DESIRE REPRESENTATION Houses Must Send Delegations to Discussion at Union, ] States Gould. Preferential pleigig will be ex- plained to all heads of houses and rushing chairmen at the January m e e t i n g of the Interfraternity Council which will be ;eld at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night, in the Un- Ion. As there has been much misun- derstanding conce'ning the rules regulating the acual process of predging freshmen,' it is imperative that every fraternity have two dele- gates at the meeting, according to Howard Gould, '32, ecretary-areas- urer. Violations Not iscussed, Violations of rushing rules will. not be discussed at this time be- cause they are dealt with by the; judiciary committee of the Inter- fraternity council. To date, offi- cers of the Council officially know of no violations of the rules except that of making dates in advance for the concentrated rushing per-. iod. The dates were declared null and void at the las meeting of the judiciary committee. No further action was taken because it was believed that the dates were made without knowledge of the rules. Gould admitted that there have been rumors of the infractions of the rules and urged that anyone wishing to m a k e a complaint against a house file a notification with the judiciary committee.

Appearing for the second time in as many years, the Don Cossack Russian chorus will give a concert at 8:15 o'clock tomorrow evening in Hill auditorium. Serge Jaroff, fiery Russian conductor, will again lead the organization. The Russian chorus, pronounced by critics as the finest organization of its kind in the world, is com- posed of expatriated soldiers who have remained together ever since 1917. The chorus has toured near- ly all over the world and its con- certs have run into the thousands. Tomorrow night, in addition to the works that have brought them fame, the chorus will offer a num- ber of songs never before heard in Ann Arbor.# Following the concert, a reception will be held for the chorus in the I ballroom of the Union by the Worn- exn's and Men's Glee clubs. All three organizations will entertain at the event, the two glee clubs with songs and the chorus with dances for which they are equally noted. STAR TRACK TWINS FIGURE IN MISHAP Dale A. and Dalton G.

The resolution, one of two out- lined by the Council, was passed as the means of settling the contro- versy betwelen the administration and the. Literary College in regard to the questionnaire. The second resolution states the belief of the Council in the value of such a ques- tionnaire, pd instructs the form to be filled out or the information be communicated to the adminis- tration in some other manner. Revealed Last Night. Passage of these resolutions did not come to light until last night, thus giving a new angle to the mat- ter. The -resolutions unanimously passed, closed the incident, it was officially stated. Along with the discussion center- ing on the Council communication, the literary college gave its approv- al to t h e current examination schedule, and at the same time announced that a permanent schedule was being drawn up. This schedule, Dean John R. Ef- finger, of the literary college, said, is so designed as to work automati- cally. It is being prepared by Dr. Daniel L. Rich, director of classifi- cation, and Prof. John F. Shepard, of the psychology department. The nature of the new plan will not, be made pu ,'.ie until approved by the Literary College. Opposes Questionnaire. Opposition to the administratioml qluestionnaire, which, among other things, sought to learn the maner in which faculty members of the college were apportioning t h e i r time in respect to the number of hours spent in preparation of class- es and lectures, student conferen- ces, personal research, faculty and committee meetings and other de-, tails, was voiced in a resolution adopted Jan. 7. The resolution in- structed the delegates of the col- lege on the University Council to. raise the question/before that body. PLANS[OR qNSPRINC Cap Night, Track Meet Featured on Program Beginning May 6. Entertainment plans for Spring Homecotning, to be held on May 6, 7, and 8 were drawn up yesterday at a meetingof the Homecoming committee which is composed of student leaders, Joseph A. Bursley, dean of students, T. Hawley Tap- ping, of the alumni asosciation. Cap night will be the first feature on the program. At this time the freshmen class burns its 'pots'; at a bon fire built in Sleepy Hol- low. This will be held on Friday, dVay 6. A dual track meet with Jllinoi, will be the main attraction on Sat- urday. On the same day the Union will hold a fathers and sons ban- quet and the League will hold a mothers and daughters luncheon. Spring Homecoming, which was held for the first time last year, is sponsored by the Union. Its pur- pose, according to Hugh R. Conk- lin, '32E, Union president, is to give the returning alumni an opportun- ity to see the University under nor- mal operating circumstances, some- thing that they cannot see at Fali Homecoming because of the excite- ment of a football weekend.

A bill prepared from a draft writ- ten by Prof. James K. Pollock, of the Political Science department, providing for regulation of expenses in all Federal ele'tions, is to be vot- ed on in the United States Senate within the next two months, it has been learned. The 441was first introduced by Senator Nye, of North Dakota, on December 19, 1931. The Senate committee on campaign expendi- tures, to which the bill was refer- red, made its report on December 21, recommending the new bill in its entirety. A part of this report, as set forth, in the Congressional Record for De- cember 21, refers tp the bill as "based upon a draft prepared at the request of the chairman byI Prof. James K. Pollock, of the Uni- versity of Michigan."1 It is understood that the new bill now awaiting consideration on the floor of the Senate is the most complete and comprehensive regu- lation of the subject ever presented to Congress. a good deal of attention. \ In one of these, the Senate directed Attorney- General Mitchell to investigate conditions on the islands which havc expressed them- selves in an assault upon the wife cif a naval officer and the subse- quent killing of one of the men charged with the attack. Prohibition hearings on beer were continued before a Senate com- mittee and coming from them,Sen- ator Brookhart, Republican, Iowa, charged the press was giving too much attention to the claims and agitations of the wets. He said an investigation was likely unless the. situation was remedied. Before the committee, Dr. Wil- liam Gerry Morgan, former presi- dent of the American Medical Association, advocated 4 per cent beer, asserting it would help' condi- tions generally. The House took up the $2,000,000,- 000 reconstruction corporation mea- sure only today but the Senate has had it under consideration for sev- eral days and worked late in its effort to get a vote. Mindful of their promise to pass the economic rehabilitation bill to- day, the Senators kept their seats, as opponents of the proposal did most of the talking. Senator Blaine, Republican, Wisconsin, assailed it in a lengthy speech. One of Blaine's objections to it was that it would not provide relief for farmers and the Senate added $50,000,000 to the measure for farm loans. Other economic measures are ex- pected to follow disposal of the bill which President Hoover has earn- estly urged to help business. S 's G G E 1 Norman Thomas Tells of Conditions Among American Working Classes By Norman Kraft . Extraordinary contrasts between the living conditions of the rich, and poor; 10,000,000 unemployed,, one third of the national popula- tion indecently housed. Coal miners living in miserable huts unfit to be the habitations of animals, one fourth of the popula- tions of our cities living in dilapi- dated firetrap tenement houses, apartment renting for $75,000 a year. That was the picture of how America lives painted by Norman Thomas, head of the American socialist party, in his lecture at Lydia Mendelssohn theatre last night. A capacity crowd attended the lecture which was transferred at the last minute from Natural Science auditorium and even then hundreds were turned away. "In 1928 I would have needed to explode the myth that America was living well," Thomas said. "I would have needed to point 'out that, al- though our average living stand- ards were higher than those of any nation in the world and higher than any in history, we do not live on averages. They would then have find the worker looking ahead with " dread to old age. We find factories off evading old age benefits by turning a f out older employees and hiring one younger men. When the workers in toe the West Virginia coal mines come cats to get their wages they find that mu they are actually owing the coi- han pany for house rent, doctors' fees, Ind for groceries purchased from the ed company for scrip, thirty to fifty upo per cent above current prices. "In the depression year of 1930, wh income tax returns showed that for there were 149 incomes of over $1,- lyo 000,000. We are faced with an en- toX tirely new condition, the poverty of don overproduction. The only hope of his the country lies in the destruction say of wheat and cotton. The greatest Ru discomfort is the feeling that it be need not be. ban Mr. Thomas, in an interview con after his lecture last night, stated can that the Socialist party contem- pro plates as vigorous a presidential lap campaign as possible.
