A large number of students, who rented double rooms, and who want roommates, have listed, their names with the committee, whose headquart- ers is in the office of the Dean of students.

All such cards must be in the office by Monday night, Oc- tober 2. In addition, each campus organiza- tion is asked to leave the name and address of one of its members at the office to be used for reference. All fraternities and sororities and house clubs are asked to send in a complete list of their members not later than the above date. NO STA'NDTAKEN Democratic Convention Deems Time Inopportune for Endorsement of Manfuacturer To bring out enough men to make a strong reserve football squad is the purpose of a campaign launched yesterday by Coach Fielding H. Yost and his staff. Letters are being cir- culated to the fraternities and in- dependent organizations on the campus appealing for men. All those who have had any football experience at all are being asked to report. Varsity HandIcapped The weakness of the reserve team and the comparatively few men that are contending for positions is a grave handicap to the varsity at the present moment, according to Coach Yost. When the call for men was made the number reporting wassmall. More than a hundred 'are trying for positions on the frehsman team but it is impossible to use these men in competition against the varsity more4 than a few times In the season.. Soph- omores and upper classmen are ap- pealed to in the campaign, the coach stated, and it is upon them that the success of the reserves and varsity depends. The Ohio State game looms close ahead, it is pointed out. The appeal made in yesterday's Daily brought out only six new men, increasing the reserve squad to 25. This immber is far .inadequate for a squad of this nature, Coach . Fisher, who has charge of the reserves, states. In commenting upon the personnel of those now on the reserve squad the coach emphasized particularly the Sof b aikfield men and ends.Jhe line that is now in operation is of fairly good caliber, according to his statement, but the remaining posi- tions. are poorly filled. Reserves Glaring Wea-kness In his appeal the coach says: "Just now our glaring weakness is in the reserves. Out of a student body of over eight thousand only a handful are reporting for the reserve team-hardly enough to line up, let alone enough to make a good team. And right here is where Michigan spirit meets its real test. If Michigan spirit means any- thing it surely means that the Uni- versity i worth working for. Can it' be interpreted in terms of work? What are ycfu doing? Are you making a man of yourself and building for Michi- gait on the gridiron, or are you 'let- ting George do it'? "Today is the time for action. There: is no better way for you to serve Michigan athletics than to report to Coach Fisher at once. Take it easy, but work is necessary. Talk accom- glishes nothing-work beats Ohio State. "Which do you choose for your motto?" asks Coach Yost.. PPEAS. TO PHARICS Dr. Stevens Urges Them to Raise Standard of Work by Doing Prescriptions Only Preceding his remarks with a brief outline of the history of the Pharmic school since its inauguration in the University more than fifty years ago, Dr. A. B. Stevens of Escondido, Calif., and former dean of the college of pharmacy, last night encouraged the students of that school to work to bring the profession intorepute by establishing stores that are strictly prescription stores and not depart- ment houses. Dr. Stevens urged the members of the school first to study the things for which they were most fitted and later to strengthen themselves in the subjects in which they were weakest. An appeal was made at the close of the meeting for support of the Prescott club, an organization of pharmacy students. Gargoyle Business Tryouts Wanted Tryouts for the business staff of the Gargoyle are asked to report at the office in the Press building between 2 and 4 o'clock today.

Burton, preliminary to the regular meeting which will be held tay. Questions which will be brought be- fore the meeting were :ot given out, but it was expected that the ses- sion would continue throughout the entire day. The proposal to establish a school for nurses in the University which has caused comment from the mem- bers of the medical profession in the state, will probably be discussed but it was not thought that any definite action would be taken. The proposal was made at the last meeting of the Board of Regents last year, by Dr. C. G. Parnall, director of the University hospital.

Frank Thomas will be the director of the club. The program for the year, accord- ing to Stevens, will consist ofa fall serenade, several week-end trips, tap- room entertainments, an extended spring vacation trip, and other events to be announced later. Efforts are now under way to make it possible for! the Glee clubs to entertain at the meeting on Traditions Night . NEW ART WORKS ON EXHIBITION (By T. H.) Word has been received that the collection of portraits of distinguished war leaders of America and the Allies has arrived in Ann Arbor. The por- traits are painted by the most eminent American artists. The collection hung in the Metropolitan Museum of New York. 'They will be ready for exhi- bition in Ann Arbor next week. Two new paintings from the Albert1 M. Todd collection are hung in thei north gallery of Alumni Memorial Hall. One, A Summer Night, Lake1 Placid, by Joseph H. Boston, is a study in blue gold and rather ill defined. The Wind Flurry painted by Charles Curran depicts four typi'cal young American girls, on a hilltop on a ,windy day. It ispermeated with buoy-, ancy and vigor. An extensive exhibition of the work' of last year's architectural is still being held in Alumni Memorial Hall. The exhibition was first hung last June' especially for Commencement week. SCHOOL CHILDREN POISONED BY FOOD EATEN AT LUNCH Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 28.-Sever- al hundred students of the Woodlawn High School here have been stricken with ptomaine poistning as a result of food eaten at the school's lunch room, according to authorities. A number are said to be seriously ill,' but no fatalities have been reported. According to information received from their parents, the children were stricken immediately after the lunch hour. Some were said to have been Fill Football Reserve Ranks Three more minutes of play!

Michigan's Varsity is calling for lpyal, red-blooded men to help build a championship machine for Michigan.

This is especially true of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, al- though there are individual examples of over-crowding in some of the other branches of the University. Even the rooms borrowed from oth.- er schools, and the formation of im! provised class rooms within the lit- erary school will not entirely meet the situation there. Certain depart- inents have already petitioned for ex- tra rooms at specified hours, others are expected to do so witiin the next few days. None of the classes, however, will be conducted in an over-crowded fashion. Wherever this appears some solution will be found before long, ac- the creation of new classrooms, and with the addition of extra sections, cording to University officials, and the limitation of certain sections, the room shortage will soon be adjusted.

As was the case two years ago, the PLUNKETT'GIS NAVAL HI STOR SAYS 99 PER CENT 01? GUNNERS WERE TRAINED TO SHARPSHOOTING MICHIGAN MEN INSPIRED TRUST, SAYS ADMIRAL Naval Admiral Tells of Experiences Before Recor# Crowd. a' Union Drawing one of the largest crowds ever seen at any Michigan smoker, the Engineering society attracted an audi ence last night that filled the ballroom of the Union to capacity. Tracing the development of the United States. navy as he grew up with it and saw it de- velop, Admiral Charles B. Plunkett contrasted the old sea fighting force with that of the present day. "The navy is a funny thing," said Plunkett, "and it takes a lot of courage. I started in when I was 15 Years old." Then he told how, as a. boy living in Washing- ton, D. C., he had to go directly to the President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, to get his ap- pointment to Anapolis Naval Academy, 43 years ago. Saw Navy' Grow "I have seen the navy grow up from a sailing ship to the most powerful thing afloat, the electrically driven battleship; from the organization largely manned by foreign men to that by 100 per cent Americans; from the one-cylinder steam engine carrying 15 pounds pressure to the square inch to the electric battleship; from the big- gest guns of 8 inches to the 16-inch guns of today; from ships carrying 175 men -to those requiring 1600. "We have added the torpedo boat destroyer, the submarine, airplanes, and the mine layers. That was the reason I took the job of the 150-ton gun when they asked me to put it on a railroad car and to run crazy around France with it." Missed Only One Fight In speaking of his range of action during the years of his service in the navy, the Admiral declared, "I was in every fight in which the United States was engaged, except the Boxer Re- bellion, and that was because I couldn't speak Chinese!" In.speaking of the education that is given in Annapolis, Plunkett said, "Nowhere in the world can you get a better training for making a success; it is all right if you don't weaken." Turning to his most recent activity, his work during the World War, the Admiral went on to tell how he had As yet arrangements have not been made to enter the' contest, 'but it is hoped that the possibilities of en- trance, may be realized. The winner: of the contest at Chicago will com- pete in the national contest to be held later in the -East. The. larger universities which have thus far joined the club are: the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, the University of Illinois, .Iowa State University, Northwestern University, the Univer- sity of Chicago, and. many of the larg- er Eastern universities.. The smaller! universities which have so far joined are: Grinnell, Wabash, Beloit, and Milliken. The idea of a national glee club has found favor with many as proved by the recent growth of the club, and a campaign is now being held amohg the Big Ten schools to increase the membership of the organization. NAVA GARHISUON WIPED OUT BY POWDER BLAST (By Associated Press) Spezia, Italy, Sept. 28.-The .entire naval garrison at Falconara Fort, near here, on the Gulf of Genoa, is believed to have been killed in an explosion ,caused by lightning, which destroyed everything within a radius of 10 miles. There are many hun- dreds of wounded. Seventy bodies have been recover- ed. Fifteen hundred tons of explo- sives were stored in the deep tun- nels of the fort.' The entire top of the hill on which it is located was blown away. The work of recovering additional dead is proceeding. No es- timate has as yet been made of their number. The wounded jare being rushed to the hospitals here, all of which are already filled. Military forces have been assigned to the work of rescue. All Fascisti of the province of Genoa have been mobilized to assist the Sold- iers. - I - ha n4 nlci; r nra vnlt Democrats failed to make a choice for charge of thousands of men whom the position of state auditor general, he trained only to shoot small pieces passing a resolution praising the pres- I and how 99 per cent of them became ent incumbent, O.
