ident: Chairman Clyde Hasley, Rus-
sell Ulrich, and Fay Allen.

1)1,. ANGELL LECTURING TO
INTERNATIONAL LAW CLASS.
Is Probably the Last Time That Pres-
ilent-Emeritus Will Pur Ise
Active Work.

time. He is delivering a series of lec-
tures before Prof. J. C. Reeves class in
international law, which is the class
that he formerly taught,

ing up is the law of war, with especial
attention to the positions of belliger-
ants and neutrals. The lectures come
Wednesday at 9:00 o'clock, and are
given in room 102 of the economics
building.
The arrangement will continue until
Christmas,Prof. Reeves being in Wash-
ington, D. C., doing research work on
questions of international boundaries.

seats in the room, and outsiders will
be permitted to attend.

LY HUNDRED J-LITS
ATTEND DINNER AT UNION.
rly a hundred junior lits turned
the first of the series of class
rs held at the Union last night.
J. R. Effinger, who was the
pal speaker of the evening, gave
joyable talk, becoming reminis-
bout some of the old days of the
sity. Others called on by "Carp"
nter, the toastmaster, were Jack
icott, "Chink" Bond, and Bruce
The musical part of the pro-
was furnished by "Bill" Dieke-
At the invitation of several proni-
nent Detroit men Dean H. M. Bates of
the law department will draft .a bill
for the reformation of the probation
and reform laws throughout the state.
The dean will model his draft after the
laws now in force in Wisconsin. The
bill will be presented to the next leg-
islature and the chances that it will
be made a law seem to be pretty bright.
"In many instances the prisons and
reformatories have proven to be reg-
ular educational institutions in vice
for the young men and 'first offenders.'
This law will be directed at young men{
who commit minor offenses, whole-,
some men who have fallen for the first
time and who should not be imprison-
ed with old offenders, such as thugs
and thieves.
"Under the present system in vogue
in this and most other states, when a
man is brought before a police mag-
istrate charged with some minor of-
fense such as drunkenness, although
he's young, and in court for the first
time, he is sentenced to jail along with
crooks of every description where evil
influences may prey upon him. Fur-
thermore he is disgraced in the eyes of
his friends and no opportunity is given
him to escape the stigma of a prison
record, But under the proposed law,
he would be examined carefully by the
magistrate and if it appeared that he
was a good, wholesome man, with no
previous police court record, that he,
had a desire to do better in the future,
he would be released under the watch
of a probation officer.
"This law then, has two main fea-
tures, the segregation of persons com-
mitting minor offenses from those
committing great ones, and second, the
parole and probation feature."
Governor Osborn, who was in the
city Tuesday night to attend the fo-
ball smoker, when asked his opinion of
such law said:
"It would be admirable. Our pres-
ent law directed at such evils is neith-
er adequate nor comprehensive
enough. We now have no place where
the petty offenders can be sent and
not be in grave danger of coming out
worse men than when they were sen-
tenced."
Catholic Students to Hold Party.
Some of the women of the Catholic
church will give an acquaintance par-
ty tonight at Thomas Hall, Elizabeth
St., from 8:00 to 10:00 o'clock. All
of the Catholic women of the university
are cordially invited to attend. Dur-
ing the evening refreshments will be
served and a good time for all is as-
sured.

GERMAN COMEDY
"Koepenickerstr. 120," a Light Drama
by Gustav von Moser is
Decided Upon.
HERR C. LEIDICH GIVES TALK.
"Koepenickerstr. 120," one of Gustav
Moser's comedies, has been selected
by the Deutscsher Verein for its annual
here this winter. Although definite<
dates have not yet been made with all
of the desired men, many promises as
well as some definite engagements as-
sure the society of arranging the best
series of its kind that has ever been
presented in Ann Arbor.
Alexander Irvine, famous author,
pastor, public speaker, and soldier, has
been engaged to speak Monday, De-
cember 9, and Harry W. Laider, na-
tional organizer of the Intercollegiate
Socialist society of Yale university will
speak December 18. Jack London is
also expcted to speak the latter part
of next month. Other men whose en-
gagements are not definitely settled,
are Woodbridge N. Ferris, governor-
elect, and Prof. John Kennedy of the
economics department of the univer-
sity of Chicago.
This year the society has increased
150 per cent and its work 'has grown
to the extent that three study sections
had to be formed. Members and their
friends will dance in Barbour gym
this evening at 8:00 o'clock. Tickets
are 50 cents.
Fresh Laws to Hold "Purity" Smoker.s
"Purity" in the classroom, on the
campus, in athletics and in every walk
of life will be the keynote of the first
fresh law smoker of the year which
will be held at the Union on next Mon-
day night. Dean Henry M. Bates, of1
the law department, "Eddie" Saier,
"Hap" Haff and A. E. Bing will make
short speeches, and music, both vocal
and instrumental, will be rendered.'
Cigars aid cider will be distributed.
Tickets for the affair will cost 25 cents.
el at the dance of the society last night
in Barbour gymnasium.
The play has a Berlin atmosphere,
and is based on the universal theme of
the city man's love for the country,
and the country man's longing for the
life of the towns. "Koepenickerstr.
120" has exceptional literary merit,
and this, together with its light com-
edy, makes it especially valuable for
student production.
The date has not yet been set, but
the tryouts will be held at once. Pros-
pects must sign up' Friday afternoon
at 5:00 o'clock in room 203 University
hall. The trials will be extended over
about two weeks, to enable all candi-
dates to have sufficient time for try-
outs.
The play requires an exceptionally
large cast, about twenty characters
being needed for the production. The
parts are equally divided between men
and girls.
Preceding the dance, Herr C. Leid-
ich, president of the Harmonie Verein,
[of Detroit,delivered a lecture on "Ram-
bles Through Germany," at Sarah Cas-
well Angell hall before an apprecia-
tive audience. The lecture was illus-
trated by slides secured by the
speaker in his travels in the Father-
land. It was* delivered in German.
Prof. Rich Testifies in Lansing.
Prof. E. D. Rich of the mechanical
engineering department went to Lan-
sing yesterday morning to render ex-
pert testimony in an engineering case
in that city. He returned last night.
Although the Michigan Jnion this
year has, by far, the largest total mem-
bership in its history, the number of
faculty names on the roster is unusu-
ally meagre. On4y 164 instructors and'
university officers have joined to date,
which number is considered an unsat-
isfactory showing inasmuch as there
are over 500 members of the Michigan
faculty..
Of the 164 teachers who are affiliated
with the Union this year, 134 have tak-
en out yearly membership cards, 24
are life members, and six are partici-
pating life members. In view of the
strong general support given to the
Michigan Union by the faculty, it is
considered surprising that only one-
third of this body has entered into ac-
tive participation in Union affairs. 1
By departments, the" literary college1
can claim the largest faculty member-
ship in the Union, with the engineer-
ing and law departments trailing along
as rather poor seconds. This is much1
the same order in which student mem-
bership figures by departments rank.
I'NIO MEMBERSHIP LISTS
NOW EXCEED THE 2,300 1IARK
The new additions to the Michigant
Union membership list are being made
daily. Last evening the record book
showed 2,301 members for the college
year 1912-'13. Two weeks ago the Un-
ion management was of the. opiniont
that the 2,300 mark would not be
reached this year, but now all inter-
ested in Union affairs are looking
ahead to still greater gains. The slo-
gan, at the present time, is "2,500."
The total membership of the Union
last year was 1270. Today, the Mich-
igan Union has 89 life members, 220
participating life members, and 2,301
regulars. The grand total, 2,610, is
more than twice the number of any
previous year.
Japanese Students to Present Sketches
"Japanese Night" is the first of the
series of national nights to be present-
ed this fall under the auspices of the
Corda Fratres-Cosmopolitan club. The
affair will be staged in Newberry hall.
Saturday evening, and the actors will
be Japanese students who will present
sketches depicting the quaint life of
the Flowery Kingdom.
Rev. Knepper to Give Second Lecture.

dents are urged to be present as well
