The meeting will be held when all bids on the pool are in the hands of the engineers. Can Start Work Funds pledged for the support of the pool obtained in the recent drive to get 2,000 students who would pledge $5 in the form of a swimming ticket and additional cash that has been on hand for the pool project, make, the step possible. , With the moneythat is procurable through these two means and the other funds that will be obtained through the Fair that is being platined for somie time in the spring, it is possible to start actual work on the pool. The work for which bids are being let will include tiling, brick worl, and similar operations. The locker rooms- that were originally constructed will be changed to allow a number of showers to be put In,, another firm carrying out these changes. A fil- tration plant that will be used to pur- i ify all w4ter that is used in the pool will also be installed, making the pool one of the most complete and best equipped in this section of the coun- try.

COOLLYTONIGHTi Character and Services of Man Will Receive Mark of Appreciation At Dinner DENBY, BURTON AND OSBORNE TO SPEAK ON DEAN'S MERITS' Dean Morticer E. Cooley of the Col- leges of Engineering and Architecture' will be honored at a banquet to be1 held at the Hotel Statler in Detroit at 6:30 o'clock tonight, which more than 5,000 people are expected to at-' tend. The dinner is being given by four engineering organizations in De- troit, the Detroit Engineering society the Detroit section of the American Society of Civil engineers, the Detroit section of the American Society of Mechanical engineers and the Detroit and Ann Aror sections of the Amer- ican Society of Electrical engineers, who are in this way endeavoring to honor the character and services of Dean Cooley. The dinner has no connection with the Dean's temporary retirement, ac- cording to members of the committee for the affair, but is an independent effort to pay respect to a man who has done much toward the advance- ment of his profession and his coun- try's affairs. Edwin L. Denby, '96L, secretary of the navy, President Marion L. Bur- ton, Chase S. Osborn, ex-governor of Michigan, and many other men prom- inent in national and engineering cir- cles will attend. Frank E. Doremus, mayor of De- .troit, will make the speech of wel- come, followed by the introduction of the toastmaster, Mr. Walter S. Rus- sell of the American Society of Me- chanical engineers. The following toasts will then ben given in honor of Dean Cooley: "At His Boyhood Home," Judge Robert F. Thompson of the New York Supreme Court: "As Cadet and Ensign," Ira N. Hollis, president of the Worcester polytech- nic institute: "As Professor of Me- chanical Engineering," Ernest B. Perry, manager of industrial works at Bay City; "In the Service of His County," Mr. Denby; "On the Yose- mite," Granger Whitney; "As Dean o Engineering and Architecture," Pres- ident Burton; "In the Engineering Profession," F. Paul Anderson, dean of engineering in the University o Kentucky;' "In the Federated Ameri- can Engineering Societies," Phillip M. Moore, vice president of the Federat- ed American Engineering societies; and "As a Companion," Mr. Osborn. Tickets for the banquet have been sent out by the Detroit Engineering society and the seating will be ar- ranged by the numbers stamped on the tickets which correspond to the numbers on the seats. UNION TOISTRIBUTE OPERA PPICTIN In a series of emphatic resolutions voicing disapproval of "the growing tendency to transform the amateur col- legiate contest into a pubic spec- tacle", the Board of Regents at their monthlysession last night wenthn record as opposed to any of the vari- ous plans recently proposed for en- ormous expansion of the University's football stadium at Ferry field. The Regents' action was aimed specifical- ly at the recent suggest.ion that the University solicit a fund of $1,500,000 for such a purpose, the reason for the opinion being "the othervery proper demands that have been and may be made upon our graduates and the con- stituency of the University" Would Finish Concrete Stadium , Although discountenancing "the present undue emphasis upon Inter- collegiate athletics" the Regents rec- ommended completion of the concrete. stadium heretofore considered, which will render available about 13,000 ad- ditional seats at football games, mak- ing the total possible attendance at such contests, 50,000. "Intercollegiate athletics should be conducted primarily for the students and alumni of the competing institu- tions, for their friends and families, and for the immediate constituencies of the participating schools," reads the statement. "Consideration must be given to certain very practical as- pects of the problem arising out of the limitations of a small city such as Ann Arbor. Spectators imst be' pr- I vided with meals and housing facil- ities. Special trains require railroad yards which do not exist .and- could only be provided with great difficulty. The parking of automobiles is already a perplexing problem." Recommendations in behalf of the establishment at Mihigan of a epar-' ate school of business administration were heard bytthe Regents who an nounced that they wouldlookwith favor upon any difinitely formulated plan for the foundation of such a school. Prof. Edmund E. Day of the economics department appeared be- fore the meeting and proposed the organization of a five-year course ending with the degree of master of business administration, three years of which would be occupied with work In the literary college and the last two in the newly-created school. Deans Favor New Plan Professor Day stated that his sug- gestion had the sanction of the Deans' conference and that it was in keeping with the tendency of such schools as the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard university both of which re- quire thorough preparation for busi- ness administration study. Under the arrangement advocated, Professor Day would retain his position as chair- man of the department of economics In the literary school and would also be dean of the school of business administration. It is expected: that these recommendations will be defi- iely formulated and passed upon fin- ally at the December session of the Board. In regard to the question of the use, of University buildings' for speeches which arose in connection with the barring of George W. Wick- ersham from Hill auditorium on the grounds that his address was "polit- ical propaganda", the Regents adher- ed to their policy of being guided by the opinion of University officials. President Marion L. Burton was au- thorized to obtain from the deans of (the various colleges their attitude to- wards the framing of a set of regula-. tions covering all such cases. The Regents expressed confidence in the judgment of the deans and signified willingness to abide by their decision. Plan B Abolished The Regents voted to abolish Plan B for admission of students to the - literary college, this to take effect - in March 1925 and therefore appiying - to all persons who seek entrance af ter that date. Plan B provides that e persons seeking admission to the lit r erary college, may enter conditioially . without presenting one or more of thE r prescribed units: English, foreig; t language, algebra, geometry and lab- a oratory science. Under the new rul- e ing, unqualified compliance with these s prescriptions will be necessary to gain - entrance. b held logical talks of the H.

Research Engineers Last to Move Research engineers are the latest to move from the Chemistry building to. the new quarters. Prof. A. E.
