YESTERDAY
An innovation in freshman activities
will be introduced by fresh lits in the
giving of a mammoth "all-fresh"smok-
er at 7:00 o'clock next Monday night
at the Union. Members of all fresh-
man classes on the campus have been
invited to the affair, which is expected
to result in greater unity in the class
and a more general acquaintanceship
between members of the various de-
partments.
The freshman engineer orchestra
and glee club will uphold the musical
part of the program, while fresh lits
will supply the smokes and eats in lib-
eral quantities. Faculty men of the
several departments represented will
give short taalks to the yearlings. A
nominal charge of 15 cents will be col-
lected at the door.

Concert, March 12
TICKETS ON SALE YESTERDAY
"The Saxophone Rag," by Rowland
Fixel, 414L, and Sylvan Grosner, '14L,
will be one of the novelties to be intro-
duced at the popular conceit to be
staged by the Glee and Mandolin club,
Thursday evening, March 12, in the
Hill auditorium. Waldo Fellows,. '14,
one of the club's principal comedians,
will sing the selection, which has just
been published by the University Mu-
sic house.
"Laddie," the recent hit written by
Fred Lawton, '12, of Detroit, will be
featured for the first time in Ann Ar-
bor by the Glee club. Lawton has
also conposed another popular piece,
which he has dedicated to the Glee
club, and which will receive its first
rendition at the concert next week.
"The Dance of the Gnomes" will be
one of the new numbers on the varied
program. Special lighting effects will
be employed. The repertoire will be
almost completely changed, the Man-
dolin club having several new stunts
which it will introduce.
"Bill" Williams, '14E, has prepared
a novel sketch, of a 'distinctively com-
ical nature, for his share of the affair.
Waldo Fellows will be on hand with
the monologue which he will use on
the Pacific Coast trip, while the "Mid-
night Sons" and "Comedy String Quar-
tet" will be starred in new ragtime
selections.
Tickets for the concert, at the uni-
form price of 25 cents for all seats,
went on sale yesterday. The admis-
sion cards may be obtained at the Un-
ion, Wahr's and Sheehan's.
THREE MORE ORATORS CHOSEN
FOR FINAL HAMILTON CONTEST
Selection of Orator to Represent'
Michigan at Chicago to Be
Made Saturday;
Rene Talamon Announces Engagement
Mr. Rene Talamon, for the past four'
years an instructor in the French de-
partment, announced his engagement
to Miss Beatrice Underwood, of Knox-
ville, Tenn., at a dinner given Monday
evening for the Church Warden's a
faculty club. The bride-to-be is a niece
of Oscar Underwood, democratic lead-
er of the House and author of the new
national tariff law. Mr. Talamon will
be married in June at Washington, D.'
C., and will reside in Ann Arbor.
Two Fellowships in Botany Are Open
Two fellowships in botany have not
been filled for the year 1914-1915. The
Whittier fellowship, carrying a stipend!
of $400 per annum, is open to all
graduate students in botany, while the
Cole fellowship, which carries an hon-
arium of $500 per annum, is, by the
terms of the founder's testament, open.
only to Michigan students ready for
graduate work.
Applicants for botany fellowships
should fill out application blanks at
the office of the dean of the graduate
department.
Only 20 Junior Lits Pay Class Dues
Only 20 members of the junior lit
class responded to the invitation to
pay class dues yesterday. $14.00 was
all that the third year men paid into
the treasury, and as a result another
date will be set for the collection of
dues in the near future.
Applicants Must Have Prescriptions
Every one going to the prescription
room of the University Health Service
in the chemistry building to have pre-
scriptions refilled, should bring a pre-
scription from their doctor to that ef-
fect. No copies of prescriptions will
tee.
The attitude of the body was that
there was too much dead wood in the
council. It was held that if there were
fewer vacancies to fill, the competition
would be keener, and consequently a
more energetic class of men would be
chosen. The council held that its mem-
bers should simply be chairmen of
committees composed of other stu-
dents. The idea of choosing men from
departments was not advocated, as the
plan of electing them from the senior
classes only was more favored.
"No one would care to be a council-
man if he were compelled to spy and
report on his fellow students" said
Harold S. Hulbert, '14M, in speakig
against a motion to compel council
members to do police work. "It is bet-
ter to leave the judicial functions as
they are, until a change is proposed
by the faculty has been worked out,-
that of trying delinquent students by
the trial practice court of the law de-
partment." According to Hulbert,
this will take about two years, as the
state legislature would first have to
confer the power of giving oath.
The council further gave out its ulti-
matum, that it would stop drinking
along the Huron during the regatta
given by the nion boat club in the
spring.
BOAT CLUB PLANS
LONG CANOE RACE
Plans for a canoe race from Lake-
land to Ann Arbor to be held shortly
after the spring vacation, are being
made by the Union boat club. An ef-
fort will be made at this time to break
the record for distance made two
years ago. It is expected t'at about
twelve canoes will enter the contest.
The following committee chairmen
have been appointed for the Boat club
regatta to be held May 29 and 30:
general chairman, H. S. Parsons, '15E;
clerk of the course, W. S. Davidson,
'15; program, E. B. McKinley, '16; ca,
noe races, IR. A. Hill, '14E; swimming
and diving contests, Bert Chipman, '14;
novelties, W. W. Watson, '16E; amuse-
ments, A. R. Griffes, '15E; judges and
prizes, L. F. Merritt, '15E; qualifica-
tions, D. H. Williams, E special; ar-
rangements, W. T. Smith, '15E; pre-
arrangements, K. S. Baxter, '15E; fin-
ances, H. G. Gault, '15; publicity, P.
H. Middleditch, '15E; shell race, D.
Donald, '15; dance, A. F. Janes, '15E;
secretary, L. A. Arentz, '17.
Letters have been sent by H. S. Par-
sons to all the leading colleges having
crews, asking for suggestions toward
the formation of a Michigan crew. +
The next Boat club dance will be
held March 28, at which members of!
the club will be given the first oppor-
tunity to purchase tickets.
Freshman Laws Are Slow to Pay Dues1
Out of a class of 200 freshman laws,]
only 40 have paid, their semester's dues
of 50 cents. As a result, the treasurer
will collect dues Thursday and Fridayi
of this week, in the lobby of the law1
building, from 9:00 to 12:00 o'clock.
Coach Carl Lundgren made the sec-
ond cut of the season in the baseball
squad at the conclusion of yesterday's
practice session. About half a dozen
candidates for Varsity honors who had
failed to sufficiently impress the coach
with their usefulness were rubbed off
the list. The cut was a necessity, as
the training quarters are too small for
the large squad which is out.
Catcher Wyman was able to be out
for work yesterday, despite his injury
of the day before. The X-ray exami-
nation failed to disclose any fracture
of the collar bone, as was feared, and
although a little stiff in his throwing
arm the veteran receiver was able to
participate in the training stunts.
The Varsity squad as at present con-
stituted on Coach Lundgren's list, is
as follows:
Pitchers-Captain Sisler, Baribeau,
Quaintance, Davidson, Metcalf, Ken-
yon, Vogel, Wheat, Ferguson, Soddy,
and Vollmeyer.
Catchers-Baer, Hippler, Mattson,
Wyman, Benton, Smith, Stallings and

ell, .Shivel, and Keyser.
Short stop-Baker, Diemer and
Tames.
Outfield-Sheahy, Cory, Marshall,
Leiserwitz, Graham, Brucker, Saier,
Roehm, Stuart and Stewart
Many of the infield candidates are
trying for more than one position,
while some of the men recorded as
gardeners maintain their competency
to hold down one of the cushions.
CHOOSE TWO MORE
OPERA PRINCIPALS
Announcement was made yesterday
that the part of Elleurette, chief troub-
le maker in "A Model Daughter," will
be filled by C. G. Shipley, '16, and the
part of Raymond Fibbre is to be taken
by R. M. Parsons, '14. This leaves on-
ly one vacancy in the cast, which will
he illed within a day or two.
Both the chorus and cast held stren-
uous rehearsals yesterday, and a large
part of the show was covered. The
cast will rehearse again at 4:00 o'clock
today and the chorus, which is now
practically selected, at 7:00 o'clock
tonight. With the first performance
scheduled to take place just two weeks
from tonight, Director St. John realiz-
es that much serious practice is nec-
essary to perfect the show for the
stage.
Measurements have been taken of
most of the chorusmen, and the gowns,
some of which have already been se-
cured, will be fitted this week.
S1e1W SCENES OF GLACIER
NATIONAL PARK TOMORROW
The moving picture entertainment
of _1acier National Park of Montana,
which was given at the Chicago Land
Show by the Great Northern Railway
company, will be reproduced tomor-
row evening in the west physics lec-
ture room. The entertainment will
be given under the auspices of the
Forestry club and Prof. P. S. Lovejoy
will preside. Lawrence D. Kitchell
kill give a lecture while the pictures
are being shown. Students and mem-
bers of the faculty will- be admitted
free.
FIRST CAST REHEARSAL PLEASES
Negotiations to secure the Whitney
theater for the Oratorical play, "She
Stoops to Conquer," were discontin-
ued yesterday, and the play will be
given in University Hall on Friday,
March 13, as originally planned. The
carpenters will begin the work of con-
verting the platform in University Hall
into a stage near the end of the week,
installing a curtain and several stage
screens.
Arrangements have been made by
the Oratorical association to place a
banner across State street and to can-
vass the entire city. General admis-
sion will be 25 cents with the excep-
tion of a block of 400 reserved seats
at 50 cents each. Tickets will be on
sale at Wahr's bookstore between 4:00
and 6:00 o'clock every day next week.
Prof. Richard D. T. Hollister, of the
oratory department, expressed himself
as well pleased with the first full cast
rehearsal held last night. There will
be a rehearsal at 7:00 o'clock tonight
in the oratory room. A picture of the
entire cast will be taken at 6:45 o'clock
on Thursday in University Hall.
Committee Sends Out Location Blanks
Location blanks are being sent out
to seniors registered with the appoint-
ment committee. Any who are regis-
tered and have not received blanks, are
