Prof. A. D. Moore of the engi-
neering school discussed the gener-
al plan for handling incoming en-
gineering freshmen and described
the Mentor system by which a com-
plete check-up will be made of the
progress of the student. He told the
prospective engineering freshmen
not to worry about the apparent
large size of the University, adding
that the first year class in the en-
gineering college numbers but 400
which he described as being only
"a large roomful."
Fourth on the program was Ad-
viser of Women Alice C. Lloyd who
surveyed the situation from the
standpoint of women. Miss Lloyd
outlined some of the women's rules
and told her listeners something of
the facilities that await next year's
freshman women.
President Alexander G. Ruthven
closed the one-hour broadcast with
a general welcome to prospective
members of the class of 1934 in
which he said that those who are
sincere in wanting an education.
have an inclination and capacity
for work, and are anxious to fit into
the social group will not fail to gain
the utmost from a University ca-
reer.
The University band, under the
direction of Nicholas Falcone pre-
sented several musical features dur-
ing the hour which was the last of
the 1930-1931 Michigan night radio
series.

IS UTILITIES AUTHORITY
Arthur H. Ryall, '02L, of Escana-
ba, one of the foremost public util-
ity lawyers in the United States,
will' deliver a' series of- tw C, e
on the sub.ject of Practice before
Public Utilities commissions at 2
o'clock and 3 o'clock tomorrow aft-
ernoon in room C in the Law build-
ing. The lecture will be open to the
public.I
Mr. Ryall has spent many years
in practice before the public utili-
ties commissions of Michigan, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and other
states, and is a recognized authority
on the subject. He isa member of
the National Conference of Com-
missioners on Uniform State Laws
from Michigan, and as a member
of that Conference, he participated
in the framing of the Uniform Pub-
lic Utilities act. Mr. Ryall is a non-
resident lecturer on the faculty of
the Law school.
His lectures will deal with some
of the practical phases of practice1
before public utilities commissions,j
and especially with the details ne-
cessary to be proved in the es-
tablishment of public utility ratesj
and rate schedules.
FAVORS SELECTED
FOR R.O.T.C. BALL,
'Grab Bag' Plan for Awarding
Gifts Planned.
An assortment of more than 20 1
different types of articles has been
chosen by the committee in chargef
of the Military Ball to be distri-'
buted at the annual formal dance;
to be held from 9 to 2 o'clock Fri-
day night in the Union ballroom,
according to plans outlined by
George M. Ryerson, '31, generall
chairman.
The "grab bag" favor plan will be
introduced to the campus at thisl
party. Similar plans have been
used at a number of university J-
Hops, University of Miami, Colum-
bia university, Boston Tech, South-
ern Methodist college at Dallas,
and in several other eastern schools
where the idea was received en-
thusiastically.
Campbell Will Appear
in Series of Readings"
Opening the first of a series of
faculty readings, Prof. 0. J. Camp-
bell will present a program of se-
lected readings from poems and
plays at 4 o'clock today in the
Grand Rapids room of the League
building. As a special privilege,
only ,,rints mmill hP n jm rit fn,
companied classification ensured
its success. Limited at that time to
upperclassmen, a significant fact
of the newly initiated system, ac-
cording to Professor Rich, isthe
fact that over ninety percent of
the, upperclassmentookadvantage
of the opportunity to classify
early.
The fear that election of courses
in December would result in an un-
usually large number of changes
of elections at the beginning of the
second semester turned out to be
largely unfounded, and the total
number of changes thus far this
semester has only slightly ex-
ceeded that of last semester.
Other Colleges Favor Plan.
Early classification, procedure as
instituted in several of the larg-
er universities in the United States,c
has proved distinctly successful, it{
was revealed by an investigation3
made before the decision was
reached to put in effect spring
classification for October courses.
According to the new plan, each
student who so desired will com-
pletely fill out his election card
and his class cards some time be-
fore commencement. These cards
will be compared with courses and
sections available, and if satisfac-
tory they will be accepted and
placed in an envelope bearing the
students name, to be held in the
I Registrar's office pending payment;
of fees next fall.!
When a student makes the pay-1
ment of his fees next fall, he will
simply have to hand in the proper
receipted coupon to the Director of
Classification. On receipt of this'
coupon showing fees have beenl
paid, the class cards previously fill-
ed out will immediately be released
and sent to the instructors chosen.
"Thus," said Professor Rich, "the
only line each student will have to
get into will be the one leading to.

Aldrich to Give Address.
The Rev. Dr. Aldrich has been
chosen to address the undergradu-
ate body at this time because of his
interest in the religious problems of
the younger generation, for, his
youthfulness, and because of his
reputation for being a brilliant
speaker.
The service will be the last of the
spring series sponsored by the
council and conducted by the Con-
vocations committee, of which
Stanton W. Todd, '30, is chairman;
Because of the possibility of a fi-
nancisl deficit in this undertaking,
a special appea is being made for
an extra large collection today. Sev-
eral of the previous collections have
not been sufficient to pay for the
speakers obtained, the chairman
states.
The Rev. Dr. Aldrich is a gradu-
ate of Dartmouth colege and the
Cambridge Divinity school.
Dalies Frantz, Julliard scholar of
the School of Music, has arranged

the committee.
Seniors to Parade Campus.
At the conclusion of the' convo-
cation services in the auditorium,
the seniors will parade out to North
University street. There, the ranks
will divide, and smaller groups of
students will march in bodies tow-
ard the various student residence
centers. One group will march out
Washtenaw, another down State

galls.
The parade will thus be in the
nature of the so-called Easter pa-
rade, it is pointed out by Justin F.
Way, '30, chairman of the Cane Day
committee, in that no formal route
of march will be followed. The sen-
iors, dressed in the height of sar-
torial elegance, will stroll about
A Ann Arbor's highways andbyways,
exhibiting to the world their ele-
