it tgU VOL. XXXIII. No. 14 EIGHT PAGES ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1922 EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS Alumni Interest in the newer projects of the University was again demonstrated, when it was announc- ed yesterday in the office of President Marion L. Burton that $5,000 has been given by a donor, who requested that his na me not be published, for the continued maintenance of a fellowship in creative art, in. the niversity President Buton i mediately wired to Robert Frost, the resident poet who has conducted the work during the past year, an invitation to return to Ann Arbor. Mr. Frost's reply sent from his farm home in Bennington, Vt., read: "Arrangement most agreea- ble'as you must know. Thanks for our- selves and whatever we may repre- sent." Mr. Frost and his family will return to Ann Arbor within a short time. President Burton was especially pleased In accepting the fund which makes the return of Robert Frost pos- sible, because it means the continu- ance of a project which makes the University "a leader in the arts." "Within two years," he said, "the experiment has proved successful and the gift which makes it possible for us to continue the work, is grate- fully acknowledged. The work which Robert Frost has accomplished is, ac- cording to the statements of many students, one of the best things they have experienced during the -college year."; President Burton added that the maintenance of the fellowship dem- onstrates that the University is fun- damentally an "educational" in stitu- S'on, The purpose of a poet's rest- dence in Ann Arbor is not to teach students to wr.t poetry but "to make them think, to understand the reali- ties of life." Mr. ,frost, ,ho Iskn own asthe modern "New England" poet, con- ducted talks with groups of students, visited social centers on the campus and delivered public addresses during the 'past year. He is a graduate of Dartmouth university and received degrees from Harvard at the begin- ning of last year. He first became Michigan's resident poet through the'generosity of former ,Gov. Chase S. .Osborn. Previously he was a professor of. English in Am- herst -college. The re-establshment of the creative art fellowship this year is one more step toward an attempt to malie it a permanent part of the University 4 endowment of $100,000, it is etimat ed, would assure its permanence and permit expansion of the work.

FORCES F'OP AID N 'NEAR EAST President Harding Commends Body's" Action in National Appeal For Funds, JOHN BARTON PAYNE IN CHARGE OF APPROPRIATION (By Associated Press) Washington, Oct. 9.-The American Red Cross 'made ready today to extend again alhelping hand across the seas,' this time to aid refugees in the Near East. Announcement was made of the opening of the annual convention of the organization, that its executive committee has placed into the hands of Chairman John Barton Payne all of the' organization's funds and facil- ities with which to give aid to the Near Eastern sufferers. The action brought praise from President Hard- ing, who in a message of greetings. expressed- gratification at the steps; taken to meet the emergency 'and al- ,so at the cooperation the Red Cross had extended With the Near. East re- lief; for both of whom ia national ap- peal for funds was' authorized yester- day by the-president. The committee's decision was that the "job can be done," Chairman Payne announced. "If it takes all the' money, we have, we shall spend it," he declared, "If it takes more we will get it." Chairman Payne said that no appro- priation of funds could be made be- cause the amount required was un- known, but the committee directed him to usesuch funds as he deemed advisable. CONCERT TICKETS SELLING RAPIDLY Sale of tickets for the Choral Un- ion concert is proceeding at such a rate that the success of the course is assured, according to Charles A. Sink, secretary of the University School of Music, under whose auspices the con- certs are being given. Strange to say, the seats which have sold most rap- idly are those which bring the high- est price. Almost every seat down- stairs in Hill auditorium has been ap- plied for. Although there are still plenty of good seats available, Mr. Sink urges all who expect to attend the concerts to secure their seats im- mediately. The tickets for the Extra Concert series, which will present the Detroit Symphony orchestra, are not going as rapidly but the demand is neverthe- less much greater than it was at this time last year. Dean Cooley Recovers From Illness Dean Mortimer E. Cooley of the Ted Sullivan Takes Beginners Through Paces in Seach For New Material ALL MEN TN UNIVERSITY URGED TO PARTICIPATE Michiganis intramural department has initiated a new policy in the de- velopment of intramural work in se- curing Coach Ted Sulivan to personal- ly supervise cross country running in the University, according to Elmer D. Mitchell, head of the Department of Intramural Athletics. Twenty-three men appeared at the initial turnout yesterday afternoon, the largest num- ber in several years. It is the plan of the intramural de- partment to push this sport as never before by the training of all those who are interested and choosing men who stand for the Varsity and freshmen cross country and track squads. No man will be discarded from the work and each person will get the individual attention of Coach Sulivan. Sulivan said that those who report- ed yesterday afternoon were very en- thusiastic and were feeling fit when they returned from the run- "In order not to injure the men,"' he declared, "we ran a short distance, walked, took calisthenics and deep breathing ex- ercises. Every man returned in first class condition and without any phys- ical injury, an unusual thing for the first day." Mr. Mitchell believes it to be a great thing both for the development of Varsity stars and the training of a great number into better physical con- dition. He said, "It is a great im- 'provement over the haphazard meth- od formerly used to develop a cross country team. Previously, the men had no idea how to run or how to train. Consequently they ran too vig- orously the first time and lost enthus- iasm. Now men will stay out, because we have a coach, who has made a life study of the work, to give his person- al attention to each man who wishes to take part in the sport. I believe that it will practically eliminate the necessity-'of Coach Farrell spending from two weeks to a month getting his men in condition to run. It is the first step in the great intramural movement not only to get athletes into competition, but to develop athletes." The officials hope for a double turn- out next time and believe they will have more than 400 men in training soon. Four meets are planned for November, an all-campus meet, a fra- ternity meet, an independent met, and a freshman meet. Everyone who wishes to take part in cross country running should report to Coach Sulli- van at 4 o'clock tomorrow at Water- man gymnasium. Anderson Resigns Faculty Position Gocrfrn,R.A Adprnn'9A P ... 1in ba YOST SECURES 3,5000.S US1T Original 1,500 Block Seen to Be In- sufficient to Seat All Michigan Rooters FLOOD OF APLICATT0NS HEAVIEST IN YEARS Such a rapid and persistent de- mand for tickets for the Ohio State game at Columbus on Oct. 21 has come into the Athletic association of- fices that it has been discovered that the original Michigan allotment of 15,000 seats will -not nearly be enough to take care of all the Wol- verine rooters, and an extra 3,500 tickets have been reserved. This precaution to see that every Michigan student and alumnus, who is intending to follow the team down into Ohio to battle the Buckeye, has a place in the stadium was taken by *Coach Fielding I1. Yost. when" he learned of the constant stream of ap- plications which was flowing into the office, so soon after the announcement of the through train service. Exact figures on the sale so far are not available asthere has not yet been time to have a count taken but it is known that more tickets have been mailed out of the offices so far this year than in any year before. The extra, seats, which come to 3,500 in all, were secured by Coach Yost while in Columbus last Saturday attending the Ohio State-Wesleyan game. ' Three thousand of these are in addition to the 15,000 block al- ready reserved and will sell for the same price as the others, $2.50. The other 500 are box seats which will sell for $3.50. In speaking of the ehavy attendance which thegames this .year are draw- ing, the coach says, "The demand for football tickets is larger this year than ever before in Michigan's foot- ball history. This is true of the 11- linois and Wisconsin games as well as the Ohio State game. There wi'll be no question about there being a capacity crowd at all three of these games." The latest addition to the already largest block of seots that Michigan has ever had at any away-from-home game, will bring the total number up to 18,500, a tremendous crowd when viewed at a foreign school. The lat- est batch of tickets which the coach decided to reserve was brought back after the Ohio State-Wesleyan game by Coach Yost, Goebel and Uteritz who are said to have carefully guard- ed them all the way from Columbus. These will allow plenty of room for the block "M" which the . Booster's club backed by the Athletic associa- tion is fostering. The "M", it is re- ported, will take.up more than 1,500 seats. CHIMES WILL APPEAR ON CAMPUS TOMORROW "FROSH NUMBER" TO CONTAIN STORIES BY BURTON AND LAWTON Heralded as a football number and announced as a special "Frosh Num- ber" the initial issue of Chimes, the campus opinion magazine, will be placed on sale on the campus tomor- row. Carrying this double threat as it does, those responsible for this first number are prophesying that it will take the campus by a storm some- thing like that which surrounded the Case game.
