British Press Association
Does Not Think Edward
Will Abdicate
LONDON, Dec. 4.-()-Great Bri-
tain's precedent-breaking monarch,
staunch in the face of demands he
give up his thr'one or Mrs. Wallis
WArfield Simpson, sped early today
to a rendezvous with the woman the
empire's strongest forces said lie must
not marry as long as he is England's
king.
A swift series of conferences be-
tween Edward VIII, his prime min-
ister, and the queen mother appar-i
ently were unsuccessful in their pur-1
pose to break the strong-willed ruler's
determination to live his private life
as he chooses.
Leaves Before Dawn
Speeding from Buckingham Palace
shortly before dawn, he drove to his.
secluded lodge at Fort Belvedere
where Mrs. Simpson, alone save for
servants, waited throughout the night
while Edward argued their destinies.
At the end of 48 hours the king still
was defiant of the ultimatum of
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, arch
enemy of the ruler's marriage to a
twice-divorced woman, laid before the
king-that he and his cabinet would
resign unless Edward bowed to their
will.
Far into the morning hours the
constitutional storm over the mon-
arch's believed desire to marry Mrs.
Simpson raged from No. 10 Downing
Street to .the farthest posts of the
empire
Persistent rumors that Baldwin
speedily would force Edward's abdi-
cation were not borne out by de-
velopments during the day and night.
Press ums Situation
Authoritative opinion hardened
into belief a solution for the impasse
still could be attained. The British
press association summed up the at-
titude of parliament on the crisis in a
statement which said: "The general
opinion among members of parlia-
ment tonight was that a way would
be found out of the problem and not
by abdication, resignations of the
Baldwin government or by a general
election."
New and powerful elements entered
the amazing drama when the domin-
ions exerted their influence as auto-
nomous units of Edward's realm. Do-
minion representatives sought avoid-
ance of any precipitous move which
mightp preclude a quick decision on
the future of the grown.
Ice Carnival
Concert, Urged
To Swell Fund
Projects Are Suggested
For J-Hop Week-End By
Dormitory Committee
An ice carnival in the University
hockey arena during the week-end
of the J-Hop and a concert by the
Chrysler Male Choir in Hill Audi-
torium the day following the carnival
were two projects suggested for the
future discussed by the Committee on
Men's Dormitories at its general
meeting Wednesday.
By means of the dormitory dance,
the Committee swelled its funds to
approximately $2,000, Hubert Bris-
tol, '37, chairman of the dance com-
mittee, announced at the meeting.-
The returns from the dance, how-

ever, Bristol pointed out, are not yet
complete, for the sum already collect-
ed is $920.63 with more than 300
tickets not yet turned in. When all
the tickets have been accounted for,
Bristol predicted, the profits from the
dance, discounting the $500 expenses
incurred, will approximate $500.
Gilbert Tilles, '37, chairman of the
Committee, calling the dance a suc-
cess from the standpoints of both
finances and arousing student inter-
est, enumerated several sources which
have pledged sums from the proceeds

Contributor To Forum
May Cut Ec. Blue Book
A new way of cutting a bluebook
was suggested yesterday in Economics
51 lecture but this time, strangely
enough, by the professor.
In view of the agitation throughj
the columns of The Daily Forum fort
a new system of marking and exam-
ination in Ec. 51, Prof. Howard S.
Ellis yesterday invited the author of
the first article on this subject, an
"A.M.," to attend the economics staff
meeting yesterday afternoon and see
how the examination is drawn up,
This person was then to be ex-
cused from the coming examination
on the condition that he or she write
another letter to the Forum of The
Daily explaining exactly the method
of drawing up the examination. This
person would, furthermore, not be
requested to withhold the questions
from fellow classmates, but would
merely be depended upon as "a citizen
to respect the confidence of the staff.
The student's grade would then be
judged upon the other examinations
taken in the course with the one next
Wednesday disregarded entirely.
Minimum Wage1
Is Established
By Local Union
35 Cents Per Hour Wage
For Student Workers
Set Last Night
The Student Workers Federation,
meeting last night in the Union, es-
tablished 35 cents an hour as a min-
imum wage and appointed a com-
mittee to meet with appointed rep-
resentatives of the Uiversity to form
a faculty-student group to deal with
student problems.
The Federation voted to offer full
cooperation to the University admin-
istration in enforcing the University
standard of 35 cents an hour. They
suggested as a means of enforcing
the standard, to place approval cards
in all businesses meeting the mini-
mum requirements.
Prof. John Dawson of the law
school, speaking to the 50 members
present, reminded'them that with the
acquisition of power comes certain re-
sponsibilities. He advised caution in
making steps and suggested full co-
operation with the University au-
thorities.
Earl Luby, '38, Willard Martinson,
Grad., and Tom Downs, '38, were
named members of a committee to
confer with the administration on a
proposed faculty-student board to
consider student complaints. The
move was suggested by the University
this week.
TALAMON'S SISTER DIES
Word has been received of the
death in Paris Monday of Madame

Prof. David Mattern, of the School
of Music, and members of the Glee
Club will be available on invitation
to go to any fraternity, sorority, dor-
mitory or other campus group in
order to teach the Christmas carols
for the Ann Arbor Community Sing,
it was announced yesterday.
Printed programs with the words
of the Christmas songs have been
delivered to chapter houses and dor-
mitories by the Union and League,
and additional copies will be avail-
able for other students at these two
places.
Cars Barred After 4 P.M.
From Carrillon Area
No moving automobiles will be
permitted in the vicinity of the caril-
lon tower this afternoon from 4:15
until the completion of the dedica-
tion ceremonies, Mayor Robert A.
Campbell announced yesterday. The
restricted area is bounded by South
State St., East Huron St., Forrest
Ave., Geddes Ave., Church St., and
South University. The reason for
this action was to lessen noise during
the concert.

M. Cuncannon of the political science
department. "It is especially a good
move at an institution such as Mich-

Professor Cuncannon pointed out
that the footballers do a great deal
for the University and that at least
provision should be made that they
be in good physical condition.
"No," was the answer Prof. Robert
C. Angell of the sociology department
gave when he was asked if he fa-

for the gridiron team. "I don't be-

The dedicatory ritual following the

senior honor societies, Michigamua,
Druids, Vulcans, Barristers and Ga-
lens will act as ushers, has been an-
nounced by Prof. Wilmot ?ratcaril-
lonneur, as follows:
"America"; two hymns, "A Mighty
Fortress Is Our God," and "Now the
Day is Over"; variations on "Ode to
Joy," by Beethoven; Minuet by Mo-
zart; "Laudes atque Carina," by
Stanley; and "Preludium for Caril-
lon," by Denyn.
Fifty-three special invitations have
been sent to carillonneurs and musi-
cians in the United States, Canada
and Europe by Prof. Earl V. Moore,
director of the School of Music. All
faculty, students, and townspeople
are invited to the dedication, accord-
ing to Dr. Frank Robbins, assistant to
the president.
The Board of' Regents will attend
the dedication, having set their
monthly meeting a week late in order
to be in town for the ceremony. At
their meeting today at least one im-
portant appointment of the presi-
dent will be considered.
Largest Bell
A carillon is judged more by the
size and weight of the largest bell
than by the number of bells it con-
tains, according to Prof. Earl V.
Moore, director of the School of
Music. By this standard, the Baird
Carillon is the world's third largest.
With its 53 bells, the largest of
which weighs 12 tons, the Michigan
carillon follows that of the Riverside
Church, New York, which has 72
bells, largest 20 tons, and that of
the University of Chicago Chapel
which also has 72 bells, largest 18
tons.
The Baird bells have a range of
four and one-half octaves, while the
first two mentioned have six octaves.
A score or more carillons of the
four-octave range are located in va-
rious parts of this country, Professor
Moore said. All of the bells were
cast, tuned, and erected by English
firms.
Certain American bell founders
have produced some intermediate
bells of a quality equal to the im-
ported ones but as yet have not
produced large or extremely small
bells-which, he says, present great
difficulty in the matter of tuning
and tone quality.

Pseudo-Sophistication Is No Lure,
For Michigan's Football Heroes]

By BETSY ANDERSON
The words of a popular song of
some years back claimed "you gotta
be a football hero to get along with a
beautiful girl," but neglected to ad-
vising the beautiful girls how to get
along with the football hero.
In order to remedy this defect,
several of the members of the 1935
squad were contacted as to their
opinion of the Michigan woman.
Michigan women were generally
conceded to be good dates, although
a general cry arose against sophisti-
cation. However, several claimed
that it did not exist here and threat
the "pseudo-sophistication," as one
player aptly phrased it, attempted
by many of the women outweighed
their natural good qualities.
Naturalness was the one quality
unanimously sought by all, and
"Wally" Hook added friendliness and
sincerity.

that while he thought that being a
football player occasionally aided in
getting an initial date, many of the
new women here succumbing to the
"glory stuff," as he called it, it was
the personality of the player that
won out in the long run.
There was quite a bit of diversified
opinion on the subject of whether
being a football player helped in
getting dates. Brennan claimed it
usually did, although Cooper and
Frank Bissell both said that it only
impressed the new and average
woman on campus, the more mature
students being more interested in the
player as an individual.
Earle Luby, while admitting that
there were good-looking women on
campus, claimed that "dating here
as a whole is in the hole" and blamed
the women students for much of the
formality that exists here.
Contrary to the ponular idea that
