Editor, Michigan Daily:-.- There seems to be sucft a genera misunderstanding as to rules of the :Michigan Union governing dancing that a statement of the Union polic seems called for. When the Union some time ago abol ished certain objectionable forms o dancing, generally described as th "clutch hold," and, also, put the tango under the ban at the regular Satur- day evening assemblies, it was intend- ed that this regulation should apply only to Saturday evening assemblies. Chief among the reasons for taking this action were that with the hall crowded, as it us ually is Saturday evenings, the tango is a nuisance, and, also, the regula- tions for dancing in mixed gatherings, such as the Saturday evening assem- blies ought to be more strict. When private clubs andhsocieties hire the hall for a dance, the Union insists that they have a chaperon.. They choose their own chaperones and make their own regulations. In other words, the policy and the regulations governing the Saturday evening danc- es apply only to parties under . the direct control of the Union. (Signed) EDWARD G.

SQUAD GETS INTO SHAPE FOR TRIP An all university Cane Day, to be inaugurated soon after the spring re- cess will be' the latest addition to Michigan customs it the plans prppos- cd by the carious cane committees reach maturity. The event will prob- ably consist of a parade similar in some respects to swing-out, with all seniors in the departments, wearing the walking sticks, participating. No definite date can yet be set, however, as all the consignments of canes have not arrived. According to present indications on- , ly the literary, engineering, law and dent departments will be represented as these are the only ones who have adopted the cane as a senior emblem. Chairmen of the committees in these departments are enthusiastic over the idea and there is little doubt but that the event will take place. "Cane Day is an excellent idea," said Morley Griswold, '13, chairman of the literary committee, "and I am doing all in my power to make it a reality.

LEAVE FOR LEXINGTON FRIDAY, Primed for either outdoor or indoor work, Michigan's Varsity baseball} squad is putting in its last hard licks of practice before the squad journeys southward for the annual spring com-1 petition with the Dixie college nines. If real spring atmosphere abounds, as it did yesterday, Ferry field will be the scene of their gambols, but if the weather is inclement, the Varsity dia- mond exponents will be penned in the Waterman gymnasium cage. Coach Branch Rickey has narrowed his squad down to almost final form, and on this week's showing the def- inite selection of men to make the southern jaunt will be based. Four- teen players will probably be chosen to wear the Michigan uniforms on the trip, but this number may be varied at the last minute at the coach's dis- cretion. Critics who have watched the weeding out process believe that Rickey will select fourteen men, and that fourteen will be chosen from the following list of players: Pitchers-Sisler, Quaintance, Bari- beau, and Metcalf. Catchers-Rogers,Hippler,and Web- ber. First base-Pontius, Stewart, and McQueen.; Second base-Duncanson and Hug-f WiIth the Exception of High Jumpers and Pole Vaulters All Athletes Leave Gym. WINNING RELAY TEAM EXPECTED Provided with the first permanent signs of outdoor weather, Varsity and fresh track candidates responded to the call of trainer Farrell for Ferry field practice. Only the hiih-jumpers and pole vaulters failed to put in their appearance as they must remain in the gym until the landing pits have dried sufficiently to admit of their use. From all present indications, it' is certain that Michigan will be repre- sented at the Pennsylvania relays by mile and two mile teams. The project of taking a four mile quartet instead of the two mile has finally been abandon- ed because of the impossibility of find- ing four efficient milers. Several years in the past Michigan has invaded the east with a mile squad that on paper seemed to have first honors at the Franklin field classic nailed down securely. The situation will be the same this year as trainer Farrell has developed a quartet of 440 men that if judged by comparative records, seem the superior of the East. Haff,.Baier, Craig, and possibly Plummer will constitute the mile team. Ferry field will by no means present a deserted appearance during the spring holidays as Trainer Farrell will ask all the relay men, including the freshmen, to stay over and put in their time getting into shape for Penn relays on April 26. BRIDGE TOURNAIMENT TEANS plays to a point insuring productions of a high class. The number of' tickets is limited and women wishing to attend should pro- cure admission cards immhediately at the table in the east corridor o the general library. Tickets have a' eady met ,with a rapid sale but several re- main for both performances. With specially designed scenery and costumes the plays are ready for the boards. The music, most of which was written by Earle V. Moore contains several hits some of which will be featured by quartets. Other features will be introduced including a fancy dancing number. Both plays were written by junior women. HICHIGAN UNION I)ANCES TO CONTINUE DURING VACATION' Regular membership dances will be held at the Union on the two Satur- day nights during spring vacation. They will be conducted on the same plan as the dances during the. semes- ter. Tickets will go on sale for this week's dance tomorrow afternoon at, 5:00 o'clock as usual and for nextE week Thursday April 10, at 5:00} morning. The river was thoroughly searched- from the fatal tail race to the ' old bridge, by scores of students in ca- noes with grappling irons attached, while the race ittelf and the chambers under the power house were explored by the diver,. The seekers were not forced to return empty handed, as sev- eral pieces of clothing worn - by the victims of the calamity were found. Find Clothing in River. The coats of the two students were picked up about a quarter-of a mile down the river from the scene of the tragedy, and an oxford shoe, worn by Crandall was picked 'up about a hun- dred yards from the railroad bridge. they were at once identified by rela- tives of the victims, who were on"the scene. Also a Thermos bottle, that had been in the canoe, was discovered about 200 yards from the spot where the frail craft was overturned. Relatives of the victims were on the scene early yesterday, remaining until the last canoe had returned to the boat house. Crandall's father ar- rived Monday night, and Bacon's two younger brothers were on the river all day, while an uncle of Miss Rysdorp led one of the parties engaged in drag- ging the river. Although heartbroken because of the suddenness of the dis- aster, all joined in expressing a hope that the bodies would be 'recovered during the week. "The accident pros- Crated my parents," said Francis H. Bacon last night, "and my brother and I persuaded them to remain at home during the search. We will stay here until the bodies are found." Throng Haunts Scene. The general impression now held by all those engaged in the search is that the remains of the victims have been carried beyond the old bridge. Previously it was thought that they might be found under the power house or in the mill race, but as a result of the search yesterday, everyone is in- clined to believe that they have "been carried below the points where the search has thusfar been confined.
