It will facilitate matters a great deal if these men will call at the registrar's office at once BOARD OF EDUCATION CLOSES CITY SCHOOLS INDEFINITELYg At a special meeting of the execu-i tive committee of the board of educa- tion Wednesday afternoon, it was de-i cided that all grammar schools and the highschool should be closed un- til further notice on account of the influenza epidemic. The absences have been increasing rapidly during the last few days. Over 25 per cent ofI the student body were absent from high school Wednesday. Mr. L. L. Forsythe, principal, thinks that the majority of absences are not from actual effects of the epidemic, but rather from alarm on the part of the parents. No deaths have been re- ported among the school children. The question of masks was to be considered by the board of educa- tion, but with the more drastic move of closing the schools, this action was made unnecessary for the present. Schools will not reopen before next Tuesday at least, and how soon after that they will resume their activities, Is not known. RED TRIANGLE STARTS WORK AT NEWBERRY HALL TODAY Newberry hall is. to be opened to- day. The camp furniture has been completed for the use of the men and carpenters are now building furniture for Lane hall. This will place two centers at the disposal 'of the S. A. T. C. men. Both places will be mark- ed by large red triangles. A portable movie booth has been intsalled in Newberry hall. Standard Headlights for Automobiles Lansing, Oct. 17. - Governor Sleep- er is of the opinon that there are too many kinds of headlights on au- tomobiles. With this idea in view, he has appointed a committee of seven prominent men in the manufacture of automobiles in Michigan, to study the standardization of automobile headlights, with the definite pros- pect of placing regulations in a law dt the session of the next legislature. Chancellor's Resignation Probable London, Oct. 17.-The resignation of Prince Maxmillan of Baden as Ger- man Imperial Chancellor is probable, according to reports from Holland today. They quote the Berlin Na- tional Zeitung as saying the chancel- lor's retirement is regarded in cer- tain circles as inevitable. Teach Xllitary German at Wisconsin Madison, Wis., Oct. 17.-Military German is to be installed as a course in the S. A. T. C. of the University of Wisconsin curriculum at the re- quest of the war department. Ex- perience has proven that such a knowledge is of inestimable value to an officer or man on the battle front. Illinois may tret Closing Order Chicago, Oct. 17.-Illinois health officials are considering the advis- ability of a general closing order. This' would include saloons and probably Pot Here- Beter Late Than Nerer Even the army cannot trimph over Michigan traditions. At last the fresh- man pot has put in its appearance. A welcome sight to those who were about to relinquish with a high all thought of retaining traditions in the dynamic change lately come over thel campus. Once more does the exuber- ant freshman put aside his P. D. Q. pin from high school, and send his red and green track sweater home to his kid brother with admonitions to wear it while he can. Although three weeks late, the freshman has asserted his individual-; ity and taken up his prescribed head- gear. No longer can he perambulate on the venerable campus walks with inconspicuous ease. No longer can he cover up his army haircut with his favorite slouch hat. Now he must come into the open with his ears sticking out to catch all commands and his eyes alert for superior offi- cers. "Hat, Frosh" will again burden the air with its note of warning, for the unfortunate yearling can no long- er seek shelter under coventional headgear. Perhaps ths year he may escape the usual drenchings under the fountain on North University ave- nue and the ignominy of being made to drink from the watering tank at the engineering arch, but K. P. duty wil more than make up for these. The new uniforms will doubtless be lng in arriving and until then the freshman can have full swing in up- holding all ancient traditions. With the donning of the pot he becomes a, true- Michigan man. He discards all high school insignia and other ehild- ish things, and even substitutes a pipe for a Camel once in a while when he ambles through the campus. He invests in a leather notebook with the name engraved in gold on the lower right hand corner, and practices free- hand lettering all over the fly leaves. Yea, verily, he has reached man's es- tate, and Michigan has added another, name to the list of future alumni. PROGRAM OF ATHENA LITERARY SOCIETY MEETING POSTPONED Members of the Athena Literary so- ciety who did not attend the last meet- ing of the society, because of insuffi- cient notification, will be interested to know that the program arranged for that evening has been postponed.

A. cam- paign are nearly completed, but have not as yet been tabulated. The total number of girls who had joined up to last night was listed at 451. As the campaign is still under way, there are still a number of committee girls who have not yet reported in full. They are urged to do so as soon as possi- ble. - Sell Bonds to Get New Dress Champaign, Ill., Oct. 17.-Some one is going to get a new dress without paying for it, and they won't steal it either. The Coed Dress company,, of New York, is offering a made-to-or- der dress to the undergraduate wom- an who sells the greatest number of Liberty bonds in the present drive. This is to be extended to the women of all the leading colleges. What Will Ann Arbor Clocks Do? There has been a good deal of won- dering as to what is to happen to Ann Arbor's time schedule on Oct. 25, and how it will effect the University. At the next meeting of the Board of Re- gents a decision will be reached as to what course will be followed. Professor Taylor's Son Better A message received from Prof. F. M.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH GIVEN OVER TO GOVERNMENT DEMANDS Scientific researches in various de- partments of the University have ben affected by the war, according to a statement by Alfred H. Lloyd, dean of the Graduate school. At every point possible the University resources have been turned over to the government service. Where there has been any reduction in the amount of work done, it has been due to the fact that sev- eral of the staffs have suffered losses through government appointments at Washington or elsewhere, or through other conditions incident to the car- rying on of the war. The usual appointments to fellow- ships have been made, and wherever possible the fellows have been asked to cooperate with their departments in the various work that has been un- dertaken. Details as to the depart- ments especially concerned, however, or as to the specific problems that have been undertaken, can not be published at this time. ALUMNAE AND DORMITORIES HELP SERVE CONVALESCENTS Collegiate alumnae, with the help of the women on the campus, are seeing that meals are properly served to the convalescents in the Union and Chi Psi barracks. Gas was installed at the Union in kitchenettes, and meals, fresh, clean, and hot .are being sent up to the men. The kitchens at Martha Cook dormitory and Newberry residence also supply food for both places and 100 men were fed yesterday in this manner. The idea originated at Hostess house and the management of it was taken over by Collegiate Alumnae. Mrs. Reuben Peterson, Miss Grace Green- wood, Mrs. E. D. Kinne, Dr. Jeanne Solis, and Dr. Lucy Elliott are among those who have done a great deal toward making this a success. NINE MEN OF NAVAL RESERVES RECEIVE ACTIVE DUTY ORDERS The following teen's active duty or- ders have been received at naval head- quarters and should be called for im- mediately: Oscar A.

Elementary German Courses Changed All the classes in German announced in the University bulletin are being given and the professors in that lan- guage are kept busy. There are be- tween 120 and 130sstudents enrolled in the German courses. The advanced. classes are rather small but the ele- mentary classes have about the same number as last year. In accordance 'with a request from the war depart- ment, scientific and conversational German -is being installed in the be- ginner's classes where there are S. A. T. C. men. The classes in German script report fair attendances. The' war has greatly affected the enroll- ment of students in German, and an entire change has been made in the subject-matter of the elementary courses.

Sub-Chasers Equal Former Destroyers Washington, Oct. 17.-To meet the new and greater submarine menace, Secretary Daniels is urging all Am- erican shipbuilders to make every ef- fort to increase the production of de- stroyers. Eagle No. 1, the new submarine chaser being made at the Ford plant, Detroit, has proved a success, equal- ing former destroyers in speed and sea-going qualities, and its manufact- ure is expected to reach the peak of its schedule early next year. Issue Women's War Courses Bulletin A special bulletin is to be prepared for the new work contemplated by the University, that of correlating the ser- vice either here or abroad.
