Midst cheers and applause that have seldom been equalled in the huge auditorium, Coach Ciisler de- clared, "Taking the tradition, her- itage and material at hand, I cannot but transform them into something on the gridiron." He said that he could not promise or pledge anything but fighters on the football field. "I will make no super demands of my men," the Coach shouted, "but I insist upon 100 per cent moral courage and backing from each team member." The new coach said that he wanted to be associated with Michigan and be a part of Michigan from now on. "When you see me 'or any of my staff on the street, call us by our nicknames--Fritz, Clarence, Dick or Marty," he said, Preceding Crisler's talk, the other new coaches addressed the crowd. Backfield Coach Earl Martineau ex- pressed his pleasure at being here, and promised to give Michigan as good a backfield as he could; End Coach Campbell Dickson gave his pledge of full cooperation, loyalty and effort to Michigan and Line Coach Clarence Munn promised to give Michigan the best he had. Fred Janke, '39, captain of next year's team also pledged his best for Michigan. Michael Gorman, editor of the Flint Journal, acted as master of cere- monies for the evening, and the Var- sity cheerleaders were vociferously present. The high point of the band's per- formance of the evening was the playing of the "Crisler Medley," com- prised of songs of the University of Chicago, the University of Minnesota, Princeton University and "The Vic-- tors." Crisler has coached at all the schools honored by the medley. Michigan cheers, led by the varsity cheerleaders, were given intermit- tently throughout the entire program, and the crowd responded in a manner unequalled in any pep rallies of the past few years. Don Siegel, '39E, varsity tackle, and. Helen Bak, '38, were winners of the prizes given away with the numbered programs of the evening. Meeting Of Student Senate To Be Today The Student Senate will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in Room C, Haven Hall. Students and faculty members are invited to attend the session. The report of the Rules Committee will- be considered, and a resolution equesting the State Department to investigate the status of Ralph Nea- fus, '36F&C, may be presented for Senate action. The Senate will also consider an- swering questions in a nation-wide poll on national and international problems being conducted by the Brown Daily Herald of Brown University. Beer Jackets, Love Dreams' Herald Spring Spring arrived yesterday bringing with it beer jackets, one-man classes and absent-minded professors. It was rumored that a rooming house owner on Thompson Street was seen washing windows and chinking ceiling cracks with cardboard. The steps of Angell Hall held a capacity crowd of 36 freshmen and one gen- uine B.M.O.C. Local oases, libraries and theatres were deserted. A telephone survey of male stu- dents revealed that the fancies of 7,- 400 had turned to love, while 68 others were occupied with mid-se- mester bluebooks. Church Faces Girirave Crisis, Crane Asserts World Pointing To War, Yet No Remedy Sought, Loud Lecturer Claims The present world crisis is hurling a truculent challenge at Christianity, said Dr. Henry Hitt Crane, this year's speaker for the Martin Loud annual lecture series in a talk yesterday af- ternoon at the Union Ballroom. In spite of the fact that everybody wants peace desperately, he stated, the world is pointing to wa and sui- cide and nothing is done about it. In his discussion of the government's navy building program, he branded Roosevelt "stark mad." And yet, he added, he gets his sanction from pro- fessed Christians. There is only one legitimate atti- tude for Christians, Dr. Crane ex- plained. They should be able to "take it" in times of stress, as the early Christians did in the first two or three centuries. He praised Neimul- ler, German minister imprisoned for his opposition to the Nazi regime, for daring to stand up where many others fell. It is only in the movies, stories and theatre that the righteous receive material rewards, he claimed. In real life, he said, the consequences of leading a Christian life cannot be measured by am physical standard. Dr. Crane will give the second in his series of lectures at 4:15 p.m. today at the Union Ballroom and at 7:30 pm. in the Methodist Church. He will also give an informal talk at a luncheon in the church and will address a meeting of the Fellowship of Reconciliation at 9 p.m. at Lane Hall. ]liree Lectures Scheduled here Prof. Needham Of Cornell To Speak Tomorrow Prof. James B.

Knott Speaks Tomorrow m _ A7 1 - - - -w- Judge Sample Withholds Use Of Courtroom In Labor Suit Murphy Orders Secretary To InVestigate Condition Of Ann Arbor Press Local Establishment Is Testing Statute Circuit Judge George S. Sample has refused to allow the National Labor Relations Board to hold a hearing in the Washtenaw County Court room, the Daily was informed yesterday. At the same time the Daily learned from Lansing that Governor Murphy, in response to complaints at the awarding of a contract to the Ann ArborPress by the Upper Peninsula Development Bureau, had ordered Executive Secretary Norman Hill to investigate the conditions under which the Ann Arbor Press was oper- ating and determine whether or not the firm was living up to the re- quirements pledged in a sworn state- ment to the State in September. Under the terms of Public Act 153 the work onState printing contracts can be awarded only to shops where the wage levels equal those prevailing in the locality. Complaint Due Soon The National Labor Relations Board complaint against the Ann Ar- bor Press, charged with violation of the Wagner Act, is "about to be is- sued," according to Harold Crane- field, NLRB attorney of the Detroit office. Cranefield and representatives of the Ann Arbor Press and the Inter- national Typographical Union, which has been conducting a strike against the local printing plant for more than a month, conferred yesterday in an effort to secure the company's con- pliance with the Wagner Act. No results were announced. If the complaint is issued, the hear- ing will begin March 31 in the Union. However, conferences looking toward compliance with the Act are always welcomed by the NLRB evei after a complaint is issued and up to the time the trial examiner makes his "intermediate report," Cranefield said yesterday. - Four Charges Listed Charges filed against the Ann Ar- bor Press by the union include four "unfair labor practices" and a re- quest under Section 9 (c) of the Act for certification by the Board as the representative of the majority of em- ployes in the composing room, which would entitle the union to be the exclusive agent of the composing room employes in collective bargain- When contacted last night Judge Sample declared that he never per- mitted outside groups to use the court because of the press of business. He pointed out that when asked by a representative of the NLRB for the use of the court's facilities he had said that not only could he not permit it for a few weeks but not even for one day. Spring Concert This Thursday Glee Club Climaxes Year With Annual Program Michigan's much-publicized Men's Glee Club will climax the most ac- tive year in its history when it pre- sents its annual complimentary spring concert Thursday night in Hill Auditorium. Preparations are being made for a capacity crowd, according to club of- ficials. They believe the student body will show unusual interest be- cause the club has been acclaimed as the best of its type in the coun- try by critics in a number of cities where concerts were given. The program to be presented will be divided into two portions, the first will be composed of traditional works while the second; "A Michigan Ka$ leidoscope," will be intended primari- ly for student consumption. A spe- cial feature will be the appearance of the Midnight Sons quartet.
