(By Associated Press)
DETROIT, April 25-'Michigan's 33
delegates to the national Republican
convention were directed today to
"vote for Herbert Hoover as long as
he is a candidate."
The Republican state convention,
with more than 1,000-delegates pre-
sent, was a perfect picture of the har-
mony that had been pirophesied. De-
spite the threats of a minority of the
Wayne county delegation that objec-
tions would be offerp d,° Arthur H.
Vandenberg was endorsed for the
nomination and election as United
States senator. Rep. Robert Wardell,
of Detroit, voiced the lone protest
against the resolution. Governor
Green's administration was commend-
ed in the highest terms. President
Coolidge was described as a "great
President."

Little Will Speak
The annual club reception and din-
ner will be held tonight in the Union.
The reception at which presidents of
higher institutions, deans of junior col-
leges, out of state speakers, and many
others will be the guests, will be held
at 5:30, on the third floor of the
Union. This will be followed by the
annual dinner at 6 o'clock for all
club members and their friends. Per-
sons who are intending to attend
must have secured their tickets, of
which additional ones will be on sale
at the registration desk, by 2:30
o'clock this afternoon. Tickets are
$1.25 apiece. The main address will
be delivered by President Clarence
Cook Little.
Following the annual dinner, the
all-state orchestra of 175 pieces and
the Ann Arbor high school chorus
will present a concert at 8 o'clock in
Hill auditorium. For the members of
the/ club, the admission will be by
badge, and the balcony will be opened
to the public.
But one special event outside the
tiegular proceedings has been planned
for the visiting schoolmen today. From
3:30 to 5 o'clock, the members of.the
Women's Educational club will enter-
tain the visiting schoolmen at a tea
In Tappan hall. As many of the mem-'
bers of the club are prospective teach- I
era for next fall, the tea will give
both superintendents and students a
chance to interview the others about
teaching chances and questions.
Teachers To Visit Classes
Due to 'the cooperation between the
University faculty and the special
committee, arrangements have been
made whereby visiting teachers and
principals will be allowed to attend
fneshman classes on campus today and
tomorrow. Many of the club took ad-
vantage of a similar plan last year,
and it is expected that many more
will in the next few days. The main
object of the plan, according to the
letter sent out by President Little,
is to allow the high school officials a
chance to observe at first hand the
situations which their pupils must
face when they come to the Universi-
ty, keeping in mind the improvement
in easier transition from high school
to college.
Tomorrow morning, the annual con-
vocation will be held at 11 o'clock in
Hill auditorium, with Pesident Little
as chairman. The main address will
be delivered by Gordon Jennings La-
ing Dean of the graduate school at
the University of Chicago. The Uni-
versity classes at 11 o'clock, with the
exception of clinics, will be dismiss-
ed.
Special provisions have been made
for those students who wish to at-
tend Lhe various meetings. Admis-
sion to the sessions is by badge only,
and these badges will be obtainable
free of charge at the Registrar's of-
fice, starting this morning. The badg-
es will admit no one to the dinner
without a ticket, but will gain admis-
sion to the 'main floor for both the
concert tonight and the championship
high school debate, tomorrow night, in
Hill auditorium.

EXPECT 4,000_AT DEBATE
Latest neports from the Extension
office indicate that a record-breaking
crowd will be in Hill auditorium on
Friday night when Royal Oak and
Zeeland will meet in the Eleventh An-
nual State Championship debate of
the Michigan High School Debating
league.
Ninety-five high schools have notified
Prof. Gail E. Densmore, the speech de-
partment manager of the league, that
they will send delegates to the cham-
pionship contest. More than 2,000 vis-
'iting students are indicated from the
reports of the high school principals
to Professor Densmore. This num-
ber does not include ;the delegations
from either Royal Oak or Zeeland.
These schools are expected to bring
more than 900 delegates.
According to Professor Densmore,
Hill auditorium should be filled Fri-
day night. The Michigan School-
masters club will hold no meeting on
Friday night in order that the visiting
teachers can hear the debate. Con-
sidering that more than 3,000 high
school pupils are expected, there
should be at least 4,000 people pre-
sent to hear Royal Oak debate with
Zeeland on the question: "Resolved,
That the direct primary system, of
nominating candidates for public of-
fice in the United States should be
abolished."
Occupying a place of interest only
secondary to that of the championship
debate is the High School Pupil-
Teachers conference which will be
held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
President Clarence Cook Little will
deliver the main address of this con-
ference on the topic, "Why Go to Col-
lege."
Registrar Ira A. Smith will preside
at the conference. The' conference is
for the purpose of answering any
questions in the minds of high school
seniors relating to their entrance to
any college or university. Question-
aires were sent out a month ago to
the principals of the high schools, ask-
ing them to send in a list of the
proposed questions.
