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,, o LITS TO SELECT CELEBRITIES OF CLASS EFITS OF FOUR YEARS OF TUDY TO BE DETERMINED TODAY i toe ! iclusions Personal reached by s after four ttendance at bared to the ilds elections nior lits" at in room 205 of She se afternoon The Tick beneficial, course, the big- njoyable course, the most pop- meet man, the i open to both luff er, the big- ed as to sex), an, the jolliest it is be- girl, the greatest fusser, first man to the other be married, fig it girl to be married, and the worst knocker will all re- said thatceive more or less public recognition, 1 of pre- To R ~ear 1epoirts to Direc- Aside from the main attraction, intrusted the class will hear reports from the p of gov- treasurer, the pipe and cane, the in- sident in vitation, and ,the cap and gown com- ack the -mittees.

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.

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."
