t____________ T L n u ARRANGEMENTS ARE COMPLETED Faculties to Attend in Cap and Gown, Stiidents Will Assemble Near Hill Auditorium By Classes. TO PLACE 0IVRA I)UATUE YTUDENTS f11IECTLY BEHIND FACULTY. Seats Will Be Provided According to Seniority And Not By Departments. Students are not to parade at the Convocation exercises Friday after- noon. The university faculties in cap and gown will march from University hall to Hill Auditorium and pass in review in front of the students in a hollow square formed by the classes. Departmental representation will be nil in the student body, the arrange- ment being wholly according to the four classes. Every university senior is to report on the campus in the space between the law building and the psychology laboratory. Here the class officers will arrange them in four columns, two abreast, facing the auditorium. The other classes are to be arranged in the same manner, meeting in all- class groups in the following places: Freshmen on the campus between the psychology building; sophomores in North University avenue, east of S. Ingalls; juniors in N. University avenue, west of S. Thayer. All stu- dents are to report too these spots at 4:00 o'clock, Provision has not been made for the 200 graduate students, but it is prob- able that they will follow the faculty in the march from University hall to the auditorium. During the exercises the faculty and graduate students will occupy the seats of honor in the front rows on the ground floor. The juniors will be in the rear, with the lower classes in the two balconies. Includ- ing faculty and graduates provision has to be made for approximately 5644 people. The auditorium capacity is limited to 5500. "The convocation is by no means a new idea at Michigan," said Byron A. Finney, '71, Reference Librarian for the University. Convocations were held in 1869 and 1870, but were dis- continued because of department wrangles over precedence in 'the pro- cession. According to Mr. Finney, in 1869, Henry S. Frieze, then acting president of the university, set apart Wednesday, Nov. 17, for a general celebration of the students. This celebration was to be christened 'Uni- versity Day,' and to be held every November. Classes were suspended and in spite of a snowstorm, a proces- sion of nearly 1000 students and fac- ulty members was formed. After marching about the streets, they pro- ceded to the Methodist church on State street, where the exercises were held." Mr. Finney relates that the innova- tion was a great success, and the cus- tom was continued on November 9 of the following year. That celebration proved successful and everyone thought it would become a permanent institution. Unfortunately the third year there was so much discussion be- tween departments as to their position in line that the idea of having a cele- bration was abandoned. FRESH RHETORIC CLASSES CONTINUE TO INCREASE. Prof. F. N. Scott, of the rhetoric de- partment states that the present en- rollment is the largest of any univer- sity in this country insert, if not in all the world. Fifteen hundred have al- ready been classified in the work, 852, of which are taking freshman courses. I)ISCOVERtY OF ARCTI(' LANI) SUtPRI SE TO S('IENTI ST S Signiticance of lRussian Tentones is Explained by Professor .. I-. I-obs. "The news of the recent discovery of a new island north' of Siberia by a Russian exploring party comes as a great surprise to scientists," said Pro- fessor W H. Hobbs, of the geological department. "The new land is esti- mated to be about the size of Green- land, lies approximately in latitude 81" N. and longitude 105 i.. Al- though definite information isckimg, the general opinion among s< .ntists seems to be that the land is covered with ice, and that its inhabitants, if any, are eskimoes, living on musk ox and seal." "From an economic standpoint," continued Professor Hobbs, "the dis- covery is of small account, as the only commercial value that might be de- rived would be from the seal fisheries. The successful Russian expedition is one of two that were fitted out as the result of a report by Rear-Admiral Peary, upon his return from the Pole, to the effect that land had been sighted by him north of the Mackenzie River. The second expedition is thought to be at present north of Alaska, in search of the land reported by Peary." Will (dve Address to English Teachers. Prof. F.'N. Scott, of the rhetoric de- partment, as president of thy. Council of Teachers of English and the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools, will give the ad- dres at their respective convenitions, to be held in Chicago during the months of November and March. Walter McDougall, Ph.D., and Charles H. Otis, Ph.D., who were grad- uated from the university last June have received positions as instructors in botany in the University of Illinois and Cornell respectively. TRACK HOPES FOR TISYEAR .ARESOARING FootbaIl Excitement and Fall Weather lo Not Prevent Cinder Men From Their Daily Spin. JIAFF I EL(l 1BL T() Al) 311CIIA I N PENN RELAYS . fore Athietes Appear for Practice as Tlim3e for Fall Relays Although football occupies the cen- ter of the stage for the next few months, track men are preparing in a quiet way for the time when they must do their turn. With only the remnants of last year's varsity for material, Michigan would be assured of a strong team, but added "to them will come 'the stars of the 1916 All- fresh squad. Welcome news of great possibilities in the Pennsylvania re- lays comes with the announcement that Carroll laff, Varsity captain from last year will be eligible for this com- petition. Trainer Farrell is taking time from his football duties every afternoon to devote to the track men who are turn- ing out for the fall practice. Bond, Seward, Kohler, Jansen, and other les- ser lights are attendants at the prac- tices, while the distance 4nen spend their afternoons running with the cross country squad. It is the middle distance runners that are doing the most strenuous training at this time, as they have the interclass relays, scheduled to be run between the halves of the Syracuse. football game. With the news of Haff's eligibility for the Pennsylvania relays is the ad- ditional detail that there is no rule but only a "big university" custom, I INTERCOLLEGIATE I1 FILL I 9 r a Madison,, Wis., Oct. 18.-The com- plete reversal of form shown by Coach Juneau's aspiring champions in the Marquette game, promises to bring about a number of changes in the line up as well as the hardest grind of the season during the present week. Sat- urday's game not only brought out several weak spots on the Badger team but also showed that even the veterans are in need of the ghost ball and more strenuous scrimmages. Iowa City, Oct. 18.-Every effort is being made to secure an all-university Union, which is to be called "The Iowa Union." This has been tried here before but owing to lack of organiza- tion it fell through. This time, how- ever, the studentsbody is taking up the proposition themselves and from the present outlook there will probably be a union here within a short time. Committees appointed, representing the different colleges are meeting nearly every evening. The plans, as yet, are somewhat in- definite but it is proposed that the student council appoint permanent committees from the different col- leges and classes, thus forming a gov- erning body. This will give every col- lege and faction representation. Iowa City, Oct. 18.-Yesterday about three thousand students posed before a swinging camera back of the new physics building.

As far as any existing rule is concerned, a man is eligible for four years of inter-col- legiate competition; but it has always been the custom of Michigan and the larger universities in the East to enter a man for only three years. In this manner a fairer chance is secured for the smaller colleges as they are held in no way from using their stars a year longer. It is not probable that Haff will be used, but developments may arise that will change the inter- fering sentiment. More athletes from the ranks of the freshmen are expected to put in an appearance this week, and more Var- sity candidates are intending to come out for a week or two to limber up. When the roll of the afternoon prac- tices reaches greater numbers, a bet- ter idea can be had of this spring's prospects on track and field. COMEDY CLUBl MANUSCRIPTS ARE COMI NGIN SLOWLY. Professor Louis Strauss, chairman of the Comedy; Club's prize play-writ- ing contest, has received but one manuscript in competition for the $100 prize which is offered by the club. Friday night was the time set at which all manuscripts were to have been pre- sented to the committee, but owing to the fact that several of the amateur playwrights have been tardy in see- ing the committee the time may be ex- tended. Those who were interviewed seemed in favor of extending the time in order that more plays may be pre- sented. In case a student play is used by the Comedy Club, the, author will receive the $100 prize. But if the committee decides that the club should not use the local production, then in that case the author will receive but $25.
