Important Research Work Is
Held Up 'By Lack Of Assistants
"Because of the inability to pro-
cure assistants . to conduct experi-
ments in this department, several im-
portant tests are being delayed," re-
cently declared Prof. F. N. Menefee
of the engineering mechanics depart-
inent.
Experiments are conducted in the
testing materials laboratory on build-
ing materials such as cement, con-
crete, iron and steel. Also the ef-
fects of heat treatment and temper-
ing are tested and a new Brenell test-
ing machine for the purpose of re-
cording relative resistance to press-
ure of materials has recently been pro-
cured from the + government salvage
department in Detroit.
One of the tests which Professor
Menefee is desirous of making iswon
various types of concrete inserts.
These inserts are for the purpose of
hanging shafting or general piping
work from the ceiling. A number of
firms have sent their models to the
testing laborat'ory and are closely
watching for thenresults. According
to Professor Menefee this would be
the first experiment of its kind to be
conducted in this country and would
be of considerable importance in con-
struction work. Any junior or senior
engineers who may be interested in
this work are requested -to consult
with Professor Menefee,,

SENIOR BLAN.KETS
Blankets Bearing "M's" to Be Awarded
Athletes with Fitting.Ceremony;
Stars for Number of Years
AFFAIR WILL PROBABLY BE
HELD DURING LATE SPRING
The practice of awarding blankets'
to senior athletes, which was estab-
lished at. Michigan by the action of
the Board in Control of Athletics last
Saturday, although not exactly in the
form which it is planned to give them
here, is in vogue in many of the west-
ern colleges.
"Blanket Hop" at Indiana
At the University of Indiana a blan-
ket is given to each football letter
man and to each senior athlete. Al-
though they are not given at any set
time, the public presentation is made
at some occasion such as before a
large basketball game. The money
necessary for the purchase of these
blankets is raised by a subscription
dance which has come to be Inown as
-te Blanket Hop."
'Gold football watch fobs, football
caps, vests, and the regulation letter-
ed sweaters are given to the men win-,
ning their letters.
At the University of Purdue the
same custom of making the award of
the letter and sweater, or blanketbe-
fore a game is also carried out.
Northwestern's award to her seniot
athletes is in the form'of a gold serv-
ice medal. To win this a man must
have won at least three lettars in one
sport. The medal is cast in such a
way that It may be used for a watch
fob and costs about $45.
Iowa Considers Plan
Although the University of Iowa
does not at the present time give any-
thing except letters, it was stated in
a letter received by Carl T. Hogan, 20,
president of the Union, from the pres-
ident of the Iowa student council,
that there would probably be steps
taken in that direction by that school.
It has been suggested to the Stu-
dent Council of the University, which
is to have charge of the affair here,1
that it be held on the steps of the
new library. It is felt that this place
would not only give a large platform 1
on which to conduct the ceremony but
also that there is enough room here
to adpommodate all.
BAD CHECKS TICK
LOCAL MERCHANTS
.,Student" Gets Away with $196 and Is
Arrested in Chicago; Pleads
Innocence
WILLING TO DROP CHARGES
IF SETTLEMENT IS'MADE
r
Vincent Ton Salvaterra, who passed
several checks in Ann Arbor that were
returned by the bank, was arrested in
Chicago, and brought here for trial.
He was arraigned in justice court
Tuesday afternoon on the charge of
obtaining money under false pretens-
es and was bound over to the circuit
court.
Those who have chargesyagainst
him In Anne Arbor are, Myron E.
Slater, State street stationer, 480; J.
F. Wuier.th, Main street clothier, $45;
Charles W. Graham, State street ,ta-
tioner, $20; Haller and Fuller, State
street jewelers, $18. In addition to
these is $18 guaranteed to the Rev.
Fr. Burke, of the Students' chapel,
with which Salvaterra said he wish-
ed to send a telegram. and a bank
protest fok.$15.
Balance of 25 Cents
The checks for the above named
amounts were drawn against the Ann
Arbor Savings bank, in which Salva-
terra has an account of 25 cents. .His
total deficit in Ann Arbor, when all
complaints are in will total over
$200. .
The amount obtained by Salvaterra
from Slater was in the form of tavo
$40 checks.. Salvaterra represented
that he was a student in the Laiw de-
ph.rtment, but investigation failed to
show that he had registete& in the
Univ.ersity. One of the checks was
presented by Salvaterra, and the
other, made out to Henry Vick, was
presented by Vick. Since Vick en-
dorsed this check he is responsible
for the amount.
Expected Reimbursement
Mr. Slater said that 6e was willing
to drop the charges against' Salva-
terra, if he received his money. This
seems to be the stand taken by all
the merchants. Salvaterra said that
he issued these checks, knowing that
his account would not take care of
them, but that he expected money
that' would cover them before they
were protested. It seems that the
money has not yet arrived.
At the J. lk-Wuerth Co., Salvaterra
bought an overcoat, paying $5 on it,
and promisng to pay the rest later.
The Haller and Fuller account came
from apurcbAse of calling cerds val-
ued at $10 and of a locket valued at
$8. On this amount Salvaterra paid
$1, saying that he would return in
about an hour* and pay the rest.
The $18, obtained from the Rev. Fr.
Burke, was gotten upon representa-
tion of sending a cablegram. It has
been learned that the cablegram was
never sent.
A short time after Salvaterra left;
here, checks came into the Ann Arbor,
bank from Chicago in great numbers,
and many of them for large. amounts
The bank here refused to honor them
and returned them to Chicago.
Anxious to Make Good
Salvaterra seemed very anxious to
make good for the 'amounts, and has
sent for his baggage, in which he
claims are several articles which he
would be willing to turn over to the
authorities, in payment of his out-
standing accounts.

In the repo on "Securing the Co-
operation of Alumnae" which she de-
livered before the convention, Miss
Wells said, "The problem of interest-
ing desirable women in their alma
mater has been receiving attention
for years. Sorority women have-for
40 years looked forward to returning
to their University at frequent inter-
yals to see what kind of women have
Ieen chosen'to follow in their train.
Unorganized women have not return-
ed in so great numbers because they
have no place to stay. Many univer-
sities have met the situation through
dormitories and membership in alum.
nae associations. -The alumnae arej
aiding, in interesting prospective stu-
dents, especially high school seniors,
in the university of which they are
graduates."
