wood and composition sheeting, with
a large skylight in the center. No
windows will be installed until fall,
the openings to be covered until then
by wire screens. Heating and light-
ing appliances will also be put in at
that time.
Smaller Building
Alongside and to the east of this
building will be another one, of small-
er dimensions, 60 by 16 feet, with toil-
et facilities for 375 men and washing
accomodations for 100 at a time.
The main building will be used
wholly for instructing the mechanics
in chassis work. The remaining cour-
ses in their curriculum will be taught
in other buildings on the campus.
Courses of Instruction
Besides the 500 army mechanics,
there will be another 200 men who
are to replace the 199 members of the
University of Michigan training de-
tachment. One hundred of this num-
ber will receive instruction as gener-
al mechanics, or "handy men." They
will pursue courses in pipe fitting,
and forge and lathe work. Another 60
will train as gunsmiths, and the re-
maining 40 will fit themselves as car-
penters.
The courses for all except the gen-
eral mechanics are specified by the
government, and the University fol-
lows instructions.
Need for Old Cars
Prof. Henry H. Higbie, of the engi-
neering college, stated yesterday that
there is a great need for old, worn-
out automobiles which the auto me-
chanics might use for experimental
purposes.
"Anyone who has an old car which
will not run can do a great-service to
the University by donating the ma-
,chine for use by the mechanics," de-
'clared Professor Higbie. "We can
use cars that will not run and which
are valuable only as junk."
Administrative System
Professor Higbie also explained the
system of administration which will
be employed this summer in the in-
struction of the government men.
There will be four administrative offi-
cers and thirty-five instructors. About
15 of the latter have already been se-
cured, and 20 more shop experts will
be engaged.
The administrative board is made
up of the following faculty men:
Prof. Henry H. Higbie, educational
director; Prof. Benjamin F. Bailey, in
charge of ignition, starting, and light-
ing work; Prof. William L. Miggett,
supervisor of shop work; and Mr.,
Walter E. Lay, director of chassis,
engine, carburetor, and testing work.

PEACE CONTEST IS
TO BE SUPPLANTED
An extemporaneous public speaking
"Liberty" contest will be held by the
Oratorical association of the Univer-
sity Tuesday May 28, instead of the
annual Michigan peace contest. The
state peace contest has. been discontin-
ued for the duration of the war, by the
common consent of the 10 state uni-
versities that participate in it. The
national peace contest has likewise
been discontinued for the period of
the war.
Five to seven speakers, selected by
previous try-outs, will take part is
the "Liberty" contest. They will de-
liver extemporaneous speeches, eight
minutes in length, on the general sub-
ject of "Liberty'.' The exact subjects
on which the speakers will talk will
be given them one hour before they
mount the platform. They will all
deal with practical phases of the
word "Liberty," and any person with
a fair understanding of the doings of
tle day will be easily able to handle
his subject, the oratory department
announces.
The "Liberty" contest is an experi-
ment in extemporaneous public
speaking, and Michigan is said to be
the first university in the country to
attempt an event of this kind. Two
other universities are following Mich-
dgan's lead and will hold contests of a
similar nature.
Participation in the contest is open
to any student at the University.
Those desiring to take part are asked
to inform Mr. Ray K. Immel, of the
oratory department, who is the contest
director, before Saturday, May 18
Freshmen desiring to enter the contest
twill have to secure special permission
from Prof. W. Ray Humphreys, of the
committee on eligibility.
Additional details about the con-
test will be furnished to those trying
out for it, at a special meeting to be
held at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon
in room 302, Mason hall.
