Prof. Edward B. Reuter, head of the sociology department, demanded that Alonzo P. Jones, assistant dean of men, "clear him of suspicion of being a party to the sadistic practices that have for years made 'Hell Week' a gross outrage to public decency." In an open letter to The Daily Iowan,. student newspaper, Professor Reuter stated that, "The regulations governing fraternity probation on initiation have been generally and continuously flouted. "That the practices are brutal as well as asinine is attested by the fact that a number of freshmen are now in hospitals or being treated by physicians for injuries attributed di- rectly or indirectly to the tortures to which they have been subjected." Forsythe Asks Discretion A plea for fraternities to employ discretionary methods in conducting "Hell Week" this year was made yes- terday by Dr Warren E. Forsythe director of the Health Service. The period during which fraternity pledges have been put to the "supreme test" in past years has resulted in several cases of possible pneumonia, colds, bruises, and other injuries, -nesEsietrg- a . treatment at the Health Service, Dr. Forsythe said. "There isalittle doubt that loss of sleep, such as is common during 'Hell Week,' results in lowered resistance,' he explained, "and exposures during trips, and other stunts common to the. period, are the causes of colds, which in some cases have threatened to de- velop into pneumonia." Cites Treatment1 Only one instance of a pledge re- quiring treatment by a mental hy- gienist was 'recalled by Dr. Forsythe. He cited a case in which loss of sleep, strain, and humiliation undergone by the pledge resulted in temporary mental maladjustment. He added that the student responded to treatment, however, and did not seem to suffer and permanent ill effects. The director admitted that in some instances there probably were suffi- cient grounds for the disciplinary' steps taken during "Hell Week" but added that discretion should be prac- tised and unnecessary stunts cut out of the houses' "Hell Week" programs from a standpoint of safeguarding health. "Keeping a boy standing on a cor- ner in an exposed position, sending him to Ypsilanti to count the tele- graph poles along the road during cold, damp weather,and other similar actions, will undoubtedly affect the health of the pledge," Dr. Forsythe contended. Interfraternity Council To Act On Freshmen The Executive Committee of the Interfraternity Council will meet at 5 p.m. Thursday in Room 306 of the Union to consider petitions for initia- tion and pledging of fraternities by ineligible men, Philip A Singleton, '35E, president, stated. Petitions presented to the commit- tee at their meeting last Thursday will be reconsidered at this meeting, according to Singleton, because the meeting last week was not attended by a representative number of the committee members. At the first meeting four petitions were refused and one passed. Men wishing to petition must hand them in before 5 p.m. Thursday. The Council offices in Room 306 will be open between 3 and 5 p.m. every day. i ---- - - Lead Changes Five' In First Period; In 15-15 Tie Timesl EndsI asociated Press Phot ; Andrew W.

CARSTENS University of Iowa's basketball team broke a seven-game losing streak here last night at the expense of the Michigan quintet, winning 37 to 25 on a second-half scoring spree. The two teams fought through the* first period on even terms, the lead changing hands five times before the period ended in a 15-15 tie. The Hawkeyes found the basket early in the second half and ran up a 31 to 22 score in the first ten minutes of that period, then adopted a stalling game that allowed them to coast to an easy victory. Coach Franklin Cappon, apparently fearing a defensive weakness, started three guards, using Dick Evans at forward, and George Rudness and Matt Patanelli at the guards. Johnny Barko, high-scoring Hawk forward, led both teams with 10 points, while Chelse Tamagno, John Gee and Rud- ness collected 6 points apiece for Michigan. Iowa Offense Clicked Barko's one-handed push shots from the foul line demoralized the Michigan defense at the end of the first half, and the Wolverines started playing "race-horse" in the second period when it was evident that the Iowa offense was clicking. John Gee's inconsistent work in the pivot position and his insistence on taking impossible shots ruined Mich- igan's attempted fast-breaking of- fense in the second period and the Wolverines resorted to long shots in futile attempts to score. Rudness opened the scoring with a' follow-up shot in the first minute, and Gee connected on a reverse shot be- fore the Hawkeyes could connect from the field on Grim's long tom, although Ivan Blackmer had cashed-in on a free throw. Johnny Grim's bucket gave Iowa a momentary lead, but Rudness got it back for Michigan with a field goal and a free throw. Grim's second goal from the floor tied the score at the end of ten minutes, at 7-7. Michigan Leads Michigan jumped to a five-point lead on Gee's basket and a bucket and free throw by Evans, but two bas- kets by Barko and one by Blackmer gave the visitors a one-point lead. Tamagno replaced Meyers, and Barko got his third consecutive field goal. With a minute left in the half Rud- ness connected on a free throw and Gee scored on a looping, one-handed shot to tie the score at 15-all. Blackmer scored first in the second (Continued 'on Page -3) C oiler To Give Next Speech In Lecture Series The University Lecture scheduled for the coming week will be given Thursday on "The Progress of Sur- geryin Recent Years," bysDr. Fred- erick A. Coller, director of the surgery department in the School of Medicine, it was announced by Dr. Frank E. Robbins, assistant to the President. Dr. Coller's lecture will be the fifth of a group of eight lectures on this year's University Lecture Series to be given by members of the local faculty. Graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1912, Dr. Coller was resident surgeon thereafter at the Massachu- setts General Hospital until he went overseas, where he rose to be major in the U. S. Medical Corps. Since 1920 he has been on the faculty of the School of Medicine here, and since 1924 he has held the rank of lieut.- colonel in the Medical Reserve Corps Social Drama Will Be Given By Hillel Players "Unfinished Picture," a three ac social drama written by Theodore Kane Cohen, '35, has been chosen for Many Injured After Heavy Snowstorm Traffic Halted By Great Drifts; Passenger Train Held Up Four Hours With the mercury dropping nearly 30 degrees between noon yesterday and late last night, a temperature as low as 10 degrees above zero was pre-: dicted yesterday. More snow was also expected as the University observatory barometer fell rapidly last night, nearing 28 at 9 p.m. The northwest wind, cold and' blustry, picked up rapidly as night fell yesterday, reaching a speed of 16 miles per hour shortly before 8 p.m. At noon yesterday, the University observatory recorded a temperature of 43.8 degrees. At 2 p.m., it had fallen to nearly 30 degrees. By 4 p.m. it was down to 25.5. And at 7:30 p.m. it reached 17.8, with the prediction that it would go at least as low as 10 de- grees. Roads Flooded Roads that were flooded with melt- ing snow were made dangerously icy once more, and warnings were issued to motorists by city and county high- way departments. The Ann Arbor street commission prepared last night to send out a crew of men to sand es- pecially icy streets, while the Wash- tenaw county r o a d commission worked to keep out-county highways open. Ann Arbor escaped the unusually severe snowstorm that hit the central and northern parts of Michigan. In view of the fact that State Highway Commissioner Murray D. Van Wag- goner termed it the "worst storm of the winter for Eastern Michigan," local highway officials said the city was fortunate to have been missed by the snow. The Michigan blizzardi was part of a storm that hit the entire: northwest part of the United States. No accidents caused by icy roads had been reported in Ann Arbor. (By Associated Press) Michigan counted the cost of the season's heaviest snowstorm Monday in two deaths, numerous minor ac-' cidents and hundreds of highways still blocked by three and four-foot drifts "Snow and colder" was the redic- tion for Tuesday, with lowest emp- eratures in the Detroit area at 10 above zero. Tuesday, the weather bu- reau forecast, it will continue colder with the possibility of more snow. Two Die In Storm At Muskegon, Nicholas Devries, 50, and Peter T. Smith, 45, died of over- exertion. Devries met death while wading through the drifts in a foun- dry, while Smith died while shoveling snow in a coal yard. The storm, which flashed across the central section Sunday night, was something of a "freak." Detroit ex- perienced rain, while at Sault Ste.- Marie the snowfall was light and the temperature held at about three above. But scattered parts of the lower peninsula felt the full force of winter's onslaught. The state highway department said the storm was the worst of the year and reported 18 inches of snow in Gratiot County, 14 in Saginaw, 12 in Alcona and about a foot of snow in Cheboygan, Alpena, Iosco and Ros- common Counties. BULLETIN .Jhn. D. Morton of Detroit was killed last night when his car struck, in a head-en collision, an automobile driven by Mrs. E. G. Hamer, wife of Ellsworth G. Ha- mer, manager of the Wuerth The- ater here, on the Ford Road, just over the Wahtenaw boundary in Wayne County. Mrs. Hamer, who was severely injured, was rushed to St. Jo- seph's Hospital here. She sus- tained a compound fracture of the jaw, a broken shoulder blade, and severe cuts and bruises. No internal injuries were evident, doctors said. Mrs. Hamer was headed for Ann Arbor on the Ford Road. Morton was going toward Detroit. About a mile from the Wash- tena w-Wayne boundary line, he attempted to pass a large truck, As his car swerved around the truck, he struck Mrs. Hamer's automobile in a head-on crash. Both cars were damaged beyond repair. Union Tryouts Are Asked To Report Today Superintendent Of Museums Rudely Interrupts Lovers Love is a grand thing -- but not in the University Museums. - Two pair of lovers, who were going at it quite seriously, received the full vent of the wrath of Morley P. Wil- liams, superintendent of the Museums building, yesterday, and were cruelly escorted to the door by him-they' were, to put it crudely, kicked out, and right in the cold wind too. Then Mr. Williams decried those who carry their love-making into the sacred halls of science. "They're a nuisance," he declared, "and they're sickening, too." Mr. Williams told how he found afflicted ones anywhere from the front hall to the most secluded spot on the third floor. "Sometimes they don't even try to hide their necking," he said in a disgusted tone. One couple he had to drive from the Museums yesterday was star-gaz- ing on the steps in the lower hall, right in front of the door. "Something should be done about it," he asserted. "It's disgusting." - And meanwhile the poor creatures who had been so severely afflicted by Cupid's darts stood across the street and gazed pensively at the tall, for- bidding Museums building in which their efforts had been so rudely ter- minated and from which they had been so harshly ejected. Effect Change In Division Of Social Science Curricula Of Departments To Be Harmonized By New Set-Up Eligible Freshmen Sophomores Will Committee Posts And Seek A call to all freshmen interested in trying out for the student organiza- tion of the Union to report at 4:45 p.m. today in Room 302 on the third floor of-the Union building was issued last night by Douglas R. Welch, '35, rec- ording secretary. Second semester freshmen and first semester sophomores, who have met the scholastic requirements set up by the University, will be allowed to try out. A freshman must not have grades below "C" and at least one mark of "B" or better. The tryouts will be addressed by Allen D. McCombs, '35, president of, the student organization, and Welch. The speakers will explain briefly the work of the Union and tryouts. All freshmen who report for tryouts will be assigned to one of the five committees for work as subcommit- teemen. Next fall they will be pro- moted to regular positions on these committees. If at the end of his sophomore year, a committee member's work has been satisfactory, he is appointed to the executive council of 15 juniors. This group includes the chairmen of the five aomiriritees the cooper, tive, reception, publicity, house, and dance groups. From the membership of the execu- tive council, the Union board of di- rectors selects a president and re- cording secretary to serve as the sen- ior officers of the student organiza- tion. The president appoints the mem- bers of the executive council and the sophomore members of the five com- mittees. The projects which the Union an- nually sponsors include an open house, student-faculty tournaments and "bull sessions," the Union Month- ly Review and the Union Opera. Formal revision of the Division of P Social Science to set up on organi- zation within the University that will v act as coordinator of research and a curricular work in the different de- v partments will be completed this t week, according to Prof. Preston E. n James of the geography department, secretary of the original division, who announced the proposed change yes- f terday.I The division, composed of 10 de- partments and schools, was created by action of the Board of Regents late last year for the purpose of organizing a group that would function in the capacity of an agent, combining re- search activity of the respective mem- ber units. It was from this body that y the research committee received offi- cial sanction. Research Included1 The revised division will include the research problem as only one in s a list of functions, which may include, i although plans have not yet been l completed, coordination of the cur- ricula of different departments, and t general advisory and administrative work in concentration programs. Provisions for revising the body were adopted by a meeting of the{ division last week. A resolution being passed to elect a general committee,I with representatives from the 10 units empowered to appoint a research+ committee "and such other commit- tees as may be desirable." The departments and schools which will have representatives on the gen- eral committee are the anthropology department, business administration school, economics department, geog- raphy department, history depart- ment, Law School, philosophy de- partment, political science depart- ment, psychology department, and so- ciology department. To Hold Election Elections for the committee will take place before March 1, and the first meeting will be called by the chairman of the present committee on research, Prof. Charles F. Remer of the economics department, soon after, Professor James announced. Members of the former committee and the units they represented are Dr. Carl E. Guthe, anthropology; Prof. Olin W. Blackett, business adminis- tration; Prof. Charles Remer, eco- nomics; Prof. Preston E. James, geog- raphy; Prof. Lewis G. VanderVelde, history; Prof. John P. Dawson, law; Vould Be Second Trip To California For Michigan During Season Yost, Members Of Board Favor Meet tanford, Trojan Squads Would Meet Conference Teams At Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 - () - 'lans were under way here tonight o match the University of Southern alifornia and Stanford University rack teams against the University of lichigan and Ohio State University a Los Angeles next June.

By WILLIAM REED Fielding H. Yost, Michigan direc- r of athletics, said last night that he meethad been definitely proposed ohim by St. John and Hunter, and hatonly confirmation of detailed ar- angements from California was nec- ssary before the proposition would >e submitted by him to the Board In ontrol of Physcial Education, which nust pass on it. Yost, who expressed himself as per- onally in favor of the meet in the vent satisfactory arrangements are nade, said he had talked informally ith several members of the board, ho nad also approved of the general roposition. Negotiations have yet to be made ith Stanford, according to Yost, nd the University of California, which is holding the N.C.A.A. meet 'he week-end following the proposed meet, must also be consulted. Plans Made In West The possibility of the meet was irst definitely considered by St. John, Hunter, and Yost at the National wootball Rules Committee meeting ield recently and Hunter and St. ohns returned to California to con- lude negotiations. The proposed California trip, if made, would be the second of the ear for the Michigan squad, a meet having been scheduled with the Uni- versity of California for April 13 at Berkeley. Representatives of the Michigan quad also have planned to compete n the N.C.A.A. meet, which 'will be held in the latter part of June, and which would come a week following he proposed meet. It was this fact, Yost said, which lent favor to the combined teams dual meet. A squad of 25 or 30 men would prob- ably represent the two Mid-West schools, Yost said, according to the present arrangements, with each school sending approximately half of the team. Conference Meet March 9 Michigan, Big Ten indoor champ- ions, and Ohio State, favored to give the Wolverines their greatest test for retention of the team title at the Con- erence meet to be held March 9 at Chicago, will meet here Saturday night in what observers have pre- dicted to be the outstanding event of the indoor season. The two teams include some of the outstanding track and field stars of the country, it was pointed out, and a close meet with the Coast teams, perennially strong in all departments, was foreseen, Union Opera Book Will Be Discussed Prospective authors for the book and music of the twenty-seventh Union Opera will have an opportunity Thursday to meet with an advisory committee composed of faculty mem- bers who have had experience with Parent Of Typical Michigan Student Is Retail Merchant The parent of the typical Univer- sity of Michigan student is a "retail dealer or merchant," if a study of the registration cards of 8,806 under- graduates enrolled here is any indica-' tion.
