INFORMALITY TO BE FEATURED
Preparations have been completed
for the fourth faculty night to be held
at the Michigan Union, at 7:30 o'clock
tonight, for faculty members of the
history and English departments, and
for "any student in the university who
wishes to get better acquainted with
these men.
Among those who have been invited,
and who expect to attend, are: Profes-
sors L. A. Strauss, J. S. P. Tatlock,
and F. S. Gingerich, of the English de-
partment; in the history department,
Professors C. H. Van Tyne, A. L. Cross,
and E. R. Turner. Many others of the
faculty of the two departments have
also signified their intentions of at-
tending, according to C. H. Lang, '15,
and L. K. Friedmann, '15, who have
been appointed to take charge of the
affair.
Three previous affairs have been
given respectively for the civil and
mechanical engineering, the econom-
ics, and the rhetoric departments, and
each of the gatherings has been a
markedesuccess according to the men'
who attended.
Informality will be emphasized at
the rest of the meetings of this, sort,;
no speeches or program being previ-
ously arranged. Much of the time will
be spent in introductions.
Minnesota Club Will Admit Women
Minnesota students introduced a new
method of dealing with the fair sex
as to membership in state clubs at a
meeting at the Union last night. A
unanimous vote of the members pres-'
ent made all Gopher state women hon-
orary members of the club. Election
of officers resulted as follows: presi-
dent, John F. Scott, '16L; vice-presi-
dent, Levi M. Hall, '15L; treasurer,
Nathan A. Cook, '17E; secretary, Jos-
eph F. Boyle, '15L. A social commit-'
teV will be appointed to arrange for
a smoker to take place some time be-
fore the spring holidays.
Coach Sends Squad to Ferry Field in
Preparation for Drake
Relay Races
CHICAGO MAY PROVE BIG RIVAL
Active outdoor training for the Drake
relay races began yesterday after-
noon when Coach Farrell hustled his
charges onto Ferry field for the first
time this season.
The squad consisted for the most
part of candidates for the two possible
relay teams which will be sent to Des
Moines. A few others were on hand,
although outside of, the milers and
half milers, the number was extreme-
.ly limited. Those who were absent,
either through the lack of an invitation
or for other reasons, need have no
cause for complaint, however, for ac-
cording to some of the tryouts, the
zephyrs that whisked about Ferry field,
felt as though they had all apparently
hurried down directly from the north
pole. The workout consisted of mere-
ly the preliminary jogging.
The performance of the two Chicago
milers who finished first and second in
last Saturday's indoor conference
struggle, and who ran under 4:30 at-
tracted some attention. This excel-
lent showing would indicate that the'
Windy City athletes possessed a pair
of pretty fast milers, and they may!
prove Michigan's big rivals at the
Drake race, if the coach decides to en-
ter a mile team, and this seemps likely
from the present indications.
FRESHMAN TENNIS TEAM WILL
PLAY TWO GAMES WITH TOLEDO
Captain Reindel Endeavors to Secure
Matches with Nearby Clubs
for Early Practice
On the strength of the showing of '
the freshmen in the All-Comers tennist
tournament last fall, two games pavet
already been scheduled for the year-a
ling racquet wielders, each of the con-
tests being arranged with Scott High1
of Toledo. The first match will bea
played in the Buckeye town on May 1,
and the return match is scheduled for
the Ferry field tennis courts at the
time of the Interscholastic meet, May
21.
Tentative plans are now being made
by Captain Reindel to secure matchesa
with tennis clubs near Ann Arbor, it1
being the object of the captain to give
his men a test of actual match playt
before going east. At present the plans
are to schedule the Detroit Tennis club]
for May 5, and the Toledo Tennis club
for May 8. If possible, these and re-
turn matches will be arranged.
FACSIMILE OF CONSTITUTION '
IS HUNG IN UNION HALLWAY
Framed and hung in the hallway of
the Michigan Union, is a facsimile ofI
the original constitution of Michigan,
written in 1835. The Congressional li-
brary has recently presented the doc-I
ument to the local organization.
The picture has three parts; a page1
of the document as it appears restored,
the appearance of the papers in the di-
lapidated condition in which they ap-
peared at the state capitol two years,
ago, and a picture of the cover of theI
book in which the papers have been
filed.!
Choose Alpha Nu Freshman Cup Team
D. W. Shand, '18, H. H. Chapman,7
'18, and J. T. Lett, '18, with H. W. Hen-
dee, '18, as alternate, were the men
chosen to compose the Alpha Nu
Freshman Cup debating team, at aM
meeting held last Saturday night. Thist
team will debate with a team chosen
from the Adelphi on the question, "Re-I
solved that the Federal Government
Should Own and Operate a Merchant
Marine." 3
Prof. Wenley Speaks at Vesper Service
Prof. R. M. Wenley of the philosophy
department will give the last of a se-,
ries of Lenten vesper talks at 4:30
o'clock Friday afternoon in St. An-
drew's church on the subject, "Nature,
Society and the Ideal in Their Mutual
Relations within Religion." This will
be the final talk in a series which Pro- ;
fessor Wenley has been giving on the
general subject of "Religion,-A Need
in Common Life." All interested in
the lecture are invited to attend.
Following a new system of try-outs
and the selection of plays, the Comedy
club will commence on the selection
of next year's play and cast immedi-
ately after spring vacation. Officers
who will set the work afoot, will be
elected at that time.
By the new plan, try-outs will b'e an-
nounced at an early date. Those desir-
ing to enter in the competition for
parts will appear before a committee,
that will assign them parts in some
play. They will then be given three
weeks in which to work on their as-
signed tasks, at the end, of which time
they will enter the first try-outs for
the cast. Those surviving the first tri-
als will have to go through another
session at a later date before being
finally selected.
The prospects for a trip to Jackson
this spring are still promising, accord-
ing to officers of the Jackson club,'
which is cooperating with the dramat-
ic club of the high school of that city,
to guarantee the necessary receipts for
the trip. H. M. Marsh, '15, and Harry
Sparks, '17E, who are pushing the trip
for the Prison city club, have received
no word from there in regard to the
trip, but state that a number of guar-
antors have been secured by those
working at the other epd of the line.

Director Eugene B. Sanger, of the
Michigan Union opera, has been se-I
cured to speak to junior engineers at
their next assembly at 10:00 o'clockI

NAMES SHOULD BE HANDED IN
FOR SPRING TRIP TO CHICAGO
Prof. A. H. White, of the chemical
department, who has charge of the
trip which will be taken during thef
spring vacation by the chemical engi-
neers, said yesterday that although a
large number were planning on taking
the trip, he desires to know defi-
nitely the name of each man who in-
tends to go in orderto determine the
number of outsiders who desire to ac-
company the party.
Places of interest to all students of!
chemistry or engineering will be vis-
ited in the vicinity of Chicago.
Prof. JI. Levi Lectures at Ypsilantr
Prof. Moritz Levi, of the French de-
partment, lectured last night at Ypsi-
lanti on, "The French Drama of To-
day." A group of clergymen, and pro-
fessional and business men were pres-
ent at the talk.
FORUM TODISCUSS'
STRAIGHT MEASURE
Meeting tomorrow to Canvass Student
Sentiment on Conteniplhted
Five-Mile Act
HOUSE CONSIDERS BILL TODAY
It is felt by some of the student body
that the question for discussion at the
meeting of the Forum at the Union to-
morrow night, "Is the Adoption of the
Straight Bill Desirable?" is a new one.
As far as Michigan is ,concerned, the
question is new, but 16 states now
have such a law. Prof. Dean Clark,
of the University of Illinois, stated that
the consumption of lijuo t Cham-
paign had decreased 75 per cent since
the passage of the act.
Harry D. Parker, '16L, will act as
presiding officer at the meeting, and
will give a brief resume of the topic
before the discussion begins.
This discussion should be of particu-
lar interest, in view of the fact that
the bill will be reported out of commit-
tee today for action on the floor of the
House of Representatives at Lansing.
TO END RELAY STRUGGLE TODAY
Pharmics and Junior Engineers Battle
for Campus Championship
With the pharmics and the junior
engineers billed to run against each
other this afternoon for the relay
championship of the campus, the inter-
class struggles will terminate. The
match is scheduled to start at 4:30
o'clock.
Judging from past perform Axces,
the title will go to the pharmics, the
quartet from this department having
hung up the two fastest records that
have been made this season. The
pharmic department is grouped into a
single unit on such athletic affairs,
but Captain Robinson of the pharmic
team points with pride to the fact that
his entire relay outfit is composed of
freshmen.
Initiation for the 13 Junior engi-
neers who were recently elected to the
Michigan chapter of Tau Beta Pi, na-
tional engineering honor fraternity,
will be held tonight at the Union and
will be followed gat 7:30 o'clock by a
banquet in honor of the new.members.
Dean M. E. Cooley and Prof. John R.
Allen, of the college of engineering,
will be among the list of speakers, but
the program for the dinner has not
yet been entirely completed.

'13 LITS PLAN PRELIMINARY
REUNION TOMORROW NIGHT
Plans have been made for a reunion
of the men of the 1913 lit class to be
held at 5:00 o'clock tomorrow night at
the Union. More than 90 cards have
been sent out to Ann Arbor and Detroit
alumni, and it is expected that a large
number will attend the affair.
The reunion is given as a prejimi-
nary for the general class reunion
which will be held in Ann Arbor in

He has already seized from his pock-

The lit may hie to the library and
pull down sundry thick volumes which
he doesn't understand, and pretend
to be steeped in literary pursuits; the
law may bone or ponder, argue or
reason out, at home or down t- but
then there's that five-mile stuff. But
the engineer gets right down to the
practical shoulder-to-shoulder culture;
he craves it; he hunts it down and
lassoes it.
This isn't bunk.
Take the junior engineers assembly,
set for Friday morning, for example.
Are they going to have Prof. Wompen-
bumpus, of Tulane or Valparaiso, lec-
gush on how he happened to corner
his million (two off, ten days-sixty
net?) Are they going to listen to a
common sense talk by a competent
authority on "The Bricks of Egypt," or
"Why a Ten Billion . Dollar Pyramid
Lasts Longer Than a Modern Apart-
ment House?"
No. Nothing like that.
Instead, Sanger, the soujourner in
our midst who knows the theater from
the coop to the pit, and from there on
back, will hand the boiler-makers a few
choice words about it. Get it? They
' are going to listen to a man who is
leagues out of their field-and they're
betting that he can't talk .over their
heads.
