"PEANUT POLITICS" TO BE ABSENT The remainder of the class elections will be held this morning. This will include all freshmen classes and the junior and soph lits, whose. elections were postponed from last Saturday on account of the trip to Columbus. Keen competition is expected among the soph lits as all of the principal offices are contested by many. The junior lit election will be less interesting be- cause for some of the offices only one person was nominated. Freshmen elections have special campus promi- nence this year because most all of the first year classes have followed the suggestion of their upperclassmen and have begun their political careers by declaring in favor of clean politics. All of the classes are looking for a heavy vote and hope that the abolish- ment of 'peanut politics' will have an influence in this direction. The elec- tions will be held as follows: Junior lits, 9:00 to 12:00, west phys- ics lecture room; soph lits, 9:15 to 12:15, Tappan hall; 'fresh lits, 9:15 to 12:15, Tappan hall, second floor; fresh engineers, 9:15 to 12:30, room 311; fresh laws, 9:00 to 12:00, room B; fresh medics, 12:00 to 12:30, second floor, east hall; fresh homeops, 11:45 to 12:00, medical building, lecture room, third floor; fresh dents, 10:00 to 11:00, junior technic room; fresh phar- mis, chemical building, 9:15 to 12:15, room 303. SENIOR GIRLS INAUGURATE SERIES OF UNION DINNERS. Dean Myra B. Jordan's annual re- ception to the senior girls was held yesterday afternoon in Barbour gym. As has been the custom in the past the party partook both of business and pleasure. Committees Were appointed to select the play to be given by the senior girls this yea'r, and to arrange a program for a series of parties and socj' eents to bring the members of class more closely together. An 4nnovation was introduced when it was decided to hold the dinners at the Michigan Union during the rest of the 'college year. The first of these will take place two weeks from tonight. TAU BETA PI INITIATES , ELEVEN AT BANQUET. More than 50 were present at the fif- teenth initiation banquet of Tau Beta Pi engineering honorary fraternity, held last night at the Michigan Union. Toasts were responded to by Profes- sors H. C. Anderson, H. J. Goulging, and V. H. Lane, and J. L. Crane, '13, J. A. Wde,''13, and Manley Osgood, '1. Eleven men were initiated last night: Prof. W. T. Fishleigh of th faculty, and the following seniors: J. W. Follin, W. A. Grove, E. M. Howell, T. F. McGiv- ney, R. McMath, N. K. Sheppard, C. M. Smith, S. R. Truesdell, J. 'A. Wade, and C. E. Wolfstyn. Kalamazoo Students Form Club. Eighteen natives of Kalamazoo met at the Union last night for the purpose of forming an organization of Celery city men. Lester F. Rosenbaum was appointed temporary chairman and named a committee of three, R. C. Loughead chairman, andtER.eM. Mum- ford, and D. K. Strickland to prepare1 WILl1 In accordance with a provision in the regulations of the blanket tax sys- tem, by which any student may be ex- cused from paying the $5.00 athletic fee on petition to the regents, 24 re- quests of this nature were considered by the board of regents at its meeting yesterday. No definite action was tak- en on the matter, and the petitions were referred to the board in control of athletics for personal investigation. Most of the petitions asking for a refund of the athletic fee averred that- the petitioners were incapacitated for competition in athletics, or were un- able for various reasons to enjoy the privileges of Ferry and Palmer fields. Inasmuch as the blanket tax resolu- tion as originally passed by the regents is particularly liberal in regard to stundents unable to pay the required fee, it is probable that most of the pe- titions will be acted upon favorably at the next meeting of the regents. The provision in the blanket tax res- olution upon which the petitions re- ceived yesterday were based, reads as follows: "Provided, that if any student feels unable to pay such amount, he or she may have an opportunity, with- out publicity, to be excused therefrom by petition to the board of regents." TICKETS FOR FOURTH UNION DANCE ARE ALL DISPOSED OF The fourth of the series of the regu- lar Saturday night dances at th Mich- igan Union will be held this evening. All tickets were sold by 10:00 o'clock yesterday morning. The chaperones for the party this evening are: Dean and Mrs. N. F. Hoff and Mrs. J. A. C. Hildner. INTER-SOCIETY LUNCHEONS ARE FOUND I3LPRACTICABLE The inter-society luncheons, which were recently planned to be given jointly by the various campus honor- ary societies, have, for the present, been called off. Arrangements were made by representatives from each so- ciety to hold these luncheons at regu- lar intervals at the Michigan Union. But it now seems that the Union dates are so crowded that the members would find conflicts and would have too much on their hands. If, however, at any future time a sufficient number of organizations wish the luncheons, they will be provided by the Union management. SPECIAL STUNTS FEATURE SOCIAL AT NEWBERRY HALL A special program has been arrang- ed for the joint gathering of the Y.M.C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. in Newberry hall tonight at 8:00 o'clock. Several of the Japanese students under the auspices of the Cosmopolitan club, will perform some of the 'stunts' that were offered in vaudeville this spring dur- ing the jubilee. Besides this there will be other features of equal merit sup- plemented by the usual 'good eats.' Dean Cooley Exammies Property. Dean M. E. Cooley has been asked by the state railroad commission to look over the valuation list of the physical property of the Grand Rapids railway. The dean will give expert opinion upon the correctness of the various esti- mates contained in the repot. Total vote cast........... Roosevelt .............. Wilson ............ .

Sanders was granted a leave of absence for the second se- mester, providing that suitable substi- tutes could be providedto care for his classes during his absence. Prof. Sanders expects to go abroad to do original research work. Elect Museum Associates. Messrs. Swayles and Andrews of De- troit, and C. K. Dodge of Grand Rap- ids were elected associates in the mu- seum. This is an honorary position,. awarded to notable naturalists. Burt E. Quick was appointed Whittier fel- low in botany. Provision was made for the admin- istration of the James L. Babcock scholarship fund, for students inter- ested in music. A petition from the faculty club ask- ing that the regents set aside a trust fund with which to build a clubhouse for the organization was refused. In turning down the proposition, the board reiterated its stand against in- vesting trust funds in collateral uni- versity organizations. Routine matters concerning the fin- ishing of the Hill auditiorium occupied * * * * * * * * * * * * Unusuatlly heavy voting characteriz- ed the straw ballot contest yesterday, more than 300 votes being cast. Wilson still retains his lead, but Roosevelt again made a cut in its size, so that the .former college president is but 12 votes ahead of the Bull Moose leader. The positions of the rest of the candidates are unchanged, but inclinations point to the advance of Debs to third place unless the -Taft supporters intend cast- ing a large vote for him on the last day. Votes from three new states and four foreign countries were cast yesterday, making a total of 36 states that are represented, as well as six nations. The departmental vote remains about the same, the lits are first in number of votes cast, the engineers second, while the laws are third, the medics fourth, and the faculty fifth. The dents, graduates, pharmics and homeops fol- low in order. Roosevelt leads in the lit, engineer- ing, medic departments and the fac- ulty, while Wilson is ahead in the oth- ers. A feature of the vote yesterday was the appearance of a solitary ballot for Bryan. Several ballots were thrown out yesterday because some students insist on voting more than once. More votes were rendered worthless, due to the fact that no state was given. The name of the voter, his home state and department must be signed in the proper place on the ballot, or the votes are void. Fraternities, sororities, and rooming houses where there are several stu- dents to one paper may send in their complete votes on a single sheet of pa- per, provided that the other conditions of the contest are lived up to. Musical Clubs Want Recruits. Men desirous of trying out for guitar positions on the mandolin, club may make arrangements for special exam- inations by applying to I. E. Lattimer, '13E. The glee club is in need of more tenors, and men wishing to try out for these parts are requested to call up Richard Simmons, '13L, to secure spe- cial tryouts. The resignation of James A. Crai professor of Semitics and Hellenistic 'Greek in the university since 1893, was received by the board of regents at its meeting yesterday afternoon. The res- ignation was accepted with an expres- sion of regret on the part of the re- gents. Although no definite reason is given for Prof. Craig's action, it is under- stood that fear of a nervous break- down caused im to sever his relations with the institution which he has ssrved so faithfully for nearly 20 years. The resignation did not come altogeth- er as a surprise,following Prof. Craig's recent ill health, but it was generally expected that he might continue his duties after an extended leave of ab- sence. About two weeks ago Prof. Craig suddenly left Ann Arbor, giving rise to a rumor that he had mysteriously dis- appeared. The story proved unfound- ed, he having gone to Toronto where his two daughters are in school. At the time it was announced by Presi- dent H. B. Hutchins that ,Prof. Craig had asked for a semester's leave of ab- sence which had been granted. During his long service in the uni- versity, Prof. Craig was one of the most popular teachers on the campus. He was recognized as an especially capable instructor in the Semitic lan- guages and literatures, and in Hellen- istic Greek, and he had written sever- al scholarly treatises in his line of work. Dr. J. Leslie French was appointed by the regents as acting assistant profes- sor of the Oriental languages to take the place of Professor Craig for tile present semester. A permanent suc- cessor will probably be chosen at an early date. R GENTS GRANT MANY DEGREES-.
