Night," with an array of decorated ca-
noes and a program of aquatic sports.

held this spring, and the natural am-
phitheater about a quarter of a mile
above the boat house prved to be a
most advantageous site.

plated event are music, booths for re-
freshments and a "parade" of decorat-
ed canoes.

Says Nearly All Inhabitants eHave Eye-
Trouble; llildings Well
Preserved
"Ninety per cent of the people of
Egypt are said to have some kind of
eye disease," said Prof. W. H. Worrell,
of Hartford, Conn., in his lecture on
"A Trip Through Egypt" which hee
gave last night in the west physics
amphitheater. "Cross eyes are very
common, occurring in about 15 or 20
per cent of the people. They are con-
sidered a mark of beauty in the owom-
en," te added in describing the condi-
tions of the population of Egypt.
Professor Worrell illustrated his
lecture with many slides, showing the
ancient monasteries, cliff dwellers,
pyramids, and other buildings which
were erected between 300 It. C. and
60 A.D. Most of these structures
show a remarkable preservation ine
spite of their age which is due to the
even, rdy climate of the country. One
of the most striking things of the
Egyptian houses, that Professor Wor-
rell found was the absence of roofs.
He said that these were not necessary
in most parts of the country. because
rains do not occur oftener than once'
a year, and in some places, once ine
10 years.
He also found that sanitation is not
very far advanced in the Egyptian cit-
ies as an illustration. Concerning it, he
said, "There is nothing here that
agrees with our modern idea o hygi-
ene. louses are built on the ruins of
others and the litter is thrown out of
the windows into the street."

mum expense for the trip, including
fare, berths, hotel and extra meals will

museum, first floor.

Eleven 3en to Practice on Ferry Field
ic Preparation Fo Fall's
Schedule
With the hardest schedule in thee
history of the school rapidly approach-
ing. the candidates for next fall's var-
sity football team, who are attending
summer session, have organized them-
selves, and plan to make a daily chase
with the pigskin part of their pro-
gram until the end of August.
The roll when counted numbers 11
men and lists the following names:
Bughitt, Barton, Lyons, McHale,
Meade, Millard, Galt, Achi, Huebel,
Nieman and Staatz. Of these men,
FHughitt, Harton, Lyons, McHale and
Galt already boast a varsity "M," and
need no introduction. Meade is the
lanky fullback who was recruited
from the 1016 all-fresh team, and who
showed all sorts of fighting spirit
when Yost saw fit to use him last fall.
Millard has a record of two years' ser-
vice on the reserves,' and should he
gain a little in speed, will make a
strong bid for a linesman's berth.
The Hawaiian islands claim Achi
as an "M" aspirant. He weighs 180
and has had football experience at oth-
er schools. Playiecg center is his
strong toint and, with the vacancy
there, probably the biggest conun-
drum of the lot, he will be given a
good chance to show his worth. Staatz
played at end on the reserves last
fall, and made a name for himself as
one of the fastest men on the field.
Nieman and el elo are two Menomi-
nee lads who oreceised their all-fresh
cir"erets at the'close 'f last season.
Niesnmece eas eleted 'withe Maulbetch
use ofi e the two mot valuable men
on fleeall-freshsuad.
In addition to these, several can-
didates, who are not attending sum-
ner session, are making Ann Arbor
their training grounds for the sum-
mer. "Maulie" Maulbetsch, last year's
All-fresh captain, and the man to
whom the rooters are looking forward
to for great things next fall, is en-
gaged in the construction work on
the Newberry Residence hall. Watson,
Hildiner, and Menefee, all of whom
are promising material, are hardening
their muscles doing labor on the new
concrete stadium.

RAIN PREVENTS PRACTICE
OF DEPARTMENTAL TEAMS
Showers Make it Impossible for 'ana-
gars to Collect Fees for Par-
chase of Supplies
Heavy showers interfered with prac-
tice for the teams in the interdepart-
mental baseball league yesterday af-
ternoon, making it impossible for the
managers to collect the 25 cent assess-
ment which was to be levied on the
tryouts for purchasing balls and other
paraphernalia. This will be done at
this afternoon's practice so that balls
may be procured in time for the first
game which will be played tomorrow
at 4:30 o'clock between the laws and
engineers.
The managers of both these teams
request that all who have tried out
for either team or have had any inten-
tion of doing so, report at south Ferry
field at 4:00 o'clock, and an effort will
be made to give everyone a chance to
show his ability. The game will last
seven innings.
Many of the players have already
availed themselves of the lockers in
the intramural clubhouse, and any
others who desire to do so are request-
ed to help themselves. The shower
baths in the clubhouse have been plac-
ed in condition for use.

-spearean comedies.

SAYS O1'TLOOK IS OPTIMISTIC
Dr. Cummings Thinks Venereal Dis-
ease Situation i Exaggerated
In his lecture 1'ast week umi 11cc Cci-
versity Health Service, Dr. . H. Cum-
mings laid stress on the success which
had been met with in the checking
and treatment of venereal diseases
among the students, contrary to the
general opinion about the state.
He stated that as far as had been as-
certained, not more than 60 active
cases had occurred this year among
the students, and that such a record is
especially commendable for any place
containing 5,000 students. He said
this change was due to the instruction
by wise parents, and unselfish teach-
ers, and also to the enforcement of the
law, prohibiting the sale of liquor to
students.
"Next year," he said, "our aim will
be to prevent disease. It will take
time and effort to teach personal hy-
giene to prevent disease. It will take
time and effort to teach personal hygi-
ene to every student; to instill into
every mind thoughtfulness for the
other fellow; to show that clean liv-
ing and efficiency go hand in hand;
and to, make our slogan "Every Mich-
igan student sound; sound mentally,
morally and physically."
BEGIN NEW TILE SYSTEM
TO CARRY LIGHTING WIRES
To make the campus lighting sys-
tem more efficient, a new tile system
is being installed, by which the wires
will be strung through four-inch tiles
a short distance below the surface.
This method will replace the former
device of running the wires through
the heating tunnels. The system will
extend only to the law building this
year, but in a few years will be en-
larged to include all of the lighting
wires on the campus.
The work is being caried on in a
direct line from the sub-station near
Waterman gymnasium to the law
building. Man holes are being dug
along this course, for joining the ca-
bles, when work in extending the sys-
tem to other buildings is begun.
The present portion of the work
will be completed in about four weeks.
