PRICE FIVE CENTS Banking Bill Starts Debate On Currency Bingham Says Expansion Proposals Are Unsound; Senator Borah Replies Inflation Projects Assailed In House Depreciation In Monetary System Brings On First Caucus Of Session WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-(P- Across th floors of both houses to- day swept ripples of debate on a sub- ject which is bulking large in the minds of many members-currency expansion. Despite the defeat in the Senate only yesterday of the proposals to remonetize silver on the basis of 16 to 1, currency changes were discussed in one of the many side digressions from the bill which was passed early in the evening, the Glass banking bill. Sen. Bingham, conservative New England Republican, said expansion proposals were unsound and that1 talk about them delayed a return of much needed confidence. Borah Replies Sen. Borah, Republican of Idaho, was ready with a reply on the "dis- honest dollar," asserting as he has done before that the value of gold has changed radically since the haly- con days of the 1920's. He told how debts had mounted in consequence. In the House, Rep. Huddleston (Dem., Ala.) assailed inflation pro- posals, terming them the beginning of revolution. His conclusions were hammered by Rep. Patman of Texas, also a Democrat. The numerous Senate exchanges on many topics roused the ire of Sen. Glass (Dem Van who hsbeen try- ing to get the bank bill through. He circulatedanother cloture petition to limit debate. This in turn roused Sen. Thomas (Dem., Okla.) who said if Glass tried to force cloture that he would do all in his power to prevent Senate ratification if Glass were named se- retary of the treasury by Franklin D. Roosevelt. But the Senate pro- ceeded then towards the final vote. First Caucus Another side of the currency issue, depreciation in the monetary stand- ards of foreign countries, brought on the first caucus of the session by HousesRepublicans, which resolved that tariffs should be raised to shut out some of the flood of imports from countries which have gone off the gold standard. The caucus over, Republicans and Democrats alike joined in a night session on minor bills. Rich Pardoned By Governor; To Leave State Latest Gargoyle Points Finger At 'Cork Sniffer,' Spyglasser' By BARTON KANE Michigan's collegiate cork-sniffers are pilloried in the portrait of a highly intoxicated young man on the cover of the special J-Hap edition of the Gargoyle which goes on sale today. The hero of the well-known spy- glass episode of some years ago is the recipient of the dubious honor of be- ing selected for the preposterous peo- ple page. Assistant to the dean, ban enforcer and auditor of student or- ganizations is depicted in strong colors with appropriate decorations. Taking a leaf from Liberty's book (no pun intended) a history of a tragic love affair is included with each chapter written by a different one of the modern stylists. The first chapter is by Zane (Purple Sage) Grey, with the successive pieces by Gertrude (Gibberish) Stein, Virginia (Stream-of-consciousness) W o o I f, Edgar Rice (Tarzan) Burroughs, and of course Ernest (Please, Mr.) Hemingway, and Elinor Glyn. Inasmuch as this is a J-Hop issue there is an expose of the life of the old maestro, Ben (nee Ben- jamin Ancel) Bernie, and a center- spread with a good picture of Ben and the lads. Much of the other material in the issue centers around the dance, house-parties and allied subjects. But to return to the cover-if you ever manage to get past it--there probably never was anybody quite so exhilarated from a sniff at the cork or even perhaps a mouthful of the devil water. The artist, Tom Powers, lent verisimilitude to the drawing by soaking the label from a bottle of fire water and pasting it on the picture. One of the startling facts revealed about the orchestra leader in the article dealing with his past is that as a youth his ambition was to be a soda-jerker but his mother wanted him to be a violinist. So he went to Cooper Institute in New York to learn to be an engineer, but finally decided that mother knew best and began his musical career by selling flddles at a bargain counter. r Socialist Party Announces City Election Ticket Myers Out Of Mayoralty Race; Campbell May Be Unopposed In Primary The city Socialist party last night announced the selection of a slate of candidates for the spring elec- tion, including nominations for posts on the council in each of the seven wards and for the offices of super- visor and township clerk in Ann Ar- bor township. Neil Staebler, partner in the Staeb- ler oil firm and son of Former Mayor Edward W. Staebler, is the candi- date of the party for alderman in the first ward. In the other. wards, the nominations were as follows: 2nd, Edward Linton, secretary of the Ann Arbor Trades Council; 3rd, Harry Reifen, secretary of the Typographi- 'cal Union; 4th, Rev. Harold P. Mar- ley, pastor of the Unitarian church and Socialist nominee for congress last fall; 5th, none; 6th, Charles Orr, graduate fellow in the economics de- partment; 7th, Prof. Roy W. Sellars, head of the philosophy department. In Ann Arbor township, the Social- ists have picked William Hemnitz, former auditor for a Detroit banking firm, for supervisor and Prof. Harold McFarlan of the engineering college for township clerk. No candidates were named for general city offices in Ann Arbor because the party felt that it had no candidates who were both eminently qualified and well- grounded in the principles of social-' ism. The Democrats have failed to find a candidate for the mayoralty fol- lowing the flat refusal of Dr. Dean W. Myers to enter the race. Robert A. Campbell, ("Uncle Bob") seemed to have no opposition for the Repub- lican nomination although F. A. Ca- how, local druggist, indicated that he may enter the race. Fred Benz, who was also mentioned as a candi- date announced that he would not run. Among the ward contests, Frank Audette, mentioned as a candidate for alderman, in the third ward, an- nounced that petitions were being circulated for him as a candidate for supervisor, instead. In the sixth ward, Prof. William Paton, of the economics department declined to run again for the council. In the fifth ward, the Democratic committee was still considering a numberof names for alderman al- though no candidate had, as yet, been picked. Railroad Jack Arrives 'To Sojourn For Winter' Railroad Jack, "professor - at - large," friend of the mighty, and wandering encyclopedia, arrived in Ann Arbor yesterday, bag, wagon and baggage, leaving his "suburban home," as he said, "to sojourn here for the winter." He plans to give demonstrations before University classes, accepting invitations from members of the faculty who visited him at his "roadside haven of phi- losophy." Among these invitations Jack said, was one from Dean Ed- monson and another to speak before Plan To House Visiting Teams SplitsOpinions Cappon, Keen Statements Clash; Fraternities Are Divided On Question Athletic coaches and fraternity men were of a divided opinion yes- terday on Ohio State's proposal to house visiting athletes in fraternity houses. "It would show a wonderful spirit on the part of the fraternities and do what other schoolsrhave done in the past," said Clifford Keen, varsity wrestling coach. "If they could help, the cost would be insignificant and it would be a big help to the visiting teams." Franklin C. Cappon, varsity bas- ketball coach, took the opposite view, however, and stated that he would not "want to house my boys in fra- ternities, as in a team sport it breaks up the team to split them up away from home. If the teams could be kept together, it would be better, but if you were to lodgeua whole team in a Afraternity house, the expense would be too great." Ivan Williamson, '33, last year's captain of the football team, said that he did not think the plan would work, and also that it would be ask- ing too much of the fraternity men. "I don't think that fraternities, in their present financial condition, will favor that sort of thing," he said. Members of the Chi Psi fraternity held a meeting yesterday and voted to support the plan, stating that it was a worth while project. Several fraternities have not yet discussed the plan, but it was learned last night that it will be brought be- fore fraternity meetings before the Interfraternity Council meets again. Backers of the movement were not at all optimistic last night about the possibility of the plan receiving the endorsement of the Council. They hope to win many of the doubtful fraternities over to their point of view, however, before a vote is taken 'on it. France Adopts 'Wait And See' Plan On Debts PARIS, Jan. 25.-(A)-United States Ambassador Walter E. Edge went on a fact-finding expedition to- day to the Quai D'Orsay, but he found Premier Paul-Boncour wary about indicating what line he is planning to take in respect to the war debts in view of recent develop- ments in Washington. Previously the premier had talked with Lord Tyrrell, the British am- bassador, who, it is understood, gave him the latest developments in the exchange of correspondence between Britain and President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt through Secretary o State Henry L. Stimson. Both conversations were describe authoritatively as informative in character and as including disarma ment. Mr. Edge went to the foreig i . F; n - n - nfr fin n ,- N ma Great Britain Enters Parley On War Debts Reservations Limit Scope Of World Conference PendingMeeting Roosevelt Silent To Foreign Comment Hoover Favors Raising Of Tariffs To Counteract Foreign Money Changes WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.- (A)- Great Britain today accepted Presi- dent-Elect Roosevelt's terms for a discussion of its war debt but made a reservation against deciding what questions will be considered by the World Economic Conference until there is a general meeting of all na- tions to be represented there. The British reply was delivered at the state department while a furious debate rang out in the Senate which indicated that if there has been any yielding in the Congressional opposi- tion to cancellation or revision, it is still of small proportions. Forwarded To Roosevelt The London memorandum was forwarded to Mr. Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Ga. It said Great Britain would be glad to exchange views with Mr. Roosevelt on other world eco- nomic problems besides the war debt but that it cannot in an individual meeting reach decisions "on ques- tions which will form the agenda of the World Economic Conference and in which many other nations are concerned." The President-Elect, confident that he has placr d things well in mo- tion toward negotiating an under- standing on the World Economic Conference later this year, made no response to foreign comment on his willingness. to talk things over with the atione-that have met their pay- ments-Great Britain, Italy, Czecho- slovakia, Finland, Latvia, and Lithu- ania. Hoover Sees Tariff Walls The foreign developments, however, brought forth Senatorial ire. Sena- tor Hiram Johnson, of California, be- came caustic about the British "su- periority complex" he said he read into Neville Chamberlain's assertion yesterday that any a g r e e m e n t reached with Roosevelt must be final. He resented, too, he said, the state- ments that "somebody is going to offer 10 per centsor 20 per cent to the United States." Another reaction was the assertion made on behalf of President Hoover that he feels that either the United States must build up its tariff walls to counteract depreciation of foreign currencies, or the latter must be re- established. Governor Puts Tax Measures In Final Form Welfare Bills Completed; New Measures Will Go To Legislature Soon LANSING, Jan. 25.-(')-Adminis- tration welfare bills were completed and a final draft of Gov. Comstock's combination sales and income tax measure was being whipped into shape Wednesday night. The welfare bills are expected" to go before the legislature Thursday. They provide for setting up a state emergency welfare body to have gen- eral supervision over all welfare funds whether received through state or reconstruction finance channels. The state commission would deal with county emergency commissions to be headed by judges of probate. A companion bill would legalize the contracts the state has been entering with local governmental units to ob- tain R. F. C. loans. Gov. Comsotck said "it probably a will not be necessary to follow these 1 measures with a direct state appro- f priation for welfare relief." Wher he delivered his message to the legis- d lature a few weeks ago the governor a feared the state would have to ap- - propriate funds to aid communities. n Now he believes the necessity fo: - -n -r ndm llr is -am i State Colleges Are Defended By Edmonson Educator Points Out That Schools Are Located In Strategic Positions Admits 'Too Many Are Certificated' Says Many Will Return To Higher Institutions After Stress Period. Charges that former legislatures of Michigan have shown poor judg- ment and acted unwisely in provid- ing teachers' colleges throughout the state were attacked yesterday byt Dean J. B. Edmonson of the Schooll of Education. "As a matter of fact," said DeanI Edmonson, "the Legislature has established fewer of these institu- tions than are found in some of the other states. For example, Minnesotat has six teachers' colleges, Wisconsin 10, and Pennsylvania 13." Colleges Well Located Dean Edmonson, who is also thef former president and secretary of the North Central Association of Col-~ leges and Secondary Schools, pointed1 out that the four teachers' college in Michigan are strategically located from the standpoint of the geography of the state. Northern State Teachers' College at Marquette is the only four-year college in the Upper Peninsula Western State Teachers' College a Kalamazoo serves an important are and a large population which ha become very dependent on it. Centra State Teachers' College at Mount Pleasant not only serves a vast area but is in the geographical section that a few years ago sought to se- cure the establishment of a fift state teachers' college. Michigan .State Normal College at Ypsilanti i in the most thickly populated part of the state and has built up a very strong constituency. It is one of the oldest and best known teachers' col- leges in the United States. All four of these colleges, says Dean Edmonson, enjoy the full rec- ognition of the North Central Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. "Too Many Certificated" "It must be conceded," he con- tinued, "that there are now too many young people certificated each year for teaching. In the last few years the teachers' colleges have recognized this fact and have taken measures to increase the requirements foren- trance as well as to increase the re- quirements for the teacher's certifi- cate. In all probability the time will come when the teacher-training in- stitutions of the state will enforce such exacting requirements for the certificate that less than half of those entering as freshmen will be eligible to receive it." Dean Edmonson also remarked that "it should be remembered that the tremendous growth of the sec- ondary schools furnishes every indi- cation that Michigan will need more rather than less in the field of higher education." The fact that there are 5,152 high school graduates of 1932 enrolled as postgraduates in 211 Michigan high schools is some indication of the large number of students who will flock to the various higher institu- tions as soon as better days return, he said. Freshmen Granted Permission To Live In Chapter Houses i-Hop Tickets Over Half Sold, Report Shows Independents Will Meet Tonight In The Union To Form Booth Groups More than half of the tickets for the Class of 1934 J-Hop on Feb. 10 have already been sold, Robert Saltz- stein, chairman of the ticket com- mittee, announced last night. Ac- cording to a check-up made yester- day of the various agencies disposing of them, 378 tickets had been sold up to 6 p. m. yesterday, Saltzstein stated. "Inasmuch as the sale is limited to 700, we consider this advance sale as exceptional," he said. "In view of the fact that more than this num- ber have been reserved, a sell-out is expected by a week before the dance." Saltzstein urged that those planning to attend the J-Hop do not put off purchasing tickets until a Jay or two before-hand, as it is prob- able that there will be none left. A meeting of independents who ;lan to attend the J-Hop and want 'o be included in a booth group will 3e held at 7:30 p. m. today in room 302 of the Union, it was announced :y Nils Lundberg, booths chairman. All independents interested were urg- Ad by Lundberg to attend the meet- ing. Special care is being taken in the preparation of the floor of the intra- mural gymnasium to insure a smooth dance floor,. Lee Qiwell, '34L, vice- ;hairman said yesterday. The floor is to be given a light coat of liquid wax which will be given 24 hours to dry and then powdered wax will be dusted over the surface. Ruhlig To Headf Socialist Club; Others Electedc Constitution Is Amendedf Affecting Membership_ In Organizationt Arthur J. Ruhlig, '33, was elected executive-secretary of the Michigant Socialist Club at a meeting last night in the Union. Frances Marmarosh, Grad., was elected recording-secre- tary. Other members of the newly. elected executive committee are Wil-1 fred Sellars, '33, Charles A. Orr, Grad., and Wayne Erickson, Grad. An amendment to the constitution was passed that provided that mem- bership in the organization be open to all who attend three meetings, receive a vote of approval; and pay the semester's dues of fifty cents. It was decided that the Used Book Exchange would resume operation, from Feb. 8 to 22 in the usual loca- tion in Lane Hall. The purpose of the exchange, ac- cording to Erickson, director of the project, is to give students an oppor- tunity to buy and sell used books at reasonable prices. Students may place second-hand books on sale at their own prices. If the books are sold, a 10 per cent commission is charged by the exchange for costs of handling, it was said. Several hundred dollars worth of books were sold for students last year, Erickson said, in commenting on the success of the enterprise. In the past, demands for second-hand books have far exceeded the supply, it was stated. Senate Committee Votes New Ruling In Spite Of Protest Petition Signed By 600 Householders Tomorrow Deadline For Moving Notices Last Year's J-Hop Rules Also Passed; 282 Men May Change Residences, According To Survey Over the sharp protests of Ann Ar- bor householders, the Senate Com- mittee on Student Affairs yesterday granted freshmen permission to live in fraternity houses during the sec- ond semester. The new ruling, which was first adopted by the Interfraternity Coun- cil, allows first year men who are eligible for initiation and who have the written consent of their parents to move into fraternities. A committee representing 600 househoulders, headed by Mrs. Clara Crawford, 1321 N. University, pro- tested to the Senate Committee yes- terday on the grounds that the new ruling would be an injustice to them. Their pleas were overruled, however, as the measure passed by a sub- stantial margin. Turner Warns Freshmen Edwin T. Turner, '33, president of the Interfraternity Council, issued a last warning to all freshmen who in- tend to take advantage of the new ruling to notify their householders by tomorrow that they are moving ut. They must also present Joseph A. Bursley, dean of students, with the written consent of their parent or guardian granting thenpermission to live in fraternities before they will be allowed to move in, he said. A recent survey shows that 282 first year men may take advantage of the new ruling, which will mean that severalhouses on the verge of financial ruin will "be "able to con- tinue in existence. A committee has been appointed by the Judiciary Comlmittee of the Interfraternity Council to investigate the possibility of combining the weaker houses on the campus in order to bolster up their financial standing. Although the plan is acceptable to the local fraternity men, it is believed it will meet with the disapproval of the na- tional organizations of the various chapters. Alumni Pleased 'The Alumni Interfraternity Coun- il is very much gratified with the Senate Committee's action as it will mean a great deal to most of the houses," N. S. Potter, president of the Alumni Council, said last night. The Alumni Council went on record several days ago as favoring the measure. The J-Hop rules, drawn up by the J-Hop committee, were accepted by the Senate Committee. The Student Council revised the rules but the Senate Committee disregarded their changes and passed on the measure as it was originally drafted by the committee. The rules are practically the same as those in force last year. A com- plete list will be published and dis- tributed in a few days, Charles Jewett, '34, chairman, stated last night. Red Cross To Withdraw From CityWelfare Acting on orders from national headquarters of. the association, the Ann Arbor chapter of the American Red Cross yesterday announced its withdrawal from the city Community Fund. The Red Cross, local leaders were told, should operate as an independ- ent unit in welfare work. It was eM- phasized, however, that this decision did not restrain local organization heads from co-operating with lead- ers of other organizations, even though breaking any definite affiha- Has Of To Served Seven Years His Term; Will Go California JACKSON, Jan. 25.-(I')-Arthur C. Rich, who has spent the last seven of his 29 years in prison for attack- ing a Battle Creek (Mich.) student nurse, today was paroled, on condi- tion that he leave Michigan. W. Alfred Debo, . state commis- sioner of pardons and paroles, an- nounced that he had signed the order for parole of the wealthy former Battle Creek man, and Gov. William A. Comstock, at Lansing, said that he would sign the papers. Rich said that he would go at once to Cali- fornia, where he will be employed by his father, George R. Rich, former Battle Creek manufacturer. The parole, made possible through "extra good time" allowance for! Rich, who was characterized by prison officials as a model inmate, ended a seven-year fight by his fam- ily to bring about Rich's release. Sentenced in 1926 after a sensa- tional trial in which Louise King, the student nurse, charged that Rich had attempted to attack her and had in- flicted numerous injuries, including a fractured jaw, when she resisted, Rich faced the remainder of his life Jacobson's Plans To Remodel Shop Jacobson's dress shop yesterday announced that plans were complete for expansion of the store to include a new unit, made possible by the acquisition of additional store space. Although no date has been set for the formal opening, it is expected that the remodeling will be finished within two weeks. An ornamental archway will connect the addition to the old part of the establishment and the new lighting fixtures will be of a modernistic design. A new front to harmonize with the present store will be built for the new unit. The new unit will include a corset department with an expert corsettier and three new ranges in dress price. The space was formerly occupied by the Stofflet news agency and phono- graph shop. StielAnt AQki nr Hlnl i r J r ROOMS ROOMS ROOMS
