Let A revelation of starvation condi- tions in the Ohio coal fields by two University students who have in- vestigated conditions there during the past spring recess has resulted in the instigation of an all campus drive to obtain supplies of food and clothing for the distressed miners. Starting next Wednesday the campaign will be waged by a com- mittee headed by Eugene Kuhne, '34, and backed by the Student Socialist club, the local council of religion and the liberal student's Union. Wilfred Sellars, '33, and Samuel Romer, '33, are the two students who took the trip of in- vestigation. Tell of Suffering. "We were horrified at the human suffering and misery among those 50,000 people in the Hocking Valley Area," they said. Operators are not held responsi- ble by the investigators for the situation. Chaotic conditions in the mining industry have brought about the present difficulties, they claim- ed. The industry has been over- capiIalized and over-developed. The United Mine Workers com- missaries are making every possible effort to relieve conditions, the in- vestigators said. "Those in charge of the commissaries tour the sur- rounding district and beg the farm- ers for wheat, pork, or corn to supply the strikers with the bare necessities of life. IThe Red Cross, because of its policy of not interfering in indus- trialydisputes, ref uses to alleviate conditions among the starving miners to any extent," said the in- vestigators, "and the Salvation Ar*ay is working with limited funds, dispensing religion with its few bowls of soup." Union rBehind Strike. The strike is being sponsored by the Union Mine Workers of Amer- ica. It began last February when wages were cut from $4 to $3 a day. Farmers and business men of the area are in sympathy with the strikers, according to the investi- gators.. Wages were high after the World war, but repeated cuts have finally caused the miners to rebel. "We have left the strike area," said the investigators, . "but the pleas of the mothers and wives have not left our ears. 'Boys!' they cried, 'when you get back into the world, into civilization, tell the stu- dents there of our condition. Tell them so they might send us some food or clothing. Old clothing, can- ned food, or anything, boys, any- thing!

British Budget Omits Reparations Provision WASHINGTON, April 19.--(IP)- Great Britain may have no plans for making its $171,500,000 debt in- stallment to this Country next year, but Washington has yet to be noti- fled. Revelation today that the new British budget omits any provision for reparations receipts or war debts payments in the year begin- ning in July had quick repercus- sions.

Brumm as to the nobility of the Ruthven signature, President Alex- ander G. Ruthven promised to abol- ish the journalism school as the first step in the University economy program in a clever program of razzing last night at the annual banquet of the University of Michi- gan club. of Ann Arbor. The editorial policy of a promin- ent Ann Arbor evening newspaper also came in for its share of the razzing, when Professor Bruim, of the journalism school, read an edi- torial purporting to be from the ONE PART OF THE MICHIGIANI CREED We believe that the student should be trained as an alunmus from matriculation; he enrolls in the University for life and, for better or worse, he will ever re main an integral part of the institution. We believe that the relatiois between the alumnus and~ his University should he beneficial to both, and that the mutual assist- ance provided by the graduates and by the institution should be limited only by their powers for service. We believe that, to the Univer-. sity, the alumnus is a member of a brotherhood boind by the spir-. itual tie of faith in the ideals of education. paper on the subject of Al Capone. In the editorial it was pointed out that while Capone was undoubkedly an undesirable character, on the other hand murderers do have their good points. After the reading of this editorial Ray Baker, editor of a prominent Ann Arbor evening paper was requested to take a bow. In a more serious vein, President Ruthven propounded a new creed for the closer co-operation between the University and the alumni, the text of which is reproduced here. As an illustration of this co-opera- tion, the President pointed out the development of the Michigan Un. dergraduate Scholarships, and in- troduced the three holders of such scholarships from the Ann. Arbor alumni club who are now in col- lege and who were the honor guests at the banquet. These three b o y s, John F. Schmidt, '35E, Victor P. Kayser, '35, and John H. Bollock, '35, were pre- sented with copies of the recently published book, "The First People of Michigan" by Dr. W. B. Hinsdale, international authority on Ameri- can archeology. MINE PLAY PICKED BYDRAMATIC CUBR BRAENDLE TOPS HITTING Ragged Playing Is Displayed by Both Feams; Petoskey Hits Homer. Five runs scored in the fifth in- aing enabled Michigan State Nor- mal to defeat Michigan at Ferry field yesterday,5-4, in the first reg- ularly scheduled contest of the sea- son for the Wolverines. The Huron tallies came as a result 'of three hits, a sacrifice, and an error by Braendle. With the exception of this one in- ning McNeal, who started on the mound for the Wolverines, pitched admirably. The other three hits collected off of him were widely scattered. Michaelis Hit Freely. Michaelis, who assumed the hur- ling duties for the Hurons, was hit more freely, but was aided by some poor base running on the part of the Wolverines. The Wolverines kicked away a wonderful scoring opportunity in the seventh inning when Tompkins was caught trying to steal third after a double to right. Later in the same inning Diffley, who had received a base on balls and ad- vanced to third through Braendle's single, was caught at the plate in an attempt double steal.- Three of the Wolverine tallies came in the last half of the fifth. Petoskey started the proceedings with a hard line drive into right Box score of the game will be found on page 2. tield that went for a home run when it bounded over Gruber's head. The rally was nipped in the bud when Braendle was caught in Ian attempt to steal second., Braecdle took hitting honors for the dlay(collecting three singles in three btes at bat. Tompkins also had a ield day with the stick, get- ting a double and two singles in five tines up. Michaelis had streaks in which he was invincible. He scored seven strike--outs. All but three of the ten Wolverines whcP took part in the cnest fell at victim to his fast breakini curve ball. Ragged Ball Exhibited. Altogether the Wolverines collect- ed 12 hits. Nine men were left on the bases. Michaelis bore down in the pineis, or else waited for some Michigan man to get too frisky on the bases. Both teams played ragged ball, The Hurons had three errors chalk- (d up against them while Michi- gan had two. In addition, there were several "boners" on both sides. In the sixth inning Manuel got to second on what should have been an easy out, Wittkop and Christy waiting for each other to take an easy fly ball back of second until lit finally fell safe. Wistert demonstrated that he may become an invaluable member of Coach Fisher's mound staff in the two innings that he pitched. Mich- aelis got to him for a double but none of the other Normalites were able to knock the ball out of the infield. He struck out one.

Dr. Alexandei in the opinion of many observers went a long way towards establish- ing the value of surgical treatment in many selective cases of tuber- culous chest disorders. The clinic provided demonstra- tion of almost all the kinds of ther- apy in chest tuberculosis which have been treated in the hospital this year. Dr. Alexander was assist- ed by Dr. John Barwell, Dr. Camer- on Haight, Dr. Duane Carr, and Dr. J. Dewey Bisgard. Other highlights of the morning session included papers by Dr. M C. Indoe, and Drs. Anderson and Barnwell. One of the most eminent speakers scheduled for the meeting, Dr. E. J. O'Brien of Detroit, was unable to appear on account having been seriously injured in an auto crack- up last week.

Present Only Speech at Gathering. MARCH IS PLANNED Caps and Gowns Will Appear for First Time. Swingout, the first official meet- ing of the class of 1932 in pre- paration for graduation, will be held on May 4 in Hill auditorium, according to Richard L. Tobin swingout ' chairman. Alexander Grant Ruthven will be the only speaker on the .accompanying program. The final plans for the tradi- tional function were completed yesterday. The procedure in gen- eral will be the same as that fo lowed by the parade of the grad- uating seniors. To Meet at Library. The entire class of 1932, clad for the first time in their caps and gowns, will meet at 3:30 o'clock, on May 4, in front of the library. Here the parade will start after the ranks are formed. The varsity band will lead the procession being followed by the honor guard, composed of 50 prom- inent students from every college and school of the University, mem- bers of the literary college, the en, gineering school, and other colleges, marching in the same order as that cusomary. The procession will march dwn the diagonal in a northwest direc- tion, and down North University to Hill auditorium, thus making a ( complete circuit of the campus. (The route has been considably, lengthenedbecause the parade l ordinarily ,four blocks long and the leaders were often seated in Hill auditorium before the end of the line had been formed. Predict Largest Gathering. Classes for seniors will be dis- missed at 3 o'clock on the day of Swingout so that all may be able to attend, It is expected by the committee that there will be more people present than ever before in the history of the event since the graduating class is unusually large and since interest in the affair has increased steadily in the last few years. The honor guard will be named some time in the near future, Tobin said last night. Seniors were urged by the Swing- 7ut committee to obtain their caps and gowns as son as possible as these wil be required to be worn at the affair.
