R. 0. signs if this keeps up," said Mana-1 ger Homer Heath, of the Union, last evening, while the seat sale for "The4 Awakened Rameses" was at its height. "Without a doubt this has been the greatest sale ever held in the- history of Union operas." As early as eleven o'clock yesterday morning a long line was stretched from the Whitney theater door along Main street. Despite the dribbling rain which continued during the great- er part of the afternoon and evening it was necessary to delay the hour ap- pointed for closing the sale. Purchases of from'eighteen to thirty- six seats were not uncommon, many finding it more convenient to pay a "waiter" than to do the waiting taem- selves. The sale to the general public will begin Monday morning at 9 o'clock at the Whitney theater box office. "While the sale so far has been far beyond our expectations," said Chair- man Cox last night, "we want it ex- pressly understood that there are still plenty of good seats left. Those who come Monday will still have an ex- cellent choice." TICKETS FOR CERCLE COURSE WILL faO AiON SALE TODAY. CHICAGO ALUMNI OPPOSE RETURN MaJority of Grads are not in Favor of Wolverines Re- Entering Conference. RUMORS CAME FROM 1 ALUMNUS. The question of Michigan's return to the conference has spread farther than the campus and is now dividing the Chicago Alumni. Numerous press dispatches have been sent out from that city stating that the alumni wish- ed the return of Michigan and that steps were being taken to this end. It was also reported that Dr. Eisenhart,' an alumnus from there, appeared be- fore the conference meeting and asked what would be necessary for Michi- gan's return. But there is another side to the story. While it is true that there are certain alumni who wish Michigan back, this is not the general feeling of the alumni association of that city. When Dr. Eisenhart appeared before the commit- tee, he did so entirely on his own in- itiative and without the consent or knowledge of the association so that this action has no significaice what- soever. Immediately following his ac- TEAIM VISITS DETROIT TONIGHT TO ATTEND FOOTBALL SMOKER. The special car which will bear the Michigan p'arty to Detroit for the smok- er this evening will be attached to the 4:50 M. C. train. The Michigan party will include all players who made the Nebraska trip with the addition of Cooper and C. E. Wyman. The other to be held at the University Club at sudents whomake tie trip will have the benefit of the special rates, pre- viously-announced. The banquet which is to be tendered the Michigan team is to be held at the University club at 6 o'clock, after which an adjournment- will be taken to Harmonie hall whlere the smoker is to be held. MINNESOTA MAY LEAVE FOLD. Reports state That Gophers are Likely To Quit Conference, Minnesota's fight with the conference in regard to the summer baseball rule has suddenly taken a new turn that may result in the severence of connec- tions between Chicago and Minnesota. At least such is the tenor of dispatches from the Maroon camp and backed up by the word of Stagg. The Chicago authorities have become peeved at Minnesota's independent at- titude and have determined to take an aggressive hand in the question. Al- though he would not state definitely, Coach Stagg intimated that the Go- phers may be dropped and Cornell sub-j r ARTHUR He Took Bi and Cc can in C got here nothing had been 'd the engineering building excavation and that was >w we are putting in thej ; for the engineering labo- the power house.

Tickets for the Cercle Francais course of lectures and entertainments will be placed in the hands of members of the French faculty and active mem- bers of the Cercle today. A series of ten numbers is featured on the course, and all numbers will be open to hold- ers bf the tickets. To secure these tickets and associate memberships in the Cercle, the price is 50 cents for students and for others $1.00. An ad- ded feature of this year's ticket is that the program of the series has been printed on the. reverse side of the tick-j et. The initial lecture on the course will be given by Prof. Moritz Levi on De- cember 14th, in Tappan Hall at 5:00 o'clock. The subject of his talk, which will be given in French, is "Le Roman- tisme Francais." Law Students Must Choose Electives. A new ruling has been introduced into the law department requiring all members of the second and third year classes to cloose their electives for next semester on or before Friday, De- cember 15. Each student must call at the clerk's office and fill out a sep- arate card for each elective. Students will be allowed to change elections at any time before February 1. without consulting anyone, and that his1 interference has been ignored by the association. It also informed him of the appointment of the committee and stated that as soon as any action was taken the authorities here would be' notified. In as much as the newspaperE articles concerning the~matter rely al- most entirely upon the statements of Dr. Eisenstaedt, it is evident that it' is not the attitude of the Chicago asso- ciation. There are alumni who oppose the ,return and any report of activity on the ,question is doubtful unless coming direct from the recently ap- pointed committees. Library to Have New Card Catalogue. Forty thousand catalogue cards from the Royal Library of Berlin, which the University library has been receiving for a number of years, are to be filed in a special cabinet at the libiary where they will be useful for biblio- graphical reference. On account of certain differences in the style of en- try between these foreign cards and those issued by the Library of Con- gress and the John Crerar Library, the filing of the Berlin cards has been de- layed. Professor' Cross Lectures on Velice., "Venice, Its Past and Its Present," was the subject of a lecture by Profes- sor Herbert Cross of the fine arts fac- ulty to the Women's League yesterday afternoon. The lecture was illustrated by slides, many of which were taken by Professor Cross himself. The lec- ture was well attended. Gophers may bolt the conference and swing with Michigan. The question will probably be decided at the Janu- ary meeting of the conference in which several big matters will come up. Will Irwin Speaks to Alumni. Will Irwin, formerly of Collier's Weekly, and one of the most noted story tellers in the United States, gave some untold tales at a smoker held last evening, by the University of Michigan Club of New York City. Many other lively speeches were made by the old "grads," and Michigan songs were furnished by the Universi- ty Glee Club, of New York. The entire evening was spent in goodold Michi- gan style. SopIt Lit Dance Postponed. Owing to the ruling of the faculty that no underclass parties stall be giv- en in Barbour gym on a week night, the soph lit dance, planned for Tues- day evening, -December 12, has been postponed indefinitely. It is the inten- tion of the social committee of the class to arrange a danc'e before the holiday vacation. Prominent Alumna Visits Ann Arbor. Miss C. E.
