untitled and unedited and complete as
filmed, without the earliest cuts having
been made from the negatives. The
object of the showing was to allow
President Little and Dr. Robbins to
suggest any additions or deletions be-
fore the picture is made up in its
final form.
The moving picture has been made
for the purpose of showing alumni
clubs throughout the country, many of
whose members rarely have an oppor-
tunity to return and see the vast im-
provements in the University and its
equipment. Particular emphasis has
been laid on the new buildings and
accomplishments of the University.
The scenes are laid around a very
loosely woven plot which has for its
central figures two students, Marian
Welles, '28, and Jo Chamberlin, '28,
and an alumnus, Nathan Potter, '98.
Inclndes Football Pictures
Some very effective scenes have
been incorporated into the film, and
some of the slow motion pictures tak-
en of the Ohio State and Navy games
have turned out excellently, according
to the first showing. The crowds at
the Ohio State game are also shown,
together with the inaugurating cere-
monies.
The engineering shops and chem-
istry laboratories have also been in-
cluded in very interesting phases, and
several of the rare books at the Cle-
ments library were photographed in
addition to the building itself.
Angell hall and the Union are taken
in characteristic scenes, and several
prominent members of the faculty
have been photographed. The new
University hospital is included amongf
the scenes, though none of the impres-
sive physical equipment of the build-
ing was included as the children's
wards occupied almost the entire at-
tention of the photographers.

The photography of the pictures is
all very clear and well done, and in

everyone concerned."
This protest is tsomewhat modified
from that presented at the last meet-,
ing, in addition to being couched in{
more formal language. It was passed!
by a unanimous vote of the council.
Wayne Schroeder, '28, president of
the council, and Edward Wachs, '29,
secretary, were selected as delegates
to the National Interfraternity Confer-
ence, to be held in New York City on
Nov. 25 and 26. The National Confer-
ence is expected to be attended by
more than 200 delegates from all parts
of the country representing 60 fra-C
ternities.
Discuss Deferred Rushing
A discussion of the advisability of
taking some action on the matter of
deferred rushing occupied part of the
session. Due to the conflict between
rushing and Freshman Week activ-
ities, the University had threatened
to take the matter into its own hands
if the council did not take action. The
general sentiment of the members was
that too hasty action on the part ofj
the council might be needlessly dras-
tic and it was decided that certain
rules for the conduct of fraternitiesJ
during Freshman Week would suffice!
to handle the problem.
A committee, consisting of Ellis
Merry, '28, William Pusch, '28, Wayne
Schroeder, '28 and J. B. Wood, was
appointed to' formulate the rules, so
that rushing and any plans of theI
University might not conflict. The
results of this committee's work will
be presented at the next meeting, to
be held Dec. 5.
Edward Wachs, '29, secretary of the
council, presided at the meeting in{
the absence of Wayne Schroeder.

IS NOTED EASTERN PASTOR
Dr. Charles It. Erdman, pastor ofL
the First Presbyterian church, Prince-
ton, N.J., will be the speaker at the
second of the fall seriesof convoca-
tions to be held in Hill auditorium
next Sunday morning. The plans for
the convocations are in the hands of a,
special committee appointed by Presi-
dent Clarence Cook Little, the com-
mittee being assisted in this work by
Dr. Frank E. Robbins, assistant to
the president, and James Inglis, a
member of the board of trustees of the.
Michigan School of Religion.
Dr. Erdman is one of the most pop-
ular pastors in the east. At a meeting
some time ago when the students of
Princeton were asked to signify who
was their most admired preacher, they
voted unanimously for Dr. Erdman.
Besides his activities with his
church he has taken a place as one of
the leaders in the national organiza-
tion of the church and has held the
office of moderator of the PresbyterianI
church. He also held the position of
professor of practical theology in
Princeton Theological seminary.
Dr. Erdman is the author of many

parison between the support of the
teams and the support of University
regulations as carried out by the
undergraduates of the University.
President Little appealed to the stu-
dents to take the attitude toward the
University authorities that they did
toward the football and other athletic
tams, giving to them the best of
their support. Every student is re-
ceiving a salary from the state during
his attendance and should make him-
self worth this salary by really con-
tributing to the good of the University,
the president declared. Further, any
man who does not consider himself
such a servant of the state does not
belong in the University, and it is the
duty of the authorities to get rid of
this man who is not making proper
use of the salary he is receiving from
the state.
Discusses Auto Regulations.
The automobile regulations, the
President believed, are a just tribute
to the intelligence shown by the
undergraduates of the University. In
referring to service to the University
he further stated, "I or any other
member of the faculty are not asking
you to do anything that we ourselves
are not doing."
President Little also discussed com-
mercialism in regard to athletics here.
The belief of many, he said, was to
the effect that tickets should be eith-
I er placed on sale at greatly reduced
rates or that it should be admitted
that the colleges are seeking to com-
mercialize on the popularity of the
games. The president commended the
Board in Control of Athletics on their
policy to keep all the elements of
amateur athletics present in college
football and yet to take all the com-
mercial advantages possible as a re-
sult of attendance at football and oth-
er contests.
