be solved and you could be of ines-
timable benefit to yourselves and tc
the University," he added.
"On he contrary," the President
pointed out, "if fraternities are to be
mere clubs, they cannot expect much
help for they will benefit their own
members only in a very restricted
sense and the rest of the campus not
at all."
Bursley Speaks
Dean of Students Joseph A. Burs-
ley, in a short talk, preliminary tc
his presentation of the Interfrater-
nity Scholarship cup to Trigon fra-
ternity, winners of the trophy for the
school year 1934-35, stressed the tre-
mendous potential power resting in
the fraternity group as a whole.
"You represent what can easily be
the most powerful body on this cam-
pus," Dean Bursley said, "and upon
you falls the responsibility for seeing
that this power is used for the best
interests of the University and not
for selfish purpose."
John A. Cawley, '36, chairman of
the banquet committee, was toast-
master, and Prof. David Mattern of
the music school led the group in a
number of Michigan songs.

Driver Gets 'he Bird But
Larceny Charge Goes With It
Retraction Of
Attack Asked
ByArmstrong,
Parole Board Head States
Criticism By Michigan
Judge Is Unfounded
LANSING, Nov. 25.- UP)-- A crit-
icism of the Michigan parole systm
by Judge George V. Weimer, of Kal-
amazoo county circuit court, roused
Parole Commissioner Joseph C. Arm-
strong today to offer a stinging reply
and suggest a retraction of the court's
remarks.
Armstrong accused Judge Weimer
of reading into the records of his court
criticism unfounded on facts when he
sentenced Edward Gordon Monnett,
'34, of Ecorse, a parole violator, to
serve 15 to 25 years in the State Prison
of Southern Michigan. The sentence
was passed Nov.'21.
"This is just one more of the very
many cases in which the parole au-
thorities most unwisely and unfor-
tunately substituted their judgment
for that of the prosecuting officers
and sentencing judges," Judge Wei-
mer said when he passed sentence on
the prisoner, who had been paroled
Feb. 27, 1935, after serving two years
and four months of a 712 to 10-year
sentence imposed by Judge Robert M.
Toms, of Wayne county circuit court.
Armstrong wrote Judge Weimer to-
day, objecting to the criticism flung
at his department and requesting the
court to correct its statements in the
case.
"I was exceedingly disappointed to
read your comments in the morning
paper, Nov. 22, after you imposed sen-
tence on Monnett. Fair criticism is
always welcome, but the parole de-
partment cannot call such misinfor-
mation, even from one wearing the
judicial ermine, in any sense a rea-
sonable statement," Armstrong wrote.
"You were misinformed on the
former case giving rise to your vitu-
peration, and hence hardly within
your province as a judge or critic."
Armstrong pointed out that when
Judge Toms sentenced Monnett, Oct.
31. 1932, on a robbery armed charge,
he asked that the parole officials no-
tify him when Monnett had served
c1%1 years of his sentence less good
time allowance.
Open Forum To Be

dents, both men and women, in which

cussion on any subject in which the

son Hall.
Prof. Richard Hollister of the
speech department will act as chair-
man. This is the second in a series of

Tuesday. Last week the discussion
centered around problems of peace
propaganda, the causes of war, and
the New Deal.

Mr. Hopkins belittled the talk of
raising sufficient funds for the care
of the destitute, declaring that in a
country of such great wealth as the
United States, only a "modest share"
of the national income each year
would be sufficient for the purpose.
Concerning the Michigan aspects
of the WPA, he said that 3,516 proj-
ects had been approved by Nov. 8,
of which 29 per cent were for high-
ways, roads and streets, 19 per cent
for construction of schools, hospitals
and markets, and 14 per cent for sew-
ers, water works, and similarly per-
manent construction.
Federal Group Will
Fight Auto Deaths
CHICAGO, Nov. 25.- (P) - An-
nouncement of a forthcoming na-
tional campaign to reduce the num-
ber of automobile accident deaths at
least 35 per cent by 1941 stimulat-
ed safety efforts in communities of
the United States today.
The drive will open Jan. 1, and will.
continue for five years the National
Safety council stated. Realization of
the goal would preserve at least 38,-
000 lives, it was estimated.
The council said it had a large or--}
ganization ready to join with publicS
officials, safety units, educators and
federal departments.r
The council's announcement came
but a few days after President Roose-
velt called a conference at Washing- a
ton within the next two weeks to
achieve greater safety on land and
sea and in the air.
The council said:
"It is planned to cooperate much
of the existing safety effort, to cen-
tralize and standardize the work
through application of methods
proved by successful experience.
"New ways of appealing to the in-
dividual motorist toearouse a sense of
responsibility will be sought.
"A definite state wide school pro-
gram will be recommended for each
state, together with the organization
of state safety councils and localized1
safety organizations in towns and
cities.'
"The adoption of uniform laws, in-
eluding standardudrivers' license leg-
islation, will be urged, together with
adequate administration of traffic
laws."

Sheriff Disapproves When
Autoist Collects Dead
Ducks After Accident
By F. CLAYTON HEPLER I
If he had abided by the old adage
that a bird in the hind is worth two
in the bush, Howard Williams, 351
Beakes St. would not be in the county
jail today. But fate and sheriff's offi-
cers conspired against him.
Williams was driving home early
yesterday morning after visiting h
sick girl friend in Chelsea, when
Thanksgiving provender in the form
of a block of ducks ran in front of
him on the Dexter road. He winged
three and fatally injured three more
as his car ploughed through the
feathery throng.
A few hundred feet down the road
the thought came to him that one
family could not possibly eat that
much duck at one sitting, and it would
be more appropriate if he should use
them as food for a holiday and cele-
bration banquet. ' Accordingly he
turned around, went back, picked up
the ducks, and proceeded on his way'
to Ann Arbor rejoicing. Rejoicing,
that is, until he caught sight of the
sheriff's men.
The sheriff's office only a short
time before had received a call report-
ing a green car parked on the side
of Dexter Road into which someone
was throwing bags. Investigation
proved that the car was out of gas
and "reputable" persons occupied it.
But Williams didn't know that. All
he could think of was the incriminat-
ing evidence ensconced on his back
seat. Wishing to rid himself of his
ill-gotten provisions, he turned down
the Scio Road, stopped his car, and
Three One-Act
Plays Selected
By illel Group
Three one-act plays to be presentedt
Oy the Hillel Players were selected at,
the last meeting of the group, ac-
:cording to Norman L. Sharfman, '3'7,
president. These plays will be givent
before the Christmas holidays.
The productions include "Sham"
by Tompkins, a satire on social ve-
neer, attectation and manners; "An-
other Way Out" by Lawrence Lang-
ner, which is a pure comedy dealing1
with love, Sharfman pointed out;r
and "The Finger of God" by Percival
Wile.f
Tryouts for participation in any of
these productions will be held today
from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Foun-I
dation. Parts in these productions1
are open to any one desiring to try
out and are not restricted to mem-
bers. Membership is gained only
through participation in the produc-
tions or on any committee, it was
explained.
The directors of the plays and
committeechairmen chosen by the
president are Ada Zolla, '37; Louise
Samek, '38; and Adele Polier, '38.
Committee chairmen include Ruth
Lipkint, '38; Stephen Stone, '38; Miss
Zolla, Miss Polier ,and Miss Samek.
started throwing the ducks into the
surrounding foliage. At this juncture,
the officers who had become suspi-
cious of the frantic driver, rounded
the corner in hot pursuit. Catching
the culprit red-handed, they soon
found the spot where the "killing"
was committed, the Harry Knicker-
bocker farm near the Chelsea Cement
plant. Concluding that Williams was
at least involved, the officers escorted
him to the goal and booked him on I
a charge of "fowl" larceny.
Williams was arraigned in justice
court yesterday and plead not guilty
to a larceny charge before Judge
Harry W. Reading. Bond, unfur-
nished, was set at $200 and the trial
is scheduled for 2 p.m., Dec. 4.

Judge George W. Sample yesterday
warned drunk drivers that he would
not in the future consider any peti-
tions for the restoration of drivers'
licenses to persons who had pleaded
guilty to that charge in the lower
ccurts but had asked leniency.
Under state law, persons who admit
driving while under the influence of
liquor are subject to revocation of
their operator's licenses for one year.
Judge Sample announced that the of-
fice of the attorney-general, which
has a voice in the restoration of li-
censes in such cases, was entirely in
favor with his stand.
Scoring the drunken driver as a
"potential murderer," the judge
aimed his criticism at the driver who
admitted guilt in that offense in the
lower court but asked to be excepted
fr om the revocation provision.
