FIRST MEETING Detroit women are becoming inter- ested in the campaign for funds for the women's residence halls that is be- ing conducted by the Women's League. At a meeting of the College Club of that city held Monday afternoon, a commit- tee was appointed to investigate the matter and also to confer with the women alumni in Detroit about rais. ing money for the project. As yet the League has not solicited any funds from the women of Detroit nor prepared to make a canvass of the alumni. In fact the matter has been left entirely to the College Club committee. Dean Jordan, accompa- nied by several of the faculty ladies and senior girls were present at the Monday meeting. They spoke about the need of a residence hall for the university girls and the appointment of the committee was the result of their plea.

Editor, The Michigan Daily: Any Alumnus, loyal to Michigan and her traditions, who reads the editorial in the October eighth issue of the Dai- ly, and headed "Our Alma Mater," could not fail to commend you for the opinion therein expressed I refer par- ticularly to your statement, "the 'Yel- low and Blue' is more than a song; it is the voice of thousands of alumni Takes up Matter of Cheer Leaders and Class Elections Proceeds Started n Court to Obtain Location for New Auditorium NEW MEMBERS SWORN INjPRICE ASKED IS EXHORBITANT. to see the ball that ch made the grade. the session~ for all ex- ring men, but they were ;nals then and kept at sn't safe to run around hout a chaperone. ine showed up well and :'s play to handle the s the way they were i has them going better they are getting team .s showed up well yes- is absence because of a the side lines and the cided that he has a se- the muscles of his left ity backfield that was nage had little chance tself except on the de- nen showed up well at game. Barton at end game and intercepted d passes and on side justified the coach's g him on the extremity the reserves play time e they were well start- joining us in proudly proclaiming our love for our Alma Mater." That idea of the linking of the past and the pres- ent with the future and the essential unity of all three in our Alma Mater cannot be too strongly expressed. It has been my good fortune to have revisited Michigan twice since my graduation and I have looked for the old customs and songs that I knew and which thousands of Michigan men before me have known. In all cases I did not find these things and, in many cases, those that I did find had, in the search for novelty, been changed al- most beyond recognition. I would not be understood as standing against progress and modern spirit but sure- ly our songs and traditions may re- main sacred. It is those things that make up a large part of what we call Michigan Spirit; it is in those things that some of our dearest memories are enshrined, and, for those reasons, and because we Alumni, representing the past, desire to feel our unity with the present and the future, I plead that we may seek to retain our traditions. Above all things, do not let us lose the custom of singing the "Yellow and Blue" between halves. For years, on countless fields and in encouragement of countless gridiron warriors, Michi- gan's sons have stood between halves while, with bared heads and with hearts full of loyalty, they have given expression to their loyalty, they have given expression to their devotion to their Alma Mater in the words of that glorious old song. As I write I see the pictures of those mellow autumn afternoons, the team on the field, and the hundreds of loyal Sons of Michi- gan paying their homage to their Alma Mater in the manner hallowed by tra- dition and endeared to thousands of us by tender memories. It is a wonder- ful picture and let us not introduce into that picture a new and unknown color. Sincerely yours for Alma Mater, RUSSELL C. BURTON, '08. Austin, Texas. In addition to plans for the inter- class rush which occurs Saturday, the Student Council at its session last night, also took up' the matter of stu- dent cheer leaders and the rules to govern the coming class elctions. The eighteen new members of the Council. he result of the elections Monday were sworn in, bringing the total member- ship up to the maximum provided for in the Council constitution. A committee, composed of represen- tatives from the various departments, was appointed for the purpose of de- vising plans to meet the dearth of' cheer leaders that seems to prevail this fall. Just what scheme will be'in- augurated will be made known after the committee has held its meeting this evening. This question was also discussed yesterday at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Athletic association, at which time it was de- cided that several men should be given try-outs at today's game between the Varsity and the Reserves. Munson, Hannavan, and Doran are the probable candidates. It is hoped by the Coun- cil that by working in harmony with the Association, a solution of the dif- ficulty will be found. The interclass constitution being still in the hands of the non athletic committee for ratification, it was de, cided to ask those classes whether or not it would be agreeable for them to hold them under the clause of the pro- posed uniform constitution that gov- erns class elections, the same having met with the approval of the non ath- letic committee. Councilmen were ap- pointed for the purpose of laying the matter before each class. "Chick" Lathers Takes a Bride. "Chick" Lathers, the former Michi- gan third baseman and later a Detroit player, will be married tonight in Grand Rapids. His bride is Miss Ruth Richmond, of that city, and the mares riage is the culmination of a romance started while Lathers was in college. Condemnation proceedings were started yesterday by Attorney-general Kuhn, acting for the Regents of the university, against Zachariah and Ida York, who own the lot on South Thay- er street, north of the Winchell prop- erty upon which the new Arthur Hill auditorium will be erected. The lot is said tq be held at an exhorbitant price, several times the amount asked by the owners before they heard that the university wanted the property. The Regents decided to use the power of eminent domain which was conferr- ed upon the university by the new con- stitution. The attorney-general asked that three commissioners be appointed to determine the value of the property. This price, if approved by the court, will have to be accepted by the owners. This is the first time that the univer- sity has had to resort to such meas- ures in order to obtain property. DEAN COOLEY RETURNS FROM EASTERN JOURNEY. Dean Mortimer E. Cooley of the En- gineering department returned yester- da afternoon, from a short trip east. On last Thursday he spoke at Atlantic City, before the Eelectric Railway Ac- countants' Association on the subject of "Overhead Charges." "The electri- cal manufacturers' exhibit, on Young's $1,000,000 pier is one of the most not- able exhibits of its kind ever given in this country, and was well worth the trip to see," said Prof. Cooley. Prof. Cooley also saw the Curtis Hy- dro-aeroplane in action and took some pictures of it, while it was skim- ming over the water and after it had sailed into the air. Since last Friday he has been in Washington attending a meeting of the Block Signal and Chain Control Board, of which he is a member. The state university of Iowa will have a new physics building, costing $300,000. Engineering Society to Have Smoker. Plans are practically complete for the first smoker of the year of the En- gineering Society to be given in the society rooms next Saturday evening. The smoker is a free-for-all to mem- bers of the engineering department. The committee on arrangements will spring some features that promise to be good. CHANGES MADE IN HOMES OF FRATERNAL ORDERS. By the end of°this school year sev- eral changes will be completed in the appearances and locations of num- erous houses belonging to fraternal organizations about town. A few such changes have already.been made and others will follow in the course of a few months. The Chi Psi frater- nity house is being altered within on account of a fire a week ago Monday which damaged several rooms. The Delta Gamma sorority house on the corner of Hill and Church streets is nearly completed The members of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity have changed their residence to their new- ly purchased house at 1443 Washte- naw Avenue and will begin extensive alterations and additions at once. Prof. Richard Hudson sold his home at 1023 Oakland Avenue to the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and the latter has taken up its habitat there. The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house on Washtenaw avenue will be remodel- ed in the spring. A new building will soon be in course of erection at the present location of the Sigma Chi house on State street. The old house will be torn down in November. The Gamma Phi Beta sorority will build this year on South University avenue. Dr. Kauffman To Talk on Mushrooms. Dr. C. H.
