Mfr Stroet PrescrIptlon Spealw Alsts of action was decided upon January 29, when the executive committee of the board of Regnts authorized the engineering department to give the plan a trial. The object of the system is to aid in developing more unity in the dif- ferent courses, botW' in the methods and plan of teaching, and in the body of the subject matter itself. At pres- ent the instructor has certain author- ity to plan, and give courses in the department, and he has his own ideas which sometimes do not conform to those of the heads of the department who are working out something along lines of their own. The teaching ass stant will be a man who has finished his regular course, and is taking advanced work, specializing in some particular branch, and has shown marked ability in that work. He will be especially trained to carry out the plans of the head of the department. The assistant will thus become the mouthpiece of his superior, by whom he has been es- pecially trained. Another thing which it is thought will be of great importance is the fact that on account of salary saved in this way, more funds will be avail- able for professorships, and it will make it possible to obtain men who are not now available. "Of course" said Dean Cooley yes- terday, "it is more or less in the nature of an experiment, although it is not entirely untried for Prof. Zow- ski has had a teaching assistant in hydraulic machinery for the past year, and it has worked out there very sat- isfactorily indeed. In fact, it was this success that encouraged us to believe the present plan could be worked out advantageously in other branches of engineering studies." In accordance with Dean Cooley's recommendation, the executive com- mittee appointed the following teach- ing assistants: Stanley R. Thomas of Ann Arbor and Saul Saulson of Grand Rapids, to teaching assistantships in mechanical engineering for the sec- ond semester. Both of these men have completed their undergraduate work, and have been recommended for their degrees. Both will be laboratory men. Another appointment to a teaching assistantship is F. W Pawlowski of Springfield, O. Ass't Prof. Grenier and Mr. Pawlowski together will teach machine design and machine design theory, and also the theory of gas and oil engines. Mr. Pawlowski has studied avation at Sarbonne, Par- is, which makes it possible to give courses in aviation. He has also been engaged for two years in designing automobile engines, which makes him available in case a course in the de- signing of automobile engineering is offered. CONSERVATION DISCUSSED BY PROF. ROTH AT UNION SIUNDAY "Conservation" was the general sub- ject of .the talk given by Prof. Fill- bert Roth, head of the forestry depart- ment, at the Michigan Union Sunday afternoon. Judge Wiliam Day, of To- ledo, who was expected to address the regular Sunday gathering, was unable to come at the last moment, and Prof. Roth was called upon to express his views especially in regard to the cur- rently mooted question concerning state supervision over conservation. "Since conservation has been active- ly taken up by the federal govern- ment," said Prof. Roth, "the progress made in checking the wanton waste of our natural resources has been highly creditable. There seems to ex- ist no plausible reason why the central government should give up its control over conservation. In the case where the individual states have had charge of this matter, negligence has fre- quently been present,-and indeed, politics are more intimately involved where the state is the controlling fac- tor." 1914 LITS AND ENGINEERS DINE TOGETHER TOMORROW In conjunction with the junior en- gineers,, third'year lits. will dine at the Union tomorrow evening at 6:00 o'clock.

It is expected that the commit- tee will report at the regular meeting of council in the oratorical rooms to- night. Whether the student council, in ac- cordance with its powers will punish the offenders or will turn them over to the faculty has not been decided. At present both faculty and council are cooperating to discover the lead- ers of the disturbance. President Hancock of the council last night made an urgent appeal' or cooperation on the part of the student body. "We want every man who knows anything about the trouble makers to tell us about it," he said. "We can't rout out these men, who have disgrac- ed the 4niversity and done it irrepar- CARRICK THEATRE DETRO1IT LEW FIELDS ALL STAR COMPANY "Hanky Panky" able injury, unless all the students are willing to help us. All informa- tion will be treated confidentially. "The men we are after are those who handled the battering ram by which the gym dlr was broken iin and those who threw the bricks. "The faculty and members of the student council feel that a blot has been put on the universtiy by Friday night's affair and the only thing that can be done now is to discover and punish the offenders." CONSERVATION ATTACHED BY GOVERNOR SHAFROTH (Continued from page 1) We westerners know what is best for ourselves. "All we ask is the same opportunity to ;row and develop that was given the east, south and, north-the condi- tion under which we were admitted in- to the union. The policy, of conserva- tion is unsuited to the development of the country and is an invasion of the rights of the states imposed upon them by the federal courts.'? Governor Shafroth leaves today for Washingtpn, where as senator-elect he will enlist with other westerners in the fight against conservation bills now up before congress. i Coach Rickey Secures New Manager.
