Philosophy and ideals of the undergraduate will come under searching inquiry and discussion at a conference to be held here during the second week of the next semester, according to an announcement that University authorities made yesterday in con- junction with various religious organizations sponsoring a six-day session to be held in Ann Arbor. The week's deliberations will be devoted to the problem of clearing up the present confusion about religion and its function in life that exists in the student mind. Leaders Will Talk.

Australian Selected as Governor-General (Bpi Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 2.-- Sir Isaac Alfred Isaacs, chief justice of Australia, was appointed gover- nor-general of that dominion today, the first Australian to be so honored. His appointment marked an important constitutional change in the relations between Great Britain and the self-governing dominions of the empire. Gov- ernors-general previously w;ere named directly by the home government without recommen- dation by the dominion, and hence, were Englishmen. Australia long has contended, however, that she should choose her own governor-general, and that he should be a native of the country. E! f i .I 1 AUTO PLATE SALE PASSES 100 MARK The distribution of 1931 auto li- cense plates, which were placed on general sale Monday, passed the 100 mark yesterday. Seventy-three sets of plates, the first to be issued, were sold Monday at the auto li- cense bureau in the Chamber of Commerce building. Owners of cars having new plates, may put them into immediate use,; it was said at the bureau. The Ann Arbor police department, together with the sheriff's office, has au- thorized use of the plates. Old plates, however, may be used until the time limit expires. Automobile owners, having titles to cars either out-of-state or for- eign, should make application for Michigan titles as soon as possible, Mrs. Edna Gee,. in charge of the' bureau, said. No license plates will be issued unless owners possess a Michigan title. The Weather Light snow Wednesday, much colder at night; Thursday snow flurries and rather cold.

Persons outside of the University, confused by the apparentness of the more mater- ial aspects of college life, are in- clined to overlook the fact that the religious growth of the stud- ent is going steadily forward, sometimes even without his full knowledge. A week of concentra- tion on spiritual values cannot fail to profit each of us. "Religious Emphasis Week" as the session of conferences has been named, scheduled for Feb. 22 to March 1, will come at a time when, the press of studies is at its lowest, it is believed. Besides this, the week is being kept clear of almost all outside activities such as plays, concerts, and basketball games through the co-operation of Dr. Ruthven, the deans of the various colleges and the chief organizations of the campus. As far as possible nothing will conflict with the sched- uled conferences and lectures. QUAKER'SRELIGION Anne Sprague, Detroit Society's Secretary, Views Belief as Entering New Era. A plea to members of the Tols- toy league to view the religion of the Society of Friends as one of the possible faiths of the future was made yesterday by Miss Anne Sprague, secretary of the Detroit Society of Quakers, in her speech "The Dawning Era's Religion" giv- en in Angell hall before this group. Miss Sprague stated that Quak- ers were thought of both in history and at the present time as paci- fists. However, they are not the type of pacifists. that have their rights infringed upon.
