ILAW (By Associated Press) FACULTY INyESTIGATES REVENUE LAW ON THE SUBJECT Washington, March 17. - Over- whelming endorsement of a universal military training system, coupled with equally strong support for the exist- ing disciplinary relationship between officers and men of the army, was ex- pressed today by a representative group of the selective service draft of the 12th division of Camp Devens, Massachusetts. Representative on War The opinion" of the men number- Ing 1,380 with an average length of service of more than 10 months, were obtained through a carefully arranged questionnaire with every safeguard, provided to insure absolutely free ex- pression of opinion and with gen- eral distribution of the division so as to make the answers representative. The report in the inquiry was made public today at the War Department. Half Dissatisfied Although half of the men question- ed were dissatisfied with military life the report shows that 89.5 per cent of the replies expressed the soldier's be- lief that he personally had benefitted by his army life; 79 per cent were glad of their training aside from feel- ings of patriotism, and 88 per cent favored universal military training as a national policy. A substantial ma- jority agreed that the existing rela- tionship between office% and men was necessary and disapproved the social mixing of the rank and file. Improvements Wanted The largest numbers of suggestions as to improvements in the service. had to do with better -fitting uniforms or changes in mess arrangements. Of universal military training the answers were' emphatic. Of 1,380 re- plies turned In 1,213 were flatly in favor. Good citizenship, physical ben- efits, and character building were the chief reasons of approval assigned. Six Months' Training The largest number of men making recommendation as to the form of service urged six months as a suffi- cient. period and thought it should be given to men during their 18th year. 46 TAKE RITUAL OF COSMOPOLITANS Forty-six new members, 38 men and 8 women, were initiated into the Cosmopolitan club following the re- ception held Saturday evening at Martha Cook residence. The program, which was furnished by members of the club, was opened with the singing of the Latin hymn, "Gaudeamus Igitur" The reading of the ritual followed, with presentation of pins by Presidents Sotokichi Kat- suizumi, grad., of the men's chapter, and Louisa B. Youngs, '21, of the women's chapter. The balance of the entertainment consisted of a vocal solo by Mrs. H. M. Dyason, Sch. of M., a recitation by Miss Youngs, mandolin solo by A. M. Elkind, '20, explanation of jiu-jitsu by Bunzaburo Sashida, and vocal solos by Wiltrud Hildner, '19, and Armin Friedman, '20. A feature of the evening was the singing , of the Cosmopolitan song, composed by Prof. 3. A. C. Hildner, advisor of the club, and sung by Miss Hildner, accompanied by K. F. Rindel- Members of the law faculty are in- vestigating the revenue law to learn if .a war tax should be collected on J-Hop tickets. By telegraphing other universities the Hop committee has learned that a tax was required on dances at these institutions. It is possible that this will not hold true at Michigan, for the hop may not be of a similar na- ture. At such affairs as the Union dances and the Union opera it has not been necessary to collect a war tax be- cause of their connection with lt he 'University. Karl Velde, chairman of the Hop committee, said, "Thehboard of control of students affairs has as much control of this dance as of Union matters, which may-mean that we will not have to collect a war tax." The tax, if levied, will amount to 50 cents, and will be collected when the formal invitations are mailed. Apmplications for tickets will be re- ceived by W. G. Harbert at 604 South State street up to Thursday noon. Checks should be made payable to David Nash. ON EDUCATIONAL- FILMS PROTESTS LODGED A-4GA9IN5TLOW PAY Study of Local Conditions Shows Inadequacy of Professors' Salaries LEGISLATURE EXPECTED TO MAKE FIT READJUSTMENTS Since the acceptance by the Board of Regents of a memorial from faculty members of the University, regarding professors' salaries, an energetic came paign is being carried on by the news- papers and certain officials of the state to bring the situation before the state legislature for prompt in- vestigation and action. Not only have those connected with the disposal of University affairs tak- en the matter into consideration, but campus clubs and honorary societies are beginning to advocate the cause of the faculty men, and to ask for im- mediate adjustment of the ridiculous and unfair conditions. Michigan Low on Salary List As far back as 1908, in the report to the Carnegie foundation, it was found that among the 27 largest uni- versities in the United States, Michi- gan ranked 20th in the average sala- ries paid to professors; and 19th in the salaries to assistant professors. Nineteen hundred and eight was the last time the foundation report was made, and present statistics are not available. Professors Not Considered In 1908, instructors of the faculty in university classes received a mini- mum of $900 a year. Eleven years aft-t er, in 1919, the minimum salary of an instructor is $1,000 a year. Thus it is seen that in the very abnormal con- ditions brought about by the war, and the high cost of living, before the war, (Continued on Page Six) HUGE FUND ASKED FOR CONSTRUCTION Board of Regents Seeks Million and a Half from Legislature for Buildings NEW UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AMONG PROJECTS PLANNED With a request to the legislature for appropriations of $1,500,000 for the coming year, the Board of Regents has authorized the publication of a pamph- let addressed to the voters of Michi- gan and the legislature for 1919. Deficiency in Current Expense After enumerating the different ex- penses of construction which include the completion, furnishing and equip- ping of the library, the building of a hospital, and the construction of a model high school, the bulletin in- cludes an item of $300,000 to meet the deficiency in current expenses due to the abnormal war conditions for the year ending Dec. 31, 1918. Increased cost of everything which the University must purchase has caused this deficit. Not only have building materials soared to incred- ible prices, but the exceptional up- ward trend in the cost of living, has resulted in the necessity of paying higher wages for all the different kinds of labor involved in building and construction work. Legislators Overlook Changes Merely for the past year, appro- priations for $300,000 must .be made to pay the expenses of the previous terms, or, before the end of the pres- ent year, the University will be with- out funds for running expenses. The fact that the unusual conditions due to the war, which have seriously affected every concern and individual in the country, have not been taken into consideration by the legislators, (Continued on Page Six) Fresh Engineers To Hold Smoker Smokes, a program, and refresh- ments are the big attractions of the fresh engineer smoker to be held at 7:30 o'clock, Tuesday evening, in the Michigan Union building. More than 200 tickets had been sold up to Monday noon, and those in charge are confident that the entire engineering class of '22 will be pre- sent. Dean W. H. Butts, Prof. W. C. Hoad,; and Prof. L. M. Gram, all of the col- lege of engineering, have been secured to speak on this occasion Featuring the program will be a jazz orchestra of 12 pieces, and a number of songs rendered by several members of the class. ORATOhICAL FINALS SET FOR MONDAY, MARCH 4; WOMEN TO PLAY PROMINENT PART IN NORTHERN LEAGUE CONTEST That Monday evening, March 24, will be the date of the University finals for the Northern Oratorical league contest, was the decision of the Ora- torical board at a meeting held Mon- day afternoon. Regent Junius E. Beal will preside. Women are to be prominent in the league contest according to informa- tion given out Monday. Northwestern university has already selected a wom- an as its' representative, and Alice Hoelzle, '19, is the one woman among five entrants in the University finals. This is the third year that North- western university has chosen a wom- n contestant. In the two previous years its representatives were wom- en, and each time they have been win- ners of the contests. Alice Hoelzle is the third woman in the history of the University to enter the league finals. In 1906 Fran- ces Hickcock represented Michigan in the big contest, and in 1917 and 1918 Lois May, '18, was defeated in the finals. There will be at least one woman among the judges of the University contest. From five to seven members of the faculty will compose this body. In addition to Northwestern univer- sity, the University of Illinois and Oberlin college have selected their final contestants. The University of Iowa will choose its contestant on Friday. The Universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota will be the last to pick their representatives. 1919- MEICAL CLASS GRATSTHURSDAY LUNCHEON IN BARBOUR GYMNA.

If it is true that less than ten per cent of the professors in the Univer- sity are able to live on their salaries, then there is something radically wrong at Michigan. In the last few years we have put up a number of new buildings on the campus. This is a good sign. We should have adequate facilities. But we should remember that we must also have the men to preside in these buildings. Many of our best faculty men have left simply because they could com- mand more money elsewhere. What is the good of fine buildings if we have not the big men? A university is noted because of its faculty. Are we building a university of bricks? Michigan has been unfortunate in not having endowments. Other un- iversities, through the generosity of wealthy men, are able to erect beaut- iful buildings and pay adequate salaries. Not being endowed, except for a few isolated cases, we must make the state appropriation put up ourj buildings and also pay our salaries. Consequently, the latter suffer. If the appropriations of the state were larger, larger salaries could be paid. To make the state grant larger appropriations, the taxpayers should be brought to realize the importancee of the University, and be made to take more pride in it. At present, the University is viewed as a sort of necessary burden. The University should be placed in a different light before the taxpay- ers. They should be made to see that higher education is not a fad, but a vital, all-absorbing thing. We want new buildings-we need them. But we also want salaries that will enable a fair sort of living. A university of bricks is pretty to look at. But a university of brains is the one that will command attention and respect - ment at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon in Sara Caswell Angell hall. The ceremony will be opened by a prayer by the Rev. Sidney S. Robins, new pastor of the Unitarian church. This will be followed by a solo by Robert R. Dieterle, '21M. He will be accompanied by Earl V. Moore. After the address by Dr. Dodson, de- grees will be conferred by President Harry B. Hutchins. The singing of "America" will close the exercises. "Although the graduation is for the senior medical class and its friends, others will be admitted if seats re- main," said Prof. W. P. Lombard who is in charge of the arrangements. A luncheon will be held at 12;30 o'clock in Barbour gymnasium, tick- ets for which are now on sale at the medical school office. Invitations have been sent to the deans of all depart- ments. Dean Victor C. Vaughan will act as toastmaster. Invitations in the form of a small booklet covered with grey embossed leather have been sent out by the class. These contain a 1st of the fac- ulty, the class officers, the commit- tees, and the class role, and include a cut of the medical building.
