Still it was funny and everybody was feel- ing good natured anyhow for Harvard had finally been beaten and Michiga. "ruled the west." Whistles, firebells, and sirens arriv- ed too late for the comedy but serv- ed in good stead to p~unctuate the sus- pense of the lovers in the feature pic- ture. And all of this happened a whole week after Michigan's baseball team clinched the first major championship that has come to rest in Ann Arbor' since free movies were promised the student body.

Ryan, '28D, 25 years old, was killed, and Gleason S. T. Haase, '30D, was seriously injured when the automobile in which they were going to Flint struck a telephone pole near Clyde, early yesterday morning. The two students were on their way to Flint to visit Ryan's wife and three-month old child when the acci- dent occurred. The two layattthe roadside for nearly two hours after the accident until they were found. Haase was brought into the Hospital about 6 o'clock in the morning with a fractured skull, broken ribs, and a possible fracture in the left arm. At a late hour last night, he had not yet regained consciousness since he was brought into the hospital here, and little hope was held for his recovery. The office of the Dean of Students would not divulge any information whether or not either of the men had a permit to drive, from the University.

Its adopition would have meant that the two major Union officers now se- lected by popular vote at the annual all-ciampus elections held each spring would have been miade appointive while the six vice-presidents of the Union would shave continued toabe elected as previously, one from each school and college of the University, during the spring elections. Balloting Favred Change The balloting, which it is under- stood was heavily in favor of the pro- posed change, was challenged short- ly after the closing of the polls by a number of students and as a result the outcome of the election was not officially announced but was held over until the meeting of the directors held yesterday. At that time, the results of, the vote were presented to the group. 17 in all, with protests from a number cif students. After considering the evidence submitted to them, the boardi held the balloting to have been illeg- all and ruled that the amendment should be submitted t? the student body next fall following the beginning of the new school year. The board of directors as it is now composed includes the president, the recording secretary, and the six vice- presidents of the Union, all of whom are students. Three members of thet faculty, two alumni, the dean of stu- dents, the fifnancial secretary of the Alumni association, and one nrember of the Board of Regents of the Uni- versity ccmplte the group. Propose (hanged functions ( Under the amendment as it will be submitted to the male membership oft the University next fall, the board of directors is expected to function much as the present Board in Control of1 Publications after which it is modeled. The publications board appoints the business managers and managing edi tors of the various publications aftc considering the recommendations and records of the candidates as supplied by the retiring editors and business manargers In a similar way, though not incorp- orated in the amendment text, it is expected that if the new system is adopted, t'b!e president and recording secretary would submit detailedl recommendations giving in ful the record and ability of each applicant for one or the other of the positions. In: support of this scheme, it was argued that it would take the offices out of politics and make it possible forj men who lacked either personal pop- ularity or the strong political and fra- ternity backing necessary for success in the all-campus elections, to enter competition (for Union offices with an I opportunity of reaching the top offices. Board Was Revised It is also argued that under the new plan the six vice-presidents would be given a more important part in Union activities and as a result would be- come better acquainted with the var- ions men working the different Union departments so that in sitting as mem- bers of the board of directors, it would be possible for them to have a personal kowledge and estimate of each man applying. Thus would be assured the board of additional know- ledge and breadth of judgment in mak- ing its selections. The plan was originally proposedi for submission to the Union member- ship more than two month's ago whenE Jeffries brought student opinion fav- orable to the =project to the attention of the board of directors. A reorgan- ization committee composed of Jef- fries, Prof. H. C. Anderson of the mechanical engineering department, and Archie W. Diack, '29D, was ap- pointed.

Rehearsals in the S'pring practice work for the 1928 Union Opera will be concluded this week for all those who have been rehearsing for the last. two weeks, according to Dalton D. Walper '29, general chairman. A great wealth of material has been uncover- ed during the practice period, those who have watched the practices have said. A number of books have already been submitted for consideration and the committee in charge is at work reading the suggested plays. Donal Hamilton Haines of the .iournalism department has had numerous con- ferences with those who have written the books, at which time everyone was instructed as to the aims of this year's opera which will attempt to be entirely new and different from anything in the past, if the plans of those who are in charge succeed. - All those who would like to write music for the production are asked to present their suggestions to the committee on music tomorrow night at eight o'clock in room 308 of the Union. They should either be able to play the music or, have someone with them who can play the selections. In addition men trying out for solo parts should report to the same place at 'even o'clock tomorrow night so that they may sing for the committee. Appointment of Pierce Rosenberg '30 to the position of chairman of the publicity committee for the 1928 Opera was made last night by Walper. Ros- enberg will have charge of all public- ity for the show including Ann Arbor publicity and promotion work for all the cities on the itinerary. In addi- tion, Charles S. Monroe '30 was ap- pointed assistant chairman of the committee and will help in the pub- licity campaign. Other committee chairmanships have not yet been de- cided but will be announced early In the fall as soon as they are chosen by Walper. The choruses have been training faithfully under the direction of Roy Moyer who has devised the routines for six previous Operas. Many unus- ual routines have been practiced by the chorus men, a number of whom have been dailcing for the first time in ladies' high-heeled shoes. INTER-FRA TERNI T Y COUNCIL TO MEET three hurdles while Don ran an al- most perfect race. Martin of Purdue showed himself a truly great miler when he flashed to the tape in the first event 10 yards ahead of Stine, the only one of Gill's five nominees to place. He ran the dis- tance in 4:21.2 over a track a bit damp after a slight rain in the morning. Monroe, Michigan's hope never was able to iget up in the running until the .last lap when he made his fifteenth into an eighth at the tape. Another great performance was chalked up in the second event when Rut Walter passed Baird of Iowa, de- fending champion, in the last 150 yards of the quarter mile to win easily in :48.4. Gist of Chicago sprang, a 'surprise by racing into third with, ease. Stephenson of Indiana was a. disappointment, but his teammate, Abromson took fourth.

Jones finished strong to nose out Pierce of Ohio just two yards ' behind Cooper. - The high jump was one of those mediocre and indecisive affairs with three men tying for first and a like number for fourth and fifth. Carr and Miller of Illinois took 8 points for their team here to put the Illini a- head after 11 events with 40 points to Iowa's 36. Rineheart of Indiana failed to bet- ter his 200 foot toss of yesterday's preliminaries but won.
