'The Swan' by Ferenc

Ann Arbor's population was de-!
creased to the extent of almost 3,-
000 last night when most of the
delegates to the Schoolmasters' club
meetings left town at the close of
the third day of their annual con-
vention:
The various activities of the club
and its correlated conferences yes-
terday ci e fl.y dealt with the'
clearing up of business carried over
from Thursday's and Friday's ses-
sions.
A teacher's conference, sponsored
by the schoolmasters and held in
the University high school auditor-
ium featured the sessions yesterday
morning. Dr. Raleigh Schorling,
head of the teaching department,
was chairman and the program was
conducted by student teachers who
demonstrated their work of their
respective departments through
displays, graphical representations.
and units of work done by the pu-
pits.
A definite trend was evidenced
towaird enriching high school curri-
cula and making all studies more
interesting through not confining
courses to the limits of text and
allowing pupils to devote time to re-
lated projects. It was pointed out
that these projects encouraged the
use of knowledge gained through
other subjects and thus the curri-
culum. as a whole was unified.
Other conferences yesterday wee
held in relation to creative work
of pupils and upon curricula in
general and what they should in-
'lude.

Sweeping changes in University

overthrow of paternalism, a com-

and establishing of non-profit eat-

embodied in its recently adopted
platform for the University of Mich-

"There is nothing which we will
not do within reason towards abol-
ishing the local R. O. T. C. unit,"
stated Sher M. Qu traishi, '32, one
of the drafters of the new instru-
ment. The statement of the new
constitution with regard to the,
dean's office indicated that the or-
ganization intended to show "un-
alterable opposition to the continu-
ed intolerable paternalism of the
University authorities."

TENSE FEELING
PERVADES HAWAI
Women Boycott Jurors, Employ-
ers; Police Prepared Against
Emergency.
HONOLULU, April 30.-(IP)--An
outwardly quiet but tense city
'ooked on today while opposing
fides girded for further battle over
the Joseph Kahahawai lynching
case. The manslaughter conviction
of the four accused persons failed
to settle its far-flung ramifications.
The only open move today was
the organization by a group of
women of a boycott against places
employing members of the jury.
Only white women were invited to
join the boycott, which would em-
barrass a number of important
firms.
Radio patrol cars equipped with
machine guns and manned by the
police rode through the city as the
apparent tranquility was interpret-
ad as-ominaous.
Both police and national guard
authorities were on the alert for
any sign of an outbreak of feeling
aver conviction of Lieut. Thomas
H. Massie, Mrs. Granville Fortescue
and the two navy enlisted men,
Albert 0. Jones and E. J. Lord.
Motorcycle officers patrolled the
downtown section constantly and
extra patrolmen were stationed in
that area.
Beaten in one of the greatest
court battles of his long career,
Clarence Darrow, the aged defense
counsel, and his associates set
wearily about fighting the convic-
tion through the higher courts.
RELAYIMEN WIN113
Spotlight Stolen by Metcalfe,
Brocksmith, and Saling;
Three Marks Fall.
DES MOINES, Ia., April 30.-(P)-
Three outstanding performers who
stole the spotlight at the Drake Re-
lays today were Henry Brocksmith,
of Indiana, distance star; Ralph
Metcalfe, flying Negro of Marquette
university, and George Saling, the
hurdling marvel from the Univer-
sity of Iowa.
Brocksmith, who holds the West--
ern Conference indoor mile and
two-mile championships in the two-
mile run smashed the relays rec-
ord for the event, and also better-
ed the 20-year-old American inter-
collegiate mark. The bespectacled
Indiana flash won the event in 9:13.
The American intercollegiate mark
of 9:17.8 was made by Berna, of
Cornell university, in 1912.
Saling clipped the relays record
in the 120-yard high hurdles by
skimming the barriers in :14.4.
Wilson was chiefly responsible for
Notre Dame's victories in the mile
and two-mile relays. In the two-
mile event, Wilson, running as an-
chor man, took the baion 10 yards
behind the leader, and finished
seven yards ahead of the field to
establish a new record of 7:48.8.
Summaries:
Two-mile University relay-Won

King, Wilson; second, Iowa State;
third, Michigan; fourth, Nebraska.

ord; former mark of 7:514 estab-
lished by Michigan in 1925).

I
munists on the campus attempted
to take control from the more con-
servative socialist club members.
Three of them managed to get pos-
itions on the constitution drafting
ecmmittee and a platform was al-
most "railroaded through" which1
contained, besides the provisions
which the s o i a l i s t s have used,
such added points as abolition
of the auto man. However, be-
fore the communists had completed
their "coup" the old "standpat" so-
cialists were able to get the situa-
tion under control and reduce the
provisions of the document to what
they considered "reasonable."
As a further extention of the
principle of not charging any tui-
tion fees, the document advocates
that the university pay the expen-
ses of certain students who are
worthy of an education but who
lack the necessary funds.
To put these ideas into effect one
of the first steps of the organiza-
tion will be to work toward elect-1
ing a member of their organization
to the student council, it was stated.
No organized political drive of this
nature will be attempted until next
year however, it is expected.
Discrimination against students1
on account of race or sex is alsoi
sharply attacked by the socialists'
platform. Discriminatory regula-
tions by the Dean of women partic-;
ularly in the way of forcing women
to live in approved houses withI
room rates considerably h i g h e r
than those charged to men stu-
dents was the principle dispute of
the organization. Also the discrim-
ination shown by the professonal
schools against members of races
other than the white race was men-
tioned in the document.
Eating establishments and living
quarters run without thought of
profit was also mentioned. Book
exchanges such as the one recent-
ly tried out by the socialists were
advocated.
Reform in the relationship be-
tween the university and the legis-
lative body of the state so that cuts
in t h e university appropriations
and cuts in salaries of faculty mem-
bers would not be possible was one
of the planks in the advocated plat-
form.

VARSITY STAGES RALLY
Michigan Squad Tallies Three
Runs in Sixth Inning
But Fails to Tie.
By Albert H. Newman
(Special to The Daily)
KALAMAZOO, April 30.-A snap-
py squad of nine Western State
baseball players, headed by Fred
Black, southpaw twirler, gave Mich-
igan's varsity nine another setback
here this afternoon by the score of
4-3. 'Lefty' McKay was the losing
pitcher, and each team garnered
eight safeties.
It was an afternoon entirely too.
windy here for good baseball. Trc-
ky gusts sweeping across the dia-
mond from right field complicated
fielding to a great extent not only
in the outfield. but in the infield
as well.
Western State started out with
two scores in the first inning and
augmented these with one in the
third and one in the fourth. The
Michigan nine failed to get started
until the sixth inning, when .a three-
run rally was staged, Waterbor,
Wistert, and Braendle scoring. With
two runs scored in the inning, Diff-
ley, attempting to score from sec-
ond on Braendle's hit, was cut off
St'the plate by a wonderful tlrow
by Decker from center field to the
;plate. Thus, Michigan failed to tie
the score, although Braendle tallied
later in the inning.,
Diffley led in hitting honors for
the Wolves with two out of three,
Waterbor and Braendle each get-
tig two hits out of four trips to
the rubber; the sophomore short-
stop, however, marred his perfect
bielding record by committing a
miscue today. Tompkins left the
game in the fifth inning a& the re-
sult of a leg injury of several day's
standing. Coach Fisher shiftedP-
toskey to center, Manuel to right
field, and placed Wistert on the ini-
tial marker.
