A clarion call to the youth of Mich-
igan to take immediate action to solve
the problems facing it and the world
was sounded last night in Hill Audi-
torium at the opening session of the
Michigan Youth Congress, the first
state-wide meeting of youth in the
country.
Representing more than 100 or-
ganizations in the state and ranging
from Boy Scouts to young commun-
ists, 450 delegates who had poured
into Ann Arbor all yesterday after-
noon and night from cities, high
schools, and factories massed in the
auditoruim to hear and applaud the
harangues of national youth leaders
who had come here to address them.
Ages Between 18 and 22
The audience, made up mainly of
people between the ages of 18 and 25
interrupted the three speakers re-
peatedly with loud applause, and the
rest of the time listened with pro-
found silence to the message of hope
that was delivered from the rostrum.
The keynote of the meeting was
struck by Richard Babb Whitten of
Tulane University, national chairman
of the Student League for Industrial
Democracy. He said, in part, "today,
the youth of America have to face
the breakdown of the social struc-
ture, aid must beware of sops thrown
to them by demagogues like Huey
Long who are aping the tactics of
a Hitler or a Mussolini."
"No matter how black or brown the
shirts of their adherents may be,"
he declared, "they cover empty stom-
achs of foolish, silly young men who
will be used as cannon fodder to pro-
tect the systems they are victims of.
"I adjure and appeal to you to
watch with all your intelligence for
signs of Fascism, which may be dis-
guised in the words of men like The
Kingfish of Louisiana, and which like
the words of Hitler are held up to
ridicule in the first stages of Fascist
state, but which may later form the
doctrines of a reactionary minority
bent on protecting their own inter-
ests."
Minehan Speaks
"The old order is dead," Whitten
asserted, "and it is up to the youth to
develop a new pioneering spirit, and
to cooperate with intellectual and
manual workers and small business-
men in building a new and better so-
cial order."
The openin'g address of the Con-
gress was delivered by Thomas Mine-
han, professor of sociology at the
University of Minnesota and author
of "Boy and Girl Tramps of the Road."
Professor Minehan painted a vivid
picture of the conditions among the
vagrant youth population of the
United States, drawing upon his ex-
perience among these people for ex-
amples of his points.
"I was surprised," he declared, "to
discover that here in America, not in
ignorant Russia, not in bad Germany,
not in Africa, nor among the abori-
gines of Australia or Patagonia, but
right here in our own United States,
we have a whole army of youth, home-
less, shelterless, living 'on the bum.'"
No Help From Old Generation
"Youth can look to the elder gen-
eration for no help, no inspiration,
no leadership." The elder genera-
tion got themselves and youth into
the present mess. Youth must get
itself out of it."
Professor Minehan described the
hardships of fatigue, illness, injury,
hunger, and cold which boy and girl
tramps must face. "I believe, how-
ever, that the biggest injury they are
receiving, and f4om which other
American youths are not immune, is
an injury to their morale."
An introductory address was made
by Waldo McNitt, chairman of the
continuations committee of the Amer-
ican Youth Congress held in New
York last summer.

New University entrance require-
ments for eight schools and colleges
were approved yesterday by the Board
of Regents at their regular monthly
meeting.
These requirements will take effect
next semester. However, students will
have a choice of entering under the
new or the old rules until September,
1937, it was explained.
The new requirements were drawn
up by a committee of the literary
college, passed by the literary col-
lege faculty in November, and com-
mitted to the Regents for final ac-
tion.
The old requirements stipulate that
a student must have three years of
sigh school English, two years of a
foreign language, two years of mathe-
mnatics, one year of science, four years
from a selected list and three years
f elective courses.
Call For Proficiency
New rules call for proficiency over
tefinite periods of time in four out
f five possible fields, including Eng-
ish, foreign languages, mathematics-
Thysics, sciences, and social studies.
>ut of the 15 units required for ad-
nission there must be at least 2 major
sequences of at least 3 units each, 1
of which shall be in English; and 2
ninor. sequences of at least 2 units
,ach. The remaining 5 units included
n the principal's recommendation
nay be selected from any of the sub-
ects listed in the groups or from
my others for which credit is given

In addition, two other methods of
dmission are available to the student
vho cannot qualify for the certificate
>lan. He may request examination in
Lll the units required. In this case 15
units must be chosen from the 5
;roups listed above, and they must
neet the sequence requirement.
Another plan of admission, a com-
>ination of the first two, is that of
partial certificate-partial examina-
ion. It is available only to a grad-
iate of an accredited high school
,vhose principal is willing to recom-
nend him in part of the required 15
nits. The applicant may, at the dis-
3retion of the Registrar, be admitted
>n the basis of the principal's recom-
nendation covering the units satis-
actorily completed, plus examina-
Aions in the units in which he is de-
.icient.
It was pointed out in the report of
;he commitee that the present re-
iuirements for admittance into the
iterary college "were approved by the
3oard of Regents of the University of
.ichigan in 1912."
Few Modifications
"In the 22 years which have fol-
lowed, great changes have taken
Mace in the character of the student
>ody in high school and college, with
gut slight modifications in the en-
rance requirements. Moreover, a con-
iderable increase in the number of
subjects taught in these institutions
aas made it imperative to modernize
he requirements for college en-
:rance," the report continues.
Under the new rules a choice is al-
owed in the subjects presented per-
nitting a greater degree of flexibility
han was possible when the subjects
vere prescribed. This increase, ac-
lording tothereport, "will permit
she high school to carry the able
pupil farther in the subjects in which
ae shows the greatest interest and
ability.
"It is the expectation that, in con-
sequence, these students will receive
a more thorough preparation for col-
lege and university work," the report
states.
"While retaining the requirement of
15 units and the same high scholastic
standard for admission, the College
of Literature, Science, and the Arts
has endeavored, in the proposed re-
quirements for entrance, to transfer
the major emphasis from prescribed
