"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 Held Wednesday An informal forum open to all stu- dents, both men and women, in which free opportunity will be given for dis- cussion on any subject in which the students are interested, will be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Room 302 Ma- son Hall. Prof. Richard Hollister of the speech department will act as chair- man. This is the second in a series of such forums which will be held each 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."

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. Sa le States 1% rivers' Tags 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. anel Discussion Draws 65 Sunday Approximately 65 persons attended the second International Panel held at 4 p.m. Sunday in the Union.
