Delegates Are Told
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-- (AP) - A pol
icy of complete co-operation with col.
lege administrators as a means o.
increasing the prestige of nationa
college fraternities was voted today
by delegates at the final session o:
the 26th Interfraternity Conference.
Delegates fromp 66 fraternities
united in declaring that only such a
policy would restore to the under-
graduate societies "prominent posi-
tions once held by them on Amer-
ican campuses."
Leroy E. Kimball, elected chair-
man of the conference for the ensuing
year, scored reports that colleges
have turned against fraternities.
"I know of no college president or
dean opposed "to theideal social fra-
ternity," he said.
"It will be-the aim of the new ad-
ministration to press forward with in-
telligent optimism and intelligent en-
terprise. We will get nowhere, though,
unless we work hand-in-hand with
the colleges," he said.
Contrary to the popular impres-
sion that the institution of the new
resident house plan at Yale had done
away with the widespread fraternity
system at New Haven, delegates were
told by Yale representatives that no
l appreciable :decrease in support of
the societies had been noticed.
Peter C. Hitt, Yale senior and mem-
ber of Beta Theta Pi, said there has
been a revival of fraternity interest
at his university. The effects of the
house unit plan at Yale, he said,
will be not to exclude the fraternity,
but to complement its activities.
Resolutions were adopted advocat-
ing frequent college and University
inspection of fraternity houses. to
avert unsafe and unsanitary condi-
tMons and recommendinga survey by
Members of the conference to deter-
mine whether college authorities
would co-operate in instituting resi-
dent adviserships, such as house
mothers, in chapter houses.

Final instructions for the method

At least nine petitions must be sub-

Will Deliver
Talk Tonight
Noted Radical Editor To
Speak On 'The Crisis
In Modern Literatpre'
Lecture Is Under
Auspices Of N.S.L.
Traditional Literature Is
To Be Compared With
Radical Writings
Michael Gold, noted radical editor,
critic,.and author, will speak on "The
Crisis in Modern Literature" at 8
p.m. today in Natural Science Audi-
torium. Tickets are priced at 25
cents and may be purchased at the
door.
Gold's lecture is sponsored by the
National Student League and is part
of a speaking tour of this section of
the country. He will address an au-
dience in Detroit Monday night.
According to advance reports, Gold
will divide his talk into two sections,
an analysis of traditional American
literature and a discussion of the ris-
ing tide of left-wing writers.
He will seek to establish his belief
that there has been a definite tend-
ency among American writers of the
past to evade the sphere of the real
problems of life and to invade the
field of romance, imagination, and
frivolity.
Most Writers Radical
On the other hand, Gold will at-
tempt to point out that most up-and-
coming writers are radicals, and that
they arenot afraid to face facts, since
they have firm economic groundings
in the nature of our modern prob-
lems.
Gold has a thorough background of
personal experience for his proletar-
ian, attitudes. He was working for
his living when only 12 years old, and
was supporting his family in their
tenement on New York City's east
side at the age of 19. Since this
time he has worked, according to his
own statement, "on about 36 jobs en-
tailing manual labor, and on about 12
newspapers as a reporter and copy-
reader."
He also has had an active exist-
ence as a labor organizer, having
"been chased by the cops in about 40
street demonstrations and helped in
about 20 strikes."
Eastman's Assistant
Gold's journalistic career carried
him to the position of assistant to
Max Eastman, then editor of the lib-
eral magazine "Masses." In 1926, he
and a few friends, desirous of creat-
ing a better medium for reflecting
the cultural aspects of the proletrian
movement, reorganized the magazine
under the name of "New Masses,"
with Gold as editor-in-chief.
During his leadership "New Masses"
took its place as one of the nation's
leading leftist periodicals. He retired
from his position in ,1932, taking a
place on the editorial board, which
he still holds.
Entire Crew Of 23
Taken From Ship
MUSKEGON, Dec. 1. - (') - The
23 members of the whaleback freigh-
ter Henry Cort's crew reached shore
safely this morning, 11 hours after
the ship struck the Muskegon break-
water Friday night in a 60-mile gale.
Making their way to the break-
water hand over hand, on a line shot
to the freighter by coast guardsmen,
the sailors fought their way over a

mile of the wave-washed breakwater
to shore.
All were exhausted and suffering
from exposure, some had to be as-
sisted to shore, apparently injured.

Dean James B. Edmonson of the
School of Education, who is to be the
third faculty lecturer on the Univer-

Called to Washington many times
in the last five years, and member
of scores of educational societies
which convene annually in distant
parts of the nation, Dean Edmonson
has been characterized as a Pullman

Three-Mile Tunnel System Of
University Is Now Completed

GRAND RAPIDS, Dec. 1.- () -
Michigan's basketball team emerged
victorious in a close battle with a
stubborn Calvin College quintet here
tonight, opening the 1934-35 season
of both teams. The. score was 25
to 22.
The Wolverines trailed with a score
of 17 to 8 at the half time, but staged
a whirlwind finish with Plummer
and Ford taking the lead in the scor-
ing efforts. It was not until the last
few minutes of play that Michigan
was able to clinch the results.

The last tunnel has been excavated,
the last unit in a three-mile net-
work of subterranean passageways has
been hollowed-out, and the catacombs
of the University of Michigan are now
complete.1
Instead of the leering skulls lining
the walls of their Roman predecessors,
the catacombs of the University have
asbestos-covered pipes, electric cables,
and iron braces. The moaning of de-
parted spirits has been supplanted by
the hissing of steam. The fear-haunt-

the needed amount of heat.
Curious students and residents have
watched the construction of the tun-
nel between the two buildings from its
inception to the final landscaping of
the ground, and the project has been
described by onlookers as everything
from. a sewer line to a water main.
In reality the tunnel contains low-
