ING GUN IN BIG
AMPAIGN
TOE
Automobiles seem to have had quite.
a fascination for a man calling him-
self C. L. Robbins~ who, up until 10,
days ago, was an employee of a local,
taxicab company.
Robbins, according to papers which
he carried with him, had spent four
years in the engineering college of
the University of Chicago in prepara-
tion for a position as an expert auto-
mobile mechanic. He was hired by
the local firm abqut two weeks ago
and was put in charge of a Buick
model 37 livery ear.
In four days, Robbins and the car.
had disappeared, and it was not until
a few days ago that the machine was
found .by another employee of the
local taxi company, deserted and with-
out gasoline but otherwise unharmed,
in a Detroit street.
Now the Ann Arbor and Detroit po-
lice are looking for Robbins, and the
local taxicab firm is not hiring any
more drivers on presentation of col-
lege diplomas."
Robbins lived at 1117 Church street
during his stay in Ann Arbor, but no
one at that address seems to know
anything about him. He is said to
have claimed that he was going to
enroll in the engineering college of
the university.

FINAL EFFORT ON OCTOBER 30
Reports received from the Michigan
Union's campaign committee indicate
that the work of raising $1,000,000 for
the new clubhouse is progressing rap-
idly, with every man enlisted in the
cause confident that the huge sum will
be raised before the final rally on
October 30.
Banquets, mass meetings and
smokers are being held in all of the
cities where headquarters have been
established, and the task of rounding
up every Michigan alumnus in each
district is being accomplished with a
thoroughness that seems to insure the
success of the project.
Salt Lake City 'held a monster meet-
ing last night, and the Springfield, Ill.,
committee is planning to outdo all the
others on Saturday, when every for-
mer student of the university in .that
section of the. state has been invited
to atend the Michigan rally.
Detroit, Chicago and New York are
holding several meetings each week,
with a round of dinners and smokers
to keep the enthusiasm of the workers
keyed up to the highest pitch, and the
committees in the other cities are
planning novel features to instill
"pep" into the Wolverine gatherings.
It is the general plan to increase the
frequency of the meetings in each city
as the work is carried on; gradually
working up to a climax in "Concen-
tration Week," when daily meetings
will be held during the supreme effort
of the campaigners to reach the mil-
lion-dollar goal.
The next general report asked of all
committees will probably be called for
about the middle of the month, al-
though the exact date has not been
set.
The most complete report yet re-
ceived comes from Newberry, Mich.,
where the local committee announces
the enrollment for life membership of
every Michigan alumnus in the dis-
trict. This promises to be the best'
performance made by any committee,
but with every man devoting his
whole time to the campaign, several
other districts threaten to finish close
to the 100 per cent mark.
Going into effect at once, according
to an announcement made yesterday
by Dean M. E. Cooley, are several im-
portant changes in the faculty of the
engineering college. John C. Parker,
'01, comes from Rochester, N. Y., to
head the electrical engineering de-
partment. Prof. Parker, who was
formerly employed with the Rochester
Railway and Light Co., succeeds Prof.
G. W. Patterson, who has been trans-
ferred to a position at the head of
the engineering mechanics depart-
ment. Prof. Parker is a member of
the American Society of Civil Engi-
neers and of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers.
Mr. E. L. Eriksen and Mr. R. S.
Swinton, '10, are new appointees in
the engineering mechanics depart-
ment. Mr. Eriksen hails from the
University of Copenhagen, and has
been employed with the C. P. R. R.
Mr. Swinton has taught in toe Uni-
versity of the Philippines and has
been engaged in various government
engineering works. The appoint-
ments of both of these men are made
to fill the vacancies left by the resig-
nations last June of Mr. H. R. Lloyd
and Mr. H. F. French.
Prof. A. R. Bailey, of the civil engi-
neering department, has been given
a leave of absence for one semester
in order that he may continue his
valuation of the electric railroads of
New Jersey, which he is carrying on
under the direction of Prof. H. C.
Anderson.
Mrs. C. B. Green, former clerk in
the office of the secretary, has been
given the title of assistant secretary.
PAUL BLANSHARD, '15, TO GO
TO INDIA AS "Y MISSIONARY
P. V. Blanshard, '15, who has been
for the past two years a Rhodes schol-
ar in England has announced his in-
tentions of going to India this fall
with another fellow student as mis-
sionaries for the Y. M. C. A. Blan-
shard was interested in the. Y. M. C.
A. movement while in the university.
Plan to Remodel South Wing of U Hal
Now that the zoology and botany
departments have moved t'o the new
Natural Science building, the south
wing of University hall Is to be re-
modeled and used by other depart-
ments.
Plans are now being drawn up at
Superintendent Marks' office and it is
expected that by the first part of next
semester, the alterations will be com-
plete.
Former Student Becomes City Editor
Reuben Peterson,, Jr., '14, has been
appointed city editor of the Pough-
keepsie Evening Enterprise, Pough-'
keepsie, N. Y. Peterson has been as-
sociated with this paper for the past1
year. While attending the university,'
Peterson was a reporter on the Mich-a
igan Daily.
With sales aggregating more than
$500 since its beginning the latter
part of last week, the Y. M. C. A.
book exchange promises to become
a regular feature of the service work
of the
According to Everett Judson, '16E,
manager of the exchange, the only
thing which prevents the exchange
from serving the entire campus is
that the men in the law and medical
schools have failed to turn in their
books for exchange, and probably $400
worth of business has been turned
away during the past few days be-
cause of this fact.
Statistics which have been compiled
each night show that the exchange has
been used more by the men enrolled
in the literary college than by any
other school or college in the univer-
sity. At present there are a number
of rhetoric books on hand for dis-
posal, and a large collection of the
texts used in several of the language
courses are available:
The comhmittee which has supervi-
sion over the exchange wishes to an-
nounce that the book counters in the
Y. M. C. A.- building on State street
will be open today anld tomorrow be-
tween the hours of 1:00 and 8:00
o'clock, and that books may be left
for disposal at any time during these
hours.
PROFESSORS TO HOLD
STUDIES IN RELIGION
Heads in Greeknand Semetics Will
Offer Sunday Morning
Lectures
Prof. Leroy Waterman, head of
the department of Semitics, and Prof.
Campbell Bonner, 'head of the
Greek department, have been secured
by the Episcopal church to. give two
courses in religious study in Harris
hall during the coming year.
The course which will be offered
by Professor Waterman is entitled,
"The Bible as a Book of Life,-Its
Origin, Structure and Power." Be-
fore coming to Michigan this year,
Professor Waterman spent some time
at the University of Chicago in re-
search work, and the content of the
course will be along the line of his
recent endeavors.
Professor Bonner will give a course
in "Comparative Religion." This
course will be conducted along the
same lines as last year.
Both classes will meet every Sun-
day morning at 9:00 o'clock in Harris
hall, and any men interested in either
of the classes will be cordially wel-
comed.
Two Assistants Join Pharmacy Faculty
Two new assistants have been added
to the staff of the school of pharmacy,
Ray C. Brown will be the assistant
in pharmacy. and Henry N. Oellrich
assistant in food and drug analysis.

Workers of the Cornelius Council
have decided to begin a personal cam-
paign to raise Cornell's alumni sup-
port to the highest possible efficiency.
The Council has at various times col-
lected large amounts of money for
special purposes and has now en-
rolled 4,800 out of 27,900 alumni as
life subscribers at an average of $10'
annually.
One of the big things that the Cor-
nellian Council is doing is the build-
ing of the new dormitory D. Out of
its annual income from annual sub-
scriptions, the Council has pledged a
sum of $10,000 yearly toward the cost,
until the building is paid for.
