STARTED FRIDAY
Museum And Wllianiu 1 1Cleients
Library Among Those
Inspected
Continuing their tour of inspection
of the University, members of the
ways and means committee of the
Michigan House of Representatives
visited the Museum, buildings recent-
ly completed, the William L. Clements'
Library, and the administrative of-
fices yesterday morning.
The appropriation bill, requesting
$3,192,700 for buildings and improve-
ments at the University in the next
two years, was introduced in the
House last Monday, and the ways and
means committee came to Ann Arbor
Fr'iday afternoon to investigate the
needs of the University as set forth
in the -bill.
The largest item calls for $450,000
each -year for a new museum and
equipment. The committee spent most I
of its time yesterday morning inspect-
ing the museum and the annex.
The legislatives also investigated
the offices of the University in con-;
nection with the item of the bill which
calls for $300,000 each year for an
administrative building. The site has
not been definitely selected, but the
vacant lot in front of thO South de-
partment of the hospital has been
considered. This site offers a central
location between the buildings on the
campus, the hospital, power house, and
the Buildings and Grounds depart-
ment.
The committee inspected the Obser-
vatory and the architectural building
Friday afternoon. These build in)
are also affected by the bill, provi-
sions of which call for $260,000 the
first year and $215,000 the second year
for an observatory and equipment, and
$200,000 each year for an architectural
building. In addition the bill pro-
vides $500,00 for land the first year
and $327,700 the second year.
It is expected that the House con-
mittee on ways and means will receive
the bill by the first of the week from
the University committee which has
been considering it. The ways and
means committee will study the bill
for several days before it is acted
upon in the House and sent to the I
Senate.
Following a luncheon yesterday
noon at the Union some of the mem-
llers of the committee left for Detroit.
The remaining members returned to
Lansing late yesterday afternoon.
PLAYMIKERS WILL GIVE
TWO GROUPS OF PLAYSl

possible addition of a third group
4as been announced as the schedule
for the rest of this year by the Ann

Monday Night
As t he finalI number in their present
course, [he Michigan Theatre League,
Will present the Cleveland Players
under the direction of Frederick Mc-
Conell in Luigi Pirandello's "Henry
IV" tomorrow evening in the Whitney
theatre.I
"Henry IV" was produced in New
York last season by Brook Pemberton
under the title of "The Living Mask,"
and should not be confused with
Shakespear's drama of the same
name. Pirandello's work is a modern
melodrama in three acts and con-
cerns an Italian Marquis, who having
lost his mind believes himself to be
Henry IV of Germany. The compli-
cations that arise as his former fiancee
and the man who betrayed him visit
his castle form the basis of the play.
Russell Collins, generally consid-
ered the most competent player con-
nected with the organization, will take
the title-role, marking Mr. Collins'
first appearance in Ann Arbor in an!
important part. In Cleveland he has,
made a unique success with his in-
terpretations of Hamlet and Richard
if.
The complete cast will be as fol-
lows: Henry IV, Russell Collins; The1
Marchioness Matilda Spira, Rachel
Coss Cochran; Her daughter, Frieda, I
Mary Evans The young Marquis
Charles di Nolli, William Young; Bar-
on Toto Belcredi, Carl Reid; Doctor
Dionvsius Genoni, Elmer Lehr; The
Four Private Counsellors, Arnold Kip-l
pen, Ralph Benzies, Crawford Wright, I

leeting Scheduled to Take Place on
Wednesday; Plans to be
Discussed
Union members will meet at 7:15
o'clock next Wednesday in the main
assembly hall to vote on the pro-
osed amendment to the constitu-
ion relative to candidacy for presi-
ency of that organization. The meet-
ng is open to all Union members, and
total of 600 must be there to form
quorum. It will require the favor-
ble vote of at least two thirds, of
he numbers voting to adopt the am-
ndment.
Petitions have been received by
nion officials requesting that the
art of the constitution relating to
he election. of officers be altered. At
resent, candidates for Union officers
re nominated by a nominating com-
ittee which is appointed by the presi-
ent of the Union. In addition, any
ember who is not named by this
ommittee may run for an office by
etting a petition of 200 names ask-
ng that he be placed among the can-V
idates.
The proposed change would make
t necessary for all candidates to be
assed upon by the board of directors
f the Union. The names chosen by
he nominating committee and the
ames of men who wish to run on a
etition would all be submitted to the
irectors for approval and the deci- I
ion of this body would be final. The
oard of directors is composed of stu-
ent representatives from every col-
ege on the campus and representa-
ives of the alumni and the faculty.
The object of the amendment, as
hated in the petitions asking 'the
hange, is to make it impossible for
men who have done no work for the
Union previously to run for office
against men who have been active.
It also seeks to lessen the amount of
campus politics which now prevail
at the spring elections.
After 'the vote on the amendment
has been taken the meeting will be
turned into an informal gathering at
which plans of the Union for the rest
of the year will be discussed. Re-
reshments will be served after the
meeting.

bers on which it received a perfect

By W. H. Stoneman
Northwestern high school of Ile-
troit walked off with the first annual
Michigan indoor interscholastic track
meet last night in Yost field house,
amassing a total of 51 1-2 points,
while Cass Tech, its nearest opponent,
was able to collect but 14.
In winning the first event of its
kind ever held under the auspices of
the Michigan athletic association the
Colt team took first places in eight
of the twelve events on the program
and took other points in four of the
same eight events. The Northwest-
ern athleltes not only exhibited one
of the most perfectly balanced prep
school track teams in the history of
Michigan athletics but their individual

performances were exceptionally bril-
liant, and the marks set by the athletes
promise to stand as meet records for
many seasons to come.
The other teams entered in the car-
nival were all well down in the scor-
ing list. Ann Arbor high school's
team scored in seven events and col-
lected 9 1-2 points for third place
while Austin high of Chicago which
had been expected to make things
interesting for Northwestern was a
.poor fourth with seven points. De-
troit Central, Toledo Waite, Coldwater,
and Kalamazoo Central were all tied
for fifth place with six points, Detroit
I Southwestern was eighth with 5 1-2
points and Highland Park came next
in order with 5 points. Seven other
schools including Flint Central, De-
Itroit Northern, Battle Creek, Niles,
Detroit Eastern, Kalamazoo Normal
high, and Detroit Northeastern com-
pleted the list of teams scoring, most
of them with three points or less.
Charles Ross of Detroit Northwest-
ern was the individual star of the
meet with first places in the fifty
yard dash and the low hurdles, both
of which events drew exceptionally
large fields. The Colt sprinter won
both events by safe margins and made
fast time in both, running the dash in
5.6 seconds and the hurdles in 7 sec-
onds flat. Carlson, of the same team,
set a record that will probably stand
for years when he tossed the shot
47 feet- 4 3-4 inches, one of the best
marks that has ever been made in this
event in a Michigan interscholastic
meet. Don Seegar, also of the winn-
ing team, was a third performer who
raided his team in its smashing vie-
I tory. After winning the half mile
from a fast field in 2:09.6 he came
, back 20 minutes later and ran his
s team to'victory in the medely relay.
