Fisher Calls
New Russian
Attitude Good
Speaks On 'Significance Of
Russian Recognition' To
Educational Group
Ienderson Urges
A New Way Of Life
Says New Deal Proves That
Laissez-Faire Idea Can't
Continue
It is far better that we have the risks
of changing governments than the
old imperialism, Dr. Frederick B.
Fisher of the First Methodist Epis-
copal Church told the afternoon meet-
ing of the Institute of Adult Educa-
tion yesterday in his discussion of
the "Economic and Political Signifi-
cance of the Recognition of Russia
by the United States."
If the United States falls down com-
mercially in the Far East, it can be
attributed to a lack of outstanding
men in our foreign service, Dr. Fisher
said, "On the other hand, Russia has
her most important national figures
in China building up influence and
friendship."
Discusses Russia
In discussing the political and eco-
nomic make-up of Russia, Dr. Fisher
stressed the morbid, emotional atti-
tude of the Russians and called Stalin
a "colossal mind."
The increase of Russian territory
in Asia with a shrinking of her boun-
daries in Europe was pointed to as a
significant move on the part of Rus-
sia into the Far East.
The morning session heard in ad-
dition to Dr. Henderson, the discus-
sion of "Great Decorators of Japan"
by Benjamin Marsh, lectures on Far
Eastern art and in the afternoon, the
institute was addressed by Wynn
Wright of radio station WWJ who
spoke on "Community Dramatics."
At the conclusion of the talks, a class
in parliamentary law was conducted
by Mrs. Emma A. Fox, nationally
known parliamentarian.
Addressing the Institute yesterday
morning on "The Philosophy of The
New Deal, Dr. W. D. Henderson, di-
rector of the University Extension Bu-
reau, declared that "one of the most
important lessons of the depression is
that the old laissez-faire method of
meeting industrial conditions cannot
continue if the present social order is
to be maintained."
Pleads for New Way
Dr. Henderson pleaded for the
American people to accept the correc-
tion in society as brought out by the
depression and to build "a new way of
life both for individuals and na-
tions. There is something more be-
hind the New Deal than merely the
economic crisis, he declared. To ex-
plain its causes as well as to under-
stand its effects, necessitate going
back many years into the economic
life of this country, he said.
After two years of the worst de-
pression in modern times, Dr. Hender-
son told his audience, the American
people came to the realization that
"the Gods in whom they had trusted
had failed them, and they found
themselves in the anomalous position
of having a famine in the midst of
plenty." Even then, he said, it was not
until the inauguration of President
Roosevelt that anyone "dared chal-
lenge our traditional beliefs in rugged
individualism."
Calling the National Securities Act
and the National Industrial Recovery
Act the two most important parts of
the New Deal, Dr. Henderson said
that "it is surprising that they have
worked as well as they have."
Fire In Ontario.
Prison Second,
In- Two Years
KINGSTON, Ont., May 15.- Fire
which broke out late Tuesday in the
penitentiary here sent vast clouds of
dense black smoke rolling over the
prison walls and drew a throng of
thousands.
Reports of what was taking place
behind the tall gray walls were
meagre, but it was reported that the
prisoners were all locked in their cells
at the time the blaze was discovered
and that there was no rioting.
Kingston police learned that the
fire started in the "change room" -
a place where prisoners change their
clothing. It is housed in a cross-
shaped building in the center of the

Men Students Not
'Cents'; Can't Play
On 'alner courts
Because they "haven't acted like
gentlemen," male students of the Un-
iversity may soon be entirely deprived
of the use of the women's tennis
courts at Palmer Field.
In the past men have been allowed
to use the courts when accompany-
ing women students or when the
courts were not already in use by the
women but this year they have had
to be with one or more of the fairer
sex and may soon be put on the out-
side of the fence to stay, according
to Dr. Margaret.Bell, director of phys-
ical education for women.
The fact that men students were
often discourteous when asked to re-
linquish the courts to women is one
of the reasons for the proposed
change in affairs, Dr. Bell claims.
Such action, it seems, made things
rather difficult for the girls, who "or-
dinarily don't like to ask favors of
male students at Michigan anyway."
The Board in Control of Physical
Education advised Dr. Bell when the
courts were first opened not to allow
their use by men, it is understood,
since the men were already badly in
need of more courts and it was felt
that they could be gotten with more
ease if the men were not allowed to
trespass upon feminine territory.
And now, because "hospital order-
lies and townspeople" - as well as
men students -have made too much
of a good thing, the "moral advan-
tages of mixed outdoor sport," which
Dr. Bell considers one of the main
advantages of mixed play on the
courts, may soon be done away with.

The 1934 edition of the Michigan-

first time today, Arend Vyn, Jr., '34,
business manager announced. Distri-
bution will begin at 2 p.m. at the
business off'ices of the 'Ensian in the
Student Publications Building, May-
nard Street. Sale of the books will
continue for several weeks.
This year's 'Ensian is of slightly
larger than usual size, covered with
brown cloth, backed with rich cream
colored material, and bearing the
name down the front in brown letters
over the lighter background. It has,
been characterized by the attractive-
ness of its makeup.
All the important features which
have been seen in the yearbooks of the
past, including campus photographs,
various group sections, and athletics,
in addition to numerous departments
new this year, are incorporated in the
'Ensian of 1934.
The sale price of the book is $5.
The 'Ensians will be distributed im-
mediately to those calling at the
offices who have paid up fully on their
coupons. Second and third payments
must be made by those in arrears be-
fore they will be permitted to procure
the books, Vyn said.
Athletic Board
To Pass Budget
Early In June
The Board in Control of Athletics
will meet sometime early in June, ac-
cording to Prof. Henry Anderson.
acting chairman in the absence of
Prof. Ralph Aigler, for the regulai
meeting at which the budget for the
1934-35 season is definitely fixed and
general policy with regard to foot-
ball and other fall sports is deter-
mined.
Interest in the meeting this year
will center on the question of who
will replace Jack Blott as line coach
next fall. Rumor has been rife for
months over the appointment but
nothing definite will be known until
Athletic Director Yost makes his
recommendation at this meeting and
the Board takes action.
A routine matter will be the formal
ratification of the raise in salary for
Coach Harry Kipke. There is the
possibility that commensurate in-
creases may be made in the salaries
of assistant coaches to keep them
from following Blott into the East.
Also coming up for discussion will
be the price of football tickets for the
1934 season. This meeting annually
decides to make anv rchances and -i

Change To Allow Earlier
Grid Practice Will Be
Consie d
By ARTHUR CARSTENS
Michigan football players will eat
one meal a day at a University-
provided training table next year if
the recommendation of Harry G.
Kipke and other Conference coaches
has any influence on the faculty
members of the Big Ten board in
their meeting at Chicago this week-
end.
Both Mr. Kipke and Fielding H.
Yost, athletic director, will attend the
Chicago meeting and will discuss the
training table policy.
The other important matter per-
taining to football to be placed be-
fore the Board is the plan to allow
fall grid practice to start Sept. 10
instead of Sept. 15 as the present rule
stipulates. .
Professor Henry C. Anderson of the
Engineering College will probably be
Michigan's faculty representative at
the meeting. Prof. Anderson is tak-
ing Professor Ralph Aigler's place
as Chairman of the Board In Con-
trol of Athletics while the latter is in
California recuperating from a seri-
ous illnerss. Professor Anderson said
yesterday that other matters may
keep him from going to Chicago but,
in that case, another Michigan fac-
ulty member would be present.
Taking an opposite stand from
Mr. Kipke on the matter of a foot-
ball training table, Professor Ander-
son said, "We had so much trouble
with the training table many years
ago that I would think carefully be-
fore voting for its restoration." He
believes that such extra food as .-n
training table would provide is not
necessary.
With regard to the Sept. 10 prac-
tice o p e n i n g Professor Anderson
would not commit himself, saying
that it might be a good thing for
some schools that opened sessions
early or that had early games. He
does not believe it necessary in Mich-

Two Fliers Killed
In Freak Collision
SHREVEPORT, La., May 15. - (P)
-A freak collision of pursuit planes
after one of them struck a telephone
wire sent two army lieutenants of
Barksdale Field here to death in the
Red River today.
The body of Lieut. Norman W.
Speaker was recovered by divers late
in the afternoon, and a search was
continued for the body of Lieut. Wil-
liam H. Doolittle.
A farmer said he saw the planes
flying at a low altitude when one of
them struck a telephone line spanning
the river and veered into the other
after its landing gear was sheared.
Both plunged into the river.
'TRIBE' TAKES DEGENER
Richard Degener, '34, national in-
tercollegiate diving champion and
member of Chi Psi fraternity, was
initiated last night into Michigamua,
senior honorary society.
Alternative Methods
Be Considered By
Year's Conuncil
No dissolution of the Undergrad-
uate Council at the present time, nor
any change in the manner in which
the organization is formed, yesterday
was decided as the wisest policy for
the present Council members, most
of whom are graduating this year,
to pursue.
The members believe that any ac-
tion they would' take toward the
abolition of the body would be out-
of-place inasmuch as they would not
be in school next year and an at-
tempt to dictate policies of student
government to those who will be in
important senior positions would be
unwise.
Most members felt, also, that re-
gardless of what action they might
take this year, the new senior class
would ask for some,, type of senior
governing body The problem, it was
therefore decided, was one for lead-
ers of the junior class to solve.
The Council decided, however, that
it would meet with the newly formed
Council some time this spring and
explain the situation with regard to
student government to these new
members. Alternative forms of stu-
dent governiment may be presented
to the group at this time.
Election to the Council is auto-
matic. Those people who hold other
important campus positions become
members of the organization with-
out any further election. This mem-
bership includes the presidents of
various senior and junior honorary
societies, of the Union and the
League, managing'editoi of the Mich-
igan Daily, and similar campus or-
ganizations
This was the first year in which a
Council was formed automatically.
Previous to this year there has been
a general campus election. The new
method was tried this year in an ef-
fort to eradicate the evils of politics
which dominated in the old system.
Objections to the Council have
been: first, it is not representative of
the student body; and, second, there
has been a general lack of interest in
what the Council was doing. This
latter, it has been said, has been
manifest even among the Council
members themselves, most of whom
don't show up at meetings.

New Lantern Nioht Ceremony
Is To Honor Senior Women
By JOSEPHINE E. McLEAN
Several changes have been inau-
gurated in the Lantern Night cere-
mony, which is to be held Wednesday,
May 23, at Palmer Field. The event
will once again honor senior women,
who are invited to march in the pro-
cession in unlimited numbers.
However, instead of permitting all
freshmen, sophomore, and junior
women to participate, 24 members of
each class will be selected on basis
of activity points to march. Leaders,
the four students in each class with
the highest number of points, will
be maintained, although the positions
of aides, eight students active in class
affairs, will be abolished.
The Lantern Night program will in-
clude Play Day, an event honoring the
ci., -nvvhp,co f an n irnrtnifnrv T mn'..-
Lantern Night, will arrange the
games, while Miss Mary Stewart, and
Jane Arnold, '35, are in charge of the
supper.
Play Day is a revival of Field Day,
which was originally part of Lantern
Night. Field Day became a separate
affair when it evolved into a pageant,
and was until recently the freshman
project.
The procession will commence at
8:30 p.m., with the Varsity Band
under the direction of Prof. Nicholas
Falcone as accompaniment. Miss
Marie Hartwig and Billie Griffiths,
'35, will assist with the lines. The
march will end with a block M forma-
tion. Mary Stirling, '35, is responsible
for the formation.
