VETERANS APPEAR FOR WORKOUT Track Squad Strengthened By Addition of Ufer and Murphy Clarence Ufer, the miler on last year's track squad, reported to Coach Farrell for work this week for the first time this season. "Dutch" Murphy, the 880-yard man on last year's squad, is ali out, this being his second ap- pearaice The addition of these two men to the track squad completes the list of vet- erans from last season. Although both Murphy and .Ufer failed to win an "M" last season, they scored many points for Michigan during the year, and their return to the squad promises to strengthen the team materially. From present indications the 440- yard dash promises to be the chief worry of the coach in the track events. The graduation of Phil Jansen, the crack quarter miler on last year's ag- gregation, leaves a big vacancy. John, who showed considerable promise dur- ing the early part of last season, but JANUARY NUMBER OF STUDENT TO BE PUT ON SALE S 1TURDAY Articles By Ohio State Professors, and By Italian Headliners In Next Issue Ohio State University and its profes- sors will feature the January number of the Cosmopolitan Student, which will go on sale here Saturday.

NEW BULLE[TIN TO APPEAR TOMORROW Journal, Prepared by Michigan Union, Will Reach Every Student and Graduate MAY JOIN ALUMNI TO 1 NiVERSITY Editor E. W. Haislip, '14L, of the 1lEALTII STATISTICS OF CAMP AT DOU L AS LAKE GIVEN OUT Report Prepared by Dr. Stouffer Gives Complete Analysis of Water and Sanitation Complete statistics of the health and sanitary conditions at the engineering and biological camps at Douglas lake last summer, are embodied in a state- meat given out recently by Dr. C. B. Stouffer of the university health ser- vice, who had charge of the work at the camp last summer. Besides giving a list of the infec- tions and diseases which were treated during the summer, the report empha- sizes the need of more staple and per- lanent quarters for the mess, and the lack of a kitchen house, in which to pack ice, so that foods may be kept in cold storage. At present there is no suitable method for keeping foods fresh, and this accounts for sickness caused by eating foods which became spoiled. The waters used in the camp have been test-ed, and all have been pro- nounced fit for drinking purposes, ex- cept the water from the lake, which is not used unless boiled first. The different details of sanitation -were accomplished by a sanitary com- mittee, composed of Dr. Stouffer and several students, who were assigned to work with him for a week at a time. Certain rules of sanitation were made, and strictly enforced through- out the summer.

Webster debating society will meet tonight in its rooms in the law build- ing to select its members of this team. This is the first time that the faculty of the oratorical department has tried the new system of representatives in which there are six men selected from each of the four literary societies. This gives an opportunity for more men to take active part in the compe- tition and also gives the try-outs the advantage of direct faculty supervis- ion. The team of 24 members will be heard from time to time and gradu- ally reduced to the required size of six men. VACATION BASKETBALL LEAGUE PROPOSED FOR HOLIDAY WEEKS To A rrange Inter-Department Sched- ule if Enough Show Interest Provision for those unfortunates who cannot get home for the Christmas holidays are already being made byi the intramural department, in the form of a vacation bas.ketball league, to be made up of teams entered from the dif- ferent departments, which will play on a percentage basis to determine the holiday department championship.
