XLIV No. 179 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1934 PRICE FIVE CENTS University Problems Diseussed' Alumni Association Votes For Plan To Advertise' The University Noted Publisher Is Principal Speaker Scholarship Policy Meets With The Approval Of Convention Delegates GRAND RAPIDS, June 1. - /P) - The reforms in the system of estab- lishing scholarships for deserving students along with new methods of advertising the University as a cen- ter of culture instead of a tax bur- den, were approved tonight bycthe members of the University of Michi- gan Alumni Association, holding their triennial convention here. Mrs. Leona B. Diekema, Ann Ar- bor, widow of Gerritt J. Diekema, late ambassador to The Netherlands, sug- gested $500 a year as a minimum scholarship fund. The discussions brought out the proposition that the scholarship should provide for all of a student's -needs throughout his university course. On the problem of enlightening the public on the work and facilities of1 the University, Dr. Alexander G. Ruthven suggested that the Univer- sity might employ a newspaper writer+ to advertise the work of the school., No action was taken on the sugges- tion, although delegates approved the suggestion of Howard Donnelly, De-] troit, that-the literary and journalism] students might fill the need by pro-I viding campus material for news- papers. W. B. Shaw, director of alumni ac- tivities, pointed out that not only did the university need to be advertised,7 but that the departments within the, schohl should be made acquainted with the work b the other depart- ments. The alumni that gathered here for the luncheon today heard the first of several speakers discuss problems of higher education. As the principal speaker at a lunch-] eon, S. Emory Thomason, publisher] of the Chicago Daily Times, warned against what he said was the illusion that the province of the University is to teach the individual students how to make a living. He gave as his belief that the Uni- versity's duty was to disseminate to youth generally a richer civilization] and capacity for living. While it, should teach, in a broad sense, how the average boy or girl may attain a position of security, he .said the Uni- versity should not be considered a, failure if each individual failed to gain that knowledge. "Since we have found that a high school graduate makes a better milk wagon driver than a college gradu- ate," he said, "many persons have questioned the value of a college edu- cation. The old idea was that peo- ple went to the University to learna how to make a living. Then, when we learned that the students didn't always learn this, we grew skeptical. Now we are beginning to realize that the University is a repository of knowledge for the benefit of the peo- ple of the state as a whole." Thomason, who is a Michigan alumnus, expressed satisfaction with President Roosevelt's policies and said he had "deep faith in the power of theI so-called 'brain trusters' to solve ourj problems." Toledo Edison Co. Strike Called Off TOLEDO, June 1. - (AP) - Persuad- ing their employers to give them a 20 per cent wage restoration and other concessions, union electrical workers employed by the Toledo Edi- son Co. tonight called off their strike set for 7 a.m. tomorrow. The wage increase, effective today, will go not only to approximately 300 union members, but to the entire com- pany personnel of 900 including ste- nographers and clerks. At the same time, jtist before or- ganized labor began a huge parade a mass meeting to announce plans for a general strike, Charles P. Taft, fed- eral mediator, announced that a set- tlemnent may be expected soon in the .atnmiHieworkers' stike which re- Quadrangle Dedication Expected To Draw Many Alumni, State Officials Urges Disarmament Wilson Is Named Winner Of Highest 4- The formal dedication of the Law' Quadrangle, to take place June 15, will attract hundreds of Law School alumni as well as officers of the State administration and legislature, the Michigan judiciary, and delegates from American and European uni- versities, if the present indications hold true. The principal addresses for the occasion will be delivered by Justice Harlan F. Stone of the United States Supreme Court; Marvin Bris- tol Rosenberry, '93L, chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court; New- ton D. Baker, and Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard Law School. The complete program for the day's activities was given out yesterday by the Law School office. Registration for guests will begin at 9 a.m. and continue throughout the morning in the Lawyer's Club. There will also be informal tours of inspection of the various buildings forming the quad- rangle during the morning. An in- formal luncheon at the Union will be followed at 2 p.m. by addresses in Hill Auditorium. President Ruthven will preside at the session at which, Mr. Justice Stone, Dean Pound, and Dean Henry M. Bates of the Law School will be the speakers. Dean Bates will also be toastmaster at the dinner to be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Lawyer's Club. He will intro- duce Regent J. O. Murfin, Chief Jus- tice Rosenberry and Newton D. Ba- ker. To accommodate the large crowd which is expected for the dinner, ar- rangements have been made to take care of the overflow in the Union ball- room. Those who will be unable to eat at the Lawyer's Club will go from the Union to the club to hear the speakers. The entire Law Quadrangle is the gift of William W. Cook, '82L, and is composed of four buildings enclosing a large city block. The Lawyer's. Club, the largest single unit in the group, extends the whole length of the north side of the quadrangle. It includes a dormitory, social hall, offices, and rooms for visiting guests. The south side of the quadrangle is formed by the Legal Research Library together with one wing of Hutchins Hall. In the latter are housed the classrooms and offices of, the Law School. An- other part of Hutchins Hall along with the large dining hall closes in. the west side of the quadrangle while the east side is formed by the John P. Cook dormitory. Although other parts of the quadrangle had been in use for several years, Hutchins Hall was first opened only last fall, and at that time the Law School moved from its original quarters in Haven Hall to the new building.

Montana City Struck By Snowstorm After Rain BUTTE, Mont., June 1. --(/P)-- A snowstorm struck Butte late today on the heels of several hours of heavy rain. The snow caught pedestrians and motorists alike unprepared and ser- iously hampered traffic. Dissension Within The Ranks Arises As Socialists Mleet DETROIT, June 1. - (AP) -Despite the warning of the chairman, Leo Krzycki, in his keynote address that "minute deviations of theory to the right or left" would jeopardize the "greatest opportunity the Socialist party has ever had," factional lines quickly formed today at the biennial organization convention. In the first minor test of strength the elements of the left formed a solid, front against the old line leaders whrf. head what is still known as the Hill- quist faction - that dominated for years headed by the late Morris Hill- quist, of New York. These leftists - including a goodly portion of the youth of the conven- tion - pushed through the election as presiding chairman of Devere Allen, editor of the World Tomorrow and a party leader from Connecticut. Allen had a total of 74 votes against 51 for Algernon Lee, long a Hiliquist associate and director of the Rand School, a Socialist institution in New York The 'old guard," however, was vic- torious on one strategic move. They; forced through a motion reducing from 50 to 25 the number of dele- gates necessary to demand a roll call. Chairman Krzycki, a vice-president and national organizer of the power- ful Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union, sounded the theme of needed solidarity in the party with the dec- laration: ,"The vindication of all Socialists rests in our hands, since our comrades across the sea have fallen. We have no choice but to forget our minor dif- ferences and press forward, to agitate, to organize, to carry our message to the workers and farmers, to fight their battles and to do everything in our power to establish the Socialist com- monwealth in America, the hope of the world. University Lectures Will Be Continued "Although funds have been greatly diminished in the last two years, the University lectures will be continued next year along the same general lines," according to Dr. Frank E. Rob- bins, assistant to President Ruthven. "The lectures were a success this year," Dr. Robbins said, "and we ex- pect to have a similar group of eight lectures next year. The lectures were all well attended and have enabled students and townspeople to come in closer contact with the University faculty as well as leading men from other schools." , New Combined Curriculum Is To Be Offered Combination Of Business, Engineering Courses Is Approved By Regents Because engineering has become closely allied with industry and bus- iness, and men with engineering knowledge are increasing in number as managers of industries, a combined curriculum in engineering and busi- ness administration will be offered to students, nccording to an announce- ment following the May meeting of the Board of Regents. A similar com- bination of engineering and forestry is planned. "With engineering in all its phases so largely dependent for success now- adays on commercial application and exploitation on a grand scale, the en- gineer who knows only the technical side of his profession finds himself at a disadvantage," President Alexander G. Ruthven said in commenting on the course chhiges. "Business likewise is in a somewhat similar situation, since many highly technical industries are best managed by persons with cultural and scientific knowledge as well as commercial acumen," he said. In the engineering-business course, students will enroll in the College of Engineering for three years and in the School of Business Administration for one, receiving the usual engineering degree. A fifth year in the latter school will carry the degree of "Master of Bustiness Administration." Advances in the scientific use of wood and wood by-products in many industrial fields led to the decision to offer the combined engineering-for- estry study program. Similar to the previously explained combination, students will study engineering for three years and forestry for one year, receiving an engineering degree. A fifth year in the School of Forestry and Conservation will entitle them to the further degree of "Master of For- estry in Wood Utilization." Widow Of President Burton Re-marries Word reached Ann Arbor yester- day to the effect that Mrs. Nina M. Burton, widow of Mario Leroy Bur- ton, president of the University from 1920 to 1925, was married recently to Dr. W. W. Kemp, dean of the School of Education in the University of California. Mrs. Kemp met President Burton when they were both students at Car- leton College. She was always espe- cially interested in Y.M.C.A. work. She was influential in founding the Fac- ulty Women's Club here. Brass Bands Turn Out As N. Y. Greets Fleet NEW YORK, June 1. --t(P)- New York City, "Navy-Conscious" after witnessing yesterday's unprecedented display of American sea power, turned out its brass bands, its dignitaries and platoons of New York's "finest," and extended the City's official welcome today to the United States Fleet, Mayor Fiorello H.

War Debt Stand Of President Is Applauded' Roosevelt Calls For The Collection Of War Debtsi In Message To Congress WASHINGTON, June 1. -'{)P)_- Congress tonight applauded a Roose-t velt declaration opposing any legisla- tion on war debts at this session andt reiterating American willingness to hear the pleas of debtor nations for4 revision of their payment schedules. In a special message, the President warned those nations, however, that the American people were "in a just position" to expect substantial sac- rifices on.their part and would surely be influenced by the use that Europe made of the funds at its disposal. Thus, without specific references, Mr. Roosevelt tied in the debt ques- tion with American efforts to end the armaments race which now threatens the world's peace --_efforts renewed within the week at Geneva by Ambassador Norman H. Davis. All Factions Pleased All factions of Congress found Mr.1 Roosevelt's views to their liking. All] commended the tone of the messagei and expressed the opinion that it re-+ flected the sentiment of the American+ people. Among the leaders who are wor king to bring about an early ad- journment, there was general belief that no new legislation was requested.l Mr. Roosevelt reviewed the entire; debt question, asserting emphatically the view that the people of the nation expected the debtor countries to make a determined effort, to meet the obli- gations arising from America's war loans to them. "The American people would not be disposed to place an impossible burden upon their debtors," the Pres- ident said, "but are nevertheless in a just position to ask that substantial sacrifices be made to meet these debts. Cautions Debtor Nations "We shall continue to expect the debtors on their part to show full understanding of the American atti- tude on this debt question. "People of the debtor nations will also bear in mind the fact that the American people are certain to be swayed by the use which debtor coun- tries make of their available resources --whether such resources would be applied for the purposes of \recovery as well as for reasonable payment of the debt owed to citizens of the United States, or for purposes of unproduc- tive nationalistic expenditure or like purposes." .Appear On Campus From 2 to 4 p.m. yesterday after- noon the mercury in the Observatory thermometer lolled around 99.8, which was plainly felt to be very warm. And when the records were opened, it was found that by virtue of its first day alone, June of 1934 was the hottest June in the extent of the records, which go back to 1910 in the table of high temperatures by months. So it was only natural that all Ann Arbor should seek relief in one great1 body of worshippers of Boreas and other chillier deities. But W. Weber McRoy,'34E, co-chairman of the Senior Ball, lives in Miami Beach, Florida, and knows how to take it when Old Sol frowns on the world.t He just puts on his shorts and ex-1 ercises. So he and Richard Swegles, '37E, Detroit, a young disciple of McRoy's, decided to warm up a few fancy dance steps along the diagonal, and after much tripping of the light fantastic about the campus in their abbreviated costume, much to the amusement of the heat-stricken onlookers, they re- paired totadrugstore on State Street7 to slake the thirst they had aroused. The sentiment has been expressed that the latter part of their anti-heat program was undoubtedly the most sensible. Summer Schol Again To Offer Health Courses Wide Variety Of Subjects Will Be Open To Public HygieneSpecialists Summer Session courses in public health will be open again this year to health administrators, inspectors, nurses, laboratory workers, and teach- ers, accotding to Dr. John, Sundwall, director of the division of hygiene and public health.

Other major awards went to Mor- ris Greenhut, Detroit, $1,000 for essay; F'ynette Fiske, Canandaigu, N.Y., $600 for fiction; Walter Morris, Glovers- ville, N. Y., $500 for essay; Edward E. Freed, Rockville, Ind., and Clifford H. Prator, Jr., Fort Valley, Ga., $350 each for drama. All five winners are grad- iate students. Six awards of $250 each were made in the minor division, open only to undergradutes. Special mention in Irama was received by Theodore K, Cohen, '35, Dorchester, Mass. In the fiction division, Jean Keller, '35, Hast- "ngs-on-Hudson, N.Y., and Reid H. Nation, '36, Indianapolis, were grant- ed prizes. Arthur Clifford, '35, Ann Arbor, was the winning contestant in he poetry field, while Dorothy Gies, 36, Ann Arbor, and John , Q'rIen, 35, Detroit, won the awards in the ssay. The announcement of awards was receded by Miss Gals addres i, "Writing As Design." The ppular. authoress pointed out the vast fields yet open for fiction and tie prodn- nent part which writing design plays n them. d She stressed the importance of an author to see beyond the mere inci- dent of the story "for that is not al- ways what makes°sfor fiction," she said. The real test, Miss ale asserted, is the awareness on therparthof the atuthor to see what underlies the inci- dent. Judges in the contests were an- nounced, at the same time as the awards, by Prof. Roy W. Cowden of the English department, chairman of the Committee on Hopwood Awards. Those who served, all prominent fig- ures, are Charles S. Brooks, Burns Mantle, and Paul Green, drama; John T. Frederick, Wilbur L.

University Gets Old Portrait Of EarlyTrustee A portrait of Pierre Jean Desnoy- ers, outstanding member of the Uni- versity of Michigan's first board of trustees (later the Board of Regents), from 1821 to 1837, was presented to the University recently by two of his descendants, Mrs. John Lawrence and Miss Julia M. Willcox, both of Ann Arbor. Minutes of the first meetngs of the trustees more than 100 yars a show that this redoubtable 'old Frenchman was the only member who attended every meeting. During his 16-year incumbency, he attended 62 meetings. The picture, now hanging in the Regents' Room in Angell Hall, is a photograph of an old daguerreotype, of the kind used early in the nine- teenth century. Peter John, as his name is translated into English, was born in Paris in 1792. He came to the United States in 1790, and moved to Detroit in 1791. He was prominent in civic af- fairs, as well as in matters affecting the then territory of Michigan. A silversmith by trade, he at one time was county commissioner. He was influential in foundingthe University, Leading Education Publications Edited By Michigan Professors Zona Gale Reveals Wholehearted Interest In Business Of Writing Some of the leading publications in the field of education are edited by professors of the School of Education, it was learned yesterday. A number of these periodicals are the organs of groups that control the progress of teaching in the United States. Dr. Calvin 0. Davis, professor of secondary education and secretary of the School of Education, is the man- aging editor of the "North Central Association Quarterly." This pub- lication is the official voice of the North Central Association, which has charge of accrediting high school, secondary schools, and colleges in 20 states. This body was organized in 1895 by The complete list of accredited schools and colleges is published in the "Quarterly," along with other business of the organization. Various studies conducted under the auspices of the N.C.A. are also printed. "The Nation's Schools," a monthly published under the directorship of Dr. Arthur P. Moehlman, professor of school administration and supervi- sion, has a circulation of over 10,000 copies. It is the national publication in administration, and is intended primarily for the school administra- tor. Also on the staff of this maga- zine are: Prof. Stuart A. Courtis and By JEWELL WUERFELIi Zona Gale, prominent AmericanI authoress, displayed her wholeheart- ed absorption in her work in an in- terview in answer to the question of what other interests she had outside of writing. "This question always amuses me," she said, "what would one do whose whole interest is in writing?" Ade- quate proof of this interest is in the two books she has had published this [ year. They are "Papa La Fleur" and "Old Fashioned Tales." Miss Gale delivered the third an- nual Hopwood Lecture yesterday, her in 1920. Of her prose works, Miss Gale believes that "Birth" written in 1918 is "least unsatisfactory." A dramatization of this novel was made in 1924. Arriving in Ann Arbor yesterday af- ternoon from a three weeks' visit in Riverside, Calif., Miss Gale is mak- ing her visit here a short one. She is leaving today for her home in Port- age, Wis., where she will "eat, sleep, and live" for the remainder of the summer. This American authoress speaks in a soft, low voice. She is of a slight build, a little over five feet in height.
