Plans for the 1919 J-hop are rap-
idly nearing completion, and the com-
mittee promises one of the biggest
and best proms yet held.
The date, April 4, has received uni-
versal approval, and fraternities are
already preparing their houses for
house parties. Owing to the inter-
val of orie year since the last Junior
party an exceptionally keen interest
in the coming affair is being taken
by the whole student body.
'At a meeting of the executive com-
mittee of the hop Sunday evening, it
was decided that this spring a dif-
ferent method of distributing tickets
would be used. The men in charge
of affairs have been at a disadvan-
tage throughout the year because of
their having had no opportunity to
see a hop last winter which might be
used as a guide. Because of this and
the indefiniteness of the number of
students back in the University it
was proposed and passed at this meet-
ing that all persons desiring to at-
tend the hop should write to Carl
Velde, 1437 Washtenaw avenue, sig-~
nifying their intentions and applying
for a ticket, stating therein their
class and college. All fraternities
will have to make out a list of those
goin, mentioning the class and col-
lege of each individual.
The purpose of this is to allow the
committee to apportion the number
of tickets among the various classes.-
It is believed that as in former
years there will be a greater demand
than supply for admittance and unless
the campus will comply with this re-
quest it will be impossible to devise
a new method of distribution. Al-
though such an application will be
binding to some degree, the commit-
tee realizes that it is too early for
many to be sure of what they are go-
ing to do. The purpose of this, how-
ever, is to list all those who are at
the present time thinking seriously
of attending the approaching hop. The
many weaknesses of this plan are
realized by the men in charge of the
listing, bMit they believe with $he co-
operation of the campus at large, it
can be carried out successfully.
It is to be understood that this is
not a plan which will allow those who
first get in their applications to re-
ceive first choice in the apportioning
of the tickets. Its only object is to
do away with the former clumsy
method of taking care ofthe selling
of the admission checks.
Because of the rapid lessening of
time until the prom it will be neces-
sary for all of the applications to
come in not later than March 4. "The
earlier the better' according to one
of the men in charge.
FELLOWSHIPS FOR 1919-20
All applications for fellow-
ships for 1919-20 in the Gradu-
ate School should be in the
hands of the Dean not later than
March 1. Detailed information
may be had at the office, Room
9, University hall.
ALFRED H. LLOYD,
Dean.

M. PETIT INJURED IN
INTERURBAN CCIDENT
ADDRESSES CROWD'AT BANQUET
IN SPITE OF KEEN DIS-
COMFORT
M. Jean Petit, instructor in French
in the literary college, was injured
last Friday afternoon when two in-
terurban cars collided near Detroit.
M. Petit was on his way to speak at
a banquet of the Fellowcraft club, 70
Washington Blvd. He was to relate
his experiences in the war. The car
in which he was riding collided with
another car and although the acci-
dent was not fatal to anyone, many,
of the passengers were badly bruised.
M. Petit was slightly injured and
although he was in pain he met his
appointment at the dinner. His talk
was enthusiastically received and he
was invited to give a series of ad-
dresses there in the future. Not un-
til he arrived at his home in Ann Ar-
bor did he allow anyone to know of
his injuries. Since early Saturday
morning he has been confined to his
bed and has suffered considerably,
The exact nature 'of his injuries is
not yet known, but it is thought that
they are limited to bruises and
strains. He hopes to be out in time
to fill his place on the bill of the
Spotlight vaudeville.
Spoke Before Alliance
M. Petit is-to speak regularly at the
Fellowcraft club under the auspices
of the French Alliance of Detroit.
The French Alliance is an organiza-
tion formed to interest the public in
things French. The aim of the or-
ganization s tio present, every week,
French plays or lectures which will
be free to members of the Alliance.
Persons interested in membership
should apply to Mr. George Lory, in
care of the French Alliance, 70 Wash-
ington Blvd., Detroit. Two one act
plays, entiled, "Asile de nuit" and "La
Chute du Ministere," will be presented
on next Friday afternoon at the club.
INITIATION THIS AFTERNOON
TO PRODUCE 12 NEW GRIFFINS
When the chimes ring out 4 o'clock
tonight, Griffins, singing the tradi-
tional Griffin song, will form in page-
ant solemn, and from the neophytes
gathered about the flag pole, select
the chosen ones to be initiated into
the All-campus, interclass honor so-
ciety.

the various wards Wednesday from 8

What promises to be the largest
and noisiest "jazz" orchestra ever
seen on the stage of Hill auditorium
will ibe heard at 8:30 o'clock Friday
evening, when the Spotlight vaude-
ville is given for the benefit of the
American University Union in Paris.
"The Jazzland Symphony," as the
orchestra has been named, is com-
posed of 12 instruments-three pianos,
three violins, two saxophones, two
banjorines, one cornet, and one drum.
The three pianos simultaneously emit-
ting their ragtime chords are calcu-
lated to produce a thunderous rever-
beration that will penetrate , to the
,farthermost corner of the auditorium.
Howard to Appear Again
In the way of instrumental music,
there will be two other acts. Alden
L. Howard, '20E, who distinguished
himself in last year's Spotlight, will
again give selections on the steel
guitar.
Somewhat of a novelty in the way
of stringed instruments will beN heard
in an act by Fred E. Motley, '22M,
and Harold T. Corson, '18E. Motley
will play the harp guitar, a rather
ponderous relative of both these in-
struments, and Corson will use the
mandolin.
Novelty Stunts
In addition to these acts, there are
to be several novelty stunts and vo-
cal numbers, all of which promise to
be far above the average calibre.
Vaudeville tickets, at 35 cents each,
will go on sale Wednesday on the
campus, and it is expected that the
cardboards will be much in demand.
University authorities are vieing with
students in supporting the show
whole-heartedly as an enterprise to
aid the American University Union.

BEGAN CAREER IN CHOIR
SMALL CHURCH IN
NAPLES

Many a propagandist has caused
a good many more wholesome Ameri-
can girls to neglect food and scorn
sleep during the last war of ours.
Why? Oh, yes-the eternal triangle
again. They have said that La Belle
France was teeming with fair and
flaunting ladies who were vamping
the American boy to such an extent
that only a few might return to the
Goddess of Liberty and their home
town girls.
This has been proven to be about
as true as the "Me Und Gott" theory
held by a late monarch, and the proof
comes from an authority, the county
clerk, in fact. He states that mar-
riages are on the boom since the arm-
istice was signed and that his archives
show a 33 per cent increase in the
number of licenses for matrimony
dispensed by him since Nov. 11 over
the number issued during the bellum
days.
To the maid of the quivering heart
and suspecting nature this comes as
a balm and proves that after all "the
home town girl" really stands aboutj
as high with the American hero as
an "all-A" student does with thel
dean.

CARUSO LEAVES OPERA
SEASON TO SINGz HERE

OF

For the first time in the history of
his grand opera career Caruso has
Leers pranted permission by his Met-
ropolitan manager, Mr. Gatti-Casazza,
to fill an engagement outside of New
York in the midst of the opera sea-
son when he comes to Ann Arbor to
sing Monday evening in Hill auditor-
ium.
Today, Tuesday, Caruso celebrated
his forty-sixth birthday. Owing to the
extraordinary care that he takes of
it the gifted Italian tenor's matchless
voice is as good as new, with all the
added richness of25 years of profes-
sional exneriece in opera.
He began his career as a choir boy
in a small church in Naples. His
father was an engineer, and, being of
a purely mechanical turn of mind, he
had little sympathy with his son's
artistic aspirations. Notwithstanding
the father's determination to have his
son follow a practical mechanic's life,
and the fact that Caruso worked sev-
eral years in a chemical factory where
he was a machinist, music so dominat-
ed the boy that he spent every min-
ute of his lesiure hours singing and
listening to music.
Finally, h'e obtained a postion in
one of the big church choirs, the ex-
treme beauty !of his voice attacting
many strangers in the church. Among
these was a noted baritone who after
finding out that the boy's parents
were too poor to give him musical in-
struction, offered to give young Caruso
a three years course of lessons. The
offer was not accepted because about
this time he entered military service
where he remained for 18 months.
Later Caruso began vocal study in
earnest and soon made his debut. This
occurred in 1894 in Naples. For the
past 15 years he has been the chief
tenor in the Metropolitan opera house.
CIRCLE FRANCAIS MUSICALE

A niusicale with dancing afterwards
is to be given by the Cercle Francais
at 8 o'clock Saturday in Sara Cas-
well Angell hall. The musicale was
announced in the original circulars as1
starting at 8:30 o'clock but the time
has been changed.

Boston, Feb. 24."Men who woul
have America fail the world in it
hope see only beyond the mere hor
zon," declared President Wilson in hi
first speech here today on landin
from France.
Critics Do Not Know America
"They do not know the sentime
of America," he said. Speaking'i
hopes and aspirations of the peopJ
of Europe for a lasting peace Wilso
said, "We're pinned to the Unite
States as the friend of mankind.
"I have come back for an attemj

that I have been trying to speak the

America.
"I find that in loving America,

lowmen throughout the world."
New World Basis
His reception in Europe he said b
considered as not a privilege to hin
self but a welcome to the 'America
people. He regarded it as a welcon

he said, "is that this great counti

That would be premature.
"The' men who are in conference :
Paris realize they are not masters
the people, but servants and no me
