THE WEATHER PROBABILY SHOWERS TDY1 VOL. 'XXXIII. No. 42 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1922 SUBSCRIBE FOR YOUR "'ENSIAI PRICE. FIVE C Will Have 28 classrooms, Together with Offices for Deans and Faculty Men Markng a departure from the plain- er utilitarian buildings of the cam- pus the new literary building the ac- cepted design of which is shown above, will satisfy more fully those who prize the aesthetic value of mod- ern uiniersity structures. The first sketches of the exterior of the building called for 12 large Ionic columns so designed as to harmonize with a memorial campanile equiva- lent approximately to 16 stories in height. Many alumni and members of the faculty, however, registered ob- jections to the original plans, so. that the accepted study calls for 8 instead of 12 columns four and a half feet in diameter, rising three stories at the center of the building. The exterior will have an obvious classic motive. With its large windows, straight lines and cornice, It is designed to harmon- ize well with the other buildings of a simpler style stch as the Natural Sci- ence building;and the Library. Floor Plais Remodeled Since the decision to change the ex- terior of the building it has become necessary to remodel the floor plans slightly, so that the structure will really have four stories instead of three as previously decided. Stakes now set out in front of Uni- versity hall indicate that the first new lit unit will be more than 12 feet from State street, about 300 feet long and approximately 70 feet deep at its wid-. est point. The building will cover an area extending from the old museum nearly to the farther end -of Mason hall.r In all there will be 28 classrooms together with offices for the deans of the literary and graduate schools and for all men of the faculty whose class- es shall be held in the building. Math- ematics and economics libraries . as well as other large rooms will be pro- vided. No Basement in Building Considering the arrangement from floor to floor, it may be said that there will be no basement in the building, although there will be necessarily some excavations for fan and other machine rooms, for the heating tun- nels, switch Boards, and vacuum cleaner apparatus. The first floor will be enriched by the bronze doors which open back of the Ionic columns andI lead into the marble and plaster main corridor. Opening fron this corridor will be the offices of the deans of thej College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and of the Graduate school. A total of nine classrooms. are planned (Continued on Page Eight) WIL SPAKWEDNESDAY SIR BASI TM .MSON WILL TELL oF EXPERIENCES WITH CHIMINALS "My Experiences in Scotland Yard" will be the topic of Sir Basil Thom- son's lecture Wednesday night, Nov. 15, at Hill auditorium under the au- spices of the Oratorical association. This lecture is the fourth of the num- bers of the association this season and promises to be one of the most in- teresting. Scotland Yard is the head- quarters of the famous British police system. In this department are found many of the world's authorities on crimes and criminals. Uncovered War Photo As head of the criminal Investiga- tion department of Scotland Yard, Sir Basil has had many mysteries to un- ravel. Particularly during the war he was especially active in leading the apprehension of many of the host of spies which then infested. England.' During this time he uncovered an ex- tensive plot to assassinate simultane- ously most of the allied war leaders. Perhaps his most spectacular case was that of the final discovery of the New Literary Building Michigan's new Literary building will be surpassed neither in beauty of design or efficiency in appoint- ment. The state administrative board Thursday gave the University permission to commence construction of Prof. A. W. Vernon of Carleton col- lege writes in a recent issue of the New Republic that fraternities, soror- ities, and inter-collegiate athletics should be abolished from our 'univer- sities, in an effort to get rid the student of the "holiday-seeking type." Professor Vernon also desires the ousting of the type of student who comes to .college seeking a founda- tion for material success, and those who come with inadequate prepara- tion, in a broad sense, for college work.. He berates in no uncertain terms the students who come to col- lege after "learning the calories of food, the intricacies of knitting and carpentering, and abjuring all thought not only of Latin and Greek, but of the wicked German and the frivolous French." According to Professor Vernon, "The fraternity and sorority,or their cam- ouflaged surrogates and the thrills and publicity of inter-collegiate athletics allure them (the holiday-seekers). I, myself, believe the time is- -close at hand to abolish both, these forms .of extra-curricular activities. They have doubtless done much good: the fra- ternity has often been the chief enemy of uncouthness and self-assertion; in- ter-collegiate athletics have moraliz ed the atmosphere of the college. But they are both medicine, corrective and1 henec temporary." TOPS2,00 MARK Fin'iI Figures Show 600 More Than Last Year; 700 Signatures Ob. tamed Yesterday TAKE MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS I IN EFFORT TO GIVE REFUND Coming through on the final day of their four day selling campaign with over 700 subscriptions, 'the 1923 Michiganensian staff y'esterday com- pleted one of the. most successful sales drives in the history of the an- nual. The total number of subscrip- tions obtained during the four days is well in excess of 4,00'0. This is 600 more than were obtained in the fall drive last year. Extend Campaigni Because it is believed that there were many who were unable to sub- scribe during the last few days, the 'Enslan staff has decided to receive subscriptions in the 'Ensian office on the second floor of the Press building during the coming week. The office will be, open from 1:30 untl 5 o'- clock every afternoon. It is hopet that' in this way enough people will sign up to enable them to make pos- sible the. special refund of 50 cents. Thomas G. Kindel, '24, in charge of the drive, explained that the cost of the year book for this year is $5.00 which is 50 cents less than last year. If, as is hoped, a sufficient number of people sign up during the coming week to bring the total up to 3,000, a special rebate of 50 cents will be mailed to all subscribers. Believing that many do not feel able to pay the entire price at this time, the business staff has instituted a plan whereby the payment may be divided into two payments, one at the time of signing and the other when the book appears next June. The cost under this plan is $5.50.

Barnes, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, in an address. yesterday afternoon in the Natural Science auditorium. Mr. Barnes was' formerly president of the United States grain corporation. Opportunities at Peak "The door to industry has never swung so easily and never have such opportunities existed," said Me. Barnes, "Science has standardized production. The production per capi- ta in this country has increased with the aid of science and the devices that science has given." The speaker pointed out that at- though the population of the United States had increased some 30,000,000 in the past 20 years, the farm popula- tion has increased only 2,000,000, and yet farm production has increased. The reason for this he gave as "the adaptation of mechanical devices in the place of manual labor. Concerning the subject of transpor- tation of agricultural products, the speaker said, "The new means provid- ed by the motor truck for transporta- tion of products has aided tremen- dously in the solution of this prob- lem." He showed that the railroads had not expanded to meet the increas- ed need, but the automobile was filling the need. "Twenty-four thousand mil- lion tons of products were carried by the railroads last year and 1,400 mil- lion tons were conveyed by they means of motor transport," continued Mr. Barnes. European Money a Warning Turning to the problem of depreci-, (Continued on Page Two) Minneapolis, Nov. 10.-With pool- room men estimating that tickets for the Minnesota-Iowa game would bring as high as $50 each, federal agents this week rounded up several scalp- ers who paid fines o- $100 without going into court. All tickets found in their possession were confiscated. Ev- en students, crazed by the reports of enormous profiits, have been detect- ed in scalping activities. The practice of scalping has within the last few days paid such astound- ing profits and involved such com- paritively small danger that it now bids fair to become an actual profes- sion among the underworld gangs and unprincipled individuals of the Twin Citie:. VARSITY TAKEIS ON ather and Fisher Expect Hard Game; Yearlings Concede Best Chance for Win KEEFER, KNODE, STEGER TO STlAJIT AS VARSITY BACKS Filled with a hope of making a cred- itable showing and possibly garnering a few points, the Reserves and fresh- men first string teams, each playing a half, will engage the Varsity in a reg- ular game at 2 o'clock this afternoon on Ferry field. No admission will be charged and the gates will be open to the student body and general pub- lic. Coaches Mather and Fisher have picked their men with care and will have two well rounded teams that will give the Varsity a terrible battle from start to finish. It is not known who will start the game for the freshman and the reserve teams, but it is clearly understood that whoever starts will be there with plenty of fight.

'Tis not of dead marble these crosses are fashioned; No iron doth its strength to them give; Ah, no, 'tis of wood, living wood, they are moulded- And the lads sleeping 'neath them still live They stand there so still, like ranks at attention; They stand there and listen for aye. What speech will they hear, those listening crosses, As we who are living pass by? If words are still brutal, if hearts are still selfish, These crosses will call out, "For shame! Hpw dare you be faithless to us who, lie sleeping? How dare soil America's name?" If partisan hate still shouts out its venom, If bigotry still hurls the stone, Those voices will call from far over the water, "Alas, do you leave us alone? "Do you leave us alone in our loyal devotion As we walk the red highway of pain? Why will you not go with us, dare with us, bleed with us, Sharing the loss and the strain?" But no, the crosses, the little white crosses So silent in France far away Will have no occasion to chide or rebuke us, No, rather let each of us pray ri~nt av r hite assmay call usto duity. poisoned pen writer.
