New York City May Buy and Sell Food New York, Feb. 23.-City corpora- tion counsel for New York City was instructed this afternoon by the city board of estimates to draw up an amendment to the city charter which will give the city power to buy and distribute food. The action was in reply to a request by impoverished residents of New York's east side where many persons are said to be undergoing starvation because of the high prices of food. The amendment it is understood, will be forwarded to Albany at once with the request that it be passed immediately. For results advertise in the Mich- gan Daily. REGENTS'YOTE TO FOUND NEW MESCHOOL (Continued from Page One.) says that the action is practically a incentive for the fifth year or hospital year, which many states require. Dr. Vaughan has long been one of the staunchest advocates of such a sys- tem, and is greatly pleased over its success. Besides the failure of the board of regents to take some action on the conference, which was more con- spicious by its omission, than had a decision been made, other business of importance was transacted at yester- day's meeting. President Harry B. Hutchins, re- ported that the representative of the war department who is to be sent to Ann Arbor to determine whether con- ditions have been fulfilled for the as- signment of an army officer to fill the chair of professor of military science, will- also be the commanding officer of the course at the Michigan Agricul- tural college. In event of a favorable report, courses in military training, tactics and strategy will be installed i the regular curricullum of the Uni- versity. To Publish Circular With the submission of a draft of a circular which the president read the board authorized the publication and presentation of the needs of the Uni- versity in such a booklet. This circu- lar to be presented to the state legis- lature during its present session. Several resignations and leaves of absence were granted, among them be- ing the resignations of Prof. O. L. Sponsler, of the forestry department, and Mr. R. R. Lounsbury of the eco- nomics department. Mr. L. L. Click was appointed in- structor in English to succeed A. A. Bennett, now an assistant professor of English in the University of Texas. The leave of absence of Dr. Paul W. Merrill was extended for a year in or- der that he may continue, for a time, his work with the bureau of stands at Washington, D. C. Mr. Raymond W. Barnard of Ann Arbor, now assistant in physics, was appointed as an in- structor in mathematics to succeed Mr. Tomlinson Fort, who resigned some time ago. Miss Grace Millard was re-elected to succeed herself as one of the board of governors of the Martha Cook resi- dence hall for women. Miss Eunice Wead was appointed assistant curator of rare books in the Library. SENTIMENT FAVBS i0ACK TO CONFERENCE' SLOGAN (Continued from Page One.) E. R. Hurst, '13, secretary the New England Alumni association-"I was greatly pleased to read in morning papers that athletic board had voted to return to conference. I sincerely hope the board of regents will approve this action. Surely Michigan's natural competitors are in the conference." G. M. Wells, '15, secretary the Cleve- land Alumni association-"Time is too short to take complete vote on confer- ence question. All officers of Michi- gan club of Cleveland and members of the board of governors favor return. My personal opinion is that about 90 per cent of our members want to go back." C. H. Lang, '1, secretary Minne- apolis Alumni association - "Good news to many Minneapolis alumni. Rest of us hope Michigan won't re- 'gret." E. E. A. Stone, '12, secretary New York alumni association-"Impossible to obtain expression of opinion from alumni here on one day's notice. Straw vote at Michigan luncheon today showed 12 favorable and seven op- posed. Several prominent members believe vote of entire membership would probably show same propor- tion."

It takes rivalry to make a real football game, and there is lit- tle or no rivalry between Michigan and her eastern competitors. Michi- gan's football games of late years have become little more than social functions." C. C. Smith, '18, captain 1917 Varsity football team-"I am vtry strongly in xavor. It is the only step to take if we are to get Michigan on a sound athletic basis." C. L. Cook,'17, ex-president the Stu- dent council-"I'm mighty strong for it. It is the biggest thing that has happened in Michigan athletics in a long time. Being champions of the West will give us greater recognition in the East than our present relations with the seaboard teams can ever bring us." 1I. E. O'Brien, '17, Varsity track ath- lete-"I think it is a good thing." E. C. Schacht, '1BE, associate editor the Michiganensian-"Now we will have something to fight for, aside from the championship of the state of Mich- igan." ANNUAL COTILLION LED BY FILIY FORMS OF FAIRY CO-EDS The annual cotillion, given by the department of physical education, held last evening in Barbour gymnasium, was attended by about three hundred University women. The figures were led by Miss Alice Evans, director of the physical education department, and Miss Marion Wood and Miss Mar- ion Dawley, assistant instructors. White dresses, decorated with red, white, and blue ribbons, worn by the guests added greatly to the pictures- queness of the dances. The grand march was led by Miss Evans and Miss Wood. Following this was a fa- vor dnce in which the dancers formed an elaborat figure with red and blue ribbons. The fir-t figure was a minuet given by eight college women. Another at- tractive figure was a skater's dance given by eight college girls. The favors given were in keeping with George Washington's birthday. Iluran Valley ldgk & Sa. A eMoc. 14. 11.
