XLVH No. 125 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1937 PRICE FIVE CENTS 'Bad Conduct' RulesClarified By University Committee Interpretation Stresses Unchaperoned Women Regulation Liquor In Rooms Is AlsoDeplored A specific interpretation of the Board of Regents' regulation regard- ing the conduct of students was is- sued yesterday by the Committee on Student Conduct. The Committee's interpretation of the Board's regulations centered par- ticularly on the presence 'of unchap- eroned women guests in fraternities and men's rooming houses, and the use of or presence of intoxicating liquors in student quarters, both of which were "disapproved," but not specifically forbidden. The new regulations were prepared by the Committee because of com- plaints from students that the rules as set by the Regents were too vague and general. A similar set of regu- lations was issued by the Committee in 1934, but are superseded by the present set in order to state more precisely conduct disapproved by the University. Student Obligation The regulations of the Regents on general standards of conduct which the Committee sought to clarify state: "Enrollment in the University carries with it obligations in regard to con- duct, not only inside but also out- side the classroom, and students are expected to conduct themselves in such a manner as to be a credit both to themselves and to the Univer- sity. "They are amenable to the laws governing the community as well as to the rules and orders of the Uni- versity and- the University officials, and they are expected to observe the standards of conduct approved by the University. "Whenever a student, group of stu- dents, society, fraternity or other stu- dent organization fails to observe the standards of conduct as above 'out- lined, or conducts himself or itself in sUch a manner as to make it apparent that he or it is not a desirable mem- ber or part of the University, he or it shall1 be liable to disciplinary action by the proper University au- thorities." Specific Rules The specific standards of conduct set forth by the Committee in inter- pretation of the Regent's general standards are: "The presence of women guests in fraternity houses, men's rooming houses, or other men's rooming quarters, except when chap- erons approved by the University au- thorities are present, is not in ac- cord with the generally accepted standards and conventions of society and is disapproved. "The use or presence of intoxicating liquors in student quarters has a ten- dency to impair student morale and is contrary to the best interests of the students and the University, and is disapproved. "Student organizations are expect- ed to take all reasonable measures to promote among their own mem- bers conduct consistent with good (Continued on Page 6) Belief In God Called Rational By Brightman Says Faith In Immortality Is Justifiable By Reason In Loud Lecture Emphasizing that a belief in God rests upon a rational basis, Prof. E. S. Brightman of Boston University de- clared that faith in the future of God and immortality could be justified by reason, in the third of four Martin Loud lectures delivered last night at the Methodist Church. Professor Brightman maintained that such a belief necessarily stemmed from an acceptance of God.- He reasoned that while the accept- ance of God is not the only conclu- sion which can be drawn from our experience, it is one which our ex- perience proclaims to be rational. And since it is rational it is the most satis- factory explanation because it makes clear not only the physical but the spiritual in man's existence. First Michigras Drew $4,000; 'Sultan's Retreat' Was Big Hit Prototype Held Ini 1905 Called Union Fair, Daily Files Reveal By ROBERT WEEKS Exotic fantasy characterized the 1905 Union Fair, the original of to- day's Michigras, for though it was held in the now outmoded Waterman Gymnasium such booths as "The Sul-, tan's Retreat,"- the contribution of Chi Psi Fraternity, lent an air of glamor, according to The Daily files of that year. The total receipts of the forerun- ner of the Michigras were $4,000, the earnings coming from more than 40 sideshows sponsored by fraternities, honor societies and other campus organizations. The prize booth was under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain Club, which had fitted up one corner of Barbour Gymnasium in the manner of a typical western saloon. They dispensed soft drinks in Rock Mountain style, according to roulette wheels to add to the sinister the files, and had faro games and atmosphere. Another booth was, the Phi Psi's shoot the chutes, which proved a knock-out in terms of 1905 con- viviality. A large parade was held the first day of the Fair, with many floats and a steam caliope, which was constructed by a senior engineer and operated by steam from a thresh- ing machine. "A bare back rider galloped up and down during the parade and the Union To Open Building Today To All Students Water Polo Match, Exhibit To Feature Second Open House; Rates Reduced The second Union Open House of this year will be held from 7 until 10 p.m. today. The varied program offers -exhibi- tions by four University departments and one 'school, the Women's Glee Club, a water polo match and Bob Steinle's music, according to Burton W. Wellman, Jr., '38, chairman of the committee in charge. The finals in the Interfraternity bowling tournament, although not sponsored by the open house commit- tee, will be held during the three- hour period. A group of pictures from the Ath- letic Administration collection will be on display, Wellman said. Reduced prices will prevail in the Tap Room. The chemistry department's exhib- ition will include an x-ray demon- stration, in which welding will be ex- amined for expertness and golf balls for alignment of their centers, ac- cording to Frederick A. Collins, '38, member of the Union executive coun- cil who is assisting in the manage- ment of the open house. A microscopic examination of pol- ished metals and a device for testing their hardness will also be featured in this exhibition. An oscillograph, which is used for testing voices, will be included in the electrical engineering depart- ment exhibition. A miniature model research room will also be included, as well as a ring tossing game. The geology department will ex- hibit minerals, and the forestry school will display pictures and car- toons on conservation, The land- scape design department exhibition will feature miniatures of model homes and gardens. 'beautiful girl' who had lived all her life on a ranch, performed feats of horsemanship that caused the crowd to gasp," according to the ar- ticle about the parade in The Daily, The most recent Union Fair was held in 1924 and its goal was enough money to pay for a swimming pool in the Union. It was held in Yost Field House, which had just been completed, and although it did not' make enough money to pay for the pool it took in $6,500, of which $3,- 000 was profit. In general thihs fair was similar to the Michigras, except that the lat- ter is expected to pursue the circusE idea more by having a ferris wheel and a merry-go-round, according to Willis H. Tomlinson, general chair- man. The Michigras is being con- ducted to raise money for a women'st swimming pool and dormitories for men, Tomlinson said. e i e Independents Pick Connittee At First Dinner Temporary Board Chosen To Organize Group; Plan Meeting Mondayf A temporary executive organizationt committee was elected at the first dinner meeting of the Independents last night at the Union over which. Bruce Telfer, '38, member of the Executive Council of the Union, pre-l sided. It was decided by the 40 indepen- dent men who attended to hold the next meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday. The group determined to have the next gathering in the form of a general and not dinner meeting in order to include men who would be unable to attend because of workt during meal times. The three junior members of the temporary executive board are Mar-t vin Sanderson, Irving Silverman and Tuure Tenander; the two sophomores, Marvin Reider and Edward Magdol; the two"freshmen, Phil Westbrook' and Jay Rockwell. Telfer was re- tained as temporary chairman with William Barndt, associate business. manager of The Daily, and Richard S. Clark, president of the Student Christian Association, added to the committee as senior advisers. Songs were led by Barndt, a ques-' tionaire to determine the interests ofa the group was issued and a meeting Friday was decided upon for the executive committee.' Many Persons Los e Religion, Brigitman Says The impatient rejection of his- torical Christianity characterizes a great many people today, stated Prof. Edgar Sheffield Brightman, of Boston University, Martin Loud lecturer, yes- terday at Natural Science Auditorium. Although the Bible and the Church have often beenneglected and re- pudiated, Professor Brightman con- tinued, they both have taken on new life and have manifested new vigor after periods of neglect and decay. The Bible is the soul and the Church is the body of Christianity, he told his listeners. Christianity can- not exist without either. Christianity is unthinkable without a living re- lation to the Bible and it is so social in its essential spirit that it must ex- press itself through a community of believers, that is, a church. ScholarshipIs Emphasized By Neymeyer Declares Undergraduates Must Improve College Fraternity'sReputation Sigma Phi Receives Scholarship Award Detroit's Labor Gathers In Show Of C.I.O. Power; Lewis, Chrysler To Meet a P. i1 The college fraternity is one of the nost misunderstood institutions in America and the task of improving its reputation lies heavily upon to- Jay's undergraduates, Frederick H. Neymeyer, former member of the Na- tional Interfraternity Conference and authority on fraternity affairs, told 150 initiates at the Interfraternity Council Initiation Banquet last night in the Union ballroom. Blaming "the demoralizing minor- ity that gets all of the publicity," Mr. Neymeyer declared that fraternities offer to the country some of its great- st leaders, but that despite the ad- vantages of the fraternity the pub- licity given this minority has given the fraternity a bad name in the public mind. Bursley Awards Cup "The improvement of scholarship is one of the duties that Michigan freshmen have to perform in order to fulfill their obligation to the fra- ternity as an institution," he said, and exhorted the freshmen to do this for their own good and the good of their fraternities. Previous to Mr. Neymeyer's speech Dean of Students Joseph A. Bursley, presented the Interfraternity Scho- larship Cup to the freshman class of Sigma Phi fraternity whose 1.92 aver- age was the highest for last semester of the 41 fraternities in the council. Dean Bursley said that of the 700 freshmen pledged last fall only 62 fer cent of them were eligible for initiation. Commends Winners "This is not a large enough per cent, nor does it represent all that the fraternities can do," he said. Commending the Sigma Phi's standing, he pointed to the variability of grades among fraternities, the low- est pledge class scholastically having made a .7 average. Fraternity finances are better this year than they have been since the University began supervising them two years ago, according to Prof. Ro- bert P. Briggs of the economics de- partment, fraternity financial ad- visor. Professor Briggs told the fresh- man that fraternity finances weren't so sound as they had been told last fall, but that he hoped by June only one tenth of the fraternities on cam- pus would be losing on their current operating expenses. Last year about one third lost money, he said. George Cosper, '37, president of the council expressed the hope that the initiation banquet would become an annual event for the presentation Af the scholarship cup. 'Hunk' To Talk With SCA Men; May Tell Plans Rendezvous Men To Start Boxing Ticket Sale Drive For Fresh Air Camp Heartly (Hunk) Anderson, Michi- gan head line coach, will make his first public appearance here at 7:30 p.m. today in Lane Hall.

Murphy Calls Principles Of Strike At Chrysler's; To LansingToday Industrialist Keeps{ Stand On Eviction Dewey Will Again Assist Governor In Negotiating For Peace With Labor DETROIT, March 23.-(R)-Mich- igan's automotive, peacemaker, Gov. Frank Murphy, drew the pattern to- night for a new "Lansing agreement," by which he hoped to induce 6,000 sit- down strikers peacefully to end their 16-day occupancy of eight Chrysler Corp. automobile plants here. Walter P. Chrysler and John L. Lewis, of the Committee for Indus- trial Organization, accepted invita- tions to meet with the governor in Lansing tomorrow, but Chrysler add- ed: "We will not enter any 'trade to' get the men out of the plants." Dewey Helps Lewis earlier had informed the Governor he would be present, but said. the invitation suggested "that I confer under duress."~ The conference was scheduled for 11 a.m. An injunction calling for the evic- tion of the sit-down strikers was is- sued in circuit court last week, but no steps have been taken thus far to enforce it. James F. Dewey, federal Depart- ment of Labor conciliator who aided the governor in bringing about a set- tlement of recent General Motors strikes, hastened to Lansing tonight to discuss Murphy's proposals to end the Chrysler dispute. Details of the solution considered by the Governor were not disclosed. While the labor titan and the in- dustrial tycoon headed west from Washington and New York respec- tively, the deadlock in the strike af- ecting. 10,000 Hudson Motor Car Co. workers persisted. "Definite progress" was reported in conferences attending a strike involving 2,200 employes of the Reo Motor Car Co. at Lansing. More Legal Action New legal action against "sit- downers" was instituted in the courts as a survey showed more than 2,100 sitters had been forced out of 24 stores, factories and a shipyard in [llinois, Michigan, New York, Ken- tucky and Connecticut since officials first elected to use police against them a month ago. Judges issued injunctions directing the evacuation of sitters encamped in the Champion Shoe Co. in New York and the Butler Steel Tank plant in Kansas City. Removal .of strikers from three buildings and a subsequent police check showing no such demonstration was in effect in Chicago, prompted hief John Prendergast of the uni- formed force to comment: "It looks like the day of the 'sit- down' strike here is at an end." Bud several other Chicago strikes continued, among them the 19-day valkout of cab drivers.

Standing on a balcony of the Palaz- zo Venezia, Il Duce told a Fascist throng that criticism by Anglican churchmen of the Italian suppression of an "Ethiopian outbreak was "hys- terical, hypocritical oratory." (The English Archbishops of Can- terbury and York recently attacked what they called the "general mas- sacre" in Ethiopia after Ethiopians had tried unsuccessfully to kill Mar- shal Rodolfo Graziani, Italian vice- roy),. "To the bad faith of others," Mus- solini shouted, "We shall oppose our indestructible will; to the castle of lies of others, the gusts of our impetu- ous and tempestuous truth; to the blind hatred of others, our conscious contempt."~ Press attacks on Italy in both Great Britain and France, the Premier de- clared, were "a tempest of printed paper and an inundation of turbid ink."

We are going to get our just due." Martin directed his remarks to officials of the city and state, to manufacturers and at one point to Henry Ford. Addressing himself to Ford, Martin said: "You can't stop the union. You can't keep your workers from joining the union. The automobile workers of this city and nation are going to organize, and we are telling you that it is going to happen. You might as well get ready to do business with your organized workers. Addresses Couzens Richard T. Frankensteen, organ- izational director of the UAW called the meeting the largest labor gather- ing ever held in the United States, and claimed that the Union had won wage increases totaling more than $150,000,000 in recent weeks. Addressing Mayor Frank Couzens, Martin said: "Mr. Mayor, you join us in helping eliminate the dastardly working con- ditions of our people, and we'll quit sitting down. Even a jackass has enough sense to sit down when he is overworked." Martin praised Gov. Frank Murphy, who, he said, "has stood generally on the principle of human rights above property rights." The gathering was entirely orderly.. Curtis Cancels Trip Because Of Illness Because of illness that two weeks ago' sent him to the University hos- pital, Dr. Heber D. Curtis, director of University observatories, has been forced to call off the trip he had planned to make in June to the Pa- cific to view a solar eclipse, it was ymade known yesterday. Prof. S. A. Mitchell of the Leander McCormick observatory, University of Virginia, who is heading the expedi- tion, has been notified by Dr. Curtis that he will be unable to make the trip. Play Production Is Worrying; Pageantry And Dancing Needed Permanent CCC Needs Broader Employment Range, Allen Says By ELSIE ROXBOROUGH Calling for ballroom dancing, elab- orate pageantry, and even a chris- tening ceremony, the production of "ftenry the Eighth" is causing no little concern to the directors of the music and dancing in the production, which will be presented by Play Pro- duction March 31, April 1-3. Achilles Taliaferro, Grad., of the School of Music, directing the music in the play, has been finding it dif- ficult to find authentic music of the 16th century. Finally he struck upon the music of the ancient composers Orlando Gibbons, William Bull, Arne and John Bull who will supply all of trumpet call before each curtain and the roll of the snare drums through- out the play-for the entrance of cer- tain characters and to herald in im- portant events. A double quartet will sing the choral part in the coronation and christening scenes. Included in the quartet are Mildred Olson, '37Ed., who will also do a solo, "Orpheus with His Lute," and Lois Grieg, '38SM, sopranos; Marguerite Creighton, '37- SM and Norine La Barge, '38, con- traltos; Thomas Williams and Mau- rice Gerow, '38SM, tenors; and Donn Chown, '38SM and Alexander Miller, basses. By ROY SIZEMORE If the CCC is to be made a perma- nent branch of the government, it should have a better reason for exist- ence than supplying employment for sons of families on relief, Prof. Shir- ley W. Allen of the School of Forestry and Conservation, who has been con- nected with camps operated by the State Department of Conservation and the National Park Service. "Its establishment as a permanent agency would, to me, seem advisable only in case it would provide general employment and would include all classes of work. However, there is still enough of an emergency existing -_, _ -4'---;-- 4a c i f nnrlc that the army would have a much harder time taking over the technical duties of the forest service and other bureaus than these agencies would have taking over the administrative of the army," Professor Allen said. Ir his opinion, the quartermaster and accounting duties of the army woulk be the most difficult to duplicate. "Discipline in the camps," Professor Allen said, "would probably not suf- fer and on the other hand there would be no criticism for militaristic ten- dencies. A change in the name of the or- ganization might be highly desirable, Professor Allen suggested. "That is, it would probably be more honest anc 3 a A 1 1 "r i Methodists To Sponsor Third Morning Watch The third in the series of morning watches being held during Holy Week in the League Chapel under the aus- pices of a general committee repre- senting the Congregational, the Dis- ciples, Presbyterian, Methodist, Bap- tist and Lutheran guilds is to be held from 7:30 to 7:55 p.m. today.
