the State, and not private enterprise,
is responsible for the education of its
citizens, from the grades upward.

tinued proper education of its citi-
zens. Since the property tax has
practically collapsed, the levying of a
sales tax to meet the required educa-
tional funds was advocated.

non-partisan basis. This would beI
accomplished through the removal of
that office from popular election, andI
instead to fill it by appointment by

Cross Speaks at Dinner
The annual dinner and reception
for members of the Schoolmasters
Club was held last night at the
League. Professor Cross, this year's
president of the club, gave the ad-
dress of welcome, followed by Louis
P. Jocelyn, secretary-treasurer of the
organization, who called upon the
visiting teachers to use their influ-
ence to prevent too drastic a cut
in the University's annual appropria-
tion. He termed the Michigan School-i
masters Club "the best organizationi
of its kind in the country" and com-
mended Dean J. B. Edmonson of the

Sororities Are Struggling For
Existence, Dean Lloyd States
By MARG6ARET PHALAN
Whether sororities in the "luxury
class" can survive the present crisis
was questioned by Dean Alice C.
Lloyd in a conference of deans of
women held yesterday in conjunction
with the Schoolmasters' Club con-
vention.
"Without a financial crisis, the
sororities on this particular campus
would have faced a serious crisis in
our increased dormitory facilities,"
Dean Lloyd said. "With the added
difficulties of a financial upheaval
they are struggling for existence. The
picture is a challenging one, and in
many ways it is a good thing that
it is so. It was time for sororities to
inspect themselves with a view to
evaluating their right to be on a
university campus.
"In the past," Dean Lloyd ex-
plained, "sororities provided dignified
lodgings, unusual opportunities for
friendship, comradeship, and a cer-
tain stability in social life. For this
service universities and colleges
should be grateful.
"Now, however," she continued, "a
different emphasis has developed.
Dormitories have become serious
rivals in the housing situation, and
the time has come, I think, for the
sororities to redefine their purpose.
They cannot now justify their ex-
istence entirely along the old lines
and must develop and move forward
to meet the new situation if they are
to continue as valuable adjuncts to
the life of a campus.
"To stress their value as house
clubs is to bring them into direct
competition with the dormitories,
which in many instances offer bet-
ter living conditions. To emphasize
the social life within their walls is
to bringvery forcibly toulight the
fact that the social situation has
changed from the earlier intimate
group life within the house to the
present-day social activities outside
the house.
"There are certain problems con-
nected with sororities on every cam-
pus," Dean Lloyd said. "The rival-
ries, the tragic disappointment of the
fairly large group that is examined
during rushing and found wanting,
the so-called snobbishness in our

Latin-American
Protectionism
Plea For Gradual Disuse
Of Monroe Doctrie Is
Voiced fly Speake '
Arguments against the Monroe
Doctrine and a broad plea that it
be "allowed to fall into disuse" were
voicedl yesterday in Hill Auditorium
at the tenth annual Honors..Convo-
cation by Dr. Stephen P.. ;luggan,
director of the Institute of Interna-
tional Education. Dr. Diggan be-
lieves that the doctrine will never be
publicly renounced, but hoies It may
in effect gradually be done away
with.
The convocation address was an
appeal t "remove any .optacle. to
the happy relations between Latin-
American nations and the United
States."
A return to the interpretation
which was originally intended by
President Monroe was advocated for
the Monroe Doctrine, and Dr. Dug-
gan deprecated the advanced inter-
pretations which have been attached
to it by President Theodore Roose-
velt and Secretary of State Hughes.
War Changed Relations
The World War caused the inter-
national position of the Latin-Amer-
ican nations to be changed, Dr. Dug-
gan said. Before the War they were
not *considered as important; after
the War they were invited to join
the League of Nations on an equality
basis. He pointed out that before

this time, they had been members
of the Pan-American Union but un-
der the domination of the United
States.
There is at present less antagon-
ism in Latin-American nations for
the United States than at any time
in the past,, Dr. Duggan said. He ex-
cepted students in Latin-American
universities.
Dr. Duggan observed that while
there are trouble spots in Latin-
American today Peru and Mexico hav-
ing broken off relations, Bolivia and
Paraguay being at war, and Argen-
tina and Uraguay having recently
resumed diplomatic relations-those
nations have been most willing in tie
past to settle their disputes by means
of arbitration, and other crises have
been averted by peaceful .means.
Morrow,Stimson Praised
The change 'for the better in re-
lations with Latin-America has come
through the efforts of the late
Dwight W. Morrow, wh, served as
ambassador to Mexico, and of for-
mer Secretary of State Stimson,
whose fairness in dealing with the
Nicaraugua situation won, the un-
derstanding and good-will of the in-
habitants.
He also mentioned the trip which
Herbert Hoover made in 1928 fol-
lowing his election to the Presidency,
saying that in many places he was
received quite coldly. "Later as Pres-
ident Mr. Hoover did all in his power
to win the friendship of the Latin-
Americans," Dr. Duggan said.

Penny Carnival To
Offer Spendthrifts
OpportunityTo night
Another outlet for those outbursts
made so popular by the roller-skat-
ing fad, will be offered when the
Penny Carnival opens tonight at
Barbour gymnasium. It's time to rob'
the young brother's bank and with
those few pennies banish all worries
for the gay, carnival spirit.
There are interests for everyone:
fishing for those who like to play
truant, ring-toss for the ahletic,
shuffle board for the more feeble, ad-
vice for the love-lorn, and bagatelle
for the devil-may-care.
Provisions have also been made for
the more serious-minded: there are
jig-saws in abundance, while visions
of the future may be obtained for a
few cents, too. And what could be
more luxurious than sitting with a
stein of beer from the (root) beer
garden in one hand and a steammg
bag of pop-corn in the other while a
bevy of attractive co-eds shine your
shoes?
Dancing to the music of Simpson's
eight-piece orchestra is to be fea-
tured upstairs at five cents a couple
-why pay more? Additional enter-
tainment will be provided by the
popular trio, Jean Seeley, '36, Edith
Ferrin, '36, and Ernestine Richter,
'36, and by Dorothy Dishman, '36,
who will give a waltz number.
More interest will doubtless be
shown in those booths offering frost-
bites, coca cola, candy kisses, ice
cream, and apples (made so popular
by the unemployed).

GENEVA, April 28.--P)-A head-
on collision between French and Ger-
man delegates that threatened to dis-
rupt the World Disarmament Con-
ference was smoothed over today by
the intervention of Norman H. Davis,
the American envoy.
Mr. Davis recalled the constructive
efforts being made at Washington to
put the troubled world in order, and
pleaded that all show a similar at-
tempt to conciliate at Geneva.
In order not to "jeopardize the bal-
ance" of the armes reduction pro-
posal recently submitted by Prime
Minister MacDonald of Great Bri-
tain, the United States ambassador
said his government supportedsthe
British plan. The statement was one
of the dramatic developments in the
day's discussion.
Declaring that the origin of the
difficulties being grappled with in
Washington is excessive nationalism,
Mr. Davis said "we have been too
accustomed to approach these prob-
lems with a restricted point-of-view."
The dissension struck the confer-
ence when Count Rudolph Nadolny
of Germany complained that Ger-
many had been waiting 14 years for
the powers to make good their promi-
ses to reduce armaments, and when
Rene Massigli of France retorted

The men, all between 18 and 25 years

and Saline with 12.

pros-pects.
Premiers Leave
Those triumphs kept te President
smiling as he had earlier in bidding
adieu to Edouard Herriot, of France,
and to Prime Minister R. B. Bennett
of Canada. As with Prime Minister
Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain,
all participants recorded satisfaction
from the exchange of views, but em-
phasized that specific committments
were not the present aim.
The President and M. Herriott had
a "frank and friendly" talk on the
war debts but left conclusions for
later negotiations between the two
governments. As it stands, France is
expected here to pay up. Should the
London Economic Coiflerence prove
fruitful, revision may be in order.
As the former French Premier sped
to New York by train, the White
House made public a statement in
which he and the President said that
their meeting had resulted in "as
complete an understanding as pos-
sible" on common problems.
"We have examined in particular,"
it went on, "the manner in which
commercial policies should develop
for the purpose of promoting rather
than restricting international trade."
In that connection, a likelihood
developed that in London tomorrow
Norman H. Davis, ambassador-at-
large, will propose a world truce on
tariff changes pending the confer-
ence opening there June 12. His ap-
proach will be at a session of the
committee making ready for the
world parley.
Plan Treaty Power
Administration experts practically
completed the projected legislation
to arm the President with authority
to negotiate reciprocal tariff reduc-
tion treaties. This power, probably
limited to 50 per cent of the tariff
in question, would be used to restore
the weakened American foreign
trade. The bill may reach the Capitol
next week.
It is being taken for granted that,
if possible, Mr. Roosevelt will name
Secretary Cardell Hull to lead the
delegation to London. Those men-
tioned as his associates include
Chairman Key Pittman, of the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Committee;
Robert L. Doughton and S. D. Mc-
Reynolds, of the House Ways and
Means and Foreign Affairs commit-
tees, and Raymond Moley, assistant
secretary of state.
It was clear that fuller realization
of difficulties in store had been made
possible by the Herriot conference,
the cheerful motto seeming to be
that "to be forewarned is to be fore-
armed."

Flint Northern Wins Debating
Title By Unanimous Decision

Flint Ncrthern High School won
the Michigan High School Debating
League championship last night at
Hill Auditorium, defeating Manis-
tique High School by a unanimous
decision. They argued that the State
of Michigan should not adopt a state

Both teams showed careful prepa-

clash between the two teams. Flint
