UN.

Seventeen sororities have already
agreed to act as Christmas big sisters
to a like number of poor children, who
will be clothed and given a real Yule-
tide party under the plan now being
carried on by committees of the Uni-
versity Y. W. C .A. and Y. M. C. A. It
is expected that fraternities will re-
spond with as great willingness as
soon as they are asked to"take a boy
apiece and give!him a "big time." for
one day before Christmas vacation..

In place of the general meeting an-
nounced for Friday, it has been de-
cided that the fraternity and sorority

of its board of trustees, culminating

To Care for Students
The greatly appreciated war services
of the Union, which afforded its privi-
leges to more than 30,000 college men,
wereo brought to an end .Tune 30, 1919,
when the Union ceased to function
as a war instrumentality. It was a
part of the original plan that the.
Union, after the war, should be trans-
formed in function in order to take
care of American students in conti-
nental and British universities. This
plan is now to be carried gout.
Home at Paris-
"At present the Union has three cen-
ters of activity," said President Hutch-
ins Wednesday. "The principal conti-
nental center is in Paris, with the
present home of the University Union
there is at 1 Rue de Fleurus. Prof.
Charles B. Vibbert of our department
of philosophy, who was at the head of
the 'Union's Michigan bureau during
the war, has been appointed director;
of the continental work for the cur-
i rent year.
"An Italian branch of The Union has
been established in Rome, and ° an
English branch in London. Each is
in charge of a director. Professor Mc-
Lean, former president of the Univer-
sity of Iowa, is in charge of the Lon-
- don branch."
Commenting on the future peace-
time work of the Union, President
t Hutchins said that its principal func-
tion would be to- help American stu-
dents who may be studying abroad, by
giving them the necessary informa-
tion as to opportunities, and by get-,
ting them in touch with educational'
authorities and other persons whom
* they may desire to meet.
New Building Site,
President Hutchins stated that the
city of Paris has presented the Union
a building lot favorably located, the.
value of which is approximately $100,-
000. A movement has been started to
secure funds for the erection on this
lot of a commodious structure, which
will house the offices of the Union and
furnish accommodations for Ameri-
can students in Paris.
"More than 50 American colleges
and universities have -indicated their
intentions to continue their member-
ship in the reorganized Union," said
President Hutchins. "It is expected

Lane hall. bommittees from both the
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W.,C. A., under the
general diiectoin of Erwin Goodwil-
lie, '20, president of the Y. M. C. A.,
are now phoning all houses in town
to determine the amount of money
each can put in,' so that a fair idea
of the work to be done may be sub-
mitted at the two meetings.
Merchants are now being approach-
ed to find out how much of a percent-
age they will deduct from the prices
of clothing purchased to outfit the
children', and a very gratifying re-
sponse has been met with so far.
Plans for Small Rouses
University houses which, on ac-
count of their small .size and the fact
that they are not closely olgahized,
will be unable to adopt x~ child for a
day and clothe it, have offered, in the
case of the eight houses visited, to
furnish dolls, painted cards, and bas-
kets for the hospital celebrations. All
presents and decorations left over from
the fraternity and sorority parties
will gladly be received by Miss Huida
Bancroft, Y. W. C. A. scretary, for
use in the hospitals.
The Y. W. C. A. committee appointed
to take care of the work among soror-
ities and University houses will con-
sist of Florabel Ellis, '20, Josephine
Holmes, '21, Margaret Barlow, '21,

SELECTION
Washington, Dec. 10.-The Repub-
lican national committee today select-
ed Chicago and Tuesday, June 8, as the
place and time for the national con-
vention at which the party's 1920 can-
didate for President will be nomin-
ated. St. Louis made a stubborn fight
for the convention.
The cminittee also authorized the
creation of two new departments of
party organization to deal with poli-
cies and general party welfare. The
members, including men and women
representing labor, capital, the farm-
ers and others will go to work at
once sorting out subjects to be dealt
with in the 1920 platform.
The plan of Will H. Hayes the na-
tional chairman, for limitation of in-
di idual campaign contributions to
$1,000 formally was approved.
Maneuvering of the friends of var-.
ios candidates was in evidence but
the only result appearing on the sur-
ace was a statement by Senator James
E. Watson, of Indiana, that he was
not seeking the nomination.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Fresh Japan-
ese troops are being sent into Sibe-
ria, official despatches from Vladivos-
tok received here today said. Two
transports now are unloading at Vla-
divostok and others are reported to be

000 men. The United States sent, in
8,000 men and the European allies

4school athletes in their home towns

man; H. Leslie Popp, '20, secretary;.
Walter s. Riess, '1L, treasurer; Carl

sell Barnes, '20, and Robert Cook,
r'20E. N

the matter of securing the University's'
share of athletic material on a busi-
ness-like basis.
YOUR PART IN THE
SOLUTION OF THE
ATHLETIC PROBLEM
With the. Christmas recess but a
week away, the Interfraternity coun-'
cil has announced the completion of
a plan which devolves upon every
student of the University a certain
responsibility in connection with the
athletic situation here .
The plan is an organized method for
obtaining material for Michigan Var-
sity teams. It is a concentrated ef-
fort on the part of the representative
fraternities of the campus to do their
share in helping the situation, yet
it also calls upon non-fraternity men,,
to co-operate.
It is a plan to .urge promising.'ath-
letes to come to Michigan next year.
The time is opportune for such a plan
to be put into oiration. During

Christmas, the student body will be
in direct touch with the material in
their home town and will thus have
a chance to bring the best athletes
of their section of the country here.
It is up to every Michigan student to
read the announcement of the Inter-
fraternity council, and to do his little
bit in accordance with the plan out-
lined.

UNIN~ AMPAIGN
C(ommiitteemen May Solicit Students
Not on Own List During
Final Drive
EXPECT TO ATTAIN 2,000
MEIBERSHIP; GOAL SET
Lacking 900 in the dive to secure
2,0 life memiberships, the' Ution cain-
paign committee starts upon the last
day of the campaign. Today marks
the grand clean up, when committee-
men are privileged to solicit any su-
dent encountered upon the campus.
Indications point toward the cam-
paign going well over the ;top, ap-
proximately 700 subscriptions being
received Wednesday against 450 for
Tuesday, and Donald1 orter, '21, gen-
eial chairman of the drive, expects
the figures of the last day to sur-
pass all others, inasmuch as commit-
teemen will not be restricted to a
small list .ef 'names.
1,100 Mark Reached
The figure of.1,100 was given out
late lat -night, when returns 'were
still coming in, and when every re-
port is in tomorrow night, officials ex-
pect the goal to have been reached.
Committeemen are having little diffi-
culty in getting students to sign up,
the students appare ly being desir-
ous of aiding the Union.
The best record is expected Thurs-
day as returns will be much more
complete then. In all 3,775 students
will have been visited by the commit-
teemen in n effort to sell the life
memberships..
"Although Indications point toward
the drive going over the top," stated
Donald Porter, geieral chairman of
the membership committee, "it is not
absolutely assured, and every man
wil have to do his best to accomplish
this feat. The only way that we can
convince the alumni that the stu-
dents appreciate the building, is to
over-subscribe in this campaign, and
if this is done, ready cash will soon
be forthcoming for the completion of
the building."
Team 17 Leads.
Team 17, captained by Pierce Me-
Louth, '21E, leads the competition for
the steak dinner with a total of 133

life memberships, and/Maynard New-
ton, '22, head of team 13, comes seond

ard Khuen, '21, occupies fourth posi-
tion with 86 life memberships.

vidual salesmen wi-th '36 subscriptions
