"Well, c'n you beat that?" exclaimed
the "frosh" as he stopped in front of
a State street store yesterday morn-
ing. "Here's a guy gettin' his straw
hats in already. Some speedy bird,
I'll say."
Perhaps someone has inside infor-
mation that spring is coming early
this year, or maybe the student coun-
cil has placed Straw Hat Day next,
month.
"I guess that's bad," said the awe-
struck green one as he passed on
down the street to "Tuts."

Plans for the annual Vocational
Conference for women to be held in
Sarah Caswell Angell hall, Nov. 23 to
Nov. 25, are completed under the guid-
ance of Elsie Paul, '17, chairman.
The following committees have been
appointed by the chairman: faculty
committee, Dean Myra B. Jordan, Mrs.
William D. Henderson, and Dr. Elsie
Pratt; finance committee, Paulene
Champlin, '18; publicity, Valora Quin-
lan, '18; entertainment, Marcia Pinker-
ton, '19; luncheon, Amy Nelsokt, '17;
invitation, Jeannette Armstrong, '17,
and Margaret Henderson, '13.
The appointees are to choose their
own committees to assist them, and
the work will be done by these indi-
vidual small committees rather than,
by one large group to avoid confusion.
Plans for housing the delegates and
speakers have not been entirely com-
pleted, but the committee plans to call
upon the Martha Cook Building, New-
berry Residence, sorority houses and
a few resident homes for accommoda-
tions for the visiting delegates and
speakers.
NECESSITIES, RISE
RPIDplLY OF LATE;
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN WORK
With the beginning of this semester,
the department of landscape design
occupied its new quarters, on the en-
tire f'--+1.. A - f +knLU f iiUL xxrinro

The ur precedented rise in the cost
of necessities during the last few
years has attracted the attention of
most thinking people of our country
and has been the cause of 'ouch whole-
some investigation in car economic
affairs. In the United States alone
this increase has been about 30 per
cent while the large foreign nations
have leen affected to a grrater degree
than here. In this cour.try the short
cropof wheat is causln-; the greatest
concern, the dcmestl( ned over our
present crop ol 600,V),000 bushels be-
ing 625,000,000 bushels. And at the rate
at wl-ich wheat is be:ng e-)orted even
:ast y ear's surplus wih1 not fill this
:need. The result has been a rise in
tire fourth floor or the south wing or
University hall. Since the recent im-
provements in the reconstruction of
'the building, the landscape depart-
ment now possesses the best accom-
modations of the kind to be found in
any state university in the country.
Besides the general offices, the new
offices now include private offices, two
class rooms, a lecture room, a lantern
room, and a reference library. In the
library are to be found a large number
of volumes in several languages, deal-
ing with all phases of landscape de-
sign, from the building of roads for
large estates to the planning of small
flower gardens for lesser ones. All
past plans are kept on file in the
library, as well as the most prominent
designs, made by the leading draughts-
men for the last several years. Cur-
rent magazines on gardening and
landscape work are regularly received,
and a full list of catalogues of nurs-
ery and building materials for walls,
roads, lawns, gardens, and garden
furniture are kept in the reference
room. A large blue print machine of
the latest type, completes the equip-
ment of the draughting room, while
there are kept more than 3200 lantern
slides in the slide room of the general
lecture hall.
Although the landscape design de-
partment is the youngest on the cam-
pus, having been established in 1909,
when Prof. Aubrey Tealdi took the
chair, it has made remarkable pro-
gress since its beginning. More than
100 students are counted among those,
now studying in the department, an
increase of about 30 per cent having
occurred within the last year. Of
these the majority of the advanced stu-
dents have come from other states and
colleges to pursue specialized studies
along gardening lines, and while there
are 13 courses offered during the reg-
ular session, fully as many are en-
rolled in the two courses, given dur-
ing summer school. This semester a
new course in flower garden design-
ing has been added to the general cur-
riculum, while for the next semester,
it is planned to offer another course
in plant materials.
Much of the added interest in the
work of landscape designing is at-
tributed to the fact that, as there is
much more of that kind of work being
done in recent years, there are greater
opportunities in such a line of en-
deavor than ever before. In this con-
sideration, Ann Arbor is not without
its share of construction. During the
last year, there have been several
large contracts awarded, and even
now, there are about a dozen big jobs
From the tentative form in which
it appeared three years ago, the point
system of the Women's League has
now evolved into a practical and effl-
cient means of guiding the individual
college activities of the women on
the campus. To Harriet Williams
Waite, '14L, and a few associates be-
long the credit of the introduction of
the system. Briefly stated, it limits
the number of activities in which a
woman may take part at one time.
To these ends each recognized ac-
tivity is given a certain value in
points and no student is allowed to
assume more than ten points at any
one time or a total of twelve points
in one semester.
The president of the Women's
League receives 7 points, the presi-
dent of Y. W. C. A. 6, the women's
editor of The Daily, the vice-president
of the league and the chairmen of
various committees, 5 points !each.
Other activities receive a varying
number of points, depending upon the
time and effort which they require.
From time to time the number of
points has been changed, as experi-
ence has taught that the positions
were under or over rated.
The administration ofthe system
is in, the hands of a committee of
which Marian Williams, '18, is chair-
man, composed of members of the
league, and a member of the univer-
sity senate, that member being Prof.
Charles B. Vibbert.
State Health Board Field Agent Here
Miss Elizabeth Parker, of Lansing,
field agent for the organization of
work under the state board of health
was in Ann Arbor last Monday. Her
purpose in this city was to confer with
Miss Carol Walton, state secretary of
the anti-tuberculosis association, re-
garding the forming of plans for the
work of the association for the com-
ing year. Tuesday, she left for Ben-
ton Harbor where she expects to or-
ganize a society to carry on the work
of the association in Berrien county.

Shorter hours, demands for recogni-

reasons. However, the present de-
crease in the number of strikes seems
to indicate that adjustment to the
present scale of coAt of liring has

costing more than $10,000. The Uni-
versity of Chicago has no department
of this kind, and in Lake Forest, where
many of the largest and wealthiest
estates of America are located, land-
scape design is studied only in the
summer, when society girls along the
shore secure the services of a faculty
man from one of the eastern schools
to give them a few pointers in plan-
ning gardens.
