That the cast for the 1914 Michi- gan Union opera will not be announc- ed until the first of the second semes- ter was announced by the committee, at its meeting following the tryouts at the Union last night. The list was somewhat reduced, but it was found impossible to name the 17 men who will participate. In waiting until next semester, the management hopes to do away with the possibility of ineligi- bility on account of scholastic deficien- cies. According to General Chairman Karl B. Hoch, the material displayed last night was excellent. The tryouts for the chorus will take place at the Union Tuesday night. The 32 men to be picked will be chosen for their singing and dancing, ability. Inasmuch as dancing in pairs will fea- ture the chorus work this year, the tryouts are urged to pick dancing partners, and practice a few steps to- gether before Tuesday. Either men (Continued on page 4.) WRESTLING BOUTS WILL START SOON Wrestling will come into its share of the athletic attention immediately af- ter the examinations, when the first matches of this winter's tournament are scheduled. Radical changes in the way of judg- ing the contests, have been made. Mil- ler Pontius, '14L James Raynsford '15E, and Henry Lichtner, '14E, have been appointed as judges, and will give decisions in all struggles that are not ended by falls inside of 30 min- utes. The classification of the different weight divisions will be the same as last year. The light weight class will be for those under 135 pounds, the welter weight for those under 145, the middle .weight for those under 158 pounds, and the heavy weight class for men over 158 pounds. The winner in each division will receive a silver cup as was the case last year. It is planned to hold a meeting in Waterman gymnasium Saturday morn- ing, and the time for this will be an- nounced later. COLIA BIA PROFESSOR LAUDS PLAN OF SCIENCE BUILDING "Your new science building will be one of the best arranged and best equipped in the country, and the psy- chology department will be the finest I have ever seen. It will surpass ours at Columbia, "said Prof. J. McKeene Cattell of Columbia, after inspecting the plans of the new science building yesterday. Professor Cattell is visiting the uni- versity on his return from the race betterment congress held in Battle Creek. He was invited to state his opinion of the proposed plans of the new science building, which will be submitted to the regents at their next meeting, January 27. Definite steps toward establishing 1 self-government among the women of the university were taken at the mass- meeting held in Barbour gymnasium yesterday afternoon, when it was unanimously decided to elect three representatives from each class to work with the self-government com- imttee in formulating a permanent system of organization. It was also decided that these women should work to promote sentiment in favor of im-. proved studying conditions in the gen- eral library, which is the first subs ject that the self-government board will consider. The meeting was conducted by Irene .Bigalke, president of the women's mittee, and Catherine Reighard, chair- man of the self-government commit-. tee. Prof. A. H. Lloyd, as chair- man of the committee on house-clubs, discussed the beneficial effect of self- rule upon scholarship. Miss Edna Thuner, former president of the wom- en's league, outlined the self-govern- ment system of Radcliffe College;Miss. Mary Yost, of Vassar, spoke on the true spirit of the movement; and Miss Gillette, of the university library staff, 'discussed the need for better studying conditions in the general library. Another mass meeting will be held in the near future, at which all women .Will be given an opportunity to vote upon the library question. UNiON WILL HOLD SPECIAL DANCE DURING EXAM WEEK The Union has planned to hold a special membership dance on Thurs- day night of the second week of ex- aminations. It has not been decided whether or not this will be a formal party. At any rate, it will be conduct- ed similar to the regular"dances, and will be in charge of the regular gener- al chairman. Graduate Receives Lieutenantship Arthur J. Kingston, '12E, has been appointed second lieutenant in revenue cutter service. The appointment was determined by a competitive examina- tion, in which Kingston was success- ful over 12 candidates, including two Annapolis men. Will Lecture on Christian Science; A free public lecture on Christian, science will be given by Virgil 0.1 Strickler, C. S., of New York, at the First Church of Christian Science, 409i South Division street, Friday, January 4 16, at 8:00 o'clock. The public is cor-l dially invited to attend. . Football candidates for the 1914 Varsity met in Waterman gymnasium last night, and discussed the plans of preparation for the hardest football schedule that a Michigan team has ev- er faced. More than 60 men, recruited for the ranks of the Varsity, Reserve, and All-Fresh squads listened to talks from Director Bartelme, Trainer Far- rell, Captain Raynsford, and all the third year veterans. Captain Raynsford told the candi- dates that their first care should be their studies, and that with the exami- nations safely passed, they owed it to themselves and their fellow students to put themselves in ihe best possible physical shape for the coming sea- son. lie urged further that the men work out regularly in the gymnasium during the winter, and announced that classes in football instruction would probably be formed. Director Bartelme talked on the schedule for next fall, and repeated the necessity of all the men seeing to their scholastic eligibility. Trainer Farrell spoke of the perparation that the Michigan athletes would have to make to meet a team of Harvard's caliber on equal terms. The Michi- gan trainer expressed himself as far from satisfied with the attitude of the football men towards developing them- selves to the greatest extent. He ad- vanced, in support of'this, the fact that the veterans on the squad never put in appearance at the gym in the winter but they are satisfied with the condi- tion they can attain with the fall training alone. Harvard men train all winter and summer, and if Michigan does not want to be disgracefully rout- ed in her first clash with the peer of Eastern universities her athletes must show some of this same spirit. The third year veterans, called upon to speak, all dwelled on the need of a long training season. Pontius said the Michigan football players had the chance in their grasp to make the West respected in the East. If they were de- feated, the West would not be given another opportunity for years. Craig impressed it upon the men that they should come to the classes that are to be organized, and take part in .the spring outdoor practice. Torbet and Allmendinger spoke along these same lines. Captain Raynsford closed the meet- ing with the announcement that anoth- er gathering will be called during FRESH WEEKFOR 1917 WOMEN nnoi-ation Follo wingIdea Among Fren _Wi1111Be Inauiguraled Soon. Emulating the campaign of "How- dy Frosh" among the men students, the freshmen women will inaugurate a similar idea in a "Freshman Week" commencing at a date to be announced later. To distinguish freshmen wom- en, an appropriate green symbol will be worn by each member of the class. The purpose of the movement is to arouse class interest and spirit, ac- cording to the decision reached by the class meeting yesterday, and all wom- en who were not present at the meet- ing are urged to find out the plans from those who attended, as the main details of the innovation are as yet a secret. VARSITY DEBATERS LEAVE TOMORROW Three Men Will Go to Chicago Thurs- Clay to Participate in Big Annual Contest. OPPONENTS DISPLAY STRENGTH After spending two weeks in per- fecting their speeches in daily rehears- als, the members of the Varsity de- bating team will leave Thursday af- ternoon for Chicago, to take part in the annual Michigan-Chicago contest. The three members of the team are Sylvan S. Grosner, '14L, Werner W. Schroeder, '14, and Samuel Witting, '15. Grosner was alternate on the var- sity debating team in 1912, Schroedert held the same position last year, and1 Witting has been prominently identi-4 flied in inter-society campus debates.f Chicago has a formidable team this year, all of its members being gradu- ates of the literary depa-rtmenttand Phi Beta Kappa men. Harry A. Rosen- berg, '13-'15L, won the Julius Rosen- wald prize for excellence in oratory; Arnold R. Bear, '12-'14L, was cham-I pion of the class debating team in 1909,l (Continued on page 4.)3 CABARETERS WILL GATHER TONIGHT Will NEW ELECTIC PLAN FAYQI MAY ASK STUDENT BODY F0 GENERAL REFERENDUM Directors Will Name Footall lI Candidates at Meeting Today.

The problem, however, is being readily met. m The Scarecrow is the result of a diabolical plot on the part of a re- vengeful witch, to get even with Jus- tice Merton, her former lover, and in so doing she nearly wrecks the tender romance of the Justice's daughter. The Scarecrow's rival, however, suc- ceeds in thwarting the nefarious plot by the use of the mirror of truth. Fresh Lits to Hold "Alphabet" Dance An "alphabet" dance will bring freshman lits together for the first time after the holidays at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Barbour gym- nasium. Dancing will last until 5:30 o'clock. Tickets, selling at 25 cents, may be obtained from the social com- mittee. The class dinner, announced for next Monday, has been postponed until February 16, at 5:30 o'clock, at the Union. With the 200 tickets nearly exhaust- ed, the membership dinner at the Michigan Union at 6:00 o'clock tonight bids to repeat the success of. the De- cember function. Chicken, orchestra music during the meal and a light program are hoped to give the affair a distinct cabaret atmosphere. The remaining tickets are on sale at the Union desk today at 50 cents. Frank Murphy, '14L, will introduce the numbers, the principal of which will be an, act by the Mimes. Profes- sor Bunk, whose real identity the Mim- es refuse to reveal, with a skillful as- sistant, will prove that the hand is quicker than the eye in a repertoire of legerdemain lore. Prof. Arthur L. Cross, of the history department, will give a short talk, and a quartet from the mandolin club will furnish a few numbers. A. 0. Williams, '14E, and Harold Tallmadge, '14, have promised a dancing number, and there will prob- ably be a vocal number. The or- chestra which will play during the meal is composed of the following: Lee Parker, '17, Walter Fort, '17M, and Henry Rummel, '14. THINKS REPORTED STUDENT UPRISING WAS UNFOUNDED Reports from Philadelphia of a "stu- dent uprising," in opposition to the switching of the Pennsylvania-Mich- igan game 'to Ann Airbor in 1914, are believed to be unfounded by Athletic Director Bartelme. According to the local authorities, the decision to change the place of playing next season's game was ami- cably reached, on the grounds of ar- ranging a satisfactory schedule for Michigan. As Pennsylvania has all of her games but the Michigan contest at home, the report is regarded here as without serious foundation.
