financing dug out by Senate inves-
tigators today lengthened the line
of prominent persons to whom the
big banking firm opened opportuni-
ties of one-time paper profits exceed
ing $20,000,000.
"Sharers in the risk of underwrit-
ing" was the persistent designation
given these customers by George
Whitney, a member of the firm, who
spent most of the day outlining the
organization of The United Corp., a
Morgan utility holding group, while
J. P. Morgan sat quietly by.
Repeatedly Whitney objected to
describing as "preferred" or "fa-
vored" those clients to whom stock
was sold at cost prices-prices much
below market quotations of a few
days later-despite Senatorial prod-
dings into public connections of the
buyers and .iust what the "risk" was.
The Banking Committee members
found one of its own members-Sen-
ator Hamilton Kean, (Rep., N. J,)-
on the list of those who were sold for
$75 units of United stock that were
quoted just a little later on the mar-
ket at $99.
Kean's firm of Kean, Taylor &
Co., bought 500 units.
Sen. William Gibbs McAdoo (Dem.,
Calif.), also appeared on this third
list of customers as the purchaser of
250 units, each unit consisting of one
share of preferred and one share of
common. McAdoo also had peen
among cost price customers of Alle-
gheny Corp. and Standard Brands,
Inc. Both of McAdoo's transactions
were before he went into the Senate.
Committee investigators said also
that when the United customers of
Drexel & Co., Morgan's Philadelphia
affiliate, are put into the record to-
morrow, the name of Supreme Court
Justice Awen J. Roberts, will appear
again.
Both of his transactions were be-
fore he went on the Supreme Court
bench.
"Is my name on the list?" asked
Senator Carter Glass, (Dem., Va.),
who came to the hearing with a sheaf
of letters threatening him because of
his stand in the Morgan inquiry.
"No, Senator, it is not," Whitney
replied as Morgan joined him in a
broad smile.
Court Hearing
To Be Held On
East Side Beer
New Granada Cafe Asks'
Hearing On Mandamus
Writ; Saturday Is Day
The legality of Ann Arbor's east
side beer ban will meet a court test
Saturday morning. Circuit Judge
George W. Sample has set that time
for a hearing on a writ of manda-
mus requested by the New Granada
Cafe, 331 S. State St. The owners of
the New Granada Cafe, Ralph T.
and Winifred Monk, claim that they
have met all the requirements of the
law and that the Common Council
has discriminated against them in
refusing their application for a
license.
J. Edgar Dwyer will represent the
restaurant at the hearing Saturday.
He has acted as attorney for the
State St. stores during the contro-
versy. The New Granada Cafe was
selected to make the court applica-
tion, since its equipment satisfies all
portions of the state beer law and no
technical reason may be advanced by
the city for the license refusal.
In their application for a writ of
mandamus, the proprietors of the
cafe claimed that the council had re-
fused their application "without rea-
sonable cause or valid reason," and
that the refusal had resulted in a
loss of business to the establishment.
Intoxication At Swingout
Arouses Disapproval Of
Public And Faculty
Several members of the senior
class face disciplinary action by the
University for being under the influ-
ence of liquor during the Swingout
ceremonies, according to rumors last
night. Any action which the discip-
linary, committee may take will be
made public today, it was learned.
The case of a sophomore woman
who was involved in the affair was
brought before the judiciary commit-
tee of the Women's Self-Governing
Association, and the recommendation
of that body is now in the hands of
Dean Alice C. Lloyd. The charges
brought against her were not made
known.
The students involved have been
brought before the disciplinary com-
mittee and may either be suspended
from the University or required to
take additional hours for graduation,
which will necessitate their returning
to the University for additional work.
Swingout, a tradition of long
standing, may be done away with as
a result of the intoxication of many
members of the senior class during
the ceremonies which took place May
16, according to reports. The cere-
monies this year were a "disgrace to
the University" in the opinion of
many members of the faculty, and
it is believed that a movement by
faculty members towards abolishing
the tradition is already under was.
The Student Council, in former
years, has had the responsibility of
running the Swingout ceremonies,
but due to the demise of that body
this spring, no organization was held
responsible. It was the consensus of
opinion among many of the students
that the affair lacked organization
this year.
Alumni Groups,
Ninth District,
To MeetToday
The annual meeting of the Univer-
sity Alumni clubs of the ninth dis-
trict, which covers southeastern
Michigan, will be held at noon today
at the Owosso Country Club. Mem-
bers will meet for luncheon, which
will be followed by business meetings
and a golf tournament. A banquet
in the evening concludes the day.
Wilfred B. Shaw, director of
alumni relations, will represent his
department, and will speak on the
lecture courses sponsored for district
alumni clubs by the local headquar-
ters. Other units interested in the
success of the courses given this year
in Detroit and Pontiac wish to have
them made available to a wider
group.
T. Hawley Tapping, general sec-
retary of the Alumni Association and
editor of the Michigan Alumnus, will
attend as the association's represen-
tative.
Undergraduate Council Is
Established With Ex-Officio
Organization To Be Object
Of First Public Meeting,
At 7:30 P. M. Today
A New Deal in student government,
embodying practically all the fea-
tures of the "ex-officio" plan, was
approved yesterday by President
Alexander G. Ruthven, and will go
into effect at once.
The Constitution of the new stu-
dent governing body, which will be
called the Undergraduate Council on
Student Affairs, was drawn up by a
committee appointed by the dean of
students shortly after the recent
failure of the old Student Council
to continue its existence.
The membership of the Council
will include the presidents of Michi-
gamua, Druids, Vulcans, ,Sphinx,
Triangles, Tau Beta Pi, Mortarboard,
Wyvern, the Union, the League, the
Interfraternity Council, the Panhel-
lenic Association, and the Engineer-
ing Council; the managing editor of
The Daily; and the presidents of
Sphinx, Triangles, and Wyvern for
the first semester of the preceding
year.
If there are not two non-frater-
nity members on the Council, the
Council will elect enough members to
insure at least two being on the
Council at all times.
The Council will hold its first
meeting at 7:30 p. m. today in the
Union in conjunction with the mem-.
bers of the committee which framed
the Constitution. Organization of
the Council will take place at that
time. The meeting will be open to
the public.
The constitution provides for a
president, who may be any man who
has had at least three years of resi-
dence on campus, not necessarily a
member of the Council. The secre-
tary-treasurer must be chosen from
the Council.
The complete constitution is as
follows :
PREAMBLE

Council on Student Affairs shall be

munication between the undergrad-
uate body and the University author-
ities.

be secured through strength of per-
sonnel gained by the selection of

sentation among all undergraduate
groups.
This Council shall exercise a gen-
eral supervision over student activ-
ities, organizations, traditions, cus-
toms, and conduct by means of legis-
lative and judicial action and

trative functions to proper campus
agencies. It is recognized, for ex-
ample, that the Michigan Union and
the Michigan League are properly
qualified to handle jointly class elec-
tions; the Union to handle class
games; and the League to take dis-
