RELAY TEAl! LEAVES THIS NOON
Although five of the Wolverine track
stars will be in the east Saturday
night, the Varsity meet in Waterman
gym is sure to furnish some of the
fastest competition of the year. The
distance runs are the only events
where the class of the competition will
fall below par, as all the relay men
have been drawin from either the mile
or the half mile ranks.
The freshmen will finish their in-
door work Saturday night, some of
whom are waiting for this chance to
try their skill against their elders on
the Varsity squad. Wilson, the fresh-

FORMASTERS,
Candidates for M.A. Degree Will Not
Be Submitted to Star

June
GOOD SCHOLASTIC RECORD
NECESSARY FOR EXEMPTION
Former Method Declared Too Severe
Mental and Nervous Strain;
Poor Test
By the terms of a new ruling of the
graduate department, which goes into
effect with the coming June examina-
tions, all candidates who expect to ob-
tain their master's degree and who
have clear scholastic records, will not
be required to take the two-hour, star-
chamber oral examinations which have
been required in the past. The new
ruling was announced yesterday after-
noon by Dean Karl Guthe of the Grad-
date department.
The old rules governing those taking
examinations for master's degree re-
quired both the regular course writ-
ten tests and an oral examination. The
new regulation cuts off the oral quiz
for those with clear records, but re-
tains the written final. The committee
in charge, however, retains the right to
require the oral examination if it sees
fit. According to Dean Guthe, the old
system has been abolished as imprac-
tical in that it puts the student under
too severe a mental and nervous
strain, and has proven in reality a
poor test of the student's ability.
Will Replace Stolen Hunt Picture
No trace has been found of the Hel-
en Runt picture that was stolen from
Alumni Memorial hall last month, and
the Ann Arbor Art association ex-
pects to replace it as soon as the bill
is received from the Library of Con-
gress, to whom the picture belonged.
Fortunately the picture was only a re-
print, and it is believed that it can be
replaced without great expense.
DECLARE CHARGES
ARE EXAGGERATED
Editor Michigan Daily:-
On account of the charges that have
been made against the 1917 medic class
in regard to dishonest methods in ex-
aminations, an investigation was
deemed necessary and this committee
was appointed to carry out the investi-
gation.
It conferred with every me er of
the class and with the dean of the de-
partment and Is absolutely convinced
that the charges were greatly exag-
gerated as circulated on the campus.

iegated spot colors.

ALLINGTON, '15E, REPORTED
SLOWLY GAINING STRENGTH
Movies Have Enforced Fumigation
Layv of City Health Department
For Some Time
Installation of a new ventilation sys-
tem in the Whitney theater, under the
direction of Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city
health officer, Dean V. C. Vaughan, and
Dr. H. H. Cummings of the medical
department is planned by the Whitney
management. These men will go over
the premises this morning, in an effort
to ascertain what changes are neces-
sary. It is probable that a system of
ventilation, such as is in use in the
Hill auditorium, will be installed. This
is a direct result of the campaign now
being waged against the epidemic of
throat trouble.
No action has -been taken against
the proprietors of moving pictutre
shows as yet, because most of them
are complying with an order of the
health department issued last fall, and
are fumigating their premises every
twto weeks. In the future, however,
they may be asked to fumigate more
often.
No new cases of throat trouble were
discovered by the University health
service yesterday, as practically all of
the fraternity houses have been fumi-
gated. All but five organizations have
now answered Dr. Cummings' call.
The condition of H.J. Allington, '15E,
who is seriously ill of throat trouble
at the St. Joseph sanitarium was some-
what better yesterday, although he is
still In a critical condition. Injections
of blood serum are still being made
daily, and a number of men from the
Psi Upsilon house are being bled each
day by Dr. Cummings at the health
service for this purpose.
1914 ENGINEERS1
AND i LITS WINI
In the semi-finals of the interclass
basketball series the senior engineers
and junior lits won the right to meet
in the finals Tuesday by defeating the
senior lits and the-junior laws respect-
ively,
The final score in the junior lt-jun-
ior law game was 24 to 18, but it fails
to show the closeness of the bout. At
the end of the first half the score stood
7 to 6 in the lits favor, but the laws
missed the early start that the lits got
in the second half and were unable to
catch up.
Although the senior lits played 1i
good game, particularly Wulff and
Pearce at guard, the engineers played
wth greater confidence, and due to the
stellar work of Coveney and Brush
were enabled to win by a 29 to 11
score.
Handball Teams Play Four Matches
Four matches in the second round
of the handball tournament were play-
ed yesterday with the following scor-
es: Peddicord defeated Comstock, 18-7
in both frames; Pfeifer swamped
Switzer, 18-4, and 18-13; Werum beat
F. C. Morse, 16-8 and 16-14; and
George won two of three sets from
Stanton; 15-8, 5-16, and 15-12.
WOMAN CRIES FOR SMILES
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
You Mlichigan mnen are perfect hogs,
in some respects. For the last six
weeks, you have exercised a monopoly
on campus humor. You have started
the "Campusmiles" but not once have
you invited the women of the univer-
sity to contribute or partake. You
men edit the column and I firmly be-
lieve that you have come to think that
only you and yours can write humor.
Mr. Editor, you owe us an apology.
If women can vote, they can certainly
write humor, even for your delectable
column.
If you do not believe this, invite us
to try.

will probably see the gym record in

The relay team will leave this noon
for Pittsburg, arriving in the "Smoky

tomorrow morning. Trainer Farrell
will not accompany the relay men, but
will remain in Ann Arbor to watch
the work of the entrants in the Var-
sity meet.
It is expected that there will be a
.large deputation of Michigan and Cor-
.nell alumni at the relays, as the Pitts-

circulars to Cornell and Michigan
alumni in Pittsburg and nearby cities.
Pres. C. F. Thwing Will Speak Sunday
Pres. Charles F. Thwing, of Western
Reserve university of Cleveland, Ohio,;
will speak on Sunday night at the
Methodist church under the auspices
of the Wesleyan guild. President
Thwing is the author of a book enti-
tled "The Universities of the World,"
written after a world tour which in-'
cluded visits to all the important edu-
cational institutions on the globe. His

Interpretation of Life."
George Lawton to Coach Detroit Nine
George Lawton, '11, former Univer-
sity of Michigan football star, has been
appointed to coach the University of
Detroit's baseball team Tor the coming
season. Lawton was coach of the U.'
of D. football team last fall and in+
this capacity was very popular with;
the students.
Coach Lundgren appeared in a new
role yesterday afternoon, donning the
mask and protector during batting
practice to look over one of his young
pitching candidates. "Bill" Davidson
was the hurler coming in for the
coach attention, and aside from diffi-
culty in finding Gtl plae showed fair
early season form.
Soddy, the young port side artist.
was the only other pitcher to work
out; Thursday being the off day in
the training camp, as most of the men
have afternoon classes. Only half of
the two dozen candidates on the indoor
squad were out.
Another infield practice concluded
yesterday's 'work. Howard was out,
and appeared on first; with Hughitt
and Baker at third and short. Labodie
had the absent McQueen's station at
second, and. looked fairly well; al-
though it takes him a long time to get
th'e ball away from him.
Mattson appeared at the plate, nei-
ther Hippler or Baer were out, and
Benton was again given a trial at the
pegging game. Both of these young-
sters have a good whip, but lack the
"pep" of the older men.
Lenten Lecture Will be Given Today
"The Adequate Object of Religion,"
will be the subject of thie second lec-
ture on the Lenten series to be deliv-
ered by Prof. R. M. Wenley, of the

es of the Hobart guild, and are open to

land, Belgium and France.
