>COUNCIL RACE RESUTS IN CLOSE WINSGeneral Newsin BriefThe international disarmamentconferero e at Rome was definitelybroken off on Tuesday, after a weekof conflicting discussion. The con¬ference has accomplished nothingexcept to prove that no permanentdecisions can he reached unless cer¬tain of the nations radically reducetheir demands. Russia’s desire fora navy to equal that of Great Brit¬ain was the chief obstacle in the wayof a settlement, but in addition,Premier Mussolini has declared thathe will advocate increasing navalstrength for Italy, and this, togetherwith the non-yielding attitude onthe part of Spain and Greece, makesthe outlook for Europe disarmamentdark indeed. It is expected that theLeague will call another experts'conference after the delegates havereported to their respective govern¬ments, hut if the new council is totake any real action, it will have tothrow aside all past discussions andstart on an at least partially altru¬istic basis.* • *For the first time since the war,Russians are handling real money.The State Rank has put into cir¬culation an issue of silver coins,their value being a fraction of aruble, and the money has alreadyattained extensive circulation. Atthe same time, the government fixedarbitrary prices on nearly all staplecommodities.* • *The first day of the Ludendorff-Hittler treason trial resulted in anoratorical victory for the defense.Hittler declared that his rebellion,far from being treasonable, was anact of patriotism, and advocated“ruthless brutal fascism” as Ger¬many’s only salvation. He asertedthat Von Losow and Dictator VonKahr were associate.! .vith him inthe conspiracy, but that he alonewas responsible for the attemptedrevolution.TWENTY-FIVE OUT FORFROSH DEBATESQUADTwentyjfive aspirants for the Fresh¬man debating team, the largest in thehistory of University debating to at¬tend an opening meeting, according toR.

Everydetail of organisation and procedurewill find its place in the campus ses¬sion.Representing the dynamic Ram¬sey McDonald, Max Swiren will becalled upon to defend the policies ofthe Labor government against theattacks of the Conservative opposi¬tion, headed by Howard Schuman,the Baldwin of the session. TheConservatives indicate that ques¬tions of policy on disarmament, freetrade, recognition of Rusia, closeddiplomacy, and the present laborsituation will form the target forthe attack. A vote of no confidencewill be asked for.The Asquith Liberals, led by Jen¬sen Hedegarde, are endeavoring tohold a “balance of power” position,siding in between the Governmentand the Opposition with a leaningtowards he former.The Undergraduate Political Sci¬ence club is a new campus organiza¬tion. The Hare system of Propor¬tional Representation is used in allvoting. John Merriam is president. This Bone PileWould Rate asMah-Jong Set POISON LURKS INAPPARENTLY PUREFOOD-DR. GEIGERPlaying Mah Jongg is easy com¬pared with the task of assemblingthe countless bone fragments intothe perfect skeleton of a three-toedhorse, according to Paul C. Miller,associate curator of Walker Mu¬seum. Mr. Miller has just completedthe assembling of such a specimen.In an interview for The DailyMaroon, Mr. Miller told in detail thestory of his work.One day last summer a bundle ofrock, clay, and bones wrapped inburlap was shipped to the Universityof Chicago. Today the completeskeleton of metohippua bairdi, themost perfect specimen in existenceand the result of several months’labor, stands in Walker Museum asSpeciman 1439.The Meaohippua bairdi is an ani¬mal commonly known as a three¬toed horse. It is the ancestor ofthe modern single-hoofed horse. Thisspecimen was located in the “BadLands” of Nebraska. The skeletonis complete, down to every bonefragment, and is the only one whichfollows the original animal’s shapeexactly. It stands two feet highand three and one-half feet long.The fitting and mounting of sucha skeleton requires, of course, aknowledge of the anatomy of theseprehistoric animals. With this as astarting point, the general outline ofthe skeleton is sketched, and themounting is begun. The background(Continued on page 2)Commons to SpeakBefore Labor GroupJohn R.

C. Dins-more, purchasing agent for the Uni¬versity, and E. W. Williams, repre¬senting the fraternities, have shownthat a great saving could be affectedby the fraternities, said Dean Wil¬kins.If the information given by thevarious fraternities shows that ireasonable amount can be saved atangible plan for co-operative buy--ing will be submitted to the frater¬nities in the near future.Frosh-Soph PromTickets on SaleFrosh-Soph Prom tickets are stillobtainable, it was announced today,and may be procured at the Maroonoffice any day this week between thehours of 12 and 2.

CANDIDATE MUST APPLYSIX MONTHS BEFOREHANDScholastic Record, Testimonial of Character and Promise,and Health Certificate Requiredof ApplicantCollege Youth IsPraised, Censuredin ControversyProf. T. H. Reed of the Univer jsity of Michigan, says that fromcollege men comes the idealism of acommunity. William Allen White,in a recent editorial claims that col¬lege men are a “bunch of brass-lunged, money-spending snobs whosnub the few choice spirits that cometo college to seek out reason andfhe will of God.”Controversy as to the status of Ithe present day college youth has as¬sumed nation-wide proportions and jmany widely known editors and edu¬cators are battling over the merits ;of the University-bred man.Somebody's wrong. If the college istudent is a “brass-lunged, money- !spending "nob,” Prof. Reed’s notionof idealism is rather queer. “The.idealism of a community comes to alarge extent from the college gradu¬ates who are members of that com¬munity,” said Prof. Reed. “Thisidealism is one of the greatest fac¬tors in making the college graduatesleaders of the country, for themasses turn to the idealists for theirleaders.”Seek Solution ofIndustrial ProblemsInformal talks on subjects of vitalInterest to University women arepromised to those who attend themeeting of the National Committeeof Women’s Bureaus of OccupationFriday at 3:30 in the theatre of IdaNoyes hall, according to DorotheaPfister, chairman of the Vocationaldepartment of the Federation.This meeting will be held in con¬nection with the annual conventionof the committee now meeting inthis city.Mrs, Florence Jackson, MissEmma Hirth, and Miss Edith Stonewill speak on various phases of wo¬men’s vocational activities.

The bishop has beentrying to procure a resident Episcopalchaplain for the University, and a def¬inite announcement about the matteris expected at this meeting.“A limited number of tickets arenow being sold by members of the so¬ciety and in the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W.C. A. offices, and as these will he fewall Episcopal students interested areurged to buy early,” says CatherinaClarke, president. With the purpose of producing asuperior student body without specif¬ically limiting the number of enteringstudents, the University examiner an¬nounced yesterday a new code of re¬quirements covering the admissionof students to the University.Students from secondary schools de¬siring to enter the University next au¬tumn quarter are required to file pri-liminary papers in the office of theUniversity examiner at least six monthsbefore the date on which admissionto the Unievrsity is sought, accordingto the new admission requirements.This means that students who planto enter the University Oct. 1, 1924,are required to have their preliminarypapers in by April 1.To Produce Superior StudentsIn accordance with the action of thefaculties of the University, a copy ofwhich has been mailed to the principalof each co-operating high school, be¬ginning with the Autumn quarter ,1924,admission to the colleges will be basedupon the following requirements:1. Scholastic Record—No changefrom the present qualitative and quali¬tative requirements m‘ seccfmtarJ^Tnx/Tsubjects. '2.

Health Record—An acceptablehealth certificate. All admission cer¬tificates are tentative, pending reportof medical examination by the LTni-versity health officer.The intent is that selection shall hemade on the evidence as a whole, andnot merely upon the fulfilment of for¬mal details of requirements, and theaim to produce a superior student body.For the purpose of securing the in¬formation, to enable the University ex¬aminer to take into consideration allof these factors, a series of forms havebeen prepared.

The first was directed by thecouncil and made use of the Haresystem of preferential voting, whichaimed to break up campus politicalcombinations. The effiicency of thesystem in this respect cannot be de¬termined by a single election. Weshall be interested to hear how popular opinion will pass on the Haresystem in the Junior class electionsto the council. The second experi¬ment was conducted by Elsa Allison,election chairman, at the suggestionof Dean Wilkins.Dean Wilkins requested in Juniorchifp#^i.hatr-individuals without classtickets cast votes. These, he ex¬plained would not be counted, butwould be tabulated in order to seewhether or not a small minority,purchasers of class tickets, ex¬pressed the will of the majority. Thefigures were tabulated by Miss Alli¬son and have been turned over toThe Daily Maroon for comment.In the first place it is interestingto note that 172 votes were cast byticket holders, and 37 by non-ticketholders. More than four times asmany persons were sufficiently in¬terested in class elections to pur¬chase tickets and make their votecount! Only 37 more expressedtheir preference. The results arerather puzzling. They differ in thetwo divisions.In the women’s division, the addedvotes would have altered the results.But in the men’s election, the addedvotes would have made no differ¬ence. Had the 37 invalid vote3counted in the results, CatherineRawson would have been elected.Abraham and Laird would have con¬tinued in the lead regardless of theaddition.We may draw two conclusionsfrom the data furnished. The factthat a big majority of interestedvoters buy class tickets—172 to 37.indicates that the support of theclass comes from the first group. Ifan equal number of non-ticket hold¬ers had voted, a strong argumentfor the abolition of class ticlqetswould have been advanced. But, a3things stand, we can see no need forsuch action. The second fact indi¬cates that in the case of the men,the paid group expressed the will ofthe interested majority. If theothers dp not even care to vote forpurposes of benefiicial experiment,they are negligible as a clas. group.Ten Minutes LateBy Lawrence H.

When the whole skeleton isset the plaster of paris is surfacedand colored similar to the bones.The mesohippus bairdi was one ofsix specimens that Mr. Miller ob¬tained. He declared that the sum¬mer was exceptionally profitable,for, as he said, “one finds a worthwhile skeleton only once in a hun¬dred times." CANDIDATES MUST APPLYSIX MONTHS BEFOREHANDThe plan, which was gleaned byDon Irwin from that now in use inother Big Ten coleges, is novel here.Aside from the supreme importancethat the Cap and Gown sells well—for the annual is the oldest of thepubications at the University—thesuccess of the plan should be of in¬terest to the student body.Interest in the yearbook for thelast few issues has not been as greatas it should be. Not only are thestudents reluctant about coming outfor their pictures, and the other co¬operation the staff asks, but the in¬terest in the publications has beenlax. The new scheme should stimu¬late interest, as well as put all cam¬pus organs in closer rapport withthe student body.THIS BONE PILE WOULDRATE AS MAH JONGG SET(Continued from page 1)consists of a wire net covered w'ithplaster of paris.The bones which lie in this planeare set in; then projections, orledges are built out in the piaster tosupport other bones which do notlie in the plane of the network.

Drexel retains thirdin the league by defeating the Kellysix, 10 to5. The third game on theschedule, the Foster-Green combat,was called off on account of theVarsity game.Speedy play marked the Beecher- Greenwood tilt from the first fewminutes of play when both teamsscored a point on fouls. By placingtwo consecutive baskets K. Barrettput her sextette in the lead. Green¬wood was not able to gain andscored its single basket near the endof the second half.Although Beecher was not in tip¬top form due to shoulder injuriessuffered by E. Barrett, it kept theoff campus aggregation well incheck. The passing attack of theReecher gunrds was strong, but theforward line semed a bit weak withthe exception of K. Barrett, whoscored five baskets for her team.Baumann at jumping center on theGreenwood six displayed cleverwork at guarding the Beecher star, while Bullard played a pretty gamein the forward field in spite of thefact that she was unable to land abasket.The end of the first half wascalled in the Drexel-Kelly contestwith the score tied, 2-2, Drexelcame back strong in the second halfwith four additional baskets whileKelly piled up three points on freethrows. Keeney, Kelly guard, wasresponsible for a number of foulscalled against her team and seemedn bit rattled in the last half. Uord-land played her usual game at for¬ward for the Drexel squad and hadsplendid asistance from the othertwo forwards. Defensice play wasnot up to previous games but team¬work showed improvement. Gymnasts PolishUp for Big TenTourneyWith two meets with Northwest¬ern and Minnesota hanging fire theVarsity gymnasts have begun a pol¬ishing campaign for the all confer¬ence contest to be helft at BartlettMarch 15. The preliminary battleshave shown the weak spots andpointed out to Coach Hoffer wherethe most drill is needed and how thescoring ability of the machine canbe increased.In reviewing the powers of his ag¬gregation yesterday Hoffer broughtou+ some interesting points. He hasa wealth of material on his handsand the field is all that he can pos¬sibly handle, bringing out the bestin all the candidates. The flyingI rings is an example, where thereare four men who ail have an ex¬cellent chance to he among the threemen who will represent the Maroons1 in the final trials. Van Vactor isassured of his place but Collins,Stewart, Gregor and Paisley are allI making strong bids. They have allhad 4 chance to show lueir wares in1 competition and the issue will be indoubt till the moment of donningthe tights.On the parallel bars Marsh and( Gregor are putting up a spirited| fight, while in tumbling the teamseems to have struck a high light.Connor is a very strong man andPaisley, a sophomore, has alternated| all season in taking first placeagainst strong opponents. Chicagohas not registered a loss in thisevent during the year.Adler, among the club swinger3,is going to buck some stiff competi¬tion from Iowa and Minnesota andsince no one of the team has seenthese crowds in action he is work¬ing very hard. Marsh, as an alter¬nate, will probably not be called onbut Hoffer says that next year heought to outdo his team mate, giv¬ing Chicago a succession of swingersthat is not rivalled in the annals ofthe conference. and outclassed from the very begin¬ning. when it was plainly evident thatthe taller and heavier varsity mencould not be stopped. The Purple em¬ployed the five man defense whichwas used by Iowa, but their lack ofsize made their efforts hopeless.Maroon Weight TellsI'lie visitors had the customaryNorthwestern fight which made thegame the roughest played in Bartlettthis year. Both teams followed thehall closely and their many mixupsand dives for its possession usually re¬sulted in the larger Maroons emerg¬ing on top.During the early part of the con¬test, Northwestern ran neck and neckwith the varsity, but soon tired outand the locals ran up a large marginon them. Shortly before the closeof the second half Coach Kent sentin several substitutes who played bril¬liantly at times.Hoffman Stars for Purple"Red” Hoffman, who played thegreater part of the last period for thevisitors, appeared as the class of theiraggregation. He accounted for twofield goals and five free throws. Ker¬shaw also performed . well for theEvanston team, but was unable tostand the pace and was removedearly. He got one field goal andplayed a classy floor game.Captain Dickson, Alyea, Dugganand Weiss played their usual games.Weiss rang up four field goals duringthe first half, hut failed to score in the latter period. Dickson sunk sixringers, some of them being difficultone-hand overhead shots.Lineup and summraies:Chicago (42) Nr rthweitern (26)Dickson l.f. StegmanSmidl r.f. KershawAlyea c. JohnsonDuggan l.g.
