THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Saturday Class
Issue Awaits
Further Action
Will Work Out Programs
For Redistribution Of
Large Sections
Administrative action of the lit-
erary college on the question of com-
pulsory Saturday classes and their
effects was at a standstill today, as
the committee which drew up the
plan recently adopted by the Execu-
tive Committee continued on a proj-
ect for the redistribution of the larger
sections now causing peak loads for
the faculty and congestion of class-
room space at certain hours during
the week.
Prof. Daniel L. Rich, director of
classification, said that while the pro-
gram for the smaller sections would
be worked out by the individual de-
partments concerned, the committee
was evolving a schedule for the class-
es of more than 100 students which
they hoped to present to the faculty
of the Literary College for approval
soon.,
Dr. Lloyd S. Woodburne, assistant
to Dean Edward H. Kraus of the Lit-
erary College, said that there was no
action to be taken in that office for
some time to come.
Asked what the effect of the meas-
ure would be on the women's hours
for Friday nights, Dean of Women ,
Alice C. Lloyd said that she had not
as yet considered the matter, and that
in all probability no action would be
taken until next fall.
"In any case, consideration of the
question of women's hours would fol-

she explained. "The women's hours
would of course have to match the
hours for the dances."
Local Schools
Will Graduate
328In June
Local Men Are Chosen To
Deliver Commencement
Addresses'
Speakers were announced yesterday
for, the June commencement exer-
cises of Ann Arbor, University and
St. Thomas high schools which to-
gether will graduate a total of 328
seniors.
Ann Arbor high school will grad-
uate 250, University High 51, and St.
Thomas, .27. The exercises of the
Ann Arbor high school and Univer-
sity High will be held at 10 a.m. Fri-
day, June 14. The University school
will hold its, ceremony at the build-
ing in which it is housed, the Ann
Arbor school in Hill Auditorium. The
graduation exercises of St. Thomasi
Catholic high school will be held Sun-
day, June 16, in the church.
Local men have been selected by
all three schools to deliver the com-
mencement addresses to the graduat-
ing classes. Dean Clare E. Griffin
of the School of Business Administra-
tion and director of the bureau of
business research will speak before
the Ann Arbor high school class. Prof.
Howard T. McClusky of the School of
Education is scheduled to address
the University high school graduat-
ing group, and the Rev. Allen T. Bab-
bock, assistant pastor of the St.
Thomas Catholic Church, will deliver
the address at the graduation exer-
cises of the St. Thomas school.
Graduate Work Is
Termed Necessary
Expressing a belief that- graduate
work was fast becoming a requisite
for success, Dean Clarence S. Yoak-
um of the Graduate School discussed
post-graduate work with interested
students of the literary college yes-
terday in Angell Hall.
He pointed to statistics he had
made to illustrate the advantages
accruing from graduate work. Of 35
students who had pursued graduate
work from one to two years after ob-
taining their Ph.D. and M.A. degrees,
none had lost their jobs throughout
the depression and, as far as he knew,
none. had suffered- reductions in sal-
ary, he said.
He stated that many graduate stu-
dents were found in administrative
positions in the government, and that
this would be even more prevalent
in the future.
All students who paid the required
membership fee, which now has a
value of two dollars, will receive a re-
fund, according to members of the
board.
Seniors Carried Early Models Of Canes In Old Days

This Sunday Will
Mark Revival Of
A Royal Tradition
When the last vestiges of this deca-
dent civilization are nothing but coal
dust, nothing will puzzle scientists of
the next one so much as the fossilized
remains of some of our collegiate in-
stitutions.
The cane, for instance. A smooth,
sophisticated stick, as far removed
from the bludgeons of the picket fence
days as a streamlined train from the
stage coach, will feature the senior
promenade this Sunday.
Early models may be seen in the
upper picture, an enlargement from
a tintype, which shows a group of fra-
ternity boys of the 1880's posing with
their senior canes. Long, straight,
about two and one-half inches thick,
they lacked the crook on the end that
makes for natty swinging. Notice
also the hatwear. White plug hats
struggled with derbys and miscella-
neous gear for springtime popularity.
Well-known is the story of the up-
rooted picket fence. Canes, they say,
are symbolic of the time that the old
fence was uprooted to make room for
the expansion of a growing univer-
sity. The picture on the right shows
the campus at about the same time,
with the fence in the foreground.
