I100 PLAN TO TAKE
PUT-IN-BAY TRIP
More than 100 persons have signified
their intention of making the trip to
Put-in-Bay tomorrow under the diiec-'
Lion of the geology department, ac-
cording to Mr. F. W. Frostic, who will
conduct the excursion.
The party will leave Ann Arbor at
6:37 o'clock, AnnArbor time, and will
connect at Detroit for the steamer
Put-in-Bay, on which the journey will
be made to the island. While'-there
will be a geological study of some of
the earth's features, an attempt will
be made to make the trip interesting
from a popular viewpoint, -and in so
doing the historical, industrial, and
geographical side of the trip will alsa

be emphtsized.
The Put-in-Bay trip is made each
,1 year during the Summer session, so
n the success of such a trip is practically
,e assured, basing calculations in former
,n journeys. The ride will take the form
of an excursion for some, who will
merely take the trip for the pleasure.
Plans have been formulated to make
the trip interesting for these persons
r also.

n Loses Nothing by Comparison with
Literature When Facts Are Pre-
sented Accurately, He Says
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO IN.
WAY OF HANDLING SUBJECT
d Journalism loses nothing by com-'
parison with literature when equal to
its task of presenting facts accurately
and fearlessly, declared Prof. J, L.
Brumnm, of the.Rhetoric department,
in his address on "Newspaper Eng-
s lish," given in the Natural Science
auditorium Tuesday afternoon. The
real question involved in a study of
newspaper English is whether it per-
forms the business of reporting what
is important for us to know, he said.
Journalism Reports
The difference between journalism
r and literature is the way in. which
each handles a subject, the speaker
stated.- Journalism reports a fact,
- while literature recreates it and is
c concerned with the incident as it ex-
e presses some universal truth. Jour-
- nalism is impersonal; literature, born
;. of the creative impulse, is an expres-
s zion of personality.-
. Journalism gives us information and
- literature gives insight. Literature is

tures, human interest stories, and edi-
torials sometimes rise to the plane of

OF ACTIITIESIS.
PLANN EDBY UNION
THREE OFFICERS NOW FORIU-
LATING WORK FOR
FALL
RECEPTION COMMITTEE
TO HAVE MORE DUTIES
Two Departments Under Recording
Secretary Are to be Created,
Say Officials
A great extension of Union activities
is being planned for next fall, and the
three officers of the Union, Homer
Heath, general manager; George Hur-
ley, general sec'retary, and Paul Eaton,
'21, president, are at work formulating
the plans.
The fall reception committee, the
,function of. which is to care for the
incoming students in the fall, will be
made one of the largest committees of
the Union. Under its direction will
come the canvassing, of the entire city
for rooms and a classification of them.
Students will be assigned rooms by
this committee.
Will Register Members
The reatiso rcommittee will also
compile a registration list, which will
be kept up to within a few hoirs of
the latest enrollment, and a sub-com-
mittee will tend to the registering of
all men as Union members. Another
part of its work will be to see that
proper publicity is obtained.
A reorganization of the entertain-d
ment committee will.be effected, and
its new duties will consist in conduct-
ming all meetings, receptions, and en-
tertainments, skits, and shows in the
Unicn. Under this committee, i( is ex-
pectea that the Union will assist the
various classes and departments in
giving their customary smokers.
The reorganization is expected to
enable a definite program to be main-
tained and to permit an extension and
unity, which the old system did not do.
Open Up Card List
Union officials are also planning toi
open up the registration cards to all
the campus actiities, which can,look
through them for possible material.
Two departments under the recor
ing secretary will be created, the
Union officials report. One will care
for the registration blanks and. the
other will record the work done by
the different members of the commit-
tee.
Through this reorganization and ex-
tension of activities, Union officials
hope to bring the benefits of the UnionA
to more students and to democratizej
the activities, which lately have fallent
on a smaller number of men,
DRAMATIST TO GVE
READING TONIGHT
Percy MacKaye, the celebrated
dramatist, will give a reading, "George
Washington," at 8 o'clock this evening
in the Natural Science auditorium. He
is probably the most prominent man
who will be here on the program this
summer. Although he has become es-
pecially famous as a writer, MacKaye
is said to be an excellent speaker.
At 5 o'clock this afternoon Prof. J.
R. Hayden of the political science de-
partment lectures on "The Problem of
the National Budget." Professor Hay-
den,,devoting a large part of his time
to study of the national government,
is well qualified to speak on this sub-~
ject.
Tomorrow afternoon at the same
hour Prof. L. C. Karpinski of the
1 mathematics department is scheduled
for a lecture of educational interest.
His subject will be, "Teachers' Sal-
aries and the Cost of Living."
Mr. R. K. Immel of the oratory de-
partinent on Friday evening will read
Shaw's "The Devil's Disciple" in the
Sarah Caswell Angell hall. No educa-
tional motion pictures will be shown
this week.

Man Not Made What He is by Su
roundings, Declares Zoology
.Man in Lecture
PRODUCES DATA TO PROVE
TRUTH OF HIS STATEMENT
Proclaiming the falseness of the idea
that man is what his environment
makes him, and producing certain
proofs substantiating his attitude,
Prof. A. Franklin Shull, of the zoology
department, treated on the subjects of
heredity and environment, in the Nat-
ural Science auditorium Wednesday
afternoon.
That many foolish assumptions have
been built up on mere coincidences to
further theories on the effect of en-
vironment, and that such ideas have
largely been fostered among socialists
and -sociologists, were the opinions of
the speaker, who maintained als6 that
scarcely ever are two people very sim-
ilar in trait and character; that even,
twins are rarely alike in their desires.
and abilities.
'Produces Data
As proof of his contention, Professor
Shull produced data gathered from
studies of "identical twins." The
technical difference between normal
twins and identical twins, as explained
at the lecture, is that the latter spring
from the same life germ, while the
former come from double seeds. I
Examples of identical twins wereI
cited and pictures of them cast upon
the screen. It was explained that they
were not only similar in features but
invariably of the same sex and had
the same desires, tastes, and disposi-
tions, and often the same height,
weight, voices, complexion, color of;
hair and eyes.
Environment Would Show
Somet of these had lived together.
some apart, yet different environments
in the latter case had not riven their
characteristics. The speaker said that
environmjent, if it be the weighty in-
fluence which some claim, would show
in these cases.
The effects of environment are tem-
porary, according to Professor Shull,
and only in exceptional cases, where it
directly affects the germ plasms, can
it be lasting and passed down to ay
following generation. He added that
such cases were infrequent and mostly
limited to alcoholism and in a lesser
degree temperature.

The doctor of the future will have
to devote himself to preventing dis-
ease and to the application of reme-
dial measures against it, Dr. Hugh
Beeb , of the homoeopathic medical
school faculty, said Tuesday evening in
speaking on "Our Medical Future."
"If an individual dies before his ex-
ypectancy, in the majority of instances
he has either been killed or has com-
mitted suicide. This is not true in
the legal sense, but in our present
knowledge as to the origin and cause
of disease, we know that in most in-
stances the conditions that brought
about the death were preventable.
Negligence Responsible
"Personal negligence and commun-
ity negligence in regard to sanitary
affairs is largely responsible. -The
problem of the medical educator is to
train the young man not only in the
measures used to attack the disease
and the origin and causes of that dis-
ease, but to give him the vision of the
possibilities of preventive medicine.
Unpleasant Results
Certain unpleasant consequences
have presented themselves; for in-
stance, the increasing obstacles- to en-
tering medicine have increased the
number of non-medical cults and the
production of untrained men who prey
upon the public. The greatest danger
of the cult practitioner is not that he
claims to make impossible cures, but
that he does not know that he cannot
make them.

It can be expected that the enr

which it has been progressing in
last five years.
This progress must be made in
number and quality of courses offe
in the educational and other dept

to do graduate work, to work for
grees, or to take special work.

It is along this line that the de

chance of increase in another bra
