WOMEN'S LEAGUE OWVES'
IMPETUS TO, CAMPIGN
The membership committee of the
Women's league is now considering
designs for a pin to be given each
woman holding life membership in
the league. With the intention of urg-
ing life membership, more than 3,000
letters are being sent to seniors and
alumnae of the University.
Letters Contain Plans
An outline of the work of the leauge
and plans for next year are sent with
each letter. All life members are con-
stantly kept informed of league ac-
tivities by pamphlets mailed to them
each year.
Chairmen Appointed
Elsie Erley, '20 chairman of the
membership committee has appointed
Roberta Deam, '20, chairman of the
letter addressing committee; Marion
Bath, '21, chairman of the folding com-
mittee; and Ella Rassmussen, '19,
chairman of a committee which takes
charge of former members of the
league.
Engineering News
Members of the Engineering society
should smoke only in the society
rooms. No smoking is permitted in
the halls, and if such, is done, the
privilege of smoking in the society
rooms will be taken away.
All members of the A. S. M. E, and
the Engineering society are entitled to
a free issue of the Michigan Technic.
Young men with technical and me-
chanical experience are wanted by the
Four Wheel Drive Truck company.
Positions are offered to applicants of
the engineering department as sales-
men, but before going on the road, it
it necessary for the men to undergo
a course in the factory which ac-
quaints them with the mechanical
parts of the trucks. A nominal salary
is offered at first, but advancement is
rapid. Those interested should see
Prof. W. T. Fishleigh.
Senior engineers who expect to
graduate in June should see the sec-
retary about the number of hours
which they have and whether they
have taken all the required courses.
This should be done immediately, for
if they have not taken all the requir-
ed studies, they may yet elect the nec-
essary ones, and graduate with the
class in June.
Major Joseph A. Bursley, a member
of the mechanical engineering depart-
ment, who has been absent on leave
in government 'work for a year, has
recovered from a long illness.
Major Bursley expects to resume his
position at the University next fall.
Ten thousand dollars has been ap-
portioned as the engineering depart-
ment's share of the Michigan Union
fund. This will necessitate an in-
crease of nearly 100 percent in the
life membership among the students
and alumni. A campaign has been in-
augerated by Professor Riggs' to se-
cure the necessary funds.
Letters have been received by Pro-
fessor Riggs, head of the civil eng-
ineering department, from the H. L.
Lewis company, of Chicago, and from
the Eastern Massachusetts State Rail-
way company requesting applications
from capable men for work with their
respective concerns. The Lewis com-
pany is chiefly interested in the fin-
ancing and operating of hotels and
will consider applications from stu-
dents in the business administration
and architectural departments as well
as from the engineering department.
Senior engineers should order their
canes at Wagner's before Wednesday,
April 23.

Members of the A. S. M. E. may
secure their membership pins by call-
ing at room 226.
A. A. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
TO HAVE SELF-GOVERNMENT
Ann Arbor high school is to have a
new form of self-government. The
ruling body will be called the Asso-
ciation of Government and will be
composed entirely of students, with
the principal in attendance at meet-
ings.
The constitution, which has just
ben drawn up, provides for a student
mayor, clerk, and student council. In
addition to executive power they have
formed a court which will try cases
of misdemeanor and felony.
This is.the first active step in sev-
eral years to establish an organized
body to control, co-operate with, and
instill spirit in the student body.
SHRUBS BEING DISTRIBUTED
BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
First shipment of shrubs for the
shrubbery campaign of the Ann Arbor
chamber of commerce has arrived and
is being distributed.
The purpose of this campaign is
the beautification of Ann Arbor. For
about a week or ten days more, ord-
ers for shrubs will be taken. To ob-
tain these shrubs, all thatis neces-
sary is to telephone the chamber of
commerce, telephone No. 31, and leave
the order.

DEBATERS TO VIE
FOR SILVER C U P
Representatives of Alpha Nu De-
bating society and the Adelphi House
of Representatives have chosen for the
subject of the freshman intersociety
debate: Resolved, That immigration
to the United States should be further
restricted for the next five years.
This spring's contest is the fifth in
a series for the possession of a silver
cup which is at present in the Alpha
Nu rooms. Permanent ownership of
the trophy can only come as a re-
sult of three straight victories, or, if
this is not accomplished at the end
of seven years, the cup goes to that
organiation having the greater number
of victories.
Alpha Nu's freshman team won the
last two years, so that a third success
this spring will enable them to keep
the cup. Adelphi were winners in the
first two contests held.
Teams to represent the two societ-
les will be picked from their respec-
tive freshman pledges at the next
meetings of the clubs.
Sclrnerer, 18A, Retuinis to University
A. L. Schoerger, '18A, recently dis-
charged from the service, has returned
to the University. Schoerger spent
nine months overseas, part of which
was on the Toule and Verdun fronts.
