CAMPUS OPINION ON MOVE
With the aim of establishing the
first university post of the American
Legion at Michigan, ex-service men
here are rapidly completing plans for
the formation of a post at the Uni-
versity.
These men, who are actively inter-
ested in having this honor go to Mich-
igan, have been co-operating with
Colonel A. H. Gassner, of Bay City
who is commander of the Legion in
this state. Colonel Gassner is an earn-
est advocate of this project, having ex.
pressed himself to that effect in an
address which he cently delivered
bdore members of the Overseas club.
Arrange Details
Due to the fact that there may bel
some hesitancy in the part of stu-
dents 'who are members of Legion,
posts in their home towns, national
officers of the organization, who will;
launch a sixday drive for new mem-1
bers, beginning May 17, have arranged
a satisfactory means of transfer froml
one post to another.
To find out the number of men who
are really in favor of the establish-
ment of a post here, the committee in
charge asks that all men who served
in the United States army, navy, and
marine corps from April 6, 1917, tol
November 11, 1918, fill out slips which1
shall contain the following Informa-
tion: name, unit, post and city, andl
service.
Will Indicate Sentiment
The number of men signing these1
slips will be regarded by the commit-
tee as indicative of the local senti-
ment. Slips may be ' deposited any
time Monday, in- a box provided for the
purpose, at the Union.

bBREGON REPORTS DEPOSED
RULER GOING TO MOUNTAINS
(By Associated Press)
El Paso, May 15. - President Car-
ranza and some of his soldiers have
been reported captured by revolution-
ists under General Sanchez operat-
ing in the state of Puebla, according
to advices received late today from
Laredo by a Spanish language news-
paper published here. No details were
given. Reports of Carranza's capture
were also being circulated in Vera
Cruz.
CARRANA FLEES
Washington, May 15. - President
Carranza of Mexico was pictured today
by Alvaro Obregon, who forced hin
to flee from the capital a week ago, as
a fugitive in the mountains somewhere
between Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
Official reports from .the fight near
San Marcos between the revolution-
ists and the loyalists were lacking,
but press dispatches from Vera Cruz
also told of Carraiyza's escape through
the revolutionary lines, apparently
setting at rest all reports of the de-
posed ruler's surrender.
There were indications that the rev-
olutionists' attack had not been press-
ed, due to Obregon's order in which he
offered Carranza safe conduct to leave
the country if he desired to surren-
der.
Obregon's report said Carranza, ac-
companied by a small escort, was
making for the mountains, but that
he was being pursued.
While American officials regarded
the escape of Carranza as the possi-
ble basis for counter uprisings, the
belief that he would be able to avail
himself of the opportunity was not,
widespread. .
Some progress towards restoration
of communication with Mexico was re-
ported today.
Dieguez Taken
Mexico City, May -15. - Reports
that Gen. Manuel Dieguez has been
captured were confirmed today by a
wireless from Guadalajara, given out
by Obregon's headquarters. The fed-
eral leader, together with his staff, are
now in prison. Prior to the receipt
of the message, it had been decided to
send Gen. Benjamin Hill with a strong
battalon to capture Dieguez.
Other statements made by liberal
revolutionist headquarters indicate the
fighting is still going on near San
Marcos between the tro6ps guarding
the presidential palace and revolu-
tionary forces.

FINLNCIL ':PROBLEMS
METHODS OF RAISING ALUMNI
FUNDS FEATURES LAST
MEETING..
Methods of raising alumni funds,
and the relation of the alumni to the
financial problems facing all educa-
tional institutions as a result of the
war ,featured the Saturday morning
session of the conference of Alumni
and Alumnae secretaries, which closed
early yesterday afternoon.
Part of the discussion from Friday's
session was carried'over to the morn-
ing session, which began with an ad-
dress by Wilfred B. Shaw, secretary of..
the general alumni association. Miss
Bertha Ehlers, of Bryn Mawr also
spoke on the same general subject of
the -Aumni fund method of raising
funds by annual contributions.
Discusses Employment Problem
Preceding the business meeting and'
election of officers, Mr. John J. Coss
discussed the various problems to be
encountered yby alumni and alumnae
ofjces on the employment problem.
Mr. Coss based many of his conclu-
sions on his experience during the
war as a member of the Committee on
Classification and Personnel of the
War Department. It was his belief
that college men are coming into de-
mand more and more by the bigger
institutions and that graduating se-
niors are, fknding little difficulty in get-
ting jobs. Especially does this apply,
according to his statement, where the
university or college is near a large
city, as Columbia university in New
York City.
Favor Annual Conference
A resolution was unanimously
adopted favoring the holding of a con-
ference of this nature annually, al-
though the place and time for the
next meeting was not definitely decid-
ed. It was also decided upon to meet
jointly with the alumnae secretaries
in the future.
