Once more has the Michigan track am demonstrated that the 1913 squad about the best balanced aggregation athletes the Wolverine university s turned out in a great many years.

And this is what counts the cinder path game. Recent Teams Lack Balance. n other years Michigan has had n who have broken records, and in ars long since gone by Michigan has I well balanced teams, but of late teams have not been particularly 11 balanced.

STUDENT SOLONS CONVENE TONIGHT Cheer Leading and Band Questions Come Up For Debate at Council Meeting. To. EXPECT RESULTS OF RIOT PROBE Competitive cheer leader systems and the Varsity band will be the chief subjects for debate at the regular meeting of the student council this evening at 7:30 o'clock, in the orator- ical rooms in the north wing of Uni- versity hall. At the meeting of the board of di- rectors of the athletic association last Tuesday, the petition of the council regarding the matter of cheer leaders was referred back for further consid- eration. It is expected that at this evening's session some definite dis- position of the subject will be made by the student solons. The result of the investigation into the Junior Hop fracas, undertaken by the council, has not yet been made public, and some announcement along this line is anticipated, although it is probable that this subject will not be treated this evening. [t was not the Cornell meet alone at served to bring out this fact. The racuse meet, and the Varsity meet fore it, showed plainly and conclus- ly that with practically the same e of material at hand as composed t season's Varsity squad, Farrell s moulded the men into a first class gregation. And now, with such a 11 balanced team in the field, atten- n naturally turns to the outdoor son and to the Eastern Intercollegi- Won Third Last Year. n the last several years Michigan placed in the eastern classic. Last r she came home with third place her credit. And this was due large- to the efforts of a few men. This son with these same one or two n to depend on, and in addition a ich of real track men to back them there seems to be no reason why higan should not show even better. Taff, undoubtedly among the best lege quarter-milers today, Haim- igh, equally as good in .the two- e, and almost as good in the mile, gent in the high jump, Kohler in shot put and hammer throw and ig in the hurdles, are all good for nts. But there are other men who likely to place this year, and who y make it possible for Michigan to second place in the eastern event, even first. Expect Several to Place. mong these men are Baier, in the ,rter, Brown and Carver in the half, rard, Lapsley and Bond in the ints, and-well the entire Michigan. ad could be named. Under Farrell the men have been doing mighty d work, and they are expected to elop even more when once the team s out-of-doors. rith a well balanced squad already, t a good two months in which to n for the event, there seems no son why Farrell should not take best squad in years to the Eastern I arcollegiate, May 30 and 31. )F.

Michigan may be represented at the Pennsylvania relay races by a quartet of freshmen quarter-milers for the first time since the university has sent teams to the relay classic on Franklin field. Sanction for this de- parture was given by the athletic board of control at its meeting Sat- urday.0 This year's freshmen class is strong- er in 440 men than any class for many years, but that it possesses four men who can run the quarter in fast enough time to make an impression in the East has not been proved. C. B. Smith is the one yearling who has marked ip as good as 52 seconds und- er the observation of Trainer Farrell, and it is claimed by friends of Uffer that he has also made the distance in time as fast as this. It will be up to the freshmen to turn out two other men with ability to come under the mark at some figure close to 52 seconds, if the sanction of the board of control is to be taken advantage of possible candidates men- tioned in connection with the remain- ing two places are Lyttle, Shulkin, Gore, H. Smith and Catlett. SCANDAL-MONGERS REVEL IN CARE-FREE FEST AT UNION. Laying aside their busy pens, and bidding dull care begone, members of The Michigan Daily staff made merry at their first annual dance at the Michigan Union last night. During the intermission a skit, featuring take- offs on the members of the staff, was presented by the "cubs." The decorations, which caused fav- orable comment at the B. V. D. funct- tion, were utilized. A seven-piece or- chestra furnished the music, and sev- eral feature dances were given. Members of the board of control and their wives who were present as chap- erones were Dean and Mrs. J. R. Effin- ger, Prof. and Mrs. F. N. Scott, Prof. and Mrs. W. G. Stoner, and Prof. and Mrs. J.

POiNT Conference Will Probably Act Before Matter of Return to Fold Goes to Meeting of Regents. BOARD OF CONTROL PLEDGES SELF TO ASK FOR ENTRANCE Stone-Wall Would Be Encountered if Regents Declined to Alter Personnel of Body. f Although an official interpretation of the recent resolutions of the board of control relating to Conference re- turn has not been made, it is probable - that the matter will be acted on by the Conference before it reaches the board of regents. The resolution calling upon the Conference to abolish the boycott rule is iron-clad, and is made a contingen- cy to the return resolution. In other words, before the resolution to change the board of control and return to the fold becomes effective, the western or- ganization must abolish the boycott rule. When this is done, the board of con- trol here practically pledges itself to petition the regents for a change in its makeup,and to present a reques tfor re-entrance. Hence the regents here have really the final say on the matter, and the Conference must act first be- fore the matter reaches the university fathers at all. . Undc, these condit ons many inter- esting situations are liable to arise, as for instance if the Conference abolish- es its boycott, and then the regents re- fuse to change the board. Just what would be the outcome of this would be hard to prophesy. COLLECT FUNDS FOR AID OF LITERARY AND LAW STUDENTS Faculty members all over the cam- pus are interested in the proposed adoption of the honor system in exam- inations, and many are actively engag- ed in backing the movement. Several professors in the engineering, medical, and literary departments have ex. pressed much enthusiasm over the plan, but, almost without exception, they declare that an attempt to insti- tute the honor system should originate with the students, no matter how much the faculty might desire it. Prof. C. O. Davis, whose five classes in education adopted the plan last semester, thinks the proper way to get it accepted gen- erally on the campus is to have the dif- ferent classes and the student council pass upon it. Approies of Honor Idea. When asked his opinion of the hon- or system yesterday afternoon, Prof. C. 'H. Cooley, of the economics depart- ment, said, "The work in my classes is of such a nature that I have never, had occasion to be concerned about ex- aminations, but I think it a progressive plan. As a social psychologist, I hear- tily approve of the principle of the honor system, for I consider it a step in the direction of self-government, which certainly is highly desirable. All that I have heard of it is favorabl'/, especially at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburg, where, on my visit last year, I was assured it was a pronounced success."1 Prof. David Friday and Dr. Carl H. Parry, of the economics department, both-endorsed the system, saying, how-, ever, that they had no experience with it in practice. Concerning the scheme, Dr. Parry made this qualification: "There is no compromise between the honor system and the police system. If the honor system is to be made a success,the instructor must make him- self independent of the behavior of the class, and put the students wholly up- on their own responsibility. I shouldr certainly like to see it tried out hereR at Michigan." Students Should Act First. "The request for an honor system should come from the students," de- clared Prof. Henry E. Anderson, of the mechanical engineering department, last night. "No pledge should be asked1 from the student, neither should he TO D E ONSTRATE X-RAY WORK IN PUBLIC LECTURE TONIGHT.

GENERAL SALE LEAVES BLOCKt OF GOOD SEA' "Contrarie Mary" Tickets Meet Fa Heavy Demand on First Day of Distribution to The Public. MANY DESIRABLE SEATS FOR 1913 UNION OPERA REMAIN Tenight's Rehearsal to Put Finis Touches on Long-Heralded Production. Plenty of good seats are left fo the Wednesday and Saturday night pr sentations of"Contrarie Mary," the 19: Michigan Union opera. The sale to th general public opened yesterday, at while there was considerable demaz for tickets, it was not as heavy as e: pected. The sale will continue ever day this week at the Whitney theate box office, between 10:00 and 5:( -o'clock, and it seems likely that eac performance will be played to a capac ity house. There are still some seats left fc the Thursday night show, although:" ranks next to the Friday night an Saturday afternoon presentations i popularity, these two houses bein practically sold out at the advanc sale to members. A lengthy dress rehearsal was held last night at the Whitney theater, and Director Bert St. John was well pleas ed with the way matters went. Ev erything is practically ready for the initial performance tomorrow evening and tonight's rehearsal will serve chiefly to put on a few of the finishing touches.. The early practice and train ing given the choruses has done much to bring about a finished show for the first night, and consequentlytthere wil likely be little difference in the quality of the various performances. The books containing the music o "Contrarie Mary" have arrived, and will be placed on sale as usual, tomor- row night. The first issue of posters has already been sold, and about 200 more will be placed on sale today a Wahr's. All persons connected in any way with "Contrarie Mary," and all active members of Mimes, were the guests o: the Mimes at a dinner at the Union Sunday night. A program of shor talks and several solos were given and the opera songs were rendered by the whole company. The Wedemneyer scholarship fund, which is being promoted by Frank C. Cole, '05L, of Ann Arbor, has been in- creased to $6500. Recent contributions have come from the Rev. P. T. Rowe, bishop of Canada; Ex-Governor Chase S. Os- borne; Senator Charles E. Townsend; and State Treasurer Chas. W. Harrer. The largest amounts so far have been three $100 sums, given by Sena- tor William Smith, Congressman Cop- ley and R. W. Parker. When the con- tributions have been collected, the fupd will be devoted to loans for the use of literary and law students. If possible it will be made available at the beginning of next year.

Ramsdell, '16;treas- urer, Oliver Enselman, '15. be expected to spy upon anyone else. "The idea of the professor putting the plan up to the class is all wrong, but instead there should be a volun- tary agreement between the students, a creation of a higher sense of honor. Such a plan should have the aspect purely of 'honor among gentlemen.' An honor system must depend for its suc- cess upon the existence of a strong sentiment among all the tudents, and the free development of such a senti- ment should by all means be encour- aged." NEED OF SCIENCE BUILDING, INVESTIGATED BY SENATORS The finance committee of the state senate, composed of 0.G. .Scott, '93L, J. V. Rosenkrans, '95L, F. W. Walter, '93L, V. A. Powell, '94L, and E. W.
