BER USA Taxi Man With Higher Education' and Fondness for Cars Disappears CO NFIIN C E FELT BY NO OKR HALL DINNER 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. HOT OFF THE COLLEGE WIRES . 0 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. * * * Students of Columbia university will be enabled to do research work at Sing Sing and other prisons, in and about New York City, through the adoption of a course in practical pen- al problems.
