PRICE FIVE i < r IMPUS VIEWS --q I [ THE WEATHER MAN I ATHLETICS TAIL NOTHING Hu «nter, '13E, Secretary of Association, Makes firring Speech at Union. a BOARD STILL HAS THE BAND QUESTION IN A COMMITTEE 'Declares Efficiency Should be Placed Before Clalms of Friends in Election. "If the men who had been placed on the board of directors of the athletic association, to represent the interests of the student body, had really carried out the dictum of the great mass of student sentiment, the band would have gone to Penusy last fall. But these representatives of the student body did not represent; the matter was referred to a committee, and as far as I know, absolutely nothing has been done about it to date." In a speech which literally bristled with ultra-significant statements re- garding the matter of athletic control at Michigan, Morton R. Hunter, '13E, secretary of the athletic association, last night addressed the 150 men as- sembled at the Michigan Union mem- bership dinner. Although not resort- ing to idle rumors criticising the asso- ciation, more or less hazy in nature, Hunter proceeded to illustrate, by concrete examples, the faulty points in the present athletic management. "In my position you will understand that I am not presuming to give an expose of the athletic association," said Hinter in commencing his remarks. "My -object in making these state- ments is to interest you men in the fact that, if you want competent rep- resentation,, you must get out and vote. The men who will be picked at next Saturday's athletic election will automatically become members of the board of directors of the athletic as- sociation. This board is not so im- portant, as is the fact that from tlUN, students in this groupbare later elect) the members of the board of control. This latter board controls the athlet- Ic destinies of the university, and it is here that strong, representative stu- dents can make the sentiment of the student body have some weight. "Just now the alumni members of the board of control,--there are three of them,-believe that tle opinion of the student body is too vacillating to be of much account. At one meeting which I, as a member, attended, an alumni member said: "To h-1 with the student body; you don't know what you want.' As a matter of fact, we don't It is only when we can present a solid front that we can hope to in- fluence the older men on the board, "If you want fair representation, don't vote according to friendship or affiliations. Cast your ballot for the man whom you believe to be an hon- est fighter. "In regard to the matter of the nom- ination of interscholastic manager, the deal was put through by simple concealment of information that should have been made public. Sev- eral members of the board of directors, -as students-employed their knowl- edges of inside' facts to nominate friends, at the samestime being care- ful not to make it known that there was to be such a thing as a nomina- tion of interscholastic manager. Only by a bare majority were some of us able to have the nominations opened again, and another man allowed to enter the race." Prof. Sadler Attends Detroit Meeting. Prof. H. C. Sadler, of the engineer- ing department, left yesterday after- noon for Detroit, to attend a meeting of the Lake Carrier's Association, an organization composed of officers of the great lakes steamship lines.

PLANS FOR i-HOP ABOUT COMPLETE New Plan of Serving Refreshments Adopted by Committee Yesterday. UNION DINNER SPEECHES ARE QUITE VARIED Prof. Wenley Speaks on "Success" and Prof. David Friday is Toastmaster at Banquet. DONAL H. HAINES, OF OPERA FAME, IS AMONG SPE AKERS.. Hulburt Speaks on Proposed Course Up the Huron, and Canoe Club. Race "The Art of Success" was the sub- ject of Prof. Robert M. Wenley, the principal speaker of the evening, at the regular monthly Michigan Union dinner last evening. "The art of suc- cess," began Prof. Wenley, "can be described as a thought in action, ob- scured to the ordinary man by his surroundings. It is the average man, not the genius, who succeeds; and his success depends on character, viewed from practical and intellectual sides." Prof. David Friday, of the economics department, acted as toastmaster and introduced the five speakers of the ev- ening. "Mort" Hunter, '13E, gave a vivid explanation of the present ath- letic situation, the account of which is given in another column of this pa- per. "Hal" Hulburt, '14M, spoke con- cerning the proposed course on the Huron river. He outlined a plan where- by an organization could be formed among the Michigan Union members for the purpose of reducing the num- ber of fatalities each year. This could be accomplished to a great extent by the formation, of a canoe club, with some insignia, whose members could be constantly on the lookout. for all accidents. Hulburt also looked for- ward to the reality of a varsity crew which could get ample training on the two mile stretch that the new dam will provide. Donal H. Haines, '09, the writer, of MICHIGAN MAN OFFERED CHAIR IN BALTIMORE Prof. C. J. Tilden, Head of Department of Mechanics, Badly Wanted by Johns Hopkins University. HE HAS NOT AS YET TAKEN ANY ACTION ON THE MATTER Salary Consideration is Tempting; One and an Acceptance is Not Unlooked For. Prof. C. J. Tilden, head of the d - partment of engineering mechani s, has been offered the chair of civil en- gineering at Johns Hopkins University according to reports received from Baltimore. Prof. Tilden yesterday ac- knowledged that he had been ap- proached by that university and had been there consulting with the univer- sity authorities and men on the engi- neering staff. He however stated that he has not as yet accepted the offer. The salary connected with the Bal- timore professorship is $5,000 and as this is considerably larger than the present salary of Prof Tilden, it would not be much of a surprise if he should accept the position. Many flattering offers have been previously turned down by Prof. Til- den. Four years ago he received an offer from Harvard University and two years ago he refused a good gov- ernment position at Washington. Since the latter offer the chair of engineer- ing mechanics was created at Michi- gan with Prof. Tilden at the head. Prof. Tilden became instructor in civil engineering at the university in 1904 and was made assistant profes- sor of civil engineering in 1906. In 1908 he was made junior professor of civil engineering remaining in that position until 1911 when he was plac- ed at the head of the department of engineering mechanics.

Seven manuscripts were handed in by the women, displaying various styles of plots. The play is not of the usual comedy type, but is a light drama with a clever plot. The setting is an imaginary land, dealing with a castle romance. Miss Nicholson is a member of the Painted Window staff and last year edited the famous "come-back" num- ber of the Gargoyle. Her play will he presented for the senior girls on April' 2 and at the woman's banquet April The committee of selection compris- ed: Dean Myra B. Jordan, Prof. H. A. Kenyon, of the French department, and Irene Bigalke, '14. Fresh Lits Must Pay Class Dues Today A matter of great importance to all fresh lits is the first annual class dues collection which will occur today. Col- lection will be made in the main cor- ridor of University hall from 7:45 un- til 5:00 o'clock, the amount of the tax being fifty cents. It should be noted by all '16 men and women that right of franchise in class elections during the four college years is only granted by the constitution to those whose dues are entirely paid to date. CHICAGO MEN WILL DEBATE HERE TONIGH Only Competition Left Between Tv Institutions Since the Break With the Conference. DELTA CHI PETITION. MICHiAN lHERE ONLY DEFEATED ONCE BY WESTERNERS DEFEAT Combined committees for the Junior hop met at the Alpha Delta Phi house yesterday afternoon and discussed nu- merous important details of the event. Refreshments will be served in better style than ever before. The slowness of serving has been criticised at all previous hops, and the committee has made special arrangements to make the affair beyond criticism in this par- ticular. The contract will soon be let to a Detroit firm, instead of theblocal caterer, who has previously handled the business. The petition of the Delta Chi to be given permanent representation in the hop was discussed and defeated on ac- count of a technicality in the constitu- tion. The hop constitution says in this regard that no fraternity shall have permanent representation in the hop until it has been recognized as a lit fraternity in this university for at least .five years. The Delta Chi has been represented in the hop management for about 18 years, but sentiment in favor of its being incorporated was defeated because it is recognized here as a law fraternity. The com- mittee recommended to future hop committees to give the Delta Chi booth space. Although at a previous meeting of the committees it was decided to make the musical clubs recital informal, the committees decided yesterday to make it a formal affair. The combined glee and mandolin clubs will give the an- nual recital as usual on Thursday ev- ening preceding the hop. Independents who expect to attend the 1914 event will meet at the Michi- gan Union at 4:30 o'clock this after- noon. Definite arrangements will, probably be made in regard to the din- ner before the hop at the Michigan Union and the formal party at the Packard academy on the Saturday ev- ening following. Law Examination Schedule is Altered Owing to s change of plans in the new law department the examinations schedule has been altered. Bills and notes has been interchanged with Bailments and carriers, so that the latter comes the first Monday at 2:00 o'clock, while the former will be held the second Tuesday at 8:00 o'clock. Mining law will be given the first Monday at 8:00 o'clock. Last Year's Grad Leaves Single Life. George M. Humphrey, '12L, was mar- ried in Saginaw on Wednesday night to Miss Pamela Starr, daughter of a lum- berman of that city. After graduating from the law department here Mr. Humphrey went into his father's law office and later was taken into part- Locals Have Won Ten Out of Fifteen Contests With Visitors in Debate. Chicago and Michigan meet tonight in the only competition left between the old rivals since the conference break--the annual debate in the Cen- tral league. The contest will be stag- ed in University Hall, with Gov. Wood- bridge N. Ferris acting as presiding officer. Michigan has only once been defeat- ed at home and has won 10 out of the 15 forensic contests in which she has met Chicago, but these battles are al- ways bitterly fought, and the keenest rivalry is shown between these natur- al. rivals of the west. The varsity team is in the best of shape, and in the opinion of Prof. Trueblood will, at the least, give a very creditable account of itself. The Michigan men will speak in the following order, both constructively and upon rebuttals: Lyman S. Hulbert, '14L; Bartel J. Jonkman, '14L; and Paul B. Blanshard, '14. None of these men have had any intercollegiate de- bating experience, as have the mem- bers of the other team at Evanston, but all are talented speakers, Blan- shard winning the university Peace Oratorical contest just before the hol- idays. The Chicago team is made up as fol- lows: Wilber A. Hamman, '14L, who has represented Maryville College in debate; P. K. Cook, '15, a debater with a reputation upon his campus; and Sherman A. Conrad, graduate school, who three times led the Colgate Uni- versity debating team. This year's question in the Central Debating League is "Resolved, that the plan of banking reform proposed by the National Monetary Commission should be adopted by Congress." The negative varsity team is also debating it at Northwestern university tonight. The judges tonight are Prof. J. A. Leighton, of Ohio State University; and Judges J. A. Barbour and L. W. Morris, of the northwestern cir- cuit court of Ohio. Gov. Ferris, who is to preside, will arrive in Ann Arbor this afternoon and be entertained by President Harry B. Hutchins. Oratorical Association membership tickets will admit to the debate, and single admission will be 50 cents. The debate will start at 8:00 o'clock. TEAMS WHICH WILL DEBATE TONIGHT 4 Upper cut-Cielgo team. Left to right: Cook, Hanimman, and Contad. Lower cut-Michigan team. Left to right: Hulburt, Jonkman, and Blan- shard. Michiganda and Culture, two former Michigan Union operas, talked on how a man could get somewhere in the world. Wilkie Collins, '05, who has been writing for English publications, spoke of the possibilities and import- ance of the Michigan Union in this university life. He stated that the big English schools were now going through that stage from which Mich- igan has just emerged, the stage of organization and centralization. A. J. Whitmire and H. W. Dotter- weich, both instructors in the school of music, furnished the musical pro- gram of the evening. They played a number of violin and piano duets. Faculty Men to 'Dine at Union Today. Members. of the zoological staff of the university will hold a luncheon at the Michigan Union this noon, and tonight members of the mineralogical faculty will dine at the same place.
