WIDELY VARYI NCONDITOS UR11E1) AGAINST PROPOSAL Dean N. Cooley Who Stared Idea Says lan Has Worked in His Department. Members of the faculty are not all unanimous in their opinions on the advisability of holding all-freshmen assembles. Departmental gatherings of first year men meet with the hearty approval of the deans of the literary and engineering departments, but they are not so strongly in favor of holding meetings for all university freshmen. "I am heartily in favor of freshmen assemblies," said President Harry B. Hutchins yesterday, "and I would like to see some plan adopted whereby all freshmen could participate in them.{ Departmental assemblies seem to be the most feasible and would be a+ great aid to the men in meeting their classmates, but general gatherings1 for all freshmen could probably be held at less frequent intervals." Dean John R. Effinger of the liter-+ ary department feels that owing to the1 widely varying conditions in the differ-3 ent departments, an all-freshmen as- sembly would not be advisable. "I am heartily in favor of asemblies for. the freshmen of the literary and en- gineering departments," he said lastc evening, "and I believe these gather-c ings would prove valuable in working up a healthy class spirit and depart-I mental rivalry. In the law and medi-t cal departments the first year menl are older and usually have had someI college experience, so that a generalt assembly could not easily be made tot appeal to them. Meetings for the sen-v iors, who have more in common, would1 in my opinion be a better plan. WhileI University Hall is large enough to ac-t commodate freshmen assemblies, thef new Hill Auditorium will prove in- valuable in holding university con-A vocations as provided for by the sen- ate council." "Our freshmen assemblies have been a splendid success," said Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, "and after twoo year's trial have proved their wprthi both to. the students and faculty. I do not see how better results couldv be obtained by having all freshment meet together. It would be very diffi- cult to prepare a program whicho would benefit and interest them, andA In my opinion the time to try and in-b culcate a real university spirit in them should come after they know thee members of their class." Discontinue Dartmouth Medical Schoola Dartmouth's medical school, theg fourth oldest in the country, is to be discontinued after the graduation of c the class of 1914. The lack of clinical work, due to the school's isolation in ae little New Hampshire village, is as-t signed as the reason for this action.s The school was founded in 1798. s THE WEATHER MAN Forecast for Ann Arbor-Fair,cooler and continued dry.

SCENE OF RESEARCH Scienists Granted Permission by South American State to Carry on Investigations. PARTY 110 LEAVE JUNE 1r. { Word has been received by Prof. Alexander C. Ruthven, curator of the museum, that the government of Co- lombia has granted the museum expe- dition permission to enter the country, and make its investigations. The De- partment of State, which has been car- rying on negotiations for the party, has been notified that the South Amer- ican government has instructed the officials at the ports to extend every courtesy to the expedition and to ad-~ mit their equipment and baggage free of duty. The party will sail from New York about June 15, returning some time in September. The members of the party will be Prof. A. G. Ruthven,Prof. A. S. Pearse, of the University of Wisconsin, and Frederick Gaig, an assistant in zoo- logy. Mr. Brandt Walker of Detroit will finance the expedition. The region to be studied is in the Santa Marta Mountains, Colombia. 'Mr. M. A. Carriker, formerly a resi- dent of Michigan and now owner of a coffee plantation, will meet the party at the seaport of Santa Marta with a pack train, and take them at once to the plantation which will serve as a base of supplies. The party will be prepar'ed to spend several months in the study of the animals of the coun- try, and will make an attempt to in- vestigate the conditions from the sea level to the summit of the mountains. It is the intention of the expedition to secure a large number of specimens for the museum. ADELPII FA VOltS lI0(NOR PLAN. System as in Use at harvard Endorsed After Discussion and Debate, The Adelphi Literary society went on record last night as unanimously in favor of an honor system. The formal debate on the question was led by Werner Schroeder, '14, on the affirmative, and Floyd Young, '14, on the negative. A general discussion of the question by the entire society followed, the chief bone of contention being the tattling clause. The system which the society favor- ed provided for the following pledge to be written by each student at the end of his bluebook: "I pledge my honor as a gentleman that I have neither given nor received aid during this ex- amination. I have seen (x) cases of cheating." If any cases of cheating are observed, the class votes as to wheth- er or not it wishes to continue under the honor system. This plan has been successfully used in Harvard Univer- sity. WOLVERINES ARE READY FOR FRAY WITH CORNELL This afternoon Michigan and Cor- nell will hook up in the annual dual track meet held this year at Ithaca. Press reports from the Wolverines state that Trainer Farrell marshalled his 19 charges safely into the New York college town, and has his men in the pink of condition for the fray. Whether Michigantcan repeat the showing made against Cornell in the indoor competition held at Ann Arbor, without the service of Captain Haff is a question. It is expected by Wolver- ine backers, however, that the Maize and Blue athletes will take the meet, though probably by a close score. There are several events in which Michigan is sure of taking points, while in a number, Cornell's chanc- es are the best. But on the whole, paper predictions seem to point to Michigan as the winner. BULGARIANS UST Mir on T'A K E TURK CAITAL Prof. J. R. Allen Writes That Capture of Constantinople is Necessary t to Peace. SUPLIES COITUEAM) HIGH PRICES According to Prof. J. R. Allen, whoq is at present in Turkey, organizing andt building Robert College near Constan-I tinople, it will be necessary for thet Bulgarians to tak Constantinople be-t fore an actual settlement will takeN place. The letter to Dean M.E. Cooleyt follows in part:t "The war situation is still a veryr complicated one, and it looks quite probable that before an actual settle-i ment it will be necessary for the Bul- garians to take Constantinople. N.w that Adrianople has fallen thD Bul- garians are bringing all their forces and siege guns up to the Chatadjad lines, and with this increased force it is quite possible that they will break through the lines. Already many of the Turkish families are moving out of Stamboul into the country, fearings that such a thing may happen. If it should happen, Constantinople will probably be made an international port, and the last foothold of Turkey in Europe will be gone. The govern- nent is still very active in its mii- ;ary preparations, but is tremendous- y handicapped by lack of money. "We are suffering now very much or lack of coal, oil, and other supplies that have been declared contraband of war. At present I am paying $7 or $8 per ton for coal that is not worth oer 5 cents, but we are keeping every- thing running in the hope that some- hing will happen before the end of his month."r The letter which was dated April 8, vas received a few days ago. As condi- i ions have not changed much since 3 he letter was written, it is expected D hat Prof. Allen will be able to carry w mt his plans for leaving for home the C niddle of the month. W l'IIREE STUDENTS TO BREAK s FENCING TIE THIS MORNING p . A. J. Matteson, '14, A. A. Ruthstrom, 5 13E, and K.

Rtottschaefer of the eco- nones department received a letter from Senator Vordier of the 2:ichigan legislature yesterday, assuring him that the franchise bill was passed by both houses. It is practically certain that the governor will sign the meas- ure. Having his signature, the bill will be submitted to the people in the November elecion in 1914. Immediately after the fall elections, agitation for the enfranchisement of students was started by W. H. Hamil- ton and Mr. Rottschaefer. The presi- dents of the various political organi- rations of the campl~us were called to- gether, and an or -anization was form- ed. At first it was intended to secure immediate er ranchls<:aent, if poss- ble, by the ordinary procedure of a bill through the legislature. This5 method was found to be unconstitu- tional, and a new bill was originated which proposed to submit the question to the people whether an armendument to the constitution should be made or not. Representative Murphy of Denton ilarbor consented to introduce the bill in the house; but it was consider- ad better to have the bill pass the sen-l ate first. Senator Verdier offered to put it before that body. It was intro-1 duced in January, and when it finally came before tre senate, it was amend- d'and passed to include members of1 he legislature while in session. It -came before the house only a short time before adjournment last (Continued on page 4.)r INFIRMR LN 3r. Elsie S.

The soph-fresh lit game was a dif- ferent tale. Carpenter of the '16 ag- gregation and Tolles of the '15 nine boh twirled good games, the former having a shade the better of his older rival. The freshmen outplayed their opponents and went down to defeat through a mistake in judgment, when they jerked Carpenter in the fifth after he 'had filled the bases to let Clancy try and pull his men out of the hole. The new twirler failed to locate the ruober before he had given , free trip to three batsmen, forcing in the three runs that made the balance of a 6-5 3 ore in favor of the sophs. Bsoth teams played fast and heady I ball throughout the contest, but the youngsters were the best bet of the two until their fatal misstep in the, fifth. For the '16 men Matson behind the bat was the star. The husky lad's legs to second kept the sophs in check at many timcs, and he was also strong with the willow. Shutes was the star .ase runne of the game, the stocky fr 3hman plunged around the bases ce;in gthem of their protectors in regular football style. He never hes- tated to buck a baseman off the line Shen the man was the least bit in his way. Sonior Laws Hold Banquet Tonight. Senior laws will hold their annualI k,-quet at the Ailenel hotel tonightl t 6:00 o'clock. Members of the law aculty and class will speak. Tickets re selling for $1.50.l Sisler, Michigan's heavy-hitting port- side heaver, is slated to oppose Case on the Ferry field diamond this after- noon in an endeavor to keep the sea- son's record of no defeats on the home lot untarnished. Whether Sisler will succeed or not will depend on the brand of baseball that Case puts up. The plucky little Cleveland team usually displays first class ball playing on Ferry field, and it is possible that there may be a warm battle before Michigan finally takes the contest. Case comes to Ann Arbor with five veterans on the team, among which number is Belchonbek and Kemp, veteran battery men, and Fran- cy and Oschlager, reputed heavy hit- ters. The Cleveland team confidently expects to give Michigan a tough ar- gument for supremacy. Coach Rickey has hit upon a combi- nation that he thinks will stand the racket after the past several weeks of experimenting, and it is probable that the lineup he will send against the visitors today will not differ from that used in Thursday's game except as to first base. Case will use the following combi- nation: Bradley or Bagley, rf, Francy cf, Kemp c, Ochschlager 2b, Stuck ss, Clemens If, Beckman 3b, Belchonbek or Smith p. Michigan's lineup will undoubtedly be: Cory or Sheehy lf, Baker ss, Bell of, Sisler p, Rogers c, Webber rf, Me Queen 2b, Hughitt 3b, Pontius lb. METALLURGISTS TO VISIT DETROIT CONCERNS TODAY. Prof. Albert E. White's class in Met- allurgy will leave this morning on-the 6:57 train for Detroit to visit the lead- ing industrial companies in the city. More than 80 students will avail them- selves of the opportunity. The party is expected to return on the five o'clock train. Among other plants the party will visit the Ford Automobile Company, the Detroit Steel Company, the Michi- gan Seamless Tube Company and the Michigan Malleable Company. TO SELECT CAST NEXT WEEK FOR SENIOR WOMEN'S PLAY Parts will be cast for the senior women's play next week from the wo- men who are taking the course in Dramatic Technic under the direction of Prof. R.

A. Strauss and Hollister. The play will be presented during commencement week. STUDENTS MUST ABANDON HISTORIC SWIMMING HOLE FINDS CURE FOR SLEEP HABIT IN ONE O'CLOCKS Cheer up, you one-o'clocker! The' solution to the problem of keeping awake these drowsy, droning after- noons, directly after a rather injudi- ciously sized lunch, has been discov- ered. Mr. W. D. Moriarty, instructor in English in the engineering department, noticed that his 1:00 o'clock classes had a powerful tendency to contract noditus capitorium. Becoming dizzy from the wave effect of rising and falling craniums, he tried the experi- ment of holding recitations on the lawn, The innovation worked like the patent medicines which were put out of commission by the pure food law of June 30, 1906, were supposed to act. And as a result, his 1:00 o'clock class- es have regularly asembled in a shady spot near the engineering building. Everything is informal. Some sit in Indian fashion, while others at-I tempting to get real near to nature, try the Walt Whitman method of sprawling out at full length. But all signs of drowsiness are minus quan- tities.
