JAPANESE FROLIC EXEMPLIFIED.
In spite of the discouraging weather;
more than 600 persons crowded New-
berry hall last night to witness the
first of the series of "National Nights"
given by the Corda Fratres-Cosmopoli-
tan association. The hall was quaint-
ly decorated with the American and
Japanese national flags, numerous
palms and Japanese lanterns, present-
ing a purely oriental atmosphere.
W. W. Welsh, president of the club,
had charge of the program. In his in-
troductory remarks, President Welsh
outlined the purpose of the club and
what it stands for. "Most people think
that the club consists of the foreign
students only," said the president,
"but it is organized both for American
and foreign students to get together
and solve the misconceptions of differ-
ent peoples, to awaken in the Ameri-
cans a lively interest in the outside
world, and to advocate the ideals of
peace and humanity."
The first number on the program
was a lecture on the scenic beauty of

Fielding H. Yost
A " _ '
Out of every football season arises cause for joy, cause for sorrow, cause
for celebration and cause for reflection. In every game lost there arises a
host of critics, a horde of fault finders. And in every game won these self
same hordes and hosts turn hero worshippers. And it is only in the long and
dreary after months that merit finds its place and that talent and worth are
awarded their due. And now that the season is over and" the last enthusiast
has worn out his voice, just as in year s past arises the predominating figure
of Fielding H. Yost, in old style foot-ball, in new style football, in every fea
ture of the game, the master of the master of them all.
MANY-MERCHANTS,
WILL CO-OPERATE
Forty-Nine Stores to Reduce Prices
to Members of Michigan
"Co-Op" Association.
MEMBERSHIP FEE IS NOMINAL.
Forty-nine stores have contracted
with the University of Michigan Co-
operative association, recently estab-
lished, to give its members a five or
ten per cent discount on all purchases
over one dollar.
One merchant in each line of busi-
ness in all three trade centers of Ann
Arbor, and many merchants in De-
troit have agreed to give these reduc-
tions to members of the association.
To become a member of the asso-
ciation, a student must pay a fee of
one dollar. He will then receive the
directory containing the names of the
merchants who give reductions, and
also a card entitling him to purchase
at a discount at these stores, which
will be good until Nov. 15, 1913. This
directory will be out the first of the
week.
This co-operative plan is similar to
the one which has been in vogue at
several eastern universities for many
years.
Further information regarding the
plan may be secured from S. I. Tice,
'13, manager, 306 N. State street.
AND HE IS SUCH AN OLD MAN
TO BE TRAVELING ALL ALONE
Ankh Peta Hotep, 3,000 years old and
a native of Thebes, has mysteriously
disappeared. When last heard of he
was in Detroit en route for Ann Arbor,
but he has either been beguiled by the
frivolities of modern life or else some
old maid, reviving a long dead hope
has enmeshed him in the conjugal
bonds. In spite of these possibilities,
however, the university authorities
are not worried over his non-appear-
ance.
Mr. Hotep is the mummy of one of
Thebe's merchant princes. He has
been donated to the university by
Charles Wright, Sr., of Detroit.
SENIOR CLASS WOMEN HOLD
FIRST LUNCHEON AT UNION.

It is his unequalled genius that lies
behind the unexpected and startling
plays that win games. It is his force,
his intensity that drives the Michigan
squad through long and weary signal
drills, through hard scrimmage and
through fierce battles. Win or loge,
Michigan is his team, no man feels a
lost game so keenly, no man gets so
much satisfaction out of victory.
Years ago New York critics picked
him as the greatest coach in the coun-
try. He has not lost his power, his
reputation or his creative genius. He
knows the new game as he knew the
old. He knows the value of a play.
He -knew the value of that old style
play that beat Pennsylvania in 1911.
He knew the value of those two for-
ward passes that defeated Cornell this
year. He knew the value of that fake
forward pass that made so much
ground for Michigan this year.
Michigan has had its lean years, sad-
dened with a series of defeats. It has
had its harvest years filled with great
victories. But through it all Yost has
been the same, devoting his energy, all
to. the one end.. Go throughout the
country and ask football enthusiasts.
Go to players, to coaches, to critics.
Their answers are the same "You have
Yost. You should win." Ask the old.
grads what they would think of Mich-
igan without Yost. Ask the youngest
freshman or the factulty man. The
two, Michigan and Yost, are insepara-
bly linked.
And so after this year, one of dis-
appointments and yet sweet in its final
victory, his sterling worth slowly
looms up. And in the plans for next
year it is his name that is first men-
tioned. The greatest coach in Amer-
ica today, Fielding H. Yost.
Contracts for the 1913 Michigane
sian, the largest of the kind ever gi
en out by the university, have be
awarded by the board in control
student publications to the Cargill C
of Grand Rapids and the Bureau
Engraving of Minneapolis, Minnesot
Both companies have done work
previous year books. The former fir
did the printing and binding of t
1911 Michiganensian and the latt
has done the engraving for the pa
two years.
Estimates from fully 30 compani
were considered and the manageme:
states that the contracts were final
awarded not merely on a basis
price, but also in consideration of t
quality of work previously done by t
firm making the bids. The Michiga:
ensian management, C. G. Shoeffel a
Stanley Newhall will co-operate 11
the above mentioned firms, and it
expected that they will turn out or
of the most beautiful volumes whi
has yet appeared.
According to the .imanagement, ti
1913 annual will embody sever
changes as the general standard t
the artistic work will be raised to
higher level and fully 50 more pag
will be added. A distinctly novel ph<
tograveure will be printed on the ded
cation page. The Fraternity and S5
rority section will be changed con
pletely. The terms of the contra4
call for delivery on the first day <
May.
All the fraternity and sorority 'mat
rial is now in the hands of the ed
tors and it will be sent to the put
lishers within the next two weeks.

must make their contracts for spac

space must be turned in not later tha
