at L ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1923 EDITORIAL MICHIGAN ENTERED IN NATIONAL MEET AT HICAGO TODAY r ,. CHANGES IN TIME MADE AS GRADJATION DAY NEARS 4 IN ,1 TIlE ALLUMNI SHARE In welcoming the alumni back5 to their Alma Mater the present genera- tion of Michigan men and women feel a peculiar sense of indebtedness to those who have preceded them. Grad- uates who departed from the academic life of the University some years ago are not conscious of the value as- cribed to, them because of the sys- tems and principles under which they labored while actively enrolled here. All of life is one extensive experi- ment and the imperfections of uni- versity life which have been correct- ed, or in some measure remedied, are a result of the experiments carried out upon our predecessors. In try- ing to comprehend the great strides made by. Michigan in the past few years, every alumnus should feel just- ified in eonsidering himself a contri- butor to its progress. Somehave a greater right to such consideration than others, to -be sure, but all at least served as subjects for the furth- ering of this great and endless educa- tional experiment. CLEMENTS AMERICANA Housed in a gem of architecture erected a a monument to the history of America, the Clements collection of Americana is one of the most signif- icant treasures to which Michigan can lay claim. One of the ranking collec- tions of its kind in the country, this recent acquisition will serve as an inspiration to the future students o~f the University, an incentive to delve deeper inrtq the story of their coun- 1IG TEN try. The Clements Library, as it is ded- icated today, may be considered one of the architectural masterpieces of the country. 'Standing out as a radi- ant oriental gem against a field of cold, uncomely red and grey build- ings, this classic edifice, so delicate in its massiveness, so simple in all of its' detail, is in the fullest sense an ex- pression of unimpaire'd beauty. - In calling the new building a li- brary, one naturally thinks of the systematized organization of our gen- eral libraries, but the warm, and in- formal tone of the exquisite furnish- ings that have been used in outfitting the library mark it as distinctly dif- ferent from the ordinary conceptior of such a structure. It is a building filled with a personal tone, a home for the collection not a library build- ing. To Regent William L. Clements the (Continued on Page Two) CHAMPS EXPECTE)QD TO COP MANY HONORS MANY STA RS TO MEET IN YEAR'S SECOND TRY Fifty seven Schools Will Take Part in Events; Preliminaries Today Fourteen Wolverine athletes are to- day in Chicago awaiting the start of the National Intercollegiates. With 57 schools represented by more than- 300 athletes, some stiff competition is looked for. Michigan is expected to put up among the best. showings at the meet. Many of the -athletes who appeared here in the Conference meet are present at the Chicago meet this week end. Representation Strong The Maize and Blue is represented by Wittman in the 100 yard dash, Martin in the 440, Reinke and Hat-, tendorf in the half mile, Isbell in the two mile, Smith, N'lufer and MacEl- lven in the high jump, Brooker and Prosser in the pole vault, Hubbard in the hurdles and broad jump, Van Orden and Schmidt in the shot, Brook- er in the discus throw and Hindes in the hammer. Whether Wittman can duplicate the performance which he gave here Junej 5 when he won over Ayers, of Illinois, and Tykle, of Purdue; favorites in the 100; is doubtful. However the Wol-1 verine sprinter is determined to show that his fete was not due to a "good day," and is set on winning over the two men tomorrow. Competition from other schools entering in this event will make first honors a bit harder to attain. Reinke is anxious to stage a come-1 back in the half mile event after his run here in which he placed fourth, and in-which Illinois copped both first and second, barely beating out Krough, of Chicago, who lead the field most'of the way. Hubbard, who has been smashing records right and left in the broad jump, is expected to c'ome through with some spectacular performance at the Chicago meet. With his leap here two weeks ago a small inch and a half behind the worl'd's record, the colored star is bent on stepping over the ground and" putting himself in the athletic hall of fame. Hubbard Anxious In the hurdles also Hubbard will have a chance to prove his worth. The star, who lost his opportunity of winning the event here, is anxious to clear the timbers ahead of John- son of Illinois when the finals are run tomorrow. Attention has heels called to the change in time for gr'adua- tion events Monday iorning. All events scheduled as part of the graduation exercises have been moved ahead one hour. The Comznencnent proces- sion will form at 7:45 o'clock Monday mornhig, the classes as- sembling at their indicated sta- tions. The march to Ferry field will start promptly at 8 o'clock, and the Conunen cement exer- eises proper will begin at 9 o'- clock. Members of special bodies, such as honor guard or color bearers, must report promptly or loose their places, those in charge of arrangements aver.

TICKETS FOR BALL GAMES GO ON SALE THIS MORNING I LIB TO] BEFOREBIGTN O ES Pr test of the recent Conference track and field meet ruling which al- lowed Michigan to win half a point over Illinois was denied Wednesday by the graduate managing commit- tee of the Western Conference. The dispute arose when Referee Dean called for a re-run of the hurdle event because some of the timbers had been misplaced. Competitors from other schools refused to run and Referee Dean called the event off. Coach Gill, of Illini, who held his men from other events and lost pos- sible points which might have given him the meet, protested the ruling. The committee Wednesday showed themselves thoroughly back .of Ref- eree Dean and his decision and re- fused to consider the protest which had been entered by Coach Gill. AMPLIFIERS PROVE W ORT H IN TESTS. That the amplifiers at Ferry field would give complete satisfaction in the coning exercises was attested to yesterday following a trial of the ap- paratus. The devices, which have been in- stalled, cause the human voice to be projected to all parts of the huge football standsawith clearness. Those in charge of the arrangements expect, no difficulty from persons who are at the edge of the crowd not being able to hear. Tests to "move" the organ in Hill auditorium to the field by radio werek less successful. Echos created in the auditorium make the project bad and the idea of having the organ at Fer- ry field has been abandoned. I i ATHLETIC RECORD 8OOK GOES ON SALETODAY "Michigan in Western Conference Athletics" is the name of a book pub- lished and to gp on sale today, which gives a short history of the record of the Maize and Blue and. stresses the past season when six Conference championships were won by the Uni- versity. The book, a 32 page volume, is claimed to be rich in still and action photographs. The cover, in striking colors, depicts a football play. A' re- sume of the season and a resume of competition since Michigan has been in the Big Ten are .included. The six championship teams, with their -captains and captains-elect and seniors on the teams 'are pictured 'in the book, and the other sports are rec- ognized by group pictures and pic- tures of the captains. In all the book contains 86 cuts. The souvenir volume goes on sale today at news stands and other places where it will reach students and visit- ors.

Van Orden is expected to have to go over the 43 feet 8 3-4 inches which he did here, in order to cop off first honors. With more entries in the event, miany of which .are showing good form, the heavy Wolverine will have to toss the shot in good style to place first. Isbell is expected to take off the two mile °run. The wiry little dis- tance man, as yet never pushed in a' race, is expected to have to step in the meet at Chicago. Accustomed to win all of his races handily and sav- ing a great amount of reserve, there is no telling what the man will do if he is given a stiff trial.. Brooker Has Good Chance Brooker and Prosser are looked to for plaegs in the pole vault, with a good possibility of Brooker landing a ,first. Although he will again be up against Brownell, star Illinois vault- er who two weeks ago smashed all American records with a leap of 13 feet 2 inches, Brooker has a good chance of defeating the Sucker vault- er. Brooker, who is one of the most consistent of vaulters, was but a trifle behind the Orange and Blue athlete here, and if Brownell, who previously had only cleared the bar at 12 feet 10 inches, goes back to that mark, Brooker will undoubtedly take off first honors.

In the high jump MacEllven and Smith stand to run prettily, with Nu- fer having a good chance to place. If Smith and MacEllven are in good form it is doubtful whether the meet will bring up any athletes who can go. over the bar at a greater altitude. The preliminaries will call a large number of Michigan men into the field and with them qualifying, the Maize and Blue stands in a good po- sition to take a number of firsts at the meet. was a Forty-one University of Michigan and st women announced their engagements Theo in the Michigan Union ballroom this master morning at the annual senior wo- Gibson men's breakfast by eating a slice of the cla lemon and, if expected to be married were a within the year, by running around a ties of chair. ed in The women who announced their Coinmi engagements are Helen Crane, Ruth tionsc Southerton, Lucy Huber, iargaret ing wh Simmons, Mildred Harrington, Hazel were c Vanetta, Laura Mills, *Helen Currie, eech Elsie Fern Patton, Myrtle McIntosh, with t Alva Gordon, Dorothy Bartz, Beatrice Hoek, Katherine Swayze, Mary L.
