Model Senate
To Be Chosen
By P.R.Ballot
Committee Recommends
Limiting Discussion On
National,_World Affairs
Scammon To Head
P.R. Study Group
Election by proportional represen-
tation was unanimously accepted as
the means of choosing members of
the proposed Student Model Senate,
at a meeting of the executive organiz-
ing committee of the Senate yesterday
in the League.
At the same time, the committee
voted to recommend, to the Senate
that it limit its discussion to national
and international affairs as they af-
fect students as residents of the
United States.
Election By States Replaced
The system of proportional repre-
sentation will replace election of
members of the Senate by states, as
previously recommended in first pro-
posals for the organization. A com-
mittee to investigate the most appro-
priate form of "P.R." for the campus
election was organized and asked to
report its recommendations at the
next meeting of the committee.
Richard M. Scammon, will be chair-
man of the committee, with other
members including Virginia Krieghoff,
'38, secretary, Hope Hartwig, '38, Wil-
liam Jewell, '38, Tuure Tenander, '38,
and Phil Westbrook, '40. Professors
James K. Pollock and Arthur W. Bro-
make of the political science depart-
ment will be asked to take part on
the committee.
Non-Citizens Included
By expressly providing for the dis-
cussion of world affairs as they affect
students as "residents" of the United
States, the committee proposes to in-
clude an opportunity for partici-
pation by non-citizen students of the
campus in the activities of the Senate.
With selection of Senate members by
"P.R.," it is hoped that these mem-
bers of the student body will avail
themselves of this opportunity for
representation.
Martirt' DWoklki s, :10, chahman
of the executive committee, was voted
power to call or appoint any commit-
tee to take care of necessary business
before the next meeting of the execu-
tive committee. This meeting will be
on January 11, following the vacation.
Medical Group
Holds Election
Dr. LaFever Is Installed
As President For Year
Dr. Sidney L. LaFever was installed
as president succeeding Dr. Reed M.
Nesbit of the University Hospital at
the annual election of officers of the
Washtenaw County Medical Society
held last night in the Union.
Dr. LaFever was elected a year ago,
but did not take office until last night
because of the society's new practice
of electing its president a year in ad-
vance.
Other officers who were elected were
Dr. John W, Kemer, who will be-
come president next December; Dr.
William M. Brace, secretary-treas-
urer; Dr. Leo Knoll, member of the
board of censors; and Dr. John Wes-
singer and Dr. Dean Myers, delegates
to the State Medical Society.
Dr. Walter 0. Maddock of the Uni-
versity Hospital gave the principal
address on "Intestinal Obstruction."

Electrical Engineering Students
To Study Room Lighting Systems
Fifty To Conduct Survey
Of Illumination Using
Photometers, Cameras
By ROY SIZEMORE
Lighting conditions in student
rooms will again be subjected to thor-
ough-going technical tests during the
next month when approximately 50
'members of Prof. H. H. Higbie's Elec-
trical Engineering 7 and 7A classes
will survey their own rooms as part
of their regular work in this course.
Examination of the rooms will be
made using some type of photometer
and cameras will be employed in
many cases. Light intensities in vari-
ous parts of the room will be meas-
ured, tabulated and compared. Photo-
graphs will be used to indicate both
the general effects of the lighting sys-
tem and to reveal the presence of
glare.
Reports from previous years show
that the majority of rooms thus sur-
veyed have harmful lighting arrange-
ments. One report goes as far as
to say that bad conditions exist in 90
per cent of the rooms on this campus.
Reports condemning the lighting
systems, for the most part, stressed
the difficulty in getting the landladies
to cooperate in their efforts to im-
prove the illumination in the rooms.
In some cases, landladies were said to
have refused to allow the installation
of lights of only slightly higher watt-
age even if the student bore the cost
of buying the new fixtures.
In general the opinion was ex-
pressed that the improvements that
were made would not remain there
after the present occupants left.
Lighting conditions were so bad in
nni rnm crvrvd that the nthn
mpossible to study more than an
'our at a time.
A study of the surveys from year
o year reveals that the lighting sys-
tems show little improvement in spite
of the emphasis which has been placed
on good lighting in recent years.
The story of how difficult it is to
get landladies to cooperate in improv-
ing the illumination is told in another
report. The elimination of an espe-
cially bad glare resulting from an
overhead luminare was found to be
advisable. The landlady, however,
refused to do anything about the sit-
uation. The engineering student, be-
ing familiar with her likes and 'dis-
likes, knew that she had a decided
aversion to untidiness.
Covering of the luminare at fault
with a towel served to reduce the
glare somewhat. This was done and
the window shade left open so that
the device would be visible from the
street and consequently visible to the
landlady when she came. The un-
tidy appearance caused the landlady
to help in improving thc iighting ar-
rangements of the room.

Gib James Scores Two
Goals And Three Assists
In Season's 3rd Victory
Fabello And Allen
Are Slightly Injured
By BEN MOORSTEIN
It was all Gib James last night at
the Coliseum. Two goals and three
assists by the Michigan hockey team's
left winger gave the Wolverines their
easiest victory of the season as they
routed McMaster University by the
shutout score of 5-0.
The five points garnered by Gib
boosts his four game total to 11
points, seven goals and four assists.
At no time during the game was
the Michigan team bothered in the
least by either the McMaster offense'
or defense. Michigan literally skated
circles around the visitors' entire
team.
Show Power
The Maize and Blue showed that'
when it wants to it can turn on its
power play to good advantage, some-
thing it didn't do in its previous
games. The Michigan team as a
whole, however, was short of the level
it set against Brantford Saturday
night.
The tilt was interrupted at one
stage by a quickly broken up fight be-
tween Bucko Smith, hot-headed Var-

Police Arrest
UAW Pickets
90 Seized At Ford Plant
In Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 14.-(I)-Po-
lice reported the arrest of 90 pickets
throughout today at the Ford Motor
Co. assembly plant where United Au-
tomobile Workers of America have
called a strike. Union leaders said
"a lot more than that" were arrested,
"we don't know how many."
The pickets, including nine women,
were -charged with disturbing the
peace. Police director Otto P. Hig-
gins issued orders to arrest all pick-
ets. He said he agreed with the con-k
tention of Ford officials that there is
no strike.
Forty-nine pickets were arrested
last week and released on personal
bond. Workers left the plant's police
guarded gates tonight without inci-
dent. Company officials said work
progressed as usual.

Famous Chemist
To Lecture Here
Dr. Isaac Maurits Kolthoff, head
of the chemistry department at the
University of Minnesota, will deliverl
a lecture at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in
Room 303 of the Chemistry Building
under the sponsorship of the Amer-
ican Chemical Society. Dr. Kolthoff's
subject will be "Aging of Crystalline
Precipitates."
Dr. Kolthoff, who has been at Min-
nesota since 1927, is recognized as
one of the foremost analytical chem--
ists in the country and has written
numerous works on the subject. He
is a member of many scientific so-
cieties and has been president of the

cipitated the strike, but the meeting
broke up without a settlement.
Observers outside the meeting place
said it was apparently "stormy," judg-
ing by sounds coming through the
doors. Half an hour after the meet-
ing started, Dr. Ganong bolted out,
saying "Dr. Cole won't budge an
inch."
The student "strike committee"I
soon after announced the strike would
be continued indefinitely and that
the campus buildings would be pick-
eted tomorrow. Picketing today kept
students and faculty alike from the
buildings and no classes were held.
Dr. Cole said Dr. Ganong was dis-
rmissed because he was not a United
States citizen and because the college
needed a "more versatile" instructor
in economics. Dr. Ganong is a native
of Nova Scotia.

Strongly Worded Message
Virtually Demands 'Open
Door' Be Kept In China
Jap Apology Pledges
Attack Indemnity
The United States, in a strong,
formal note that covered far more
than the Panay incident, virtually
demanded Japanese pledges yester-
day that China's door would stay
open and 'that all Americans and
American interests in China would be
free from "unlawful interference."
The message, presented by Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull, was under-
stood to refer to the numerous cases
which have led to U.S. protests,
among them the Japanese taking
over the Chinese customs at Shang-
hai, in addition to the Panay inci-
dent.
Meanwhile the fourth known for-
eign death in the sinking of the U.S.
gunboat Panay and destruction of
three Standard Oil Co. vessels by
Japanese air bombs was discovered.
American, British and Japanese res-
cuers were struggling against ob-
stacles yesterday to return the 75
survivors to Shanghai,
In accoraance with the Hull state-
ment, Admiral Harry E. Yarnell,
commander of the United States fleet
in Chinese waters, rejected ani i-
direct Japanese suggestion that
American gunboats be withdrawn
from the area of hostilities on the
Yangtze.
Hull's note asked Japan for "a for-
mally recorded expression of regret"
for the sinking of the gunboat Pa-
nay; "complete and comprehensive
indemnifications"; and "an assurance
that definite and specific steps have
been taken which will insure that
hereafter American nationals' inter-
ests and property in China will not be
subjected to attack by Japanese
armed forces or unlawful interference
by any Japanese authorities or forces
whatsoever."
This last phrase-"or unlawful in-
terference by any Japanese authori-
ties or forces whatsoever"-was re-
garded at the state department as
highly significant. It was termed a
reaffirmation of the principle of the
open door.
The message was received by For-
eign Minister Hirota after Japan
had dispatched a note giving apolo-
gies arid assurances. The latter docu-
ment mentioned that Hirota. already
had~ asked United States Ambassador
Joseph C. Grew to "transmit to the
United States Government apologies
from the Japanese Government," so
that Japan has already apologized
twice.
Since Hull's note was handed in
later, however, it may require. a third
apology.
Additional Japanese apologes were
being made to Britain because of the
bombing of British boats on the
Yangtze and to Japan's new anti-
Communist ally, Italy, because of the
killing of the Italian Journalist San-
dro Sandri aboard the Panay.
Tokyo Offers Apology
TOKYO, Dec. 15.-(')-Japan to-
day offered apologies and compen-
sation for her attack on the United
States Gunboat Panay and three
steamers and safeguards for foreign-
ers even before she formally received
President Roosevelt's demands.
Japanese citizens at the same time
halted Americans in the streets of
Tokyo or called at American business
offices to express their personal sor-
row over Sunday's warplane bombing
of the vessels near Nanking.
Foreign Minister Koki Hirota sent
a note to United States Ambassador
Joseph C. Grew in which Japan:
1. Presented her "sincere apolo-
gies" for the attack;
2. Promised to make "indemnifica-
tions for all losses and deal ap-
propriately with those responsible
for the incident";
3. Announced "strict orders" had
been issued "to the authorities on
the spot with a view to preventing re-
currence of a similar incident."
Foreign Minister Hirota presented
a similar note to Sir Robert Craigie,
British ambassador to Japan, con-
cerning the Sunday bombing of the
British gunboats Bee and Ladybird.
