Former-governor Wilber M. Bruck-
er will address the initiation banquet
of Alpha Nu, honorary speech frat-
ernity, at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the
Union, it was announced last night.
Nearly 30 persons are expected to
hear the Michigan statesman. The
national president of Kappa Phi Sig-
ma, of which Alpha Nu is a member,
Lyle Eiserman, '28, may attend the
banquet, officials said.
Just 20 years ago when Governor
Brucker was still in the University,
he spoke at an Alpha Nu banquet on
the topic, "Something Or Other."
When Toastmaster Arthur Marlowe,
'36, introduces him, he will give him
that subject to speak on again.
William Groening, '36L, will give
the toast to the pledges, and the re-
sponse will be made by Ralph Dan-
hos, '36., The initiation proper will
take place at 4 p.m. Wednesday after-
noon, Carl Nelson, '37, president,
stated. All Alpha Nu alumni on the
campus are invited to the banquet,
he said.
A Michigan graduate in the class
of '16L, and an. Alpha Nu alumnus,
Governor Brucker has had a brilliant
career in Michigan politics. An al-
most unknown lawyer, he was ap-
pointed assistant prosecuting attorney
of Saginaw county. He was reelected
and was then named as assistant at-
torney-general. When Attorney-
General William Potter was made a
supreme court justice by Governor
Fred W. Green, in February, 1929,
Brucker was named to replace him.
After serving two terms in that office,
he was elected governor in 1930. He
was defeated in the Repulican land-
slide of 1932.
Northwestern
Names Waldorf
As New Coach
Former Kansas State Man
Chosen For Post Vacated
By Dick Hanley
EVANSTON, Ill., Jan. 12. - () -
Northwestern's search for a new head
football coach ended today with the
selection of Lynn O. Waldorf of Kan-
sas StateCollege.
Waldorf's selection was announced
tonight by Kenneth L. Wilson, North-
western's athletic director, after a
day of rapid fire action on the task*
of naming a successor to Richard E.
"Dick" Hanley, who resigned several
weeks ago.
At the same time, Wilson said that
Burt Ingwerson, former University of
Iowa head coach and until recently
an assistant at Louisiana State Uni-
versity, would become Waldorf's first
assistant.
The new Northwestern coach was a
star tackle of Syracuse University's
powerful 122, '23, and '24 teams.
coached by John F. "Chick" Meehan.
He was named twice on the late
Walter Camp's second All-American
teams.
He is the son of Bishop Ernest Lynn
Waldorf, of the Chicago Methodist
Episcopal area, who also is a member
of the Northwestern University Board
of Trustees.

Wolverines Come From
Behind With Berryman
Scoring Both Goals
By KENNETH PARKER
Dick Berryman, sophomore right
wing, who went thirsting for goals in
Friday's high scoring hockey game
with Wisconsin, presented the Mich-
igan cause with two much-needed
counters last night at the Coliseum
to pull the Wolverines from behind
into a 2 to 1 victory and a clean sweep
of the two-game series with the Badg-
ers.
Berryman's scores came in the sec-
ond and third periods after Wiscon-
sin had slipped in a goal in the first
stanza.
Wisconsin On Defense
The Wisconsin sextet, seeming to'
concede the game to Michigan from
the outset, played a defensive game
throughout, but showed at times more
competitive fire than was exhibited
in Friday's contest.
Johnny Sherf, unable to break
through a five-man defensive wall,
was also boxed up handily by Fallon,
Badger right wing, and failed to getf
a score for the first time in any game
this season.
Midway in the first period, Fallon
managed to slip through the Michigan
defensive, while Vic Heyliger was
sprawled out as a result of a stunning
body check, to score from close in.
Johnny Jewell, who had another
peaceful evening with only 10 saves
did a leg split, but the puck slid under1
him before he could get down.
Heyer Has 39 Saves
Trying to preserve a one-goal lead,
Wisconsin played a strictly defensive
style of game for the remainder of
the period. Heyer,tBadgergoalie
was in good form, turning back 15
shots in this period. He had 39 saves
for the entire game.
The second period found Michigan
carrying the contest into Badger ter-
ritory continually, with Vic Heyliger
the spearhead of the Wolverine at-1
tack. After nearly five minutes were
gone, Heyliger's shot from just in-
side the red line bounded off Chuck
Heyer's pads to Berryman who batted
the loose puck into the net, tying the
score.
The" final score of the game was
made in the final period, when Walt
Courtis got hold of the puck in a

Future Today
Issue Of World War To
Be Settled 15 Years And,
3 Days After Treatyi
SAARBRUECKEN, Jan. 12 -(R')-
A ding-dong rough and tough tumble
campaign in which Adolf Hitler and
his Nazi regime were in the main is-
sue, at an end, the Saar today will
choose its future national allegiance.
The plebiscite, the last of 12 is-
suing from the World War, will be
held exactly 15 years and three days
after the Treatyof Versailles went
into effect.
Experts call it by far the most im-
portant consultation of public opin-
ion resulting from the late Woodrow
Wilson's famous doctrine that all
people have the right to decide as to
the rule under which they wish to
live.
Through Wilson, it was recalled,
the United States is responsible for
giving the 790,000 residents of this
rich industrial region their opportun-
ity to choose among continuance of
League of Nations government, re-
union with Germany or union with
France.
Of those three issues, the Saar's
543,323 qualified voters - qualified
because they lived in the Saar the
day the Versailles Treaty was signed
- today will express their prompt,
composite opinion, while every de-
tachment of international and Saar
police and gendarmes stand guard,
and the 3,500 troops of the League's
first national army watch.
Wilfred Shaw Leaves
For Executives' Meeting
Wilfred B. Shaw, director of alumni
relations, left today for a meeting of
college, university and alumni execu-
tives to be held Jan. 14 at Vassar
College. He is expected to return to
Ann Arbor Thursday.
The meeting was called by the
American Association of Adult Edu-
cation to consider a report on Adult
Education prepared by Ralph A. Beals
of New York. The report is a con-
tinuation and supplement to a report
on an investigation in the same field
"Holding companies that own and
operate no properties are not classed
as public utilities and, therefore, are
not subject to regulation restricting
competition among operating com-
panies."'the report continues.
The Commission says that the field
is virtually "wide open" for holding
companies to gain control of operat-
ing companies and thus remove them
from regulation within the state or
community.

Paris, Jan. 12. -(P) - Twelve hun-
dred Communist hunger marchers
converging upon Paris with cries for
overcoats and an increased dole were
defeated in a clash with police today
in a snowstorm.
The Communists were dispersed by
a wall of steel-helmeted guards near
the city gates. A column of demon-
strators from the west broke ranks
and trickled into the city in groups to
attend three mass meetings this after-
noon.
Police barred the way of smaller
columns from other directions. The
demonstrators engaged in a general
scuffle with the gendarmes, but found
themselves no match for their well-
fed opponents.
The Communists said they would
make another attempt to enter the
city later today after they had been,
reinforced by additional marchers.

The marchers began to converge
upon the city yesterday. They experi-

Worse Than Atlantic Trip,
She Says; May Fly On To
Chicago
OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 12 --(')-
Amelia Earhart Putnam, ocean-con-
quering aviatrix, flashed into Oakland
today to complete the first solo flight
ever made between Hawaii and Cali-
fornia - and hastily combed her
tousled blonde hair before turning
to face a madly cheering crowd.
"I'm tired," said the famous holder
f many aviation records as she pop-
ped her head out of the cockpit, saw
the crowd and reached for her comb.
The wheels of her swift, red mono-
plane touched dry land at 1:31 p.m.
(4:31 p.m. E.S.T.) just 18 hours and
16 minutes after her exciting take-off
from Wheeler Field, 25 miles out of
Honolulu. Two hours after landing
she went to bed, without benefit of
negligee, in an Oakland hotel.
Is First Time
Not satisfied with two aerial trips
across the Atlantic, and a host of
other aviation honors, the 36-year-
old' flier challenged the Pacific as
has no other man or woman. She
came through after fighting a variety
of weather and giving California
watchers an uneasy three hours dur-
ing which her position was not
known.
"It was worse than the Atlantic
flights," she said. "There was no
purpose or reason for it."
Asked about reports that she was
considering continuing on to Chica-
go or Washington, immediately she
smiled mysteriously and said:
"Well, I'll have to check the weath-
er before hopping, but I won't be go-
ing for three or four hours."
But Miss Earhart appeared pretty
tired and the circumstances discount-
ed the idea. Airport attendants said
she had left instructions not to re-
fuel her plane. Weather conditions
to the east were reported unfavor-
able.
"I had enough fuel in my tanks to
have lasted another two hours," Miss
Earhart went on, in contrast with
the statement of Lieut. Commander
Clarence Williams indicating her sup-
ply was due to be exhausted about
the time she landed.
Surprises Crowd
For three hours California coastal
cities had been awaiting her and
when she swooped down on the air-
port she took the crowd of 5,000 by
surprise.
A mighty cheer arose. The crowd
surged toward the plane and stopped
little short of its whirling propeller
blades.
"I don't want to sit down," she said
firmly when an attendant saw her
fatigue and offered her a chair.
Attendants pushed her plane into
a hangar and closed the doors against
the admiring crowd, but only after
many had succeeded in grasping her
hand and shouting words of praise
of her.
Someone mentioned that she had
not been heard from for a consider-
able time before landing; that there
were reports she was battling fog,
had strayed from her course; that
her gasoline was running low before
she reached the coast. They asked
if she had been worried.
"Worried?" she echoed. "Oh, I
thought I would like to have the sight
of land a couple of times."

ters of vital importance both to the

Survey Reveals Percentage Of
Teacher Graduates Employed
By MARSHALL D. SHULMAN
More than two-thirds of the stu-
dents graduating from the University
with teacher's certificates in the past
two years have experienced periods of
employment. Of those who have found
employment, an average of only one
third have actually found work teach-
ing.
These were among the conclusions
drawn from a survey of recent teach-
er-certificated graduates of the Uni-
versity by Prof. George E. Myers of
the school of education. Approxi-
mately 1,000 students were included,
covering graduates from 1929, '30, '31,
'32, and '33.
Other figures revealed that about
one fifth of the graduates of the past
two years have found no work at all,
vvi- mna~nd n mman namnrenre-..
The most common means by far of
obtaining a position was reported as
personal application, with friends or
relatives second, and the Bureau of
Appointments third. More than 80
per cent of the 1933 class and about
45 per cent of the class of 1929 -were
registered with this Bureau when the
study was made.
"The recreational life of many indi-
viduals who reported is badly unbal-
anced," said Professor Myers. "One
young woman reported 40 hours per
week devoted to bridge, movies and
dancing.
