Interfraternity Council Meets At Union Today Will Consider Report National Secretaries Fraternity Problem Of On The Interfraternity Council will meet at 7:30 p. m. today in the Union to consider the report which was sub- mitted by a committee of four na- tional fraternity secretaries who were in Ann Arbor last week studying the fraternity problem at Michigan. Bethel B. Kelley, president of the council, has expressed a wish that all fraternities on campus send dele- gates to consider the best means to prevent the closing up of many houses due to unsound financial con- ditions. The report specifies that the office of the dean of students shall require from each house certain financial reports and statements each month, and shall seek to prevent the con- tinuance of poor financial conditions by reporting the problem as soon as it becomes acute to the national headquarters of the fraternity and to the adult financial adviser of the chapter who, by another section of the report, should be appointed for each house. Kelley has explained that the fa- vorable action of the council on the proposals would forestall action on the part of the administration which might be made to protect incoming freshmen from accepting obligations beyond their ability to pay. Good-Will Day To Be Celebrated Here' Speakers for International Good- Will Day, to be celebrated at 4:15 p. m. today in Natural Science Audi- torium, will be Prof. Roy W.

Anne Heyman Wins Award On Research Work The first prize of $300 in the essay awards of the American Association for the Study of Goitre has been awarded to Miss Anne M. Heyman who has been working at the Hy- gienic Laboratory in the department of bacteriology for her essay on "The Bacteriology of Goitre and the Pro- duction of Thyroid Hyperplasia in Rabbits on Special Diet." Miss Heyman has been attempting to find bacteria in specimens of goitre removed at the University Hospital in order to prove that a micro-organism is the cause of goitre. Her results have shown that there is no bacterial cause and that or- ganisms found in goitre tissue which have been alleged to be a cause do not have any effect when injected. Miss Heyman's research was done in the laboratories of Dr. M. H. Soule, professor of bacteriology, with the co-operation of Prof. C. V. Weller and Prof. F. A. Coller. House Passes State Income, Sales Taxes Solid Democratic Support Passes Measure After Barrage Of Attack Senate Is Expected To Modify Measure Few Exceptions To Party Vote; Philip Pack Is In Favor Of Bill LANSING, May 17.-U(P)-The ad- ministration sales and gross income- tax bill, backed by almost solid Dem- ocratic support, passed the House today. It goes to the Senate in vir- tually the form it was introduced, but with a tacit agreement that it will be radically changed before it is enacted. Democratic leaders who helped to push the bill through admitted the Senate is expected to tear it to pieces. The possibility exists that the Senate will segregate its provi- sions so it will come back to the House as a straight retail sales-tax measure, accompanied by separate bills proposing gross income levies of utilities and professional services and a manufacturers' tax. The bill weathered a steady bar- rage of Republican amendments. The vote of 55 to 43 was almost en- tirely partisan. Only three Republi- cans - Representatives Edward C. Morrison, of Lapeer; Philip Pack, of Ann Arbor, and Henry E. Perry, of Newberry-voted for the masure. Two Democrats, Representatives Mitchel J. Gragewski, of Hamtramck, and Charles F. Parker, of Barry, passed their ballots with the Repub- licans in opposition. Charges that the administration was attempting to force through an unconstitutional measure were made by Republican speakers. Democrats replied that the State must have rev- enue and Gov. William A. Comstock believed the combined sales and in- come measure was necessary to pro- vide funds for replacement of the State property tax, aid for school districts and welfare relief. Senate Adopts Resolution Favoring U. Of D. Game LANSING, May 17.-(P)-The Leg- islature today went on record in fa- vor of a charity game next fall be- tween the University of Detroit and the University of Michigan.

Plans To Cut Room, Board Dormitory May Not Take Part In Consolidation Because Of Cook Will The radical cut in dormitory prices for board and room will be met by Martha Cook dormitory, Miss Mar- garet R. Smith, social director, stated yesterday. "It is impossible for us to become a part of the consolidation of the other dormitories, which Dean Alice C. Lloyd announced recently, because of stipulations made by Mr. William Cook when donating the building to the Board of Regents," Miss Smith said. "We realize that there must be a uniform rate and also that it is essential that living conditions be made as inexpensive as possible, con- sequently we are most willing to co- operate with the University and with Dean Lloyd in lowering housing prices. "In addition to these reductions Martha Cook is offering two room and board scholarships," Miss Smith declared, "and five 50-dollar schol- arships will be available to former residents also. This is in accordance with Mr. Cook's wish that any sur- plus funds be used to fulfill the wom- en's greatest needs." For the first time in 18 years the privilege of living in an upperclass dormitory will be extended to a few selected sophomores. "We feel that Martha Cook will be more prominent in the campus activities if there are a few women in the house who will be on campus more than two years," Miss Smith concluded. Budget Of City Is Passed By Council Vote The budget for the city of Ann Arbor for the coming fiscal year amounting to $460,498.44 was passed unanimously at a special meeting of the Common Council last night. The figure represents a reduction of $18,- 167.29 from last year's budget. Alderman Max Krutsch raised two objections during the discussion pre- ceding the vote. He insisted that the reduction of the appropriation for plumbing inspection was too great and that the reduction of the city engineer's salary was not large enough. Neither of these two reduc- tions corresponded to the general scale of 15 per cent cuts in the new budget. Alderman William Paton pointed out that changes in the budget, respecting individual items, could be made after its passage and that it would be best to pass the measueas it stood. point a committee of representa- tive students to consider 'the problems of student government and to make recommendations to the University Council Com- mittee on Student Relations. By GUY M. WHIPPLE, JR. s In a convincing demonstration against the present organization of the Student Council, all candidates for the presidency and literary school membership of that body last night flatly refused to run for; office in the all-campus election to- day or at any time until the Coun-, cil organization has been radically revised. At the same time officials of the Union, fearing a fiasco in the all- campus vote today, decided to print ballots of their own on which names of the candidates for the Union vice- presidencies would be printed. John W. Lederle, '33, president of the Union, issued a statement in which he said he feared that "Union posi- tions would only be drawn into the wrong kind of politics if allowed to be mixed up on a ballot with farci- cal Student Council candidacies." Union To Hold Election The Union will hold its election in the center of the Diagonal. Union committeemen will be in charge, and only vice-presidents of the Union will be voted on. All of the State Street's candi- dates for Council positions signed the following statement: "We, the undersigned, nominees for membership in the Student Council, refuse these nominations, and will refuse to take office should we be elected in the All-Campus Elections on Thursday, May 18th, 1933, believing that a vote for any nominee represents a vote for the existence of the Council as it ex- ists today.

Law- ton, Frederick W. Hertrich, Jr., Allan D. McCombs, Richard C. Briggs. Four other members of the Coun- cil who said they would refuse mem- bership until a new organization is devised are Bethel Kelley, '34, presi- dent of the Interfraternity Council, Robert Saltzstein, '34, president of the Union, Thomas Connellan, '34, managing editor of The Daily, and Wilbur Bohnsack, '34, a present member elected for a two-year term. All of the four but Bohnsack are ex- officio members. Caucus Picks Men A State Street caucus held last night at Alpha Delta Phi fraternity named Cy Huling, '34, Deo, and Bur- sley as the party candidates for the Board in Control of Athletics. No se- lections were made for the vice-pres- BULLETIN The present Student Council appeared to be headed toward permanent oblivion early today, as its entire next year's member- ship, with the exception of one, resigned following the withdrawal of the 15 candidates for council positions. As a result, Council elections will not be held today, but stu- dent members for the Board in Control of Student Publications, Athletics and the Student Christian Association, and the Union vice-presidencies will be elected nevertheless. These eleections will be handled by the Union. Dean of Studetits Joseph A. Bursley, when informed of the action taken last night as a protest measure against the present council system, stated that at the request of Charles R. Racine, '33, acting president of the Student Council, who resigned early today, and Thomas Connellan, '34, editor of The Daily, he would ap- student body on it.- ie made this explanation after Beach Conger, Jr., Grad., had opened the meeting be- fore 35 fraternity representatives with a reading of the statement signed by the 11 "declining" candi- dates and an account of a secret meeting Thursday night. All those condemning the present Student Council organization said they would be "more than willing" to serve on a future Council of a composition to be determined by a majority of students at a special all- campus election under a new plan. Refuse To Run Michigan's next Student Council must be so formed that it can carry out an honest and responsible ad- ministration of student affairs dele- gated to it, the signatories declared, adding that their refusal to run. would stand "as long as the Council remains what it is today." This view- point forms their sole reason for tak- ing this action, it was said. It was indicated that a committee of student leaders would, in the near future, confer with the University Council CommitteehontStudent Rela Briggs' Statement "The Student Council once repre- sented the best effort by the students to assert and maintain their rights," declared Richard C. Briggs, '34. "In recent years, The Daily, supposed to represent and express student opin- ion, has chosen to dictate student ac- tion. With the student publication opposed to the Council's action and hindering it in whatever it under- takes, the Council has been retarded in voicing and carrying out student opinion. What is now proposed is that men chosen for other work and whose interests lie in other fields be delegated to administer the actions which the students wish. Facing such a movement, whether or not it is for the betterment of student control of student affairs, I can do nothing but resign." tions, with a view to' formulating plans for a new Student Council. At present two plans are being contem- plated. They are: (1) The "Ex-Officio" Plan, calling for a Student Council "composed of the presidents of the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association, the League, the Union, Michigamua, Druids, Triangles, Vulcans, Sphinx, Barristers, and the managing editor of The Daily and five men to be elected in the fall by the campus at large. The five would include three sophomores and two juniors. (2) The "Bicameral Plan" calls for an upper house similar to the present Senate Committee on Student Af- fairs, and a lower house the composi- tion of which would be in proportion to the enrollment in the several schools and colleges. Lederle's complete statement de- scribing the election to be conducted today by the Union is as follows: "The six Union vice-presidencies will be filled tomorrow whatever happens. ?-- ..,... +., 4 1-.. cf . , - ht- . -; . Union To Manage Election Of Students On Boards In Dramatic Festival Draws Wide Interest, Says Katherine Kelley "I don't know how many people could help knowing about the Dra- matic Festival, with actors and ac- tresses from all over represented in it," Miss Katherine Wicks Kelley, star of "Another Language," said when asked if the Dramatic Festival was recognized outside Michigan circles. "I have seen accounts of it in New York papers and the Cleve- land papers certainly gave my part in it a lot of publicity. "I am personally very much inter- ested in it because I was in it five or six years ago when Mr. Henderson merely called it the Summer Ses- sion." This is Miss Kelly's third year in the festival itself. The part which she will play Miss Kelley describes as the part of a woman of the middle i class-"of which there are a legion. This little romance in her life has been crushed out by married life; yet in spite of her acidity, something of a human being crops out every once knows how to do many more things than cook," she laughed. "I do al-] most all my work with the Cleveland Playhouse, which produces a very high grade of plays, including very few of the absolutely popular brand." While she plays a number of dif- ferent characters, the most usual type is the kind of person that is portrayed in Judith, the actress in "Hay Fever." "An interview, as far as I can see, should be primarily for the purpose of seeing what type of person an ac- tress is off-stage. Very often if an actress plays a sweet or insipid or acid part the audience thinks that she must be a little like that to play the part so well, the actress com- mented. "One of the most interesting pro- ductions that I have played in re- cently is "Jealousy," in which only two people appear during the entire performance.
