The dance Is given by the men who were at the engineer- ing camp last summer. According to all indications, the in- terclass track meet to be held in Wat- erman gym on Saturday night, will be the biggest affair of its kind ever giv- en at Michigan. About 180 men have already signified their intention of en- tering. As the entry list will be open until tonight, the total should be swell- ed considerably before the meet is called. Because of the large number of men entered in the quarter and the half, In- tramural Director Rowe has decided to hold preliminaries in these events to- morrow afternoon. The number of en- trants in the mile run is, as yet, not large enough to warrant trials. The quarter and half-milers will run be- tween the 3:15 o'clock and the 4:15 o'clock gym classes, and between the 4:15 o'clock and 5:f5 o'clock classes. The 35-yard dash has about 50 en- tries. The men will be run in heats Saturday, the winners qualifying for the finals. The other events on the program have not proved as popular, but the list is large. The pole vault seems to have been especially slighted, as only 8 men had entered up to yes- terday. The "dub" meet last year attracted only 182 men, and as the total num- per of entries for the class meet had almost reached that number yesterday, this year's eivent will surpass the for- mer meet in numbers. The winners of the first three places in eacn event will receive class numerals.' "We would be utterly confused if war were to break out suddenly," is the startling statement made recently' by Congressman A. P. Gardner, who is to lecture at the Whitney theater next Monday night, March 15, on "Safety First-Is America Prepared Against War." Mr. Gardner goes on to say that people are careful about attack- ing the man who can defend himself, and nations are just as discreet before deciding to pitch on a country which has adequate defenses. "At the pres- ent time," he observes, "the United States is not in a satisfactory position to repel an attack." In making an attack on militarism yesterday, Prof. J. A. C. Hildner, of the German department; said, "If war is a madness, and a good many think it is, it is the business of education to lead men in the direction of sanity and not in the direction of pathologic- al states of mind. If war is a virtue, all upright and honorable men ought to promote it." Professor Hildner said that he was against military training, especially at this time, because the, craze for it has been greatly augment- ed on account of the present war. "But I am not in favor of disarming," said Professor Hildner, unless some agree- ment is reached by the great powers." Seats for Mr. Gardner's lecture are now on sale at Wahr's, the Union and the Whitney theater, at 35 cents each. Prof. A. H. Lloyd, of the philosophy department, will deliver a lecture or the subject, "A Modern Superstition' in St. Andrew's church this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. This is the first of a series of three Lenten vesper talks, Thursday afternoons. Tomorrow afternoon Prof. R. M. Wenley will give the fourth of a series of talks on the general subject, "Relig- ion,-A Need in Common Life." All students in the university are invited to hear both lectures.

Y., March 9.-Ten e events will be held in Saturday's track encounter between the locals and Michigan, with no definite provision for a relay. Last year's meet between these two colleges hinged upon the outcome of the relay, and the event may be added to the present program. Michigan's entries have not been re- ceived as yet, but are expected today or tomorrow. Coach Keane has enter- I ed a flock of athletes in each event, and - if numbers are indicative of anything, , the westerners need not even put in 1 an appearance.

Wright, instructor in English in the engineering college, to the 50 students who assembled to form a club to study socialism, in the Adelphi rooms last night. Mr. Wright said that the especial purpose of the or- ganization should be to create a criti- cal attitude among the students. Samuel Witting, '15, was elected provisional chairman, and was given authority to appoint a committee to draw up a constitution and 1 select speakers for the coming meetings. Doris Robinson, '15, was appointed provisional secretary. DI-SCUSS MILITARY TRAININGTONIGHT.

The senior laws beat the fresh medics, 24 to 15, and the junior engineers took the measure of the architects, 33- to 23. The first year lits won their game in the first half in which they.garner-' ed 16 points. The scoring star of the game was Drummond of the 1918 lit' team who caged six baskets. Captain Perry showed up best for the sophs, shooting two baskets and three fouls. The lineup and summary: Fresh lits (25) Soph lits (14) Drummond.......F ........Perry Brown..... . F...

Karl Mohr, '15L, has been chosen to act as presiding officer. In view of the present European, war, and the consequent agitation for an increased military force in the United States, this question is expect- ed to draw- a large crowd to the ses- sion tonight. The petition for military drill which was presented to the re- gents, and then tabled by the board, shows that there is sentiment on the campus in favor of such drill. Prob- ably an equal number of students, however, are opposed to such action, and a number of issues should be pre- sented. The subjects previously announced for discussion in case the main topic is exhausted, are as follows: "Is the General Elimination of Student Drink- ing Desirable?", "What Should Be Done to Stop the Exit of Talented Fac- ulty Men to Other Universities ?", "Is the Athletic Association Performing Its Function Satisfactorily, and with Due Regard to the Rights and Conven- iences of Students?", and, "Is the Present System for Election of Class Officers Satisfactory?" At the second faculty night held at the Union last night, the front room was crowded with students who at- tended the get-together. About 200 students from various colleges and schools on the campus were present during the evening, and those in charge.stated that the meeting was en- tirely successful. Prof. C. H. Cooley, of the sociology department, said, "I enjoy an opportu- nity to meet students of all depart- ments on a social basis, and this meet- ing furnishes such an opportunity. The meetings are well worth while." "I have always felt the lack of asso- ciation with my students," stated Prof. R. T. Crane, of the political science department. "Johns Hopkins, where I was a student, furnishes better oppor- tunities than Michigan through its de- partmental libraries, where students and faculty work together. These meetings serve to bridge this gap be-. tween students and faculty." Prof. I. L. Sharfman, of the political economy department, said, "The fac- ulty nights are well worth while, and should be continued." "I enjoyed the evening immensely,"' said Prof. F. N. Taylor, of the .polit- ical economy department. "The meet- ings are a good thing, and should be continued."
