to Be Selected.
NEW YORK, April 6. - (P) --
Bruised knuckles and blackened'
eyes were evidence tonight of the
seriousness with which Columbia
University students went about their
efforts to obtain-and oppose-the
reinstatement of Reed Harris, ex-
pelled editor of The Spectator,
student publication.
teveral women students were
hurt slightly late in the day in a
pitched battle between striking and
non -striking students directly be-
neath the window of' President
Nicholas Murray Butler's office.
Tear gas had been used earlier
in a melee on the library steps
where numerous strikers had made
speeches.
Harris, whose editorials charged
among other things professionalism
on the football team, was absent
from the campus which resumed its
quiet after 3 p.m., following conclu-
Election of Pledges
by Ph Beta Kappa
Shrouded in Secrecy
Pledges to Phi Beta Kappa, na-
tional honorary scholastic frater-
nity, have been selected, but they
will not be announced until April
29, Dr. Orma F. Butler, secretary of
the local chapter, said yesterday.
The society voted at the annual
meeting yesterday afternoon to
send invitations to a number of
students and elected officers for the
next year. The list of new members,
however, cannot be revealed until
after the initiation ceremony at the
end of the month.
Prof. James W. Glover, of the
mathematics and insurance depart-
ment, was named to the presidency
of -the organization for the succeed-
ing year. Professor Butler was re-
elected secretary, and Prof. A. R.
Crittenden, of the Latin depart-
ment, was selected to serve as a'
member of the executive depart-
ment three years. The new officials
will take up their posts May 6
after the annual banquet.

sion of most classes. Strike leaders
said the one-day demonstration was
'15 per cent effective, as they' ad-'
journed the mass meetings and
speech-making until Friday while
preparing to return to classes as
usual tomorrow.
Vociferous partisans of Barris
who attempted to "gag" the large
and gilded statue of alma mater in
front of the library caused a near
riot as they flaunted a 15-foot strip
of black crepe before the group
they loudly dubbed "the athletic
crowd."!
A moment after Arthur old-
schmidt soundly proclaimed his
"sad duty to announce that we are
going to gag alma mater," the crepe
was the medium of a tug-'o-war. As
he started to climb .the statue, a
watchman tried to pull him down.
The ranks of the strikers were
parted by a flying wedge of be-
sweatered and noticeably husky
young men coming to the watch-
man's aid.
Shelly Wood, six-foot oarsman,
grabbed the crepe and his team-
mates hustled up. The athletes were
vastly outnumbered, but when the
tussle was over they were dragging
the crepe in the general direction
of the gymnasium, with o}ne strug-
gling figure still hanging on.

League for Prohibition Reform
Denounces Congressman
as Undemocratic.'
A ch rge that Earl C. Michener.
representative from the second dis-
trict in Congress, acted in an "un-
democratic manner" in the recentt
vote against the proposal to submit
to the states the problem of prohi-
bition control, was voiced here' yes-
terday by the Women's Organiza-
tion for Prohibition Reform, an or-
ganization which, it was hinted
will launch a campaign to defeat
him in the next congressional elec-
tion.
The charge against Michener was
made by Mrs. Myron B. Vorse, of
Detroit, vice-chairman of the state
division in charge of organization,
at a meeting held in the League.
Other plans, if any, pertaining to
a probable campaign, were not dis-
closed.
After terming existing conditions
"intolerable," the discussion was
enlivened by questioning of pro-
ponents of the present plan, among
them Mrs. Thomas H. Reed and
Mrs. Victor Brown, of Ann Arbor.
both actively associated with anti-
saloon league activities.
Mrs. Frederick M. Alger of De-
troit, state chairman, said, "Never
was there such a challenge to
American women to fight ftir the
future of their country. Patriotic
women must answer it; we must
throw aside their timidity. We must
strive to bring about temperane
and to do so must defeat our worst
enemy, even as we fought the sa-
loon 12 years ago."

InspeCtion Confirms
Fire Damage FigureP
Inspection of th w fifth floor
of Mosher, dormitory yesterday
by members of the buildings
and grounds staff confirmed
the damage figure of $1500 due
to the fire Tuesday night. The
inspection also revealed that
defective wiring could not have -
been the cause of the blaze, but
that a drsser lamp, the shade
of which caught. on fire, prob-
ably started the fire.
Buildings and grounds offi-
cials stated last night that re-
pairs would commence Friday
morning, and would be com-
pleted before the end of Spring
vacation. Only one room in
which the fire started, and the
opposite room, were damaged
by flames, the remaining loss
being due to smoke and water.

The president of the Student
Council will be elected on May 18
in the regular all campus elections

was decided at a meeting of this
body last night.
Before the changes can go into
effect, an amendment to the con-
stitution must be passed by the
Council and approved by the Sen-
ate Committee of Student Affairs,
it was announced.

Caricatures Campus
Self-esteem and dignity of stud-
ents all over the campus have been
falling victims to the cogent cari-
catures of Leonard C. Ward, trav-
eling sketch-maker who has been
visiting fraternities and sororities
during the last two weeks.
Ward, who has been caricaturing
for the past three years in colleges
in various plarts of the country,
glances swiftly at a profile of his
subject and somehow manages to
draw a true resemblance, and at
the same time distort slightly ir-
regular features mercilessly.
While onlookers laugh raucously
Ward spreads a nose over half. a
page and plays havoc with a reced-
ing chin, and as the crestfallen
subject looks sheepishly at the fin-
islted product "friends" assure him
that it's a perfect likeness. The
peculiar part of it is that no one
seems satisfied until he has seen hi
own countenance in wild lines of
black anl white.
Ward works siftly, taking about
as much time per caricature as it
takes you to read this article, yet
he never erases and rarely starts
-over.
"Sororities are good places to
work in," Ward td one group of
fellows last night, "the girls are
good sports about seeing their faces
in comic and then most of them
come around on the sly to have me
do one, and see how 'good looking'
I can make it." -
Ward will "work" Michigan until
this summer vacation.

WASHINGTON, April 6. - (P) -
The center of congressional discus-

today caused another trip to th(
capitol\ by Secretary Mills and en-
suing criticism of several of the
measure's provision before the
Senate finance committee.
Meanwhile, consideration of th
independent offices appropriatior
measure brought a scathing attack
upon the farm board from Rep
Woodrum (D. Va.) in which h
assailed the salaries paid employee:
of cotterm and grain co-operatives.
He put the blame on the board
and Rep. Vincon (D. Ga.) chime
in with a demand that it be abol-
ished. It found a defender, however
in Rep. Simmons (R. Neb.).
Secretary Mills called for lowe
income taxes in the pending meas-
ure and made other suggestions fo
changes. Meanwhile, two Demo
cratic senators, Walsh of Massa-
chusetts and Tydings of Maryland
started a movement to keep furthe
tariff levies out of the bill.
The recommendations by Prohi-
bition Director Woodcock of th
prohibition bureau, and Commis-
sioner Doran of the industria
alcohol bureau, drew attention be-
fore a House judiciary sub-commit
tee. They suggested abolition of th
10-day time limit on prescription
of whisky by physicians. ,
The World Court issue was befor

mittee once more. Secretary Stim.

rights of the United States are full

THREE NEGRO PLAYS OF GRADUATE
STUDENT WILL BE ENACTED HERE
By James H. Inglis.
As a result of the discovery of
what is believed to be a first rate
playwright among the drama stud-
ents of the graduate English de-
partment, three one-act negro folk
plays will be presented April 22 at
the Mendelssohn theatre. p
Doris Price, grad., a member of
the negro race herself, during the
past year has written "The Bright
Medallion," "The Eyes of the Old,"
and "Sokta," which taken together
comprise the most exceptionally
fine piece of drama composition
which has been discovered here
within the past several years, in the
ooinion of Prof. Kenneth T. Rowe
philosophical solliloquy of an aged
and blind negress. This speech,
ProfessordRowe said, is the climax
of the play and depends on the
beauty of the speech rhythm.
Unlike the other pieces, "The
Bright Medallion" has a large cast,
has a complicated plot structure,
and provides a lively sequence of
plot episodes. "These plays," Pro-
fessor Rowe stated, "are unlike
anything I have ever read."
Delta Sigma Theta, negro society
of the College of the City of Detroit,
will produce the play and bring it
to Ann Arbor for production under
the auspices of the English depart-
ment a'nd Play Production. The
