VOL. XLIV No. 66 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1933 PRICE FIVE CENTS I.. MICHIGAN GETS NATIONAL TITLE Question Of Student Work Is In Tanole Smith Sees No Provisions For Or Against Hiring Students Under CWA Many Applicants Are Refused Jobs Required 30-Hour Week Main Obstacle; 'White Collar' Jobs Lacking The possibility of students being employed in either of the two Uni- versity Civil Works Administration projects has resolved itself into what was termed last night a "tangled proposition," by Harold D. Smith, di- rector of the Michigan Municipal League, who is prominently affiliated with the local CWA administration. Students who registered in the basement of the City Postoffice yes- terday in the hope of obtaining em- ployment on the CWA projects were told in many cases that their chances of obtaining work were slim because they had no family dependents in many cases, and because they would be unable to work the quota of 30 hours a week while in the University. The lack of "vhite collar" jobs was also cited as an additional blockade against students enjoying the bene- fits of the Rooseveltian CWA pro- gram. "Apparently there are no rules or regulations prohibiting the employ- ment of students," Mr. Smith said.. "On he other hand, there is no stipulation in favor of the students. It seems at present that there may be some chance of using them, but there is still the 30-hour week ob- stacle to be surmounted. "Possibly the Unversity,through more direct negotiations with Lans- ing, can obtain 'white collar' or re- search-type jobs for students at a later date. Wisconsin was able to gain approval of 'white collar' CWA work, although not for students, but we may be able to do this for stu- dents." Under the present plan, Washte-. naw County will be able to employ about 2,000 men. More than 7,000 have applied for work. -The University environs are being scoured for possible CWA projects of a type from which students could benefit, according to Prof. Lewis M. Gram, director of plant extension, but he added that all there was to do for a while is to "mark time." Student Rates For Christmas Are Announced' Round trip rates for students re- turning home over the Christmas holidays have been announced by lo- cal ticket agents for airlines, buses, and railroads. The lowest round trip railroad rates that have ever been offered, single fare and a ninth, were an- nounced by local officials of the Michigan Central Railroad. This rate is good anywhere in the United States except the New England States. This special rate is good only from Dec. 14 to Jan. 15.I The local ticket office of the Grey- hound Bus Lines also announced a new low in special student round trip rates of a one way fare plus one dol- lar, good to all points east of St. Louis. Frederick S. Randall, manager of the Michigan Alumni Travel Bureau, official Ann Arbor ticket office for all airplane and steamship companies, announced that there will be no spe- cial student holiday rates on the air- lines. He pointed out, however, that the airline companies in general have substantially reduced their regular rates in the last year. Colonel Robins Holds Unbiased Views, StanfordProfessor Says Col. Raymond Robins, who is lec- turing here on "Russia - After 15 Years," at 8 p. m. Tuesday, in Hill Auditorium, under the auspices of the Oratorical Association, is charac- terized by Prof. L. E. Bassett, head of the division of speech at Stan- ford University, as "a man not in- clined to view a situation through a knothole but rather a man who takes Mr. Bassett will appear with Prof. Julio del Toro of the Span- ish department in a program to be presented at 8 p. m. Wednesday in Mason Hall under the auspices of Zeta Phi Eta, speech society. There is no charge for the pro- gram, and there will be an op- portunity to meet the speakers in- formally after the program. an impersonal, unbiased, broad- minded view of the subject which he is discussing." Professor Bassett, who is visiting here prior to attending the annual, convention of the National Associa- tion of Teachers of Speech, of which he is president, said that Robins is a quiet, conversationalist type of speaker and does not declaim and gesture. "I heard him deliver a lec- ture in an assembly at Stanford where he kept a group of students respectfully interested and silent for two hours," stated Professor Bassett. Colonel Robins may be remembered as the man who in September of 1932 caused nation-wide concern when he mysteriously disaippeared while en route to Washington to confer with his personal friend former President Hoover. It was feared by many that because of Colonel Robins' militant advocacy of prohibition and frequent crusades for this cause, that bootleggers, who had previously written threatening letters, had done away with him. A nation-wide search was insti- tuted with no results. However, several months later, after govern- ment secret service men had given (Continued on Page 8) ..n .., Jewish-Gentile Problem Cited At Symposium Intolerance Is Growing, Waterman Says; Seven Others On Program Belief that there is a growing Jew- ish-Gentile intolerance problem in the United States was expressed last night by Prof. Leroy Waterman, head of the departmnet of oriental lan- guages and literatures, at a sympo- sium on intolerance held at the Union. This problem, Professor Waterman said, was developing in districts where Gentiles have contacts with a large and increasing group of Jews, con- tending that it was not so much the number of Jews in these large groups as the kind which brought about the trouble. Prof. Preston 'V4. Slosson of the history department was the first speaker, saying that two cures for intolerance were scienctific informa- tion and a flaming belief in liberty. Prof. DeWitt Parker, chairman of the department of philosophy dis- cussed the problem from the realm of ideas and in regard to man's phil- osophy of life. The afternoon session of the sym- posium was devoted to a discussion of the causes of intolerance, led by Prof. Z. Clark Dickinson of the economics department, Prof. Walter B. Pillsbury, chairman of the psychology depart- ment, Prof. Roderick D. McKenzie, chairman of the sociology depart- ment, and Prof. Roy W. Sellars of the philosophy department. Prof. John L. Brumm, head of the journal- ism department, acted as chairman. Professor Dickinson laid particular stress on the economic causes for intolerance between racial groups which are living in contact with one another, saying that many of the frictions which are attributed to ra- (Continued on Page 3) Plan Council To Administer Good Will Fund Representatives of church, liberal, and foreign organizations on cam- pus will meet at 5 p. m. tomorrow in the Union to vote on a constitution for a proposed permanent council of their groups. A committee headed by Kendall Wood, '34, of the Liberal Students Union, temporary chairman of the group, was appointed at the last meeting a week ago and is working on the constitution, which will pro- vide a name for the council and set up a definite membership. Officers will also be elected. Congregational Students Ruthvens Will Depart Today For New York President Sails Tuesday; To Look Over Excava- tions In Egypt President and Mrs. Alexander G.

The Wolverines were an immense- lyimproved team over the outfit that lost a one-sided game to Western State on Monday, and on several oc- casions their ,scoring spurts gave them a comfortable lead, but the Green and White cagers were not to be denied. Led by their tall center, Maurice Buysse, who was high point man of both teams with 13 points, the Spar- tans came back after trailing by a point with seven minutes to go, to win in a driving finish.' Allen Leads Wolverines Fred Allen led his Wolverine team- mates in scoring with a total of nine points, scored on four field goals and a foul. His pivot shot from near the foul line put Michigan back in the running on several occasions. Coach Franklin C. Cappon said after the game that he was disap- pointed over losing such a close game, but expressed himself as be- ing satisfied with the way his team played on the whole. He said that on several occasions the first team did not take advantage of opportuni- ties to work the ball in close, and said that was the reason why he sent a sophomore team in near the end of the first half. The mentor said that the team was much better than on Monday, prais- ing particularly the work of two sophomores, George Ford and Chelso Tomagno. Ford, playing at a regu- lar forward position, collected seven points and was the spark plug of the Wolverine offense. Tomakno sub- stituted for Oliver at guard and was instrumental in starting the spurt that almost won the game. Michigan Scores First Michigan got away to a flying start, scoring five points in the first min- ute. Allen opened the fireworks with a shot from under the basket when 10 seconds had elapsed. Twelve sec- onds later Oliver dribbled in for an- other basket and a moment later he cashed in on a free throw to make the score 5 to 0 before the Spartans could get going. Buysse got his first point of the game on a free throw. Both teams were guarding closely and fouls were frequent. Plummer missed two con- secutive attempts from the foul line before Buysse cashed in for a second free throw. Herrick ran the count to 5 to 4 with a long shot that didn't touch the rim, and Buysse put the Spar- tans ahead for the first time with a shot from close in. Score Tied At 6-All Nebraska Rated In Second Place; Minnesota A n d Pittsburgh Next Princeton Ranked In Seventh Position Rockne Trophy Is Offered By 'Four Horsemen' In Honor Of Late Coach CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Dec. 9.--(P) - The University of Michigan football team, named champions of the Big Ten for the fourth consecutive year, was announced winner of the Knute K. Rockne National Intercollegiate Football Trophy by Prof. Frank G. Dickinson, originator of the Dickin- son rating system. It was the second consecutive year the Wolverines have received the Dickinson first rating. According to the system, Nebraska won second place in the national rating and Min- nesota third. Michigan, although tied, finished its season undefeated and was given trophy preference be- cause of its extremely difficult sched- ule. Southern California ranked sixth, aided to its position by tp.e strong intersectional record of its conference. Princeton Ranked Seventh Between Pittsburgh in fourth place and Stanford in eleventh, there was only the smallest of margins. Prince- ton, -although undefeated, did not play an exceptionally strong sched ule and was ranked seventh. In the rating granted, each con- ference is ranked on the basis of con ference games. The intersectional games are then used to determine relative standings of various confer ences. The final step is the formu- lation of the national ranking sys- tem from the intersectional games in connection with the conference rat- ings, Dickinson said. Victories over Big Ten first division teams count 30 points plus 2.38, or 32.38. Their figures for other conferences depend ' on the figures given for the intersec- tional standings. The Rockne trophy is offered by the "Four Horsemen," Harry Stuhl- dreher, James Crowley, Don Miller, and Elmer Layden. It must be won three times in a decade in order for a school to obtain permanent pos- session. 'Overcame Stronger Opposition' Commenting on the rating, Pro- fessor Dickinson said, "I do not claim that Michigan is national champion. My rating merely means that the Wolverines have overcome stronger opposition than any other team in the nation - the strength of the op- position being measured by my meth- od of rating, which gives more credit for beating strong teams." The following figures show the rel- ative standings of the different sec- tions: Big Ten, plus 2.38; Pacific Coast, plus 1.36; East, 0.00; Big Six, minus 2.56; Southern, minus 4.09; Southwestern, minus 5.19. Duke, Columbia, and Alabama were the three leading teams just below the first 11. This marks the comple- tion of the first decade of Dickinson's national rating system. No school has been on the list of the 11 leading teams every year but Southern Cali- fornia has been on the list nine years out of 10. Notre Dame ranks second with seven out of 10 times. Announce Lectures Of Vanguard Club Norman Thomas, Socialist candi- date for the Presidency in 1928 and 1932, will be the first speaker on the 1934 program of the Michigan Van- guard Club, it was announced by Kendall Wood, president. Thomas will speak Jan. 5 on "Stu- dents and Social Revolution." He will be followed on Jan. 15 by Frank For Second Straight Dickinson Honors Eleven Year; Maria Olszewska, Opera Star, Received Education In Munich Maria Olszewska, distinguished op- eratic star, who will appear here Dec. 14 in the Choral Union Concert held in Hill Auditorium, made her Ameri- can debut five years ago with the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Born on a large estate on the Dan- ube of wealthy, music-loving parents, she obtained her musical education in Munich under Professor Erler. She has traveled extensively in Europe, and has gained an invaluable com- mand of languages. She came to this country preceded by cable dispatches terming her "Europe's first contralto." She had personages about to appear on the stage. I suppose it was nervousness that made me suddenly hysterical, for I began to laugh and couldn't stop. The audience began to laugh too, and the whole company was fur- ious. I was curtly told to get off, and it was a long time before I was ever allowed to try to redeem my- self." Since then she has become a favor- ite at all leading opera houses in Europe. She has sung at the Vien- na Staatsoper, the Berlin Stadtische Oper, the festivals in Munich, at Convent Garden in London, in the
