If you haven't seen the double page
by Leach in this issue of the Gar-
goyle, your soul is dry and dead. At
least, you have the opportunity of
changing, for a few moments, the dull
gray horizon, of two weeks' distance.
The IVL .a. write-up tells us that the
Six Military Dancers hold the stage
for 20 minutes, so their .terpsichorean
cfforts are not mean. We're going on
the stage. We danced for three hours
once.

By the way, somebody on the Ma-
jestic stage will think they have an

write-ups in the D. Daily. We enjoy'
reading them because of their close
resemblance to the old army game.

LAy PLNS FOR BRANCH
OFrAMEICANLEGION
K. WARREN IEINICI,'16E, WILL
IAVI: CIARM'E OF FORMATION
OF LE(GlON.
Plans are being formulated to es-
tablish a university branch of the
American legion, a military organiza-
tion. The legion embraces thousands
of men at present who'are engaged in
various trades. In a recent campaign
in New York alone 10,000 men enroll-
ed in a week, and 5,000 in a similar
campaign which was held in Detroit.
The American legion was formed to
enroll the names of all such men
qualified either by previous military
training or technical experience, and
who will express their willingness to
respond in case the government should
at any time need their services.
The membership of the legion is
divided into two classes. The first
contains those men who have'had pre-
vious experience in the army, navy,
n!arine corps, national guard or the
state naval militia. The second class
contains those men who are trained
in the various vocations that are use-
ful in the conduct of modern warfare.
There are 80 divisoins in this class,
such as engineers, carpenters, saddle
makers, aviators, etc.
The following communication vas
received from the legion's headquar-
ters, pertaining to the establishment
of a branch at Michigan: "The work
of the legion should appeal to all
Michigan men, and it is earnestly
hoped by those in charge of the or-
ganization that it will receive their
active support and assistance in the
attainment of the objects for which it
was formed."
K. Warren Heinrich, '16E, officer in
the United States navy, has charge
of the formation of the branch here,
Those (esiring to send in their appli-
cations may obtain them from him at

Leap Year Da ce
Is NOW'e Success
Feature Dances and Grouping of th
Couples Was Novelty of
Affair
Well, the Leap Year party is all over
With its numerous and varied feature
it has passed into history. But wha
features it did have! They ranged
from the special music of Fischer's
Augmented Banormne orchestra to the
special efforts of the committee t
keep the party up to the expectatiom
which its name suggested. And te
succeeded.
To top the list of feature dances
came the one which necessitated the
hampered picking of a partner on the
part of the men. They lined the girls
up at one end of the hall, and spread a
large strip of canvas over their faces
to keep their identity a secret. And
then they turned the young men loose
to pick a dancing partner. It was a
great success.
Then they passed out numbers for
each couple and placed duplicate num-
bers in a box. One of the chaperones
read the numbers as they were taken
from the box and the couple which
held the last number read received a
large corsage bouquet of violets. It
is needless to say which member of the
couple kept the violets. It was a leap
year party.
Everything that was possible to aid
this social debut of the young women
of the campus was done by the com-
mittee. They prepared special refresh-
ments. They allowed the women to
make their own programs, realizing
the advantages which this would give
the women, and they even allowed
them to lead a poorly picked partner to
the wall, to sit it out."
But the committee went one step
farther than even the most optimistic
could have anticipated. They secured
spring weather for the party and al-
though there was rain in the air, it
felt like spring anyway. "In the srping
the young man's fancy-" quoted one
member of this committee-it must
have been "Bill" Newton,-and at once
the weather man in Washington was
apepaled to. -
That was about all there was to it
that differed from the ordinary Union
dances-unless you had happened to
look close enough to perceive the ques-
tion that was on everyone's face. The
young women and the young men alike
would glance at each new couple, and
would seemingly ask, "Did she ask
you or did you ask her? Did you ask
him or did he ask you?" But by the
time that 2 o'clock was reached, this
had been forgotten. It didn't matter
then who had done the asking, they
all had been there and had been satis-
fied. The Leap Year party was a
fine affair.
MYERS AND PICKARD TOP LIST

'18L, stood second on the evening's
total scoring. Their points numbered
2649. The turnament will be discon-
tinued until next semester, starting

Union Dance 'Tickets Sold Rapidly
The tickets for tonight's Union
dance were sold in a record time, just
23 minutes elapsing between the time
the first one was sold until the last
one was pushed across the counter.
The record time is twenty minutes,
but the rule requiring the presenta-
tion of Union membership tickets at(
the time of the purchase caused the
extra two minutes on this sale.

CDL. LA GARDE TO SPEAK
*HERE ON F OUNDERS DY'
Exercises on Tuesday, Feb. 22, Will
Celebrate Sixty-Fifth Year
of Medical School
1 Colonel Louis LaGarde, U. S. A., has
been secured as the principal speaker
for the "Founders' Day" exercises tc
' be held in Sarah Caswell Angell hall
on Tuesday evening, February 22. He
has chosen for his subject "The Dum-
Dum Myth." These exercises will
celebrate the sixty-fifth anniversary
of the founding of the medical school.
The portrait of Dean Victor C. Vaugh-
an, by Gari Melchers, which was fin-
ished last month, will be presented to
the university at that time as the gift
of the alumni of the medical school.
Colonel LaGarde was born in Louis-
iana. He was educated at the Uni-
versity of New York, and received his
M. D. degree from that institution.
He was in charge of the base hospital
at Siboney during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, and is at present in charge
of the army medical museum at Wash-
ington.
Further arrangements for the exer-
cises have not yet been completed.
Dr. A. M. Barrett, who is chairman of
the program committee, expects to be
able to announce the complete pro-
gram within a few days.
Penn Starts Campaign for Ground
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 21. - The
Pennsylvanian, the student publication
of the University of Pennsylvania, in
the last issue began a campaign for the
purchase of additional land to be used
as athletic grounds for the university.
It is maintained that Franklin Field
is at present much too small for the
candidatesof variousathletic teams
that wish workouts, and that at times
when the Varsity has the field, it is
dangerous to attempt any practice. The
university is in possession of a beau-
tiful tract of land along the Schuykill,
and it is thought that if the proper
pressure be brought to bear upon the
trustees, the land may be opened up
for athletic purposes.
Penn Rowing Master Has New Scheme
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 21.-Coach
Joseph Wright, Pennsylvania's new
rowing master, intends to give every
candidate for the crew a thorough
workout and trial' on the water, as
well as on the machines. The coach,
when seen today in regard to the re-
port that he was intending to allow
all the candidates a trial in the shells,
said that he did not believe the work-
outs in the machines a sufficient proof
of one's ability, and that he would
not reduce the squad until each man
has had a fair trial on the Schuykill.
jIo Prograidi at Union Sunday Afternoon
Because of the proximity of exam-
inations and the time the study for
these is taking, the Union program
committee has announced that there
will be no Sunday afternoon programs
at the Union until next semester, when
some more big men will appear.
Owing to the difficulty in securing
workmen to construct proper stands
for the cases, Prof. E. H. Kraus will
be unable to give the promised exhibi-
tion of cut and uncut gems and pre-
cious stones.
Prof. Kraus has collected more than
150 specimens of cut stones which he
will use in the course entitled "Gems
and Precious Stones," which will be
given for the first time next semester.
Every type of stone in general use
today will be amply illustrated in the
new course by a number of specimens
as they appear in nature as well as by
a number of rut stones. This course
is intended to be chiefly a cultural one
and will consist of lectures and dem-
onstrations. It probably will be given
at 9:00 o'clock on Mondays and Wed-
nesdays. If there is sufficient de-
mnand laboratory hours will be ar-
ranged later on in the year.
Michigan is the second university in
the United States to introduce a
course of this kind. Columbia Uni-
versity was the pioneer in the field,
having introduced one two years ago.
K. Warren Heinrich, '16E, chairman
of the marine exhibit to be held here
on May 17 and 18, received the follow-
ing communication from Secretary Jo-
sephus Daniels yesterday in which he
is notified that preparations are al-
ready being made by the U. S. N. de-
partment for the exhibit to be held
here.
The letter reads as follows: "The
navy department has taken the pleas-
ure in referring your request to Com-
mander R. K. Crank, U. S. N., chief
in charge of the eastern recruiting
district, with specific instructions tc
prepare as complete an exhibit of ord-
nance materials used in the U. S. N.
as it is practicable to assemble and
exhibit, and to instruct the ofilcer in
charge of the local recruiting district,
headquarters at Det'oit, Michigan, tc
co-operate with you in the matter of
the exhibit."3
Union Needs lMen to Assist in Work
The union is still in need of men to
aid in sending out the copies of the
"Campus News Notes" and the Uni-
versity Bulletin tothe thirty thous-
and alumni of Michigan. The pur-
pose of these bulletins is to aid the
Union building cause and it is es-
sential that they get into the mails
within a few days. All men willing
to help are asked to report at the Un-
ion this morning.
SELECTLEADING MEN
FOR 'MENAECH MI'UCSTE'
"Tbe Menaeclimi" the First Play to Be
Given in Original Latin Since
Year 1890
R. Clarence Hunter, '17, and Henry
Hoch, '19, will take the leading roles in
the elaborate presentation by the Clas-
sical club of "The Menaechmi," by
Plautus, on March 30, at which time
the Classical conference will convene
in Ann Arbor. Rehearsals are now
being carried on under the direction of
Pauline O. Emerson, '16.
The Classical club will spare no
expense in the production of the first
play to be presented in the original
Latin at the university since 1890. The
scenery, depicting a Roman street
during Plautus' time, about 264 B. C.,
will be painted in New York, especially
for the performance. The costumes are
to be elaborate and expensive and his-
torically correct in every detail. The
members of the cast are being trained
in Plautaean accent and gestures. The
Latin comedy is to be so revived that,
if it were possible for Plautus himself
to see the play he would believe that
it was being presented by actors of
his own time.
Between acts the music will be
furnished by a chorus which will sing
Greek lyrics, accompanied by original
Greek music. Try-outs for the chorus
will be held the first week of the sec-
ond semester. The exact date will
be announced later.
There will be an entire male cast,;
as it is the desire of the club to pre-
sent the comedy as near like the orig-
inal presentation as passible. The
cast is as follows:
Menaechmus I,.....Henry Hoch, '19
Menaechmus II, .....R. C. Hunter, '17
Peniculus, ......... George, Wilner, '17
Eroti-um.. .......Lewis Waldo, '18
Cylindrus, .... . ... M. S. Tolochko, '19
Messenio,.....Ralph M. Carson, '17
Matrona,.......John B. Barker, '16
Senex,.........George Robbert, '16
Medicus,.....W. Gilman Davidson, '19
Ancilla.........Charles Wilner,, '19,
The Classical club will resume its
meetings for the year on Thursday;
February 17 at 7 P. M. in room A,
Memorial hall.

'Y' PUSHES COURSE
ISALESMANSHII
Employment Bureau Co-operates Wit
Large Concerns to Get Summer
Jobs for Students
REQUEST MEN TO SIGN UP EARL'
In an effort to start a spirit on th
campus of more work and more mone
during summer vacation, the "Y" en
ployment bureau is pushing the sales
manship course offered by outsid
companies.
Philip C. Lovejoy, '16, employmern
secretary, says that every fall ther
stream into the department office near
ly 1000 men who are in search of wor
to obtain them their living expenses
Many of these fellows have been o
the campus before and have gone ou
during the summer on some meage
proposition which barely netted ther
their tuition fee.
To overcome this deficiency, the "Y"
Hopes to make men sure of their abil-
ity to make money. They have a desire
tc get an education and come to Ann
Arbor willing to do any sort of. work.
They lose a great deal of time and
are not as successful as they might be.
So, it is thought that if boys in the
summer could find work which would
give them a clear $250 the problem of
the unemployed student would be par-
tially solved in the fall.
To this end,'the "Y" announces that
it is co-operating with several con-
cerns in placing money-making jobs
before Michigan students. One of the
companies had 219 men at Valparaiso
university signed up for summer work
before December 25, 1915.
One prominent varsity debater and
orator m'ore than pays all his expenses
with money earned every summer
through one of these companies.
Courses in salesmanship are being
offered by these companies and not
by the "Y" as previously announced.
The men who want summer work are
asked to sign up early. The bureau
has already placed nearly 50 men,
