ANNUAL PHYSICAL
EXAMS ADVOCATED
That students be required to take
a physical examination atrthe begin-
ning of each school year, and that
a new member be added to the staff
of the University health service to take
charge of a systematic inspection of
the boarding and rooming houses
about the campus, is the substance of
a petition to the Board of Regents by
Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of
the service,
Dr. Forsythe also suggests that stu-
dents be required to attend a series
of health lectures during the semes-
ter. The examinations will make it
possible to treat all students in need'
of attention who would probably not
otherwise report at the health service,
and check any disease which might
spread in the University.
The Board of Regents will probably
take action upon these matters at,
their meeting tomorrow.
"LET'S GO" TRY-OUTS REVEAL
SCARCITY OF FEMININE MEN
Voice and dancing tests for the cast
and dancing trials for the chorus fea-
tured the "Let's Go" try-outs held
last night at the Union. A large num-
ber of men were present, and a few
good voices were found. There is,
however, a dearth of men suited to
take female roles in the cast.
"I am very well pleased with the
talent presented so far," stated Alan
V. Livingston, '18E, general chairman
of the opera, "and the prospects are
very gratifying. The chorus try-
outs handled themselves well in the
dancing tests. In regard to attend-
ance at rehearsals, I wish to state
that absences will count heavily
against the offending parties."
The names of the men surviving
the try-outs and rehearsals will be
published in Friday's Daily.
Homoeeopathic Receipts. on Increase

hospital for the year 1917 are over
18 per cent greater than they were
"The time has come, indeed thej
time has gone by, when every individ-
ual in the country should be drafted
into the service so we can win the
war," stated Pres. William T. Foster
of Reed College, Portland, Ore., in a
lecture on "France at War," at 4:15
o'clock yesterday afternoon in Hill
auditorium.
Two regiments of the R. O. T. C.
corps, the headquarters company,
members of the Board of Regents, the
faculty, and hundreds of Ann Arbor
residents were' present. President
Harry B. Hutchins introduced the
speaker.
Refutes Attacks on Red Cross
"Many people believe that enormous
sums of money are squandered in high
salaries of the Red. Cross officials,"'
stated President Foster. "On looking
over the books in France I found that
the average salary was $290 a year.
I also discovered that the people of
America are not sending enough sur-
gical dressings." President Foster
cited many cases of doctors working
behind the lines without sufficient sur-

DORM ENTERTAINS
LONELY NEIGHBORS
Folowing action recently taken by
the board of representatives of the
Women's league, Newberry residence
will entertain tomorrow night those
University women in its neighborhood
who live at home or in small groups.
The board, at the suggestion of Dean
Myra B. Jordan, decided to present to
women living in dormitories and other
of the larger groups, the idea of giv-
ing informal affairs for those whose
social life is limited by lack of oppor-
tunity to meet others on the campus.
It was felt-that efforts to give these
women a larger part in campus life
would do much toward promoting and
maintaining a spirit of unity among
women of the University.
MICHIGAN WOMEN MAY SOON
SERVE AS NAVY DRAUGHTSMEN
Michigan women may soon design
ships for the United States navy, and
be eligible for employment as ship
draughtsmen in the navy yard service,
and as mechanical, marine, engine,
and boiler draughtsmen in the navy
department.
This' form of government service
becomes open to them when they are
registered for war service by the
Women's defense committee from
March 18 to 25. Examinations for
these positions will be- given by the
United States Civil Service commis-
VARSITY DEBATING TEAM

baters who take the negative side of
the question to be argued in the an-
nual Central League debate, leave for

cago tomorrow night. .

resentatives. Last year he was a
member of the championship Adelphi

sas, is the only man with previous

perience he has the honor of being
the state peace orator of the Kansas
State Normal university, where he
took his first two years of literary
work.
NAV AL MILITIAMEN
MEET IN REUNION
The first annual meeting of the first
military organization to be sent from
the campus was held at Waukegan,
Ill., last Thursday night, thirteen men
from the original two units sent last
spring getting together in a banquet
followed by a theater party and in-
formal meeting. . The remaining men
of the units are scattered to variot
points in the service, some continental
and some afloat.
The singing of Michigan songs was
a part of the program. Resolutions
were passed and letters sent to the
University authorities and the men
at the naval rifle ranges at Wakefield,
Mass., Norfolk, Va., Virginia Beach,
Va., Annapolis, Md., and Camp Logan,
Ill.
Another reunion has been arranged
for the night of Feb. 24, at the LaSalle
hotel in Chicago. Attempts are being
made to have representatives from the
faculty and student body attend.
EMMA GOLDMAN TO LECTURE
AT ANN ARBOR AS SCHEDULED
Emma Goldman will come to Ann
Arbor for the two lectures on Satur-
day as scheduled. According to a let-
ter received here today from Detroit,
where she is giving a.series of talks,
she has 30 days of grace after the
court sentence before being commit-
ted to jail. She declares that news-
paper reports of her immediate in-
carceration are without foundation.
iand To Enroll
In R. O.T. C.
Michigan's famous band will enroll
in the headquarters company of the R.
O. T. C. corps today, according to a
vote taken by the members last night.
Regulation R. O. T. C. uniforms will
be furnished to the band, and a ma-
jority of the musicians will be meas-
ured this afternoon. No definite word
was given out last night as to the
probability of transforming the Var-
sity band into a military organiza-
tion. At the present time the men
will play for both organizations. In
case there are any vacancies in the
ranks additional men will be drawn
from the two military companies.
More than 25 buglers are now en-
rolled in the headquarters company,
although the men now drill with the
regiments. Efforts are being made to
increase the number to 32.
GEORGE WASHINGTON PARTY
AND CREASE DANCE COMBINED
The Crease Dance, annual senior
law affair, will be given this year on
Friday night, February 22, at the Un-
ion. The dance will be a combination
of the customary George Washington
party and Senior Crease.
The affair may be open to the cam-
pus in general owing to the small
number of law students in school. The
committee is seriously considering
other changes in order to reduce ex-
penses.
ORCHESTRA GIVES
POETIC RENDITIONS
Applause, enthusiastic and unre-
strained, greeted Walter Damrosch
and his New York Symphony orches-
tra of, 90 pieces, from the opening
.strains of the official version of "The
"Star Spangled Banner" -to the final
burst of silver sound in the "Rouman-
ian Rhaposdy" by Ensco, the last
number on the program.
The rendering of the program was
systematic and well balanced, all of
the numbers appearing being the work
of living composers, except the first,
the overture from "Oberon" by Weber.
Mr. Damrosch's personality as a con-
ductor is imposing, the orchestra of
90 men following his baton with every
note perfectly formed, as it swings
from a flowing line in the more poetic
passages to a sharply decisive beat
which brings out the climax of the
numbers with perfection.
The peculiar buzzing humming note
of the "Song of the Mosquito" by Lia-
dow, with the drone carried by the
bass viols, suggestive of a drowsy in-
sect, took the audience by storm, and
resulted in such applause that Mr.
Damrosch encored the number. An-
other number especially fantastic was
the Chinese music in the "Lasideron-
nette, Empress of the Statuettes," by
Ravel. The mystery of the Orient was
apparent here, and the fine use of
tomtoms and the veiled song of the
violins added a tone picture of the
land of temples and squat Chinese
idols. The closing number, executed
with a brilliance and dash expressive
of the Roumanian people in their
dances, was dramatic in the extreme.
The final movement, played after a
sharp full stop of the orchestra, add-
ed magnificent force to the program.
Mr. Damrosch, when interviewed af-
ter the concert, expressed his appre-
ciation of the acoustic qualities of
Hill auditorium, "It is the noblest
and grandest place I have ever played
in during my musical career." "The
audience was so appreciative and sym-
pathetic that it added greatly to the
pleasure of my work," stated Mr.
Damrosch.
The orchestra is making a 10 day
tour, going from Ann Arbor to Dayton,
Ohio, The service flag hung over the
