Name of Department Is Altered;
Professor Sanders Is,
Named Head.
A reorganization of the depart-
ment of speech, accompanied by a
change in the name of the depart-
ment, was effected recently, accbrd-
ing to an announcement from the
office of the president of the uni-
versity. -
Prof. Henry A. Sanders, former-'
ly of the Latin department, has
been made head of the speech de-
partment which is now to be called
speech, phonetics, and general lin-
guistics. The change was arranged
partly because of the fact that
there had been considerable, over-
lapping and confusion between the
spech ,department and the courses
in phonetics and linguistics, which
were formerly allied with the Latin
department.
Another reason for the change
was a general dissatisfaction a-
mong iembers of the teaching
staff with the policies under which
the department was being adminis-
tered, according to unofficial state-
ments by faculty members.

Gunnery Classes
Evidently in. preparation for a
possible summons to return and
fight, approximately 15 Chinese
students, in addition to those al-,
ready enrolled, have entered classes
in the Michigan department of mil-
itary .science and tactics this se-
mester. In order to take the work,
since they are not United States
citizens, they must-pay all expenses
of uniform and equipment.
Major Basil D. Edwards, head of
the military department, stated
that it was not unusual for alien
students to enroll in the courses,
but that none could become official
R. O. T. C. members, though any
student may attend the classes.
Several of the Chinese are taking
