PRICE FIVE HUGHES SUPPORTS RIGHT TO TRAVEL AGAINST HECKLER TELLS QUESTIONER HE FAVORS MAINTENANCE OF ALL RIGHTS URGES FIRMNESS OF POLICY Wants America "Standing for Its Own Rights," Asking Only for Justice By rercy Arnold (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Columbus, Ind., Oct. 31.-Heckled by a spectator who said he was a "personal admirer," Governor Hughes today declared, in answer to a qu'es- tion of whether he would favor or op- pose an embargo against shipment of munitions, or the passage of the Mc- Lemore ,resolution: "I am in favor of the maintenance of every right, including the right to travel and the right of shipment. It is a very important right that we have as-a neutral nation, and it is very im- portant at this time. When the great war is raging we should vindicate neutral rights and maintain the in- tegrity of international law. "To my mind it is a very thoughtless policy that would surrender any of these important rights because of any sentimental consideration, when we have the vast necessity of neutral com- merce, and the importance of the rights of neutralsrto consider, with re- spect to the future of the United States. "What we want is an America stand- ing for its own rights, facing the world with a sense of justice, asking naught but that to which it is entitled. We need an America four squared to the world, commending itself by the firmness and consistency of its policy, vindicating the principles of interna- tional law, and showing itself to all as the champion of the rights of neu- tras. DISCOVER COAL IN ARGENTINA Extensive 1)eposits Found in Province of San Juan; Quality Good (By United Press.)

Figures Dance at Band Boost That most astute lexicographer,.Mr. Noah Webster, has painstakingly set forth 17 definitions of the word "fig- ure," everyone of which can be made to apply to the act of Helen Champion and company, "Algebraic Antics," which. holds one of the leading posi- tions on the program of the Band Boost.M Thirteen women, attired in appro- priate costumes and bearing huge fig- ures go through .the mazes of an aesthetic dance and in so doing solve a problem in simultaneous equation.

Bogota, Oct. 31.-Newspaper com- ment from the whole of Colombia shows the entire country agreed on approval of the Cartagena chamber of commerce's rejection of the United Fruit gompany's request for permis- sion to establish a health station on the coast of Bolivar province, inde- pendently of those maintained by the Colombian government. The company, in a diplomatic note to Bolivar state, represented that the Panama health authorities persist in quarantining United Fruit steamships from Colombian ports, regardless of the clean bills granted by the Colom- bian officials. It was for this reason that the concern professed to want a Colombian station presided over by medical experts from the United States. The Colombian view is that the re- quest was part of a "pin prick" policy by the United Fruit company, due to the fact that Colombian capital has re- cently put two steamships in commis- sion on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific coast in competition with the United Fruit liners. It is stated also that the United Fruit company has made a 40 per cent reduction in rates to meet this competition. Wisconsin Plans Union Building Madison, Wis., Oct. 31.-A movement is being started to provide a union building for University of Wisconsin students and alumni. MICHGANWOMEN POSSESSFREEDOM National Y. W. C. A. Student Secretary Believes Independent Spirit Is Striking Quality UNIVERSITY IS SELF-CENTERED "Intellectual freedom is a marked characteristic of the women of this University," said Miss Leslie Blanch- ard, the national student secretary of the Y. W. C. A., to a representative of The Daily yesterday. "It- is a free- dom which might easily develop into an excess of self-assertiveness in some! cases. The independent spirit is cer- tainly the most striking squality of! Michigan women as a whole." In speaking of her investigation of the problems of student associations in state universities, Miss Blanchard fur- ther observed, "Michigan is an ex- tremely self-centered school, almost oblivious of the existence of the other middle western colleges. This state of affairs may probably be attributed to the venerable position which Michi- gan enjoys, to her inability to forget that she was once the only great uni- versity west of the Alleghanies, and also, perhaps, to her lack of inter- course, athletic and otherwise, with her neighbors to the west." Miss Blanchard, who is visiting Ann Arbor for the purpose of studying the Y. W. C. A. here as compared with those of other state universities, rep- resents the national board of the as- sociation with headquarters in New York. As a graduate of Leland Stan- ford Jr. University, she is familiar with conditions in the far west and is now investigating the group of col- leges to which Michigan belongs.

Charts of all sanitary ar- rangements in the city have been pre- pared and are accessible at any time for reference."
