COMPLETION OF UNION SWIVMING POOL WOULD ENABLE MICHIGAN
TO COMPETE IN AQUATIC SPORTS OF WESTERN
CONFERENCE, DECLARED
(By Wallace F. Elliott)
" -And when we get the pool?" The pool, a dream of Michigan stu-
dents for many years that is now in the process of realization,-a hope of
Michigan athletics that seems soon to become a reality. For the completion
of the great hole in the floor of the magnificent Union building will mean
many things to Michigan students and alumni with the coming of swimming
as a Varsity sport chief among them.
Many have been students who have taken occasion to visit the Y. M.
C. A. tank and watch the present informal team in action, but there are
countless more who have not been there yet are anxious to know just what
Michigan can offer in the way of a swimming team for Conference
competition.
First and foremost is Coach Elmer Drulard, the man who, more than any
other, has put swimming into its present status in popularity. For two years
he has worked tirelessly and the re-
sults of his labors are well worth the or well ahead of, the fastest in the

(By T. S. R.)
In the late lamented war there was a certain American infantry batallion
that thought it had a good major. That probably, is the superlative degree
of praise. This major was long on all-around manhood and short on all-
around education; every time he opened his mouth all the lexicographers
from the original lex on down pulled an "about turn" in their graves.
' :So much for the setting. Now for the tale. One delightful morning in
July, 1918, when the French rain was raining as only French rain can, this
major pointed out a small woods to one of his captains and said: "See
them woods? Go and get 'em."
That is the big idea back of the Union fund-gathering contest which is
to be pifilled off during the holidays. The Union might have assumed an
attitude of "watchful waiting" and offered'up its prayer that some kind
alumnus would come along, take one glance at.the dry pool, and grab for
his check book. It might have done all that-but it didn't. The Union has
started out to get that pool, just as the
certain infantry outfit started out to every citizen is interested in the Uni-

Result Rests With Students
While Union pool stock may be low
today, it rests entirely in the hands of
6,500 Michigan men students to drive
that stock to par by soliciting alumni,
relatives and friends during the
Christmas vacation. The first week in
January is when the big bulk of
money will come in, and at that time

(Editor's Note-This is the second
of a series of articles concerning the
Engineering college. Others will ,be
published from time to time.)
(By G. L. S.)
Everyone has an idea that the
campus is swamped with societies
which are more or less superficial.
Consequently when an unfamiliar or-
ganization is chanced upon in the reg-
ular perusal of the Michigan Daily,
the usual conclusion is that it is an-
other aimless organization. Such is
not the case at least with the five
technical societies of the Engineering
college.
The Engineering society is the main
organization to which the rest are
subordinate. Some of the professional
societies are student branches of large
national societies with a high tech-
nical standing. The special societies
are The American Society of Me-

chanical Engineers, American Insti-
tute of Electrical Engineers, The Civil
Engineering society, and The Chemi-
cal Engineering society.
Founded Years Ago
The Engineering society itself was
founded in the early days of the Col-
lege of Engineering and has estab-
lished and supported The Michigan
Technic, the official organ of the Engi-
neering college. This society has at
heart the interests of engineering both
as a profession and as a study. Any
student in the whole college is eligible,
while the other societies require that,
a prospective member be at least a
sophomore.
The American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, University of Michigan
Student branch, is exclusively for men
specializing in mechanical engineer-
ing. Its object is to train students to
talk and think independently on engi-

AilrSays-.
The following statement from the chairman of the Board in Con-
trol of Athletics indicates what one of the first results of the comple-
tion of the Union pool will be.
I am very much in favor of recognizing swimming as a Varsity
sport as soon as the Union pool is completed. The fact that the Uni-
versity has not had, adequate facilities for handling that sport has
hitherto stood in the way of its development to a point where it might
be officially recognized. Although the matter has not been filly con-
sidered by the Board in Control of Athletics and so no statement can
be made regarding its Qpinion, I think that the completion of the pool
is apt to have a great inuenfice when action is taken to have the sport
recognized.
PROF. RALPH W. AIGLER,
Chairman of the Board in Control of Athletics.

remember the wave of grief that swept
over the campus on that October day
back in 1909 when the news was
flashed from Minneapolis that the in-
vincible Wolverine machine had been
held even by the Gopher eleven? The
result of the game, was in itself, suf-
ficient blow, but when the squad re-
turned to Ann Arbor with news that
the Jug had been stolen, rage knew
no bounds.
That piece of common clay had
grown to be a talisman to the followers
of Michigan football, its loss was well
nigt a calamity. Needless to say, in
the camp of the Northmen, the acqui-
sition of the Jug was hailed with jow;
it was regarded as a trophy of the vir-
tual victory Minnesota had scored. On
one side was painted in huge letters
"The Michigan Jug," and underneath
this, the legend, "Captured by Oscar,

with a large figure six for Minnesota's
total and a most minute one for the
enemy. News of this depredation w.as
received with cold fury In Agin Arbor
and the wearers of the Maize and Blue
vowed to retrieve their rightful prop-
erty.
Paint Scores
It was only natural on the resump-
tion of athletic relations with Minne-
sota in 1909, that after the Men of
Yost had again proven their superior-
ity over the traditional enemy, the
score should be painted in huge letters
immediately under the first one in-
scribed thereon. In 1910 Michigan ar-
tists again had the opportunity to
beautify the Jug with a winning score
and thus it remained for nine years in
Waterman gymnasium, practically for-
gotten by the present generation of
