All men must try for positions, whether members of previ- ous opera casts or not. Each tryout is urged to come prepared with a brief and appropriate selection, the reading of lengthy and serious pieces having retarded previous tryouts considera- bly. At a special meeting of the members of the graduate department yesterday afternoon, John C. Brier was elected as graduate school representative to the student council, in accordance with the council's invitation, which was extended at the last regular meet- ing of that body. The action taken is the resultO of considerable agitation. It was felt that as the members of the graduate department were not affiliated with any regular class which had council members, that it was unjust to be sub- jected to council decrees. Although there was some opposition to the movement among the graduate stu- dents, the motion that a representa- tive be elected, passed by an almost unanimous vote. Brier will represent the 230 grad- uates as a department, and not as a class, as the council's suggestion that the graduates organize, by electing regular class officers, was not adopt- ed. It was felt that the Graduate club takes the place of a regular class or- ganization. Readers Will Present Free Recital. A public recital will be given byl Prof. R. D. T. Hollister's class in in- terpretive reading at 8:00 o'clock to-{ night in room 302 north wing, Uni- versity hall. No admission will bel charged. The program will consist of 18 short popular selections. LANGDON-DAVIES I ASKS FOR PEACE, ATHLETIC TUTORS COUNSEL. 1917 MEN If numbers and enthusiasm point to anything, freshman track athletics are due for a record year. The first year track men turned out last night in greater numbers than in any other year, and were given short talks by the athletic guardians of the universi- ty. DRAMA LEAGUJE IS TO BACK .THREE SUPERIOR COMPANIES The Drama league, whose aim is to encourage better plays, has arranged to bring three productions to Ann Ar- bor this season, by guaranteeing ex- penses. George Arliss has been booked in his latest play, "Disraeli," while the Irish Players, and the Repertoire Co., from the Fine Arts Theater of Chi- cago, have also consented to come. All students desiring to get good seats at these plays may sign a list at the Union desk. There is no charge, and those sign- ing the slip will have first choice of seats. The productions will all be staged at the Whitney theater, and if- they are well supported, the Drama league will book more for next year. DANCERS BE REST Trainer "Steve" Farrell made the longest speech to the newcomers, in which he outlined the work of the in- door season, and a few ideas for pre- liminary training. Director Bartelme spoke of the schedule, which he hopes to arrange, including an indoor and an outdoor meet. Captain Kohler told the men that the work this year is to prepare them for the Varsity of the next season, and that they could be sure of the coopera- tion of Trainer Farrell and himself in this. Coach Rowe and "Pat" Crowe, Varsity track manager, also spoke. Each speaker impressed the fact on the yearlings that their first duty is to keep up their studies, and that the actual track work in the gymnasium and on the field should be only second- ary. As the freshmen left, their names and "prep" school records were col- lected, and notification will be sent out after the holidays, when the real work of conditioning will begin. A captain for the All-Fresh track team will not be elected until the season is well un- der way, probably not until the;middlel of January.1 COLLIER'S HONORS VARSITY PLAYERS BY- NEW RI Committee Compiles Complet Suggestions at Gather: Held Yesterday Afternoon.

Editor, The Michigan Daily:- Your notice of the Phi Beta Kappa meeting, to be held in Sarah Caswell Angell hall, on Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, contains several miscon- ceptions. Plainly, a meeting of any so- ciety can be open to members only. But (1), last year, at its annual gen- eral meeting, the chapter resolved to call all seniors and juniors to hear some facts about the society. (2) The purpose of this gathering is, to ex- plain the nature of the society, and to inform students just what the basis and methods of election are. (3) As a further effort to bring the society into more direct contact with the stu- dent body, the annual general meeting also resolved to make the initiation address, by a distinguished guest, open to the public. It will be held in one of the halls of the campus, and not at the banquet, as in previous years. All in- terested will be free to attend. (4) Your leader, on personality, also sug- gests misunderstanding, and I will, take occasion to refer to this question in my address on Thursday evening. ' R. M. WENLEY, President of the Michigan Chapter.' DARTMOUTH MUSICAL CLUBS DESIRE COMBINED CONCERT Word has been received from the Dartmouth musical clubs, by H. Beach Carpenter, '14, of the Glee and Man- dolin clubs, proposing that a' combin- ed concert be held at Ann Arbor next April. Michigan was forced to turn the offer down, because of a conflict with the western tour which will be taken at that time. It may be possible, however, that another date may be agreed upon, if it can be scheduled at such a time as not to interfere with the date already tentatively reserved for the musical clubs of the university The elimination process will be us- ed, and if the number remains too large after tomorrow night's weeding, a second trial will be held. Men will also be tested for singing ability, al- though there are some of the cast parts which do not require it. All music for the show must be in by Monday, and positively no compet- itive selections will be received after this date. There are several men of recognized musical ability working on the melodies, while the prelude and finalle are being composed by Willis A. Diekema, '14,. who wrote a large share of the music for "Contrarie Mary." ORVILLE WRIGHT MAY SPEAK TO AERONAUTIC STUDENTS Negotiations have been opened with Orville Wright, famous aviator, of Dayton, Ohio, in an attempt to bring him to Ann Arbor, under the auspices of the Aero club and the Engineering society, immediately after Christmas vacation. At the first meeting of the Aero club after vacation, C. S. Fliedner, eng. special, will explain the construction of the Wright air-boat, and describe the Wright factory in Dayton, the greatest of its kind in the country. DR, ANGELL AGAIN ABLE TO LECTURE For the first time since his recov- ery, President-emeritus James B. An- gell spoke at the banquet given by members of the Cosmopolitan club last night, in honor of Mr. B. N. Lang- don-Davies, secretary of the Garton Foundation of England, and Kiyo Sue Inui, '06, the Japanese peace advocate. The guests of honor and President Henry Hurwitz, of the Intercollegiate Menorah association also gave short talks at the gathering. Osborn Sends Hippopotamus Torsil The university has received the fos- sil of a Madagascar hippopotamus, sent by Chase S. Osborn, who is now traveling in that territory. A letter from the ex-governor says that he is leaving Natal,South Africa, for Ceylon, Burmah and India. SYMPHONY MUSIC CHARMS AUDIENCE A perfection of finish and detail, a delicacy of nuance and shading, char- acterized the playing of the Philadel- phia Symphony orchestra last night in Hill auditorium, under the leadership of the noted Polish conductor, Leopold Stokowski. Such ensemble has rarely, been heard in Ann Arbor before. The appreciation of the audience was evi- dent, if prolonged applause may be taken as a sign of satisfaction. Tschaikowsky's superb Fifth Sym- phony formed the central part of the program. From the melodious Andan- te, through to the stirring finale, Mr. Stokowski's men played with rare in- terpretative feeling. Equally well done were the overture and Venusberg music from "Tannbheuser"; "Wagner's3 glowing melody and vast climaxes ry ceiving sympathetic treatment.1 The soloist of the evening was Thad- deus Rich, who played a Wieniawski concerto with orchestra accompani- ment. His style was that of a concert- master rather than that of a solo play- er, who-is accustomed to conjole and humor an audience. Tonal beauty, and poetical insight were revealed in his{ playing.- IOWANS GIVE SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION OF "SCARECROW" "The United States, perhaps alone of nations, can declare that its public opinion is on the side of sane, reason- ed paciflism," said Mr. B. N. Langdon- Davies on "The Economical Waste of War" yesterday afternoon. "The moral force of America is in- valuable for our campaign in Europe, because the peace ideal in this coun-1 try is so strong, and here European affairs seem to be in perspective. "Europe is going bankrupt," contin- ued the lecturer, "and the reason is her waste expenditure. England alone spends every year $400,000,000 on ar- mament. Ten million of her 45,000,000 of people are in poverty. The burden of taxation is ever on the increase. Thatathere is no benefitfor thepeo- ple, all sane men, who think of these things, are agreed. It is the special duty of the student of the world," he added, "to solve the problem." The English peace advocate gave an ex- haustive refutation for the arguments in favor of armament. Following the lecture, the speaker was tendered a banquet by the mem- bers of the Cosmopolitan club. He was the guest of President Harry B. Hutchins at the Choral Union concert He left at 9:30 o'clock last night for Detroit. He will speak in Cleveland today. He has also consented to- be the associate editor in England of the Cosmopolitan Student, the organ of the International federation of Stu- dents, which comes to Michigan next January. Glee Club Elects Assistant Manager. Wilson Shafer, '15, was elected as- sistant business manager of the Glee and Mandolin clubs at a meeting of the executive committee of the combined clubs, held at the Union Sunday. President to Address Detroit Alumni President Harry B. Hutchins will speak tonight in the Edelweiss cafe, in Detroit, at a luncheon of the Detroit Association of Michigan Alumni. He will go to Lima, Ohio, December 16, to attend a dinner of the Michigan alum- ni of that district. Toastmasters Club to Dine at Union., Toastmasters club will hold its reg- ular monthly dinner at the Union at 6:00 o'clock tonight. Wintred Cook, '14E, will preside. Collier's Weekly, in its current is- sue, publishes an All-Western football. team, selected by E.C. Paterson. Craig, Pontius and Paterson are the Wolver- ines honored by places on the first team. Chicago also has three players on the first eleven, the remainder of the selections being distributed as fol- lows:Minnesota two, and Wisconsin, Notre Dame, and M. A. C. one each. No Michigan men are placed on the second team, although Allmendinger and Hughitt are given favorable men- tion. The first team is as follows: Player Position Institution Solon . . .........

F.-.....Notre Dame Subsequent to the investigations p taining to the objectionable featur of dancing, made by the committee late dances, the following suggestio were compiled and presented yeste day afternoon, with the view to i fluence student sentiment in favor better dancing conditions. Division One. 1. To all committees handling dan es, let it be known that vulgar dan ing will not be tolerated. What is, an what is not vulgar dancing, we shb not attempt to define. We feel that cannot be defined, and that it can 1 eliminated only by a desire on th part of the individual to.keep dancin at an unquestionable standard. 2. That only such music be procu ed that will tend to cultivate prope dancing. 3. That efforts be made to hol more afternoon and dinner dance than late evening dances. This wil eliminate some of the mid-week pa ties. 4. That members of the faculty r spond more readily to the requests chaperone dances. Division Two. 1. All mid-week dances should 1 avoided wherever possible. Where has been found impossible to holy dances on Fridays, holidays, and night preceding holidays, they shall stk not later than 12:00 o'clock midnigh 2. All dances held on Friday night and nights preceding holidays, sha stop not later than 2:Q0( o'clock, excej on the occasion of dances traditiona with societies. 3. All informal dances given in ti evening by the different classes, soc eties or other campus organization should commence at 8:00o'clock. 4. Persons requested to chaperor dances shall refuse to do so, unles such parties are conducted in accord ance with the rules adopted. Signed: ROBERT STURTEVANT, Chairma: FRANK MURPHY. J. HERBERT WILKINS, Jr. A. O. WILLIAMS. MAURICE LOHMAN. That the calling of the conventk on late dances is warranted, these tec facts are presented. The books of the Michigan Unic and Granger's show that the majoril of the evenings for each week of th semester are engaged for dances, mar of which last from 2:00 to 3:00 o'cloc in the morning. Because of the rel tively small number of women, in con parison to the number of men attend ing these dances, it was found tha frequently women average three o four dances a week. NUMERALS WILL BE AWARDED TO DESERVING SOCCER ME DATES BOOKED FOR CORNELL MICHIGAN BASEBALL GAMES Cornell's baseball team will appear on Ferry field May 13, and Michigan will play at Ithaca May 23, according to the schedule issued yesterday by the athletic authorities of the eastern institution. Last year Michigan won both games from Cornell, on May 14, defeating the Red team here 6 to 2, and on May 21, humbling Cornell at home, 5 to 3. The dates indicate that the eastern trip will come at approximately the same time this season as last. Conference Decides Not to Expand The Western Intercollegiate Confer- ence decided that it was inexpedient to enlarge that body at its recent meeting, thus disposing of the matter of admitting Nebraska and Notre Dame. Pontius Gets Mythical Tackleship.. Michigan is given a place on the All-American team, selected by Parke H. Davis, of'*the football rules com- mittee. Pontius is picked as one of the two premier tackles of this fall's teams. Members of the two literary socie- ties at the University of Iowa com- bined last week to present the "Scare- crow," by Percy Mackaye, the same production which will be given Janu- ary 16 by the Comedy club. The Io- wans, like the Michigan dramatists, experienced much difficulty in hand- ling the elaborate stage equipment de- manded by the play, but in spite of this handicap, those in charge seemed highly pleased with the result. CONTEST ATTRACTS SEVERAL ARTISTS Competeition for three prizes in the Comedy club poster contest will end at 6:00 o'clock Friday night. A dozen men have already signified their inten- tion of submitting posters, and three are now in the hands of the publicity manager of the club. With the en- trance of several of the illustrators of the Gargoyle, competition promises to be brisk. The three prize winners will be announced next Monday, at which time the selected poster will. be sent to Detroit, so that everything will be in readiness for printing im- mediately after Christmas vacation. BOAT CLUB MEN TO SMOKE AT UNION TOMORROW NIGHT The Michigan Union Boat club will hold a get-to-gether smoker at the Union, tomorrow night. G. P.

Finkenstaedt, '16E, or at the Union desk. At a meeting of the Board of Di: tors of the athletic association, M day night, it was decided to aw the members of the soccer squad v their class numerals. The men h worked hard all season, and h been successful in their ga: with outside institutions. The State Normal school at Ypsil ti held the Michigan artists to a 1 t tie in their first encounter, but w completely outclassed in the sec contest by a score. of 5 to 1. The ] tie Creek school of physical train fell before the Michigan- players I hard fought 1 to 0 game. Director Floyd Rowe and soc manager Glenny will select the 15 cer players, who will receive the c eted insignia.
