AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SECTIONAL CLUBS That the campus is over-organized. s an indisputable fact. But there is tlways a place for a society with a eri'os litent. Such is the case of he Pontiac club which has stepped into the lead of all sectional organiza- ions at Michigan. University students from Pontiac in- tead of meeting only for social pur- o~ees, as is the general order for n, pibrs of many University clubs, iave determined to work in a definite i reotion for the benefit of Michigan. @sa result of this action, the club s entertaining this week-end seniors f Pontiac high school, giving them the )ppirtulty to view Michigan as it really is, and not as it is reported. Because of this visit a goodly number of these men will be enlisted next fall ju the great corps of Michigan sup- porters. There are a great many organiza- ions -on the campus which do not ustify their existence, but fortunately here are more that do. In the latter lass the Pontiac sectional club ought o be placed.
