of the Interfraternity Council, as-

with the announcement that five
houses had been called before the

more will be investigated today.

Red Pajamas Cools
'Uncle Joe' Bursley
"Uncle Joe" (Dean Joseph A.) Bur-
sley undoubtedly slept contentedly
last night in the flaming red pajamas
,iven him by Delta Tau Delta fra-
',trnity at a dinner in his honor yes-
.erday.
It was not, strictly speaking, a gift,
.or the fraternity owed him a pair
of pajamas from several weeks back.
Three bottles of beer, a live duck,
.nd "Uncle Joe's" pajamas were the
objects sought in the fraternity's
:cavenger party.
The pajamas were just as easy to
get as the beer, and easier to get than
the duck. Their possession merely
entailed asking "Uncle Joe."
Being an honest man who lends
kindly but expects payment, "Uncle
Joe" requested the return of his pa-
jamas from the fraternity. They were
lost, however, and so last night Delta
Tau Delta smoothed things over with
the Office of the Dean of Students
when they presented the red pa-
j amas.

High Authority
Doubts Peace Hope
Litvinoff Assails Hitler's
Proposals Of Peace As
'Smoke Screens'
(Copyright, 1936, by Associated Press)
LONDON, March 17.- (A) - A high
British authority said tonight "it was
not conceivable" a lasting solution for
European problems could be found at
the present meeting of diplomatic rep-
resentatives of the Locarno pact pow-
ers.
His statement came as Locarno rep-
resentatives adjourned after another
midnight session on the heels of a
fresh French "ultimatum"and a So-
viet blast against Adolf Hitler .
The diplomatic gloom, temporarily
dissipated by Nazi agreement to send
delegates to the League of Nations
council session considering violation
of the Locarno treaty by German
remilitarization of the Rhineland,
deepened in the face of the British
statement.
The British authority expressed the
belief the Locarno representatives
could not produce a new mutual se-
curity pact to replace the old, al-
though he said delegates were trying
to find ways which would lead to
an eventual agreement into which
Germany and "everyone else" could
come.
"The French government is as anx-
ious to reach a peaceful solution
as we are," the British authorities
said. "We are trying to agree upon
the whole program of negotiations."
Soviet Russia's "Foreign Commis-
sar Maxim I itvi t ttery ,saied

proposals were a "smoke screen for
aggression."
Swiftly, Pierre Etienne Flandin,
France's foreign minister, issued a
statement containing two demands
which he said must be met before
France will negotiate on Germany's
peace plans.
Police Start Return
Trip With Hayden
A telegram received at 10 p.m. yes-
terday by Sergt. Norman Cook of the
Ann Arbor police department from
Chief of Police Lewis W. Fohey, who
has been in Sacramento, Cal., seek-
ing the return of William "Shorty"
Hayden, wanted here for murder, an-
nounced that he was already on his
way back with the prisoner.
Cook believed that Fohey, Hayden,
and Sergt. Sherman Mortenson and
Pros. Albert J. Rapp, who accompan-
ied the police chief, will reach Ann-1
Arbor Friday or Saturday.
Hayden is wanted as the murderer
of Officer Clifford Stang in at-
tempted daylight holdup here of
Conlin & Wetherbee's clothing store
on East Washington Street a year
ago Saturday.
Rapp acted as the arresting officer
on the coast, and Chief Fohey and
Sergeant Mortenson will guard Hay-
den on the trip home. One of them
is required to be handcuffed to Hay-
den throughout the trip.
110 Degrees Given
lI Graduate School
One hundred and ten degrees were
conferred in the Graduate School
at the close of the first semester, ac-
cording to Assistant Dean Peter Ok-
kelberg. This was an increase of
nine over the previous year.
The largest increase was noted in
Master of Arts degrees where 42 were
given, an increase of 14 over February,
1935. Twenty-five Master of Science
degrees were conferred while only 17
were given out the year before.
Contrasted with the 34 Doctor of
Philosophy degrees awarded in 1935,
only 26 were conferred this year.
While only one Master of Landscape
Design degree was conferred in Feb-
ruary of 1935, three were given out
this year.
One degree was conferred in Doctor
of Public Health as well as in Master
of Design and Aeronautical Engineer-
ing.
Five Doctor of Science degrees, one
Master of Science in Public Health,
four Master of Science degrees in
Engineering, and one Master of Arts
in Library Science were also con-
ferred.
Thomas Closes
Concert Series
Here Monday
Distinguished Opera Star
To Present First Recital
Before Local Audience
John Charles Thomas, distin-
guished opera and concert singer, will
appear in the last concert in the
Choral Union series to be given at
8:15 p.m. Monday.
This is the third appearance of the
distinguished American baritone in
Ann Arbor, although this is the first
song recital he has given before a
local audience
As a young man, Mr. Thomas won
great popular favor in light opera,
singing in "Maytime," "Apple Blos-
soms," "Alone At Last," and others.
After attaining this success he went
to Europe for further study, and
began his grand opera career at the
Royal Opera House in Brussels, where
he became known as "the American
singing ambassador to Belgium."
For his first group of selections for
Monday night's concert, Mr. Thomas
has chosen, "To Lo Sai" by Torelli,
"Alma del Core" by Caldara, "Schwes-
terlein" by Brahms, "Stille Thranen"
by Schumann, and "Der Ton" by
Marx.
The second group of numbers will
be played by Carroll Hollister, who
will accompany Mr. Thomas. He will
play "La Cathedrale Engloutie" by
Debussy and "Malaguena" by Lecu-
ona.
The third group, which will be sung
by Mr. Thomas, includes "O del Mio
Amato Ben" by Donaudy, "Le Manoir
de Rosamonde" by Dupare, "Amuri,
Amuri," arranged by Sadero, "L'In-
I truse" by Fevrier, and recitative from
"Herodiade" by Massanet.

Student Gathering Splits
On Question Of Support
For 'Old Parties'

Platform Of G.O.P.
300 Are Present At First
Session To Confer On
Political Situation
By FRED WARNER NEAL
More than 300 persons jammed the
Union ballroom last night to see the
Student Senat off to a flying start,
Farmer-Laborites and Democrats in
the saddle.
Although the Senate refused to go
on record as to its opinions on the
question, "Should the Student Back
the old Parties in the 1936 Cam-
paign?" articulate opinions indicated
that a vote would have been a close
one - the "nos" favoring the Farm-
er-Laborites and the "yeses" sticking
with the New Deal. In addition to
John B. Martin, Jr., '36, G.O.P.
speaker, but three persons declared
themselves Republicans and but two,a
besides Prof. Harold McFarlan of
the engineering college, Socialist
speaker, went on record as favoring
that belief.
Mrs. James McDonald of Ypsilanti,
vice-chairman of the State Demo-
cratic Central Committee, sounded
the keynote for her party, and de-
spite the fact that one Democratic
student charged her remarks "had
more spleen than direction," the ma-
jority of non-Socialist and non-Com-
munist students present, at least
those who made their remarks from
the floor, appeared to agree with her.
Luskin Gets Support
It was probably Leo Luskin, '36,
Communist speaker, however, who at-
tracted most of the articulate support.
Sounding the pitch of the new Ameri-
can Communist doctrine, that of a
Farmer-Labor party for the 1936 elec-
tion, he was supported by three ofe
the four speakers.
Each speaker was allowed exactly
three minutes, and at the end of thatr
time, the firm gavel of John C. Mc-
Carthy, '36, recording secretary of
the Union, chairman of the Senate,
came down with a bang.
Opening for the Republicans, Mar-
tin based his views on the contention
that no third party can succeed and 1
that the "better planks" of the So-
cialists and Communists sooner or
later will find their way into the
platforms of the Republicans or
Democrats. He indicted the present
Administration because he claimed
it had "excessive expenditures in
the hands of those incompetent, Mar-
riner Eccles and Henry Morgathau";
it sponsored unconstitutional meas-
ures; it junked the civil service; it is
vindictive to its critics and wasted
time and money on hasty legisla-
tion.

told the Senate it had to chose be-
tween "a smooth running, scientific
automobile and an old, run-down,

vised the students "not to worry about
a few billions," and claimed that the
constitution may be changed by "pop-

decision and amendment."

"America must break the rule of Wall

liberal elements unite under a Farm-
er-Labor banner, to treat the Sup-
reme Court like Lincoln did and to
bring about such legislation as the
Frazier-Lundeen Bill and the youth
act, advocated by the National Youth
Congress.
The Senate meeting started out
predominately radical, and it was
only gradually that the more conser-
vative students found their voices.

WolfgangPauli
Prof. Wolfgang Pauli, head of thec
theoretical physics department at the1
Federal Institute of Technology of]
Zurich, Switzerland, will visit thet
University to consult with members of
the physics department, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
Termed by members of the physics
staff as "an extremely renowned
physicist who has made several es-
sential contributions to the theory of
relativity and especially to the quan-
tum theory," Professor Pauli will lec-
ture on the "Relativistic Theory of
Particles Without Spin" to the public
at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Room 1041
E. Physics Bldg.
He will also address a restricted
audience of mathematically trained
physicists on "Spinor Analysis" dur-
ing the week-end.
Professor Pauli's most important
contribution to science, according to
Prof. Otto Laporte, of the physics de-
partment, is known in the physical
world as the "Pauli exclusion prin-
ciple," which, of a very mathematical
nature, states in essence that no two
electrons within an atom may oc-
cupy the same orbit. The Swiss
physicist was the first one to embody
the spinning electron, a conception of
the electron as spinning about its own
axis while it rotates about the nuc-
leus of the atom, into a satisfactory
theory which would fit with other
theories, Professor Laporte stated.
Professor Pauli has been lecturing
since September, 1935, at the Prince-
ton Institute for Advanced Study.

Chockley Selected
As Judiciary Head
Installation Banquet Slated
To Be Held In League
Ballroom April 6
By JOSEPHINE McLEAN
(Daily women's Editor)
Charlotte D. Rueger, '37, was
named president of the League yes-
terday at a meeting of the electoral
board. Lois King, '37, was appoint-
ed secretary-treasurer by this group,
and Maryanna Chockley, '37, was se-
lected to act as chairman of Judiciary
Council by this year's president, Win-
ifred Bell, '36.
The newly appointed officers will be
officially inaugurated at the Instal-
lation Banquet April 6, in the ball-
room of the League. In the mean-
time ,they will sit with the old League
Undergraduate Council.
All three women have been prom-
inent in activities. Miss Rueger has
served on the editorial staff of The
Daily for three years, in which ca-
pacity she has acted as chairman of
publicity for Panhellenic Ball, Junior
Girls Play, and Sophomore Cabaret.
During the Summer Session she acted
as society editor of The Daily.
On Many Committees
She has also been closely connected
with the League. She is a member
of the house reception committee, and
last summer served on the social and
hostess committees. For the Chil-
dren's Theatre, she worked in the
box-office, handled publicity, and told
stories in the Ann Arbor Schools.
Miss Rueger is affiliated with Col-
legiate Sorosis and Wyvern, junior
honorary society.
Miss King, a member of Pi Beta
Phi and Wyvern, is chairman of the
Theatre Arts committee. She has
acted as program chairman of Sopho-
more Cabaret and has served on the
social committee of the League. Miss
King was associated with the editor-
ial staff of The Daily for two years.
Miss Chockley has sat on the Ju-
diciary Council this year as well as
heading the League Fair and partici-
pating in the Junior Girls Play. She
was chairman of the Sophomore Cab-
aret. She served on the Orientation
committee for two years, acting as
leader of the transfer group last fall.
Miss Chockley is affiliated with Delta
Gamma aiid Wyvern.
Selected On Merit System
The new officers were selected un-
der the Merit System which has been
in effect for three years. Petitions
were submitted to the Judiciary
Council from Feb. 17-28 and inter-
views were held March 1-14.
Recommendations for the positions
of president and of secretary-treas-
urer were placed before the Under-
graduate Council for consideration
and discussion. Accepted by the
Council, they were submitted to the
electoral board consisting of Dean
Alice C. Lloyd, Dr. Margaret Bell,
Miss Ethel McCormick, Jean Seeley,
'36, president of the League, Laura
Jane Zimmerman, '36, treasurer, Bet-
ty Scherling, '36, secretary and Miss
Bell, chairman of the electoral board.
The new officers were unanimously
elected.
Positions Combined
The positions of secretary and
treasurer were combined by the Un-
dergraduate Council recently at the
suggestion of Miss Scherling and Miss
Zimmerman, and Miss King will be
the first to fill both offices.
The new chairman of Judiciary
Council is traditionally appointed by
the outgoing chairman from the two
junior members on the council.
Petitions for various chairmanships
will be discussed by the Undergrad-
uate Council, appointing power lying
with the president and the secretary-
treasurer. For the first time the
chairman of Judiciary Council will
sit with the president and secretary-
treasurer as a non-voting member,
serving in an advisory capacity.
