COMMITTEE T01WORK OUT STYLES
Michigan graduates of the future are
to have a permanent uniform insignia
as a result of the action of the Athlet-
ic Board yesterday. The button, which
has in the past been given out by the
Athletic Association, was formally
transferred to the Michigan Union with
the reservation that a Michigan button
be adopted by the Union and sold or
given to every Michigan graduate to
c .
According to the preliminary plans
that ha been formulated by t'v U-
i, lase s ,of buttons will be adopt-
ed to be en to its members during'
their resifi~ce at the university. Thy
permanent button will be only for thp
graduates and will probably be.given
toe- senio-rs who have beei members
of the ifnion for four. .years and will
probably be sold to stu'dents who have
not been union members for a nominal
sum..
T 'gan which will be followed out
in adopting the button is qpi that .has
been in use at a number of the eastern
universities, notably Princeton, with
much success. The bu-4.on will be the
same style year ;after year and will
be worn as the one distinctive mark
of a Michigan graduate.
"We will be able to give the yearly
button to members without adding any-
thing to our membership fee," said
Manager Heatl of the Union. "But
undoubtedly we will be compelled to
charge the students who do not become
members of the Union a small fee for
the graduate button.
"The Union button will be a great
aid to us in enlarging our r ember-
ship among the students. It adds
another tangible asset that we can of-
fer for membership."
The matter will be put in the hands'
of a committee to suggest styles for+
the buttons. It is not likely that the+
new order will take effect until next
year as the Athletic Association has
already issued buttons to its members.1

'ONIG tT.l
Now comes the University of Mich-
igam, tennis squad and complains of
the manner and method of choosing
the nimble artists of the net and raq-
uet who will represent the l aize and
Blue o .the courts this sprNi.. Not
t! t lo e criticism is aimed at any indi-
vidua who is entirely responsible for
h, wrong. but rather .is the system at-
acked. So far the complaint has not
ached a definite stage but is confined
to rumors and mumbling, but it may
eventually result in something.
In choosing the squad it has not
been the custom to hold an elimination
tournament or to allow a long time in
which to pick the most likely looking
men but the man'er of dropping the
candidates has een rather sudden.
Acordhg to those who seek a change
the squad consisted -of about thirty
m n a wee*.or so ago atd no'w but
a half dben remain to chase the
bouncing pellet. It is argued that a
longer time should be allowed before
the final choice is made, and that
sofine sort of a system should be had
whereby a better line could be obtain-
ed on the me'rits of the men. Capt.
Thorward could not be located to give
the other side of the controversy but
no serious rebellion is expected.
With an. idea of getting a line on
available material, a freshmen tennis
squad will be organized tonight at
Waterman gym when Capt. Thorward-
anti Dr. Lee will talk to all freshmen
candidates and endeavor to work up
enthusiasm among the yearlings.
LOC VITDIlC DANCE TI) BE

Intricate novelties and surprises are

tend. The dance will be formal. A
logarithmic dance called the slide..rule,
designed by one of the senior boiler-
makers, will be presented for the first

Michigan in the Northern Oratorical
League' Contest, to be held in Evans-
ton, Ill., on Friday evening will give
a public recital of his oration, "The
Law's Delay" in University hall to-
morrow afternoon at 4:15.
Thursday afternoon Eich, accompa-
nied by Prof. T. C. Trueblood, will
leave for Evanston, where he will meet
the representatives of the four

DEAN BATES, IN CHICAGO;
fAY VISIT DENVER ALUMNI
Dean Henry M. Bates of the law de-
partment, who attended the meeting of
alumni held in St. Louis on last Sat-
urday night is now in Chicago and
may go from there to Denver to attend
a meeting of alumni of that city, in
which case he will not return here
until the latter part of this week.
Fresh Laws Prepare for Last Dance,
Fresh laws will hold their last dance
of the year on Thursday eve, May 2,
and not on May 3 as was announced.
Tickets may be secured from Hall, Mc-
Coy, Haislip, Perry, I lagaman or Arm-
strong.
Rhetoric Instructor is Granted Leave,
Mr. Ernest P. Kuhl, instructor in the
rhetoric department, has been granted
leave of absence for one year by the
Board of Regents, and will do research
work at Harvard for his Ph.D. degree.
Mr. Kuhl graduated from Harvard in
1908.
"Mistake or misunderstanding of or,
ders between the dispatcher and the
crew of east-bound car number 109"
was the cause assigned by the coro-
ner's jury last evening in* its finding
on the recent wreck on the Detroit,
Jackson and Chicago railway, in which
two persons were killed and several
students injured. The jury recom-
mended that the company be required
to employ additional and competent
help in the dispatcher's office and
properly instruct its employees in op-
erating trains ,nd especially in taking
orders. <'
The inquest removes the likelihood
of criminal proceedings, according to
a statement made last evening by a
prominent attorney. However, suits
for damages may be instituted by par-
ties with whom the company has not
yet settled. It is expected that the
State Railway Commission will re-
quire more strict supervision of train
dispatches and additional devices for
safeguarding electric lines.
SENIOR SWING OUT DATE
TO BE DECIDED TOMORROW
Caps and Gowns Here, With the Ex.
ceptions of Engineers', and
May be had at Once.
At a meeting of all class presidents,
called for tomorrow noon at the Mich-
igan Union, the exact date of the 1912
senior swing-out will be determined.
The annual promenade was held on
May 4 last year but it is certain that
a date somewhat nearer Commence-
mnt will.be chosen this spring.
Caps and gowns for all senior class-
es, with the exception of the engineers,
have arrived and may be secured at
once. The boilermakers' garbs were
ordered from a different firm and are
expected at an early date.
Some misunderstanding in ordering
caused the homeop caps to be sentI
with white tassels, the color formerly-
used in that department. Inasmuch
as university officials recently assign-1
ed the use of the white tassel to those
possessing a high literary degree, thei
homeops will wear green tassels with
white buttons on their headgear in the
future.
