:ollection of Dues to Commence
Tuesday, March 4, Under
Chapman's Direction.
Budgeting cf the $5 class dues

tudents in the literary college was
Tinounced yesterday by, Stanton 1
t. Todd, Jr., ,'30, class president,
rho said that he was explaining
he application of the dues money
n order that every senior would be'
ble both to see how class funds
re expended and to appreciate the1
ecessity of fixing dunes at $5.
Year Subscription to Alumnus.
The largest single item in the
udget of each senior's dues is a
2 appropriation which serves to
ay a year's subscription to the
lchigan Alumnus, official publi-
ation of the University Alumni
ssociation. This $2 secures the
ubscription at a special bargain
rice since the regular annual rate
s $4. Special arrangements with
. Hawley Tapping, general secre-
nary of the association, enable
enior class officers to make this
special offer.
To familiarize members of the
enior class with the contents of
;he Alumnus, which is said to b
ne of the best college alumni pub-
ications in the United States, Mr.
rapping has agreed to mail com-
limentary copies of next week's
ssue to all fraternity and sorority
iouses.
Perman-nt Class Secretary.I
The next item on the $5 budget
utlined by Todd is a $1 appropri-
tion to pay the expenses of the
permanent class secretary. It will
be the duty of this secretary to co-
operate with Fred Randall of the
Class Officers counsel 'with head-
quarters in Alumni Memorial hall
n maintaining close alumni con-
acts between the members of the
present senior class.
The relatively large expense of
this plan is to be entailed by the
establishment of alumni mailing
ists, through which items of class
news and of general alumni inter-
est will be mailed three times each
year to class members.
Pay for Class Day Expense.
To cover class day expenses, 50
cents will be budgeted from the $5
dues, and a like amount will be
used to partly defray expenses in-
urred by the pages in connection
with the senior section in the
Michiganensian and with the
senior pictures therein printed.
Another $1 item is designed to
cover the cost of a class memorial
and to discharee .incidental ex-
penses incurred in the various class
functions this spring.
Collection of dues will start
Tuesday, March 4, Robert C. Chap-
man, '30, will supervise collections.
Tables are to be located in Angell
hall lobby and in University hail
to serve as treasurers' offices.
Only a few days are to be allotted
to collection of dues, it was an-
nounced, since all seniors are ex-
pected to appear promptly at the
designated offices for payment of
dues.

MICHIGA-N, SECOND -IN CONFERENCE5,
TO MEET LOWLY RATEDIMAROONFIVE
SIN CONTEST AT FHELD HOUSE TONIGHT
Chicago Cagers Have Scored Sole Victory Over
Wisconsin; Michigan's Hopes Raised
After Downing Indiana,
PVlJldward f1.. Warne
Fimally having attained a victory over a Conference team. Ch
cago's basketball quintet will invade Yost field house at 7:30 o'clock-
tonight for a game with Coach Veenker's charges, now holding sec-
and place in the standings. The Maroons registered their first win
of the season when they upset Wisconsin last Saturday. but then
are still in the cellar position, deadlocked with Ohio State for last
place.
E aving disposed of Indiana on its own floor in what was re-
garded as one of the toughest encounters of the season, the Wolver-
ines are breathing easier. Ihe fact that Chicago defeated Viscon-
sin also is a iactor in tavor of the Maize and Blue cagers. When a
team has gone through seven gantes without a victory. it is likely
to break loose some time and surprise the populace by beating the
tonight's game a more interesting
affair. Hitherto the Wolverines
were likely to regard Chicago as a
setup, especially in view of the fact
that they did not have much diffi-
culty in scoring a 29-16 victory over
their rivals last semester in the
Windy City.
Chicago Has a Chance.
But now that Coach Norgren's
hopefuls have vanquished Wiscon-
sin, co-holders of the title last
year, they must be reckoned as an
opponent not to be taken light-
ly.
Paul Stephenson, diminutive sub-
stitute who was the hero of the
Wisconsin fray when he scored 8
points in the last four minutes to
overcome the Badger lead and give
his team a 23-21 win, has earned a
regular berth at forward. Capt.
Harry Changnon will be at the
other forward for the invaders,
while Boesl will jump, center. Mar-
shall Fish, regarded as an accurate
shot; will be at one guard post,
while the other will be filled by
Ashley.
To Use Same Lineups.
Coach Veenker will stand pat on
his lineup, using the same combin-.
ation that disposed of Indiana by
a 21-18 score. Norm Daniels, who
started his first game of the sea-
son against the Hoosiers and con-
nected for four baskets and a free
throw to lead the Wolverines in
scoring, will take over one forward
position. Hank Weiss, speedy soph-
omore, is due to be Daniels' run-
ning mate.
Joe Truskowski will play offen-
sive center with Captain Chapman
taking the tip-off as usual. Bill
Orwig will pair with Chapman -at
guard. If the Wolverines ,run up
a large score early in the contest,
some of the Michigan substitutes
may see action.
