Year Schedule
GOVERNMENT WILL BUY SUITS
Students who enroll in the Reserve
Officers' Training Corps, which will
be established in the University next
fall, are expected to sign up for the
two-year schedule. The courses will
be in charge of Captain George C.
Mullen, a professor of miltary tactics
and science. Graduates will receive
a commission as officers if they decide
to enter active service, at the comple-
tion of the course.
Captain Mullen is now busily en-
gaged in formulating plans and ar-
ranging a schedule of studies for the
new courses. The schedule will be
published as soon as they are definite-
ly ascertained.
The senior division curriculum con-
tains a detailed account of the military
studies offered for a period of two
years. University students who en-
roll in this department will devote
their entire time for four semesters to
military art. The military work offer-
ed for next summer is additional and
will not be essential for graduation.
Object of New Courses
The primary object of establishing
units of the Reserve Officers' Training
Corps is to qualify, by systematic and
standard methods of training, students
at civil educational institutions for re-
serve officers. The system of instruc-
tion presents to these students a stand-
ardized measure of that military train-
ing which is necessary in order to pre-
pare them to perform intelligently the
duties of commissioned officers in the
military forces of the United States.
It also enables them to be trained with
the least practicable interference with
their civil careers.
Meaning of Senior Division
Members of the senior division are
classified with units at universities and
colleges requiring four years' collegi-
ate study for a degree and all units at

WILL TAKE LAKE TRIP
Professor Scott Takes Charge of Put-
in-Bay Excursion
The excursion to the island of Put-
in-Bay under the direction of Prof. IL
D. Scott will start at 5:37 Saturday
morning, central standard time, at the
Michigan Central depot. Professor
Scott will be at the depot at that time
to arrange things. Those who wish
to go on this trip should buy a round
trip ticket to Detroit and to save time
should either get something to eat on
the boat going down or carry a lunch.
The object of the trip is to study
the action of waves and glaciers and to
see the caves at Put-in-Bay, of which
there are a number of remarkable
specimens.
Show Motion Pictures Tonight
The educational motion pictures to
be shown at 8 o'clock tonight in the
auditorium of the Natural Science
building will illustrate farm irrigation
and care of stock in Western Canada.

Women's League Tender Novel Recep-
tion to University Students This
Weed-End
Good music, dancing and good eats
are only three of the many attractions
promised at the Women's league danc-
ing party which takes place at Barbour
gymnasium from 4 to 6 o'clock this
Saturday afternoon. All University
men and women are cordially urged to
attend and co-operate to make the
party the success of the season.
An unusually attractive program is
being planned by Miss McKee and Dr.
George.A. May of the department of
physical education. The University of
Wisconsin has made such a success
with "Get-together Parties," that this
affair is to be closely modelled after]
theirs. Ways of getting acquainted by
states and colleges will be tried out
after the grand march. Everybody
come! No admission will be charged.
PLANS FOR NEW DORMITORY
BEING MADE BY COMMITTEE
Plans for the cottage dormitory on
Washtenaw avenue are being rapidly
completed by the committee chosen
from the group of alumni who are es-
tablishing the new girls' home. The
meetings of the Board have been held
to discuss the furnishings. The Pase-
dena association of alumni has asked
to furnish the dining room in some
distinctive way. The rooms on the
second floor will resemble those at
Newberry residence.
