"The oroposals you are considering are an essential part of the action which must be taken without delay." La Guardia, endorsing the lending- spending program, said all bills hav- ing to do with recovery efforts could be referred to the committee which he proposed. Recovery Plan Is fit WASHINGTON, May 2.-(/P')- Winthrop W. Aldrich, one of 16 big businessmen who recently offered President Roosevelt their help in re- storing confidence and normal busi- ness, denounced tonight the new ad- ministration plan for promoting re- covery by vast Federal loans and ex- penditures. Aldrich, Chairman of the Board of the Chase National Bank, told the American section of the International Chamber of Commerce that the pro- gram was based upon an economic fallacy, derived from the writings of Karl Marx, holding possibilities of a "crash of the government credit and a debauch of the currency." He blamed the depression upon Governmental policies which, he said, in the last few years had been direct- sd at increasing the income of the consumers and at the same time di- minishing savings for use in invest- ments, in creating new capital and in maintaining existing capital. Mean- while, he said, reforms have come too rapidly. Spring Parley Sends Proposals To Student Senate For Action (C tinu ed from Page 1) i'ecommended to investigate educa- tional problems. Compus o ry class attendance throughout the University should be abolished, it was decided. All grading in the literary college should be done on a pass or fail basis only, the ma- jority of those present at the session agreed. One resolution called for means by which "students may appraise their instructors for t0e benefit and in- formation" of the instructors and the administration. Another motion urged the Board of Regents to relieve fac- ulty men interested only in research from teaching duties. The eleventh "education" resolu- tion called , for comprehensive de- partmental examinations to replace- the present credit-grade system, and the twelfth urged that weekly or daily announcements of interesting class- room lectures in every field be made. Housing . Eliminating the University room contract, it was felt, will also elimin- ate the "advantage" the landlady has * "over the student." The other resolution in this division recommended the establishment of a committee to look into the possibility of providing student housing sub- sidized by state, federal or private funds. The committee, to work with the President anal the Board of Re- gents, should include a sociologist, an economist, an architect and a real estate expert. Security The first resolution touching on security requested the appointment of a committee by the Student Senate to investigate student employment and working conditions and recommend a course of action to be followed next fall by an organization of working students, Another Student Senate committee was suggested to deal with dry-clean- ing prices in Ann Arbor. f Opinion To insure the "development of a maturity in the student body," the session passed a resolution stating that "the University in no way use its official power to place restrictions upon student expression." Confidence was expressed in the Board in Control of Student Publica- tions for its efforts to preserve free- dom of the press on the campus. The Board was urged to find some other devices than the present one of re- quiring {members of the Daily staff to sign editorials, in order to indicate that the editorial opinions do not pur- port to represent the views of the fac- ulty, the administration of the Board. Disapproval was voiced at the University's .requiring "any prospec- tive student to state his personal be- liefs" asda prerequisite to entering the University. Leisure Time Orientation periods for transfer students should be compulsory and orientation material should contain detailed information on extra-cur- ricular activities, the Parley decided. Women's residences should be open to men visitors until the regular clos- ing hours. A marriage relations course to deal with child psychology, home making,' budgeting, intellectual pursuits, per- sonality adjustments, sex techniques and the biological aspects of-. sex was approved. The course, for upper- classmen, should be given for credit and in small groups, if possible, it was decided. En glish-Italian Pact Endorsed [By' Commons Hitler And Mussolii Meet In Rome To Symbolize Fascist Understanding (Continued from Page 1) many in his long speecdi, but he left little doubt that with the Italian agreement in his pocket he would seek one with Germany at the opportune moment in his quest for a general European settlement. Old Friends Meet ROME, May 2.-U(P)-Italy's square- jawed Duce 'and greater Germany's determined Fuehrer will meet tomor- row and symbolize their unity. It will be the third meeting of these European pace-setters in the eventful working partnership. While Italy prepared a spectacular welcome for the Nazi le-ader, atten- tion was focussed on what new events in Europe Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler might plan in the few hours for private talks they will have in the crowded program. Officially Hitler's visit among the ruins of Imperial Rome, dressed up in his honor, is heralded as a demon- stration that fascism and national- socialism are united in effort and that attempts to becloud this unity are destimed to 'fail. It follows Hitler's annexation of Austria and the Anglo-Italian agree- ment of April 16 for settling issues between Britain and Italy. ATTEND DINNER T. Hawley Tapping and Robert O. Morgan of the Alumni Association last night attended the Spring Ban-. quet of the University of Michigan Club of Redford. A bitter and perhaps bloody labor war was foreshadowed when Wil- liam Green, President of the American Federation' of Labor, presented a chaiter at Washington to Joe Ozanic, (left), president of a new miners' union sponsored by the Federation as a rival to John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers. University Indicted For Poor Grading And Educational Waste Psychological Research Shows That Grades May Differ With Marker (Continued from Page 1) not merely chance but are almost un- avoidable, Kleefus said. "Essay questions are popular with teachers because they are easily made up, but covering a wide range the stu- dent is often bewildered as to just what is wanted. And this is not strange because in many cases the in- structor is not certain either." Oftentimes he has no key points up- on which to base his grades, Kleefus declared, but is influenced by a rele- vantpoint made in one paper and looks for that point ,on other 'blue- books. He is influenced by the weath- er, his health, the number of papers still left to read, the handwriting, and his personal knowledge of the student. It is not necessary to emphasize the seriousness of these flaws in exam- ination marking, Kleefuss declared. "Too few students realize that they are not fixed qunatities handed down from above but subject to very human errors." Despite the fact that figures quoted are applicable to the majority of high school and college methods of grad-' ing, experimentation in several schools, notably Chicago, is pointing the way to the reduction of such grotesque inaccuracies, according to Kleefus. Largely these attempts re- volve around the objective or short answer test. Proponents of the essay type exam claim that broad questions test ability of the student to coordinate material. Investigation indicates, however, that while this may be ideally so, few students are capable of organization under the emotional stress which an important examination generates.' As a result the common philosophy that the more your can manage to get in an exam on almost any subject, provided it is in English, is shown to be nearly justified. Grades have to be judged on facts not on organiza- tion, Kleefus declared. Progressive Club Meets Thursday To Plan Action A post-parley meeting of the Pro- gressive Club will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday in Lane Hall to draw up resolutions and plan for action of the club on subjects discussed at the Spring Parley Saturday and Sun- day'. A committee representing the club was present at each of the five sec- tions, of the Parley and will present reports and recommended resolutions at the Thursday meeting. Report Reveals That 690 Students Left Because Of Unknown Reasons (Continued from Page 1-) sidered as the cause of withdrawal m the case of 336 students were sent home, Mr. Williams believes. This group scored well below 1.0 or C in scholastic averages. The other 690 students who either transferred to other units on campus or who left the college and are un- accounted for in the report, were found to have maintained, on the average, point-hour ratios well above C. Since almost two thirds of the 1,- 026 students eliminated entered from high school, the report recommends "a more detailed study seeking the causes of their withdrawal from col- lege." There was little information, however, to show that the method of entrance has any effect on this prob- lem of elimination. In the group of 336 students who were sent horne, 288 of them had earned more than 60 hours of work but were not admitted to a field of concentration because they could not present a satisfactory point-hour ratio. Outside of the group that was sent home, only 22 students in the pre- concentration stage had averages be- low C at the time of departure. According to the report, age and residence within or without the State of Michigan'fhave little effect upon the elimination of students from col- lege. The average age for the entire group was 21.48. The evidence regarding the possible health factor shows no other discrep- ancy between the eliminated and un- eliminated groups than a slightly greater number of colds and reported at the Health Service for the elimi- nated group, which the report dis- misses as not having any real bear- ing on the problem. The report is incomplete in that it "has completely overlooked the stu- dents' reason for withdrawing or failing to return," Mr. Williams says. "From the standpoint of the student however, those who fail to return may have made a very vise choice," he suggests. Every form of dancing. Open 10 to 10.
