a convenient time to take up this other
matter.
Another "special order" is to be pre-
sented at the faculty meeting tonight,
from the administrative board of the
Graduate School. It proposes the
adoption of a resolution that members
of the various departments of the Uni-
versity, of Senate rank, be discour-
aged from presenting themselves for

Unkind Expression in German Gram-

(The Daily assumes no responsibility

muications.)
Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
"Pig-tailed Chinese opium" is the
unkind expression used by Paul V.
Bacon in his German grammar which
was recommended by the University
as a text-book for the engineering de-
partment. The expression and there-
fore the course, insults the poor Chin-
ese students. The protestant and all
the Chinese students in the class felt
greatly insulted therefore may we
humbly appeal to the faculty members
that the course is doing injustice to
the Chinese students and also to the
University of Michigan which is well
known for the hospitality shown to
us? ,

Freshman Club Will Abbreviate Trous-
ers and Eat a Simplified Banquet
(The Daily assumes no responsibility
for sentiments expressed in com-

Editor,- The Michigan Daily:-
In view of the Daily's proposed
adoption of simplified spelling this
seems to be the proper time to call
attention to an organization recently
formed in the Freshman class under,
the name of the Simplified Trousers
Board. The members in joining pledge
themselves to cut three inches from
the bottom of each trousers' leg.. The
proceeds from the sale of the cloth
thus saved are put into a commonR
fund, which is to be devoted at the
end of the year to a simplified ban-
quet. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, it is said,
has given his enthusiastic support to
the idea and will present each member
with a Scottish kilt. E. B. G.

DAILY WILL TAKEI~
A STRAW BALLOT
Campus Choice for President
Is To be Determined
In This Manner
SIGNATURE MUST BE ON BALLOTS
In view of the political mutterings
that are coming from all parts of the
country, the Michigan Daily has de-
cided to try to find the choice of the
student body for a national president
by means of a straw vote.
This vote will be open to all readers
of the Daily and the first ballot will
be published in the issue of Saturday,
February 17. The ballots will provide
three candidates on the Democratic
and Republican tickets, and a fourth
place will be left blank under each of
the party heads, so that any may write
a candidate if he does not happen
to be one of the Daily's choices.
Ballot boxes will be placed in the
engineering and law buildings and in
the General Library. The votes may
be placed in these, or else given to
any member of the Daily staff. It is
planned to publish the ballots in three
issues of the paper that everyone may
have the opportunity of casting a vote.
Both nen and women may cast the
ballots. The Daily contest bars no
one, but it is requested that but one
ballot be cast by each person. To fa-
cilitate this, a place will be left upon
each ballot for signing the voter's
name, and no ballot will be counted,
that has no signature.
Returns of the straw vote will be
published from day to day in the col-
umns of the Daily. The date of the
closing of the balloting will be an-
nounced later.

well as the natural beauties of the b
West Indian island of Hayti, Dr. Henri t

knowledge of the primitive ways of the h

Tribune to Describe
Local Affairs
MANY SUBJECTS TO BE TREATED.

with various phases of University of
Michigan life will be published shortly

for women, college dramatics, the uni-
versity library, and experimentation
by Dr. J. F. Shepherd. The local news
bureau-has been assured that the Sun-
day magazine will hereafter feature
university news matter as much as
