ENGINEERING SOCIETIES FAVOR
IMPROVEMENT OI GYMNASIUM
Vulcans and Web and Flange Vote'
Better Accommodations and
Sanitary Measures
For
es
Vulcans and Web and Flange, socie-
ties of the engineering department,
passed resolutions to the board of re-
gents on the gymnasium question yes-
terday. There are now five campus
societies which have expressed them-
selves similarly, the other three being
- Michigamua, Druids and Sphinx.
The resolutions of the engineering
societies are identical. The text of the
an club, measures follows:-
k. "To the board of regents of the Uni-
higan Un- versity of Michigan:
"Gentlemen:
o'clock. "In view of the fact that the accom-
modations of the university gymnasi-
um have become wholly inadequate
for the use of the present large stu-
Ldent body, and that the condition of
the shower baths in the gymnasium is
extremely unsanitary, we most re-
spectfully petition you for increased
gymnasium facilities."
It is understood that several other
on Listen campus societies, including the legal
Y organizations, will meet during the
next two days and take similar actions.
REPRESENTATIVES OF COLLEGE
ORGANIZATIONS PERFECT PLANS
Michigan Union Shown to Have Cov-
ered Widest Field; Place Hoontz
on Executive Board
P. D. Koontz, '14-'17L, president of
the Michigan Union has returned from
Columbus, O., where a meeting of rep-
resentatives of the leading college
unions of the west was held. A per-
manent organization was effected to
be governed for the present by an ex-
ecutive board consisting of President
F. M. Hall, of the Wisconsin Union,
Oliver Gossard, of the Ohio State Un-
.ion and P. D. Koontz of the Michigan
Union. It was decided to have the
details of the meeting printed in pam-
phlet form and sent to every college
union in the country.
Ohio State, Oberlin, Wisconsin,
Case, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia,
Purdue, and Michigan were represent-
ed at the gathering.
In the discussions held, it was
brought out that the Michigan Union
enters into more activities and provid-
es more advantages for its members
than any other of the unions repre-
sented.
Next year's meeting will probably
be held at some college farther west,
thus making it more central for all
of the representatives.

trip to Detroit last Saturday to get
ideas for their act from the dancing
of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle. Hugh-
es takes the woman's part.
Leon Cunningham, '16, who took a
leading part in the 1914 Union opera,
has written a skit for the show, called
"Hyancinth." The setting is worked
up around the character of, a female
impersonator who gets into no end of
complicated situations. Walter De,
Lano, '17, will take the feminine role.
Gerald Strong, '15D, is organizing a
special orchestra which will be com-
posed of the leading campus musi-
cians.
Distribution of tickets to members
of the Union, upon presentation of
their membership cards, will be con-
tinued during the rest of this week.
The admission charge to non-members
and townspeople is 25 cents.
Select Committee for Weekly Dance
Donald M. Sarbaugh, '17L, will act
as chairman of the membership dance
to be held at the Michigan Union from
9:00 to 12:00 o'clock Saturday night.
Other members of the committee are'
Donald C. Davidson, '17E, W. L. Wat-
son, '17E, and Clarence K. Patterson,
'17. Pasteboards for the affair will be
on sale at the Union desk at 5:00
o'clock this afternoon.
Plans for a campus-wide member-
ship campaign are nearing comple-
tion sin the hands of leaders of the
Michigan Union- Boat club. Until the
holidays open, all efforts are to be
spent in publicity and in stirring up en-
thusiasm, and at the close of the holi-
days an active campaign is to be made
in all departments and among the fac-
ulty.
Although the membership canvass
was slated to commence Monday, De-
cember 7, unforeseen re-arrangements
in the managership forced a postpone-
ment of that date. It is now deemed
best by those in charge to use the re-
maining days before vacation in rous-
ing interest, and to start the actual
work soon after the holidays. One stu-
dent in each department is being se-
lected to have charge of a large com-
mittee from his respective department
to cover every man in that section of
the campus.
W. L. Watson, '17E, is chairman of
a Boat club committee which is making
public all available Information on
resuscitation, with the cooperation of
the university health service under Dr.
H. H. Cummings. About 5,000 pam-
phlets on the subject have been receiv-
ed from the state officials at Lansing,
and these are being distributed among
the student body. Copies will be giv-
en out at the "Spotlight vaudeville"
at Hill auditorium next week, and at
other occasions.
Prof. Gram Enters Mayo's Sanitarium
Prof. L. M. Gram, of the engineering
department, who has been ill since'
last July, is at present in Rochester,
Minn., where he will enter the Mayo
brothers' sanitarium.
