At a special meeting of the J-Hop committee held yesterday afternoon at the Chi Psi house, it was decided to appropriate the surplus left after paying all expenses of the hop, to the Michigan Union. This money, which will probably amount to more than $150, is to be used by the Union for some specific purpose. At the meeting it was suggested that the installation of a fire-place for the new addition now under construction would be an appropriate use for the fund, but ow- ing to the temporary nature 'of the new structure it is doubtful if the suggestion will be carried out. The adoption of a new constitution to replace the' present inadequate one was also discussed but the matter was finally laid over until the next meet- ing.
