GLEE CLUB MEMBERS
APPEAR FOR LAST TIM[E
Final Glee and Mandolin Club Concert
of Year to Be Held
Here June 1
With Chase P. Sikes, '16, and Leroy
J. Scanlon, '16L, appearing before a
University of Michigan audience for
the last time, the Glee and Mandolin
clubs will give this year's final con-
cert on June 1 in Hill auditorium. The
program that the clubs used on their
trip to the Pacific coast will be given,
with the addition of several new of-
ferings.
Chase Sikes will bid the campus
adieu with "Clan Alpine,' the war
song from "The Cross of Fire." Leroy
Scanlon will tinkle several selections
on the Steinway and throw in a few
voice accompaniments on the side.
Among th new offerings will be a
vaudeville sketch of incidents of the
western trip, featuring a robbery
which occurred in Montana when
thieves went through the train in
which were the sleeping musical
clubs and made away with six watches
and three pocketbooks.
The mandolin club sextet has re-
fused to play anything but ragtime
during the performance. Their syn-
copated music has been declared by
competent judges to be the best dance
music ever produced and they will
be allowed to give profuse demonstra-
tion of it at the June entertainment.
Lantern slides of 40 views photo-
graphed on the vacation trip have been
made and will be shown at the con-
cert.

Concrete Driveway to Be Bunt Be
tween Medical Building and
East. University Avenue
With the completion of the beauti-
fication work on the State street front
of the campus, and the construction
work on the new mall between the
Natural Science and Chemistry build-
ings, the plans of the department of
buildings and grounds for campus im-
provement this season have started.
A new concrete walk has already
been constructed along the East Uni-
versity side of the campus between the
surveying building and the new addi-
tion to Waterman gymnasium, and
some time during the early part of the
summer a driveway will be built be-
tween the Medical building vehicle
entrance and the avenue. Later when
the driveway has been curbed off grass
will be sown on the east side of the
building.
The vacant place back of the Law
building and south of the Natural
Science building will not be improved

until the asphalt part of the diagonal
walk between the Law building and
the Economics building has been re-
placed with a concrete one. The new
wvalk probably will be built this sum-
fner, and improvement work on the
northwest part of the inner campus
will therefore be delayed until that
job is completed.
New stairways will be built in both
halls of the north wing of University
hall this summer. Four of the rooms
on the third and fourth floors in the
south end of the wing were recently
remodeled,.and it is probable that aft-
er the new stairways have been con-
structed the interior of the whole
structure will be repainted.
A number of bare spots on the cam-
pus have been graded and resown with
grass seed this spring, but on account
of the large amount of construction
work now in progress or to be started
this year a considerable part of the,
lawn has been left untouched.
According to an officer of the de-
partment of buildings and grounds,
less destruction to the campus lawn
has been done this year than for a
a number of years past. The im-
provement work, it was said, will
continue in proportion to the amount
of care which students and others use
in keeping off the grass, because a
large part of the amount of money
which the department has each year
for improvement purposes generally
goes for repairs, and little therefore
is left for beautification in' the way
of plants and shrubbery.

Michigan national guard will be at
