CREATES FELLOWSHIPS
Action Made Public By President
Little At Alumni Banquet
In Washington
Twelve thousand dollars, the an-
inta1 appropriation for the next
tw o years for the creation of sev-
eral alumni fellowships which was
made by the Board of Regents at
its October meeting as the first.
step towards the proposed Alumni
xniversty, was formally announced
tor the first time last night at the
Natonal Alumni dinner at the
Mgayflower hotel in Washington
D.C., by President Clarence Cook
Little, originator of the alumni col-
lege Idea at Michigan.
More than two hundred alumni
0rom all over the country were
present at the dinner which was
auflange by the University of
Micigan club of Washington for
all those alumni who plan to at-
teod he Michigan-Navy football
sane this afternoon in Baltimore.
scott- Turner, president of the
Washington club introduced Regent
4mes E. Murfin, '96L, the toast-
iter of the affair who in turn
initroduced the speakers, including
E T.;Ottoway, president of the
University of Michigan Alumni
taseiation, who spoke for the al-
umn4i association. Coach Fielding
. Yost, and President Little were
the other principal speakers.
Wiat the Board appropriation
announced by President Little real-
Smeans is that the Alumni Uni-
virsnf that he suggested a year
gwill probably be on a firm
ing basis by February, and that
hgan has made one of the first
ps in solving the greatest prob-
ien of the modern university, that
bringing the graduate in closer
6oztact with the University after
his graduation and enabling him to
ontinue his education in impor-.
taut. matters after he is oitr of
choo.
'Essentially, the Alumni univer-
sity plan aims to create co-opera-
tion betwen the University and her
graduates in two ways. First there
are benefits to be received by the
University in the way of alumni
support, gifts, help, advice; then, I
there is also the desire to bring the
University more actively to the al-
umni. The ten-year program which
is already well under way with the
building of the first dormitories
this year and the organization of
the Alumni association promise to
fulfill the first part of the univer-
slty plan.
,Although no definite action or
program has been arranged to take
advantage of the recent Board ac-
tion, It is understood that Presi- :
dent Little and the officers of the
Alumni association intend to select
several alumni who as the Michi-
gan Alumnus of this week explains
it, "will act as liaison officers be-
tween the graduates who are seek-
ing to establish contacts with the
University and the Faculty." Their
duties will consist mainly of en-
couraging the continuation of
these fellowships on an intellectual
basis so as to give alumni an oppor-
tunity to revive their waning in-'
spiration and desire for knowledge
after they have left school.
The question of alumni -relations
is playing a big part in modern
education and is becoming one of
the biggest problems of the univer-
sity administration of today. A
meeting of representatives of the
American Alumni council and the
American Association for Adult Ed-
ucation held at Vassar col-
lege recently, discussed the ques-
tion of whether there was any ob-
ligation on the part of the Univer-
sity to continue educating its stu-
dents after they have left school.
The meeting at Vassar decided
that the university very definitely
owed something to its graduates
and should continue the education-
al process as far as possible. This
action served as impetus to the
Michigan plan.

PLAN PUBLICATIONS PAMPHLET
TO BE SENT TO FIRST YEAR MEN
Plans are now being formulated
for the preparations of a publica-
tions phamphet which will be sent
to all members of the freshman
class shortly before the close of
the first semester, it was announc-
ed yesterday.
The new pamphlet will contain,
among other things, pictures of the
interior of the Press building and
a description of aims and func-
tions as well as the opportunities
for experience offered on the major
student publications which are
under the supervision of the.Board
in Control of Student publication'
and have their offices in the Press
building.
Occupying the major center of
interest in the booklet will be
comments upon the three ranking
publications upon the campus
the Gargoyle, the campus humor
magazine, the Michiganensian, an-
nual publication of the senior
classes, and The Michigan Daily,
the campus newspaper.
Freshman are eligible to try out
for work upon the publications
during their second semester of
residence on the campus. Because
of the fact that the larger number
of freshmen enter in the fall, reg-

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON,,Nov. 9.-Alanson
B. Houghton announced today fol-
lowing a conference with President
Coolidge that he will sail next
Wednesday to resume his post as
ambassador to Great Britain prob-
bly for the remainder of the pres-
ent administration.
Mr. Houghton said that his re-
signation, which was made effec-
tive at the president's pleasure,
was still in Mr. Coolidge's hands,
but that it had been agreed, fol-
lowing his defeat for United States
Senator from New York, that he
return to represent this country at
the court of St. James.
Shortly after Mr. Houghton's
nomination as Republican candi-
date for senator from New York,
he tendered his resignation, Mr.
Coolidge acknowledged receipt of
Mr. Houghton's communication
and in the same letter expressed
regrets for the loss of the latter's
services thereby creating the im-
pression that he had accepted the
resignation.
The fact that. Mr. Houghton is
returning to his post is accepted
as showing that President Coolidge
did not accept the resignation.
Towns Are Destroyed
By Streams of Hot Lava
(By Associated Press)
CATANIA, Sicily, Nov. 9-Another
Sicilian villege has fallen to the
all-devouring lava.which continues
to pour from Mount Etna. Nunzi-
ata tonight was undergoing the
same fate as its neighbor village,
Maxcali, which already was com-
pletely burned and buried under
the advancing flow.
Only a part of Nunziata had'been
destroyed, but it had been com-
pletely evacuated by its inhabitants
t who feared the same fate that
overtook three men of Maxcali
whose escape was cut off, while
they slept, by the advancing lava
stream.
The smoking volcano as wmore
active tonight than for some hours.
The principal fiery stream that it
had disgored had reached a point
of only 60 meters from the rail-;
way station of Maxcali and was
proceeding inexorably onward at
a rate of 50 meters an hour. The
northern stream of lava had joined
this larger and central one. The
third and southernmost stream was
within 100 feet of the railway
bridge at Giarre and advancing at
the rate of 32 feet a hour.
The spirits of the Sicilians, who
have dwelt for generations in the
shadows cast by the giant who per-I
iodically has aroused itself to real)
destruction, are undaunted. The in-
habitants of . Maxcali have been
comforted by the government's
promise to rebuild their town.
Pass Books To Admit
ular tryout periods are conducted
shortly after the beginning of the
.spring semester each year and ex-
tend over the larger portion of the
semester.
The editorial and the business
staffs of each of the publication'
conduct tryouts at this time. Thc
work they offer includes actual ex-
perience in selling advertising,
writing advertising copy, account-
ing, bookkeeping, and in the prob-
lems of sales and distribution witi-
the business staffs; and an oppor
tunity for expression in virtually
every kind of editorial work.
In this field, The Daily offers
perhaps the widest opportunities
as its reporters cover the entire
campus each day and have oppor-
tunities to gain experience in the
writing of editorial comment aE
well as in the preparation of crit-
icisms of music, drama, and books

Takes Long Walks And rides With
Wife Over Scenes Of Their
College Day Romance
(By Associated Press)
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
Nov. 9.-Passing into the third day
of rest from the strain of contest,
Herbert Hoover went to what is be-
coming a regular schedule for the
period that will precede his plunge
into national affairs as the certi-
fied chief of the party in power.
After an early breakfast, with
the next First Lady of the Land,
the president-elect went with her
for the favorite walk over the
sun-dripped hills, accompanied by
an escort of secret service men. Re-
tracing their steps over the paths
that have known them in their
college days, he turned to his desk
and she to an automobile ride.
Gives Time To Work
Unable to give himself complete-
ly over to relaxation even in this
period of rest, Hoover spent con-
siderable time in digging into the
pile of correspondence that con-
tinues to accumulate. He worked
more leisurely than usual, however,
in his broad, comfortable study,
with his desk facing a window be-
neath which unfolds a view of the
red-top roofs of Stanford Univer-
sity, the valley below and in the
distance SaneFrancisco Bay and
the rolling foothills of the coast
range. The president-elect seldom
leaves his home, except Jfor his
early morning walk and the after-
noon ride. This takes him and
Mrs. Hoover down the valley where,
turning away from the regular
traffic into byroads, they climb into
the mountains over a narrow,
winding automobile road that
twists precariously in and out
around the shoulder of the hills.
Now and then the road seems to
curve into the terrain itself and
ahead looms in its stead a perfect
view of the peaceful countryside
below.
Cabinet Not Settled
Although the president-elect has
given little thought to the identity
of the various members of his offi-
cial family March 4, there had al-
ready arisen considerable specula-
tion concerning its makeup. , The
name of J. R. Howard of Clemens,
Iowa, was thrust today into the list
of those Hoover was said to be con-
sidering for secretary of agricul-
ture.
Howard, long a friend of the
president-elect, is president of the
farm bureau, and was associated
with Hoover in his work during the
World war. Two - others, Dante
Pierce, Des Moines farm paper
publisher, and Senator Arthur
Capper of Kansas, also have been
mentioned for the post, but the
probabilities are that it will be
many weeks before the executiv
elect come to any definite deter-
mination upon the subject.
OPINIONS
The editors of The Daily call
to the attention of their readers
two things. The first of these
is that the sentiment expressed
on page one of The Daily of
Wednesday morning of this week
is by no means the sentiment
of The Daily staff. The error
is to be regretted.
The second is that several of
the communications received in
the last two days have been un-
available for publication in the
Campus Opinion column because
of a ruling of the Board in Con-
trol of Student Publications
which states that all communi-
cations must be signed by the
writer. The attention of the
writer is called tothe fact that
anonymous letters cannot be
published in fairness to The
Daily.

.DOCTOR'S DiLEMMA"
TO OPENGUILD RUN
Repertory Company To Give Series
Of Plays At Whitney, Starting
Next Wednesday
IS TYPICALSHAW SATIRE
Opening next Wednesday night,
Nov. 14, with Bernard Shaw's "The
Doctor's Dilemma," the Repertory
company of the New York Theater
Guild will offer a run of four plays
on successive Mondays and Wed-
nesdays at the Whitney theater.
"The Doctor's Dilemna" chosen
for the opening performances is an
amusing satire on the medical pro-
fession, with typical Shavian char-
acterization saving the dramatic
values, and sharp travesties on the
innoculators, the vivisectionists, and
the fashionable quacks.
In it, moreover, the great Irish
dramatist, with his delicacy of sen-
timent, has accomplished the seem-
ingly impossible-made high com-
edy of death - killed his hero and
given the audience grace to smile.
Finished by Shaw in 1906, the
play has had various successful
runs in London, Cologne, Berlin,
New York, and on the road in this
country. The Theater Guild sent
the production, which will be seen
in Ann Arbor, on tour after a long
engagement in New York, and in-
cluded in the repertory company
many actors who have had parts
in the Guild's leading successes.
Among them are Elizabeth Risdon,
Peg Entwistle, Robert Keith, Bea-
trice Hendrick, P. J. Kelly, and
Warburton Gamble.
"The Doctor's Dilemma" will be
followed Monday night, Nov. 19, by
"The Second Man," another high
comedy, "Ned McCobb's Daughter,"
on Wednesday night, Nov. 28, a
comedy with a serious, underlying
theme, and "John Ferguson" on
Monday night, Dec. 3, a genre tra-
gedy of terrific power.

son tickets are now on sale by the

son.

bound Illini with another success challenged by a powerful crew
of Middies who are confident that they can turn back the invader:
as they did two years ago, prospects are unusually bright for one

The average of 20 leading indus-

a slightly smaller gain in the aver-
age of 20 leading railroad shares.

lished new high records ongains of
$5 to $12 a share.
Committee Sets Date
For Sophomore Dance
mately 60,004 people will witness
the contest.
Both teams will take the fleld
determined to win. Michigan has
yet a chance to finish out the sea-
son successfully, despite her early
losses, while Navy has an oppor-
tunity to even the series at .twc
all.
Coach Tad Wieman's determined
Michigan squad arrived here this
morning and immediately took ,up
their quarters in the Southern Ho-
tel. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the
players tested the sod in the Muni-
cipal stadium, going through a
lengthy limbering up drill that con
sisted of punting, passing, anc
signal practice.
Gembis In Hospital
With the exception of Joe Gem-
bis, who was left in Ann Arbor
suffering with appendicitis, th
Wolverine squad appears to be it
the best possible condition for thi
coming battle.

Squier May See Action
It was intimated by Coach Wie

While the M.ize and Blue lin
will hold a considerable weight ad

will offset this margin in the back
field. The Michigan line average
193 pounds as compared to 182 fc
Navy. The Middy backs tip th
scales at 177, and the Wolverine
at 161.
Wheeler and Simrall, the Mich
