Issue to Appear Wednesday;

Although the issue is not special-
ized to the extreme, the general
theme of the February number of
the Gargoyle is the J-Hop and its
attndant incidents with references
here and there to the examination
period. The issue will make its
appearance next ,Wednesday on the
campus.
The cover is especially seasonal
and deals with the examination
situation which' is augmented in
the book by some comments on
the marking system, in the lignt
of the recent movement to change
the system of grades.
"Hints for the J-Hop," by Harry
Price, '33, will be for the aid of
the students who are about to at-
tend their first J-Hop and house
party. Along the same line, there
is an article on "J-Hop Substitutes,"
intended more for those who don't
go to the party and who must find
other ways of spending their time
on Friday night.
Another of the class party fea-
tures is the "Bootleggers' Guide,"
for those whom the Gargoyle sus-
pects will be unusually active on
the night of Feb. 13. "Further Cures
for Athletes' Foot," by Gurney Wil-

LAINON ADDRSE
AUMNI MEETING
Emphasizes Growing Need to Sell
the College to Alumni
and Undergraduates.
The district convention of the'
American Alumni council closed
with a luncheon at the Union yes-
terday noon, at which President
Alexander Grant Ruthven was the
guest of honor. T. Hawley Tapping
presided.
J. Fred Lawton, '11, one of Michi-
gan's most active alumnus, in a
short address stressed the growing
need of selling the college to both
undergraduates and alumni of the
University.
"Students of today need a great
deal more selling than they used
to," he said, "and consequently
when considering alumni of more
recent years we should realize this
and allow more salesmanship in
alumni work."
Lawton emphasized the point that
20 years ago every student was
heart and soul for his college, but
that today this feeling and loyalty
toward school tradition is lacking
and therefore must be aroused by
active alumni work. He concluded
by saying that bringing the alumni
back to football games is a good
way to sell them what they should
have been sold in school.
President Ruthven on behalf of
the University, welcomed the vari-
ous alumni secretaries attending
the meeting and briefly outlined
the work that the school is doing
in alumni lines.
G. Carl Huber, dean of the
Graduate school and director of
the Michigan Alumni association,
described the job of alumni secret-
ary as an enviable one in that a
person in this position is more
intimately connected with all parts
of a school than anyone outside
of a president. He also labled alum-
ni associations as strictly American
institutions.
The luncheon and the morning
meeting which preceded it at Stark-
weather hall, Ypsilanti, concluded
the program of the convention.

the past 12 years has been blind,
learned today that he may recover
his sight. King received a message
last night informing him that oil
has been discovered on some land
owned by his brother in Oklahoma,
and that the income from the oil
well will be devoted to an operation
which surgeons think will restore
the sight of at least one eye.

The great international aspect of
Michigan's alumni was pointed out
by T. Hawley Tapping. "Michigan is
of thew orld," he said. "Sons and,

nations and in the stations of far
away provinces doing their bits in
the world and profiting by the in-
spirations which this campus gave
them."
G. Carl Huber concluded the
speaking program with an address
pointing to the activities of the
alumni in the past years as well as
their prososed activities under the
ten year program.
COMISIN ANTS
Messages were sent to the 75,000
alumni of the University last night
in a special "Alumni Night" pro-
gram broadcast from the Univers-
ity studio over WJR. J. Fred Law-
ton, '11, handled the role of an-
nouncer. The speakers were Presi-I
dent Alexander G. Ruthven, G.
Carl Huber, dean of the graduate
school, T. Hawley Tapping, editor
of the Michigan Alumnus, and
Helen M. Gore, chairman of the
Alumnae association.
"Institutions of higher learning
always have had and ever will have
unsolved problems in the general
field of education," said President
Ruthven in his address to the
alumni. He went on to say that the
University had been going through
ap eriod of expansion, and that
during this period many problems
pertinent to the training of youth
had been neglected.
Helen M. Gore in her talk pointedj
for a record vote and appeared to
be in position to get the first test
of this kind in the Senate since
national prohibition became effec-
tive. Bingham said he did not be-
lieve President Hoover favored his
proposal.
Bingham Offers Beer Vote.
Bingham's bill was offered as a
substitute for the pending Howell
bill established a drastic enforce-
ment act for the District of Colum-
bia. The Howell bill, under attack
from the outset by both drys and
wets, opened the flood gates of pro-
hibition oratory. It was still pend-
ing tonight and offered an opening
for much further discussion on pro-
hibition.
The Bingham beer measure was
sidetracked for disposition of an
amendment by Senator Blaine, Re-
publican, Wisconsin, to strike from
the Howell bill provisions allow-
ing search and seizure in homes
upon evidence that stills are oper-
ating in them or that liquor is de-
livered to them or removed from
them.
It was this provision which was
condemned by drys as .well as wets.
Senator H o w e 11, Republican, Ne-
braska, author of the bill, said it
was necessary to keep Washing-
ton from continuing as "the sanc-
tuary of bootleggers." He conceded
that Attorney General Mitchell had
opposed the provision.
