QUOTA
200 PICKED SOLICITORS '
TO SEE NON-MEMBERS
Silver Loving Cup Offered Salesman
Most Successful in Securing
Aplications
More than 200 picked salesmen, who
will open a campaign this morning to
increase the Union's life membership
role by 1600 new names, met last
night in the assembly hall of the
Union for final instructions. The men
were addressed by Emerson Swart,
'22E, president of the Union, who em-
phasized the importance of the cam-
paign to the forward progress of the
Union. Maynard A. Newton, '22, gen-
eral chairman of the committee for the
drive, explained the system which
will be used in approaching pros-
pective members.
Listed by Districts
Lists of non-members who will be
solicited, which will be used by the
drive workers, are made out accord-
ing to geographically divided dis-
tricts. By concentrating on his dis-
trict alone, which will be confined to
a small area, the solicitor will be able
to attain acertain degree of efilcienc,
with the least possible expenditure of
time and effort.
According, to committee members,
failure to convince the non-member
upon first meeting him will not be ac-
cepted as defeat. In former campaigns
it has been noted that failure to ob-
tain the student's signature on the
first visit, or being met with positive
refusal, was in almost every case due
to the fact that either the solicitor
unintentionally mis-stated a point in
his argument or failed to make him-
self clear to his' listener. When a
second interview is considered neces-
sary, the "flying squadron," a team
composed of the best available solic-
itors on the campus, will be called into
service.
Large Proportion Freshmen
The goal for this year's drive has
been set at 1,600, over 1,400 of whom
are freshmen. The report of the pro-
gress of each team in the race to com-
plete this quota will be submitted at
the Union desk not later than 10
o'clock on each night. According to
the chairman, competition on the com-
mittee will be even keener than last
year, for it has been decided to offer
a silver loving cup to the committee-
man who turns in the largest number
of new applicatiods for membership.
Also the team which -has the highest
standing in the final returns will be
properly recognizede The campaign
will continue three days and will close
with the final reports at 10 o'clock
Thursday ni ht.
Life me ership in the Union, ac-
cording to the, committee chairman,
constitutes.the permanent possession
by the member of all privileges which
he enjoyed while a student, in addition
to any further advantages which may
be added later. The fee is $50, of
which the first annual $10 payment
must be made before or during the
last year of residence at the Univer-
city or in the year succeeding gradu-
ation. If the first payment is made
before Dec. 1 of the last year credit
will be given for the yearly Union fee
paid to the University. Students not
in their last year of residence may
begin payments on a life membership,
but no credit will be given for the
annual fee except that paid in their
last year in the University.
For former students and alumni
wishing to take out life membership
during the year succeeding their grad-
uation the fee is $50 payable in one
bulk sum.
THURSDAY LAST.

not able to visit, I desire to send my greetings to its faculty and stud
body.
"I am a great believer in education - in a thorough one - and I
proud of the fact that I have never ceased to be a student.
"During my journey I have been much impressed at finding that. y
people believe not only in high intellectual standards but also in equ
high moral standards, for out of a long life I am convinced that both
these qualities are equally essential to the making of a great nation."

EX-PRES. HUTCHINS GIVES
MESSAGE FOR UNIVERSITY
Lining the hills, covering every
available box car and roof, clinging
to telephone poles, a crowd of more
than 10,000 greeted Marshal Foch dur-
ing, his short stay here. Before 10
o'clock the mob began to gather and
shortly after 11 o'clock, when the Mar-
shal's special train pulled in, every
point of vantage had been siezed. A
sprinkling of uniforms was reminis-
cent of war time gatherings. As
Marshal Foch's car slipped through
the crowd, the mob greeted him with
a "Marshal Foch locomotive."
A committee headed by President-
emeritus Harry B. Hutchins greeted
the great French soldier and escorted
him to the platform on the hillside.
Standing between the tri-color of
France and the Stars and Stripes of
the United States, President-emeritus
Hutchins introduced the Marshal, pre-
sented him with a testimonial from the
University and spoke as follows:
Marshal Foch: "In the necessary
absence of our President, which we all
keenly regret, I have been asked to
convey to you greetings and welcome
from the city of Ann Arbor and the
University of Michigan. It is an hon-
or, sir, to have you with us even for a
few moments. This will always be a
red-letter day in our calendar. You
will realize this when I say to you'
that more than 12,000 alumni and
graduates of the University served in
the World war for liberty and dem-
ocracy under your distinguished lead-
ership and that more than 200 made
the supreme sacrifices. On behalf of
the Regents of the University, the
faculties, and the students, I present
to you this testimonial of greeting and
appreciation."
Marshall Expresses Thanks
The Marshal accepted the envelope
tied with a yellow and blue streamer
and expressed his thanks, bowing to
the surrounding crowd. The testimon
lal was prepared under the direction
of Prof. Rene Talamon, of the French
department, and was executed in 11

has desired that no statements b
sought for by newspaper men so a
to save the Marshal as much effor

courtesy of Francis Drake, who wa
born in Detroit and who is at presen
