MANY CHANGES.

ENGINEERING ALUMNI WILL OB­SERVE THEM WHEN THEY

RETURN FOR DEDICA­TION OF NEW

BUILDING.

Former students in the engineer­ing course who have not been on the campus in the past year or two and who are minded to come this year for the dedication of Engineer­ing Hall and other commencement functions, will observe many changes.

Engineering Hall, as becomes the importance of the engineering work, is the largest and most imposing building on the campus. It pro­vides 44,000 square feet of useful floor space for the engineering de­partment, exclusive of halls, lava­tories, etc., and contains the class rooms, offices, drafting rooms, and laboratories for all engineering work and for instruction work in the other courses in physics, drawing and mathematics. Of chief interest per­haps are the improved facilities for engineering laboratory work. T h e ground floor is devoted to this feat­ure, in hydraulics, cement and con­crete, strength of materials, heat engines, and dynamo electric ma­chinery. The first floor contains the principal offices of the" engineer­ing departments, the engineering museum, the field equipment in civil engineering, the lecture room and apparatus used in physics and other lecture rooms.

T h e second floor accommodates the laboratories in general physics, offices, engineering, reading room and drafting and class rooms. The third floor has the offices and draft­ing rooms of the department of drawing and design, as well as gen­eral class and drafting rooms. The fourth floor is devoted "to general class and drafting rooms, the head­quarters of Tau Beta Pi , and' blue print rooms.

The old mechanical building is now devoted exclusively to the shops, for the better accommoda­tions of which the following changes have been made.

1st. The east wing is now a single room devoted to ' foundry work. .

2d. The machine shop has been extended to occupy the drafting room and offices at the north end of the ground floor.

3d. T h e wood-working depart­ment occupies the entire second floor.

4th. The forge shop occupies the space formerly used for wood turning and experimental engineer­ing.

5th. Wash and toilet rooms have been fitted up in the old engine room.

6th. Considerable additions to the shop equipment have made

The enrollment of engineering students for the past year is 485 and the present senior class has 47 engineers.

The teaching force in engineering numbers 30. Former students will miss the presence of W . S. Holds-

worth, whose death last summer ended a life whose indelible impress was left on the college and its stu­dents during the many years of his service in the department of Draw­ing and Design. Many others of the teachers of former days will not be found in their accustomed places, having gone to other fields of work.

T h e ; Engineering Hall will be dedicated on Monday, June 22, at 2 :oo p. m. Following is the pro­gram for the occasion. T h e exer­cises:

If 4he weather permits the exer­cises will be held in the grove in front of the Armory . If not they will be held in the Armory . After the exercises Engineering Hall will be opened to visitors. Fischer's orchestra will furnish the music.

A LETTER FROM PORT ARTHUR.

Prof. Hedrick recently received a letter from Edna P . Ruper t , '05, written from Port Arthur , Man­churia. Miss Ruper t is traveling in the east with her father and mother, her father being a traveling salesman there.

Speaking of Por t Ar thur she says : " P o r t Ar thur is a most in­teresting place also the surrounding country. Coming up from Dalny we passed through the heart of the battle grounds. The hills were a perfect network of trenches, some wide and deep; some narrow and shallow. Breastworks were numer­ous also. On one hill were two cannons, left just as the Japanese captured them. Kuropatkin's fort was nothing but a huge pile of dirt. It originally was a hill, but the Japanese had tunneled under it and blown it entirely to pieces.

" T w o hundred three Metres Hill seems to be an ordinary- hill, but is the highest and commands the west­ern and eastern harbor. T h e pos­session of it meant a death blow to the enemy. However, the Japs won it with terrible loss of life and now skulls, bones, etc., can be seen lying around. There were so many men killed that they just cov­ered the entire mass with dirt and walked over them. Now the thin dirt has washed away in places and exposes them. T h e Chinese also dig around to find money." * * *

" In the harbor are sunken ves­sels just where the Russians put them to help defend tjhe entrance to the bay."

Miss Ruper t has been through most of Japan, Manchuria and Southern China and expects soon to go-to Manilla.

Prof. Ryde r will teach in the Mt. Pleasant Normal summer school.

N O T I C E .

In view of the fact that the de­bating prizes have been withdrawn and that the faculty have decided to give no credit for debating work, the English Department will here­after give no credit for preliminary and inter-collegiate debating.

Fur ther , the department with these limitations feels that it is not warranted in assuming charge of further inter-collegiate debate. It will stand ready to aid any other department or the debating society in preparation for future contests, so far as the public speaking part of the work is concerned.

A GREAT ENTERPRISE.

Club Boarding Association Does Much Business.

Few who eat regularly at the clubs ever stop to consider or have any idea of the immense amount of food stuffs used during the year or the amount of business handled by the dissociation.

The-truth is, however, that, there is bought by Mr. Groat, the pur­chasing a^ent, and used in the clubs an amount nearly equal to the busi­ness of a large city grocery. In fact the business of buying alone is suf­ficient to keep one man busy during the entire time to say nothing of the work of the stewards and book­keeper in keeping the accounts.

The following figures give some interesting data in regard to last year's business which is consider­

ab le less than that of the present year, the exact figures of which are not vet obtainable. There were bought last year bread and sweet goods to the amount of $2,200.00, meat under contract to the amount of $9,132.63. nearly 700 gallons of milk costing $4,000.00, 14,500 lbs. of flour in addition to the bread and sweet goods bought from the bak­ery, 130 bbls. crackers and 18,829 lbs. commercial cookies, ten tons of sugar and 400 lbs. baking powder. Breakfast foods are bought in five and ten case lots therebv getting the lowest fraction of discount to be had. When the local fruit crop is abundant contracts are let for thou­sands of two-quart cans of different varieties, the clubs usually canning their strawberries ' before college closes.

Beside fresh vegetables, canned vegetables to the amount of 14,500 cans are used and about 3,000 bushels of potatoes.

In the drink line there was some­thing of a falling off, but 1 1̂ tons of coffee were used, 500 lbs. cocoa and five chests of tea besides a large part of the milk mentioned above.

There were used to cook this food 85 tons of coal and a car load of wood and for washing and clean­ing utensils, etc., 100 boxes of soap and 25 cases of washing powder.

Goods are bought of wholesalers in Detroit, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Toledo, and wherever the best goods can be bought at the lowest prices, always buying at home when quality and price are the same. T h e total expenditure of the association last year was about $37,000.

The average price of board was $2.58 per week.

PLANT CATCHES MOSQUI­TOES.

ONE IN BOTANIC GARDEN IS DO­ING ITS SHARE TO EXTERMI­

NATE THE TROUBLE­SOME PESTS.

Nature seems to have taken pity on the residents of the college who have been suffering from the hoard of mosquitoes which have made life out of doors almost unbearable, and has set about to do its share toward rectifying the mistake it made in producing the human tormentors in such abundance.

The sophomore botany students, while investigating in the botanic garden a few days ago, discovered that a small perennial plant with small white flowers, somewhat re­sembling- those of the white lilac but with a shorter tube, was catch­ing mosquitoes, and not only that, but holding them until they died. The name of this benefactor of the race is the cvnanchum acuminatum, and it operates as follows :

Along the face of the flower are five little slits serving as guides to the tongues of nectar loving insects and these slits, being wider at one end than the other, catch the tongue of the insect when they attempt to pull them out and, in the case of the mosquitoes, hold them fast until they die.

Though we are very grateful to this little plant for what it does in reducing the superabundance of mosquitoes, its action in this respect is purely accidental and far from the purpose for which it was de­signed.

A great many plants have some special means of distributing their pollen in which insects bear an im-portent part. In the case of the above named plant the arrangement of the slits is designed to catch the tongues of stronger insects which are able to pull them out and at the same time turn part of the flower wrong side out, exposing the pollen and getting some of it on them­selves to be distributed to other plants. Mosquitoes and other weak insects are not strong enough to do this and so are held fast, and thus defeat the purpose of the plant.

Among the insects found caught in these flowers were several species of mosquitoes of both sexes, but mostly males, a small moth, a fly and a few small beetles.

This discovery also brings out the interesting fact the male mos­quitoes live on nectar from flowers and that females also take an occa­sional drink when they find no warm blooded victims.

It has been suggestad that Dr. Beal be given a large appropriation to be used in growing these plants and setting them about the campus.

The following stewards have been elected for the coming vear : R . S. Wheeler, A ; N . B. Hubbard, B ; G. H. Stephen, G ; E . P . Bushnell, B.

STUDENT COUNCIL.

A t the last of the regular meet­ings of the student council held on Friday last the business of the year was finished and recommendations drawn up for the use of the suc­ceeding council.

While the council has accom­plished no startling results, the w ork of the term has been a signal success. W e look forward with confidence to the time when this organization can be made an effect­ive instrument in the hands of the student body. Tha t time will come when its relation to college activity becomes more clearly defined, and its methods of work perfected.

With regard to the present regu­lations and customs w e may say that the spirit in which they have been received and carried out is highly satisfactory. Of course there have been individual infractions of these rules, but we think that the growing sentiment in their favor as they become more and more time honored will insure their success.

Among the matters taken up this term was that of the adoption of a college pin to be worn by seniors and alumni. This idea was sug­gested by the present senior class. Designs were obtained from mak­ers and suggestions received from other sources. The result seems to favor some new design, such as the college seal with the date of the founding of the college, or a bust of the founder together with date of founding, etc.

The idea of a college periodical, edited and managed by students, was also taken up. The organiza­tion of student publications of the Michigan colleges was investigated. From what was learned from this and other sources the cencensus of opinion seems to be that a monthly publication in magazine form could be made a success at this college.

The committee on campus adver­tising conferred with the council. As promiscuous advertising is un­sightly the council recommends the placing of large billboards in con­spicuous places. This is being done, and in return we recommend that all advertising by students be confined to these boards. Pride in the appearance of the grounds and buildings should be a sufficient mo­tive for carrying out this recom mendation.

T o make the observance of " s tu ­dent n igh t " more formal and im­pressive, a large banner has been made which is to be handed down with appropriate ceremony from year to year by the outgoing senior class to the keeping of their succes­sors. This ceremony will mark passing of the senior class from college activities.

T h e numerals of each class in the class colors will be placed upon this banner as they retire, and in time it will become a much prized posses­sion of the students. The banner is to be furnished by the present senior class. T h e " student night " parade will form in front of Williams Hall next Thursday night headed by the seniors. T h e procession will then march to a spot in front of the Women 's Building where the formal teansfer of the banner will take place, after which the seniors will drop out of the procession. T h e remainder of the program will then be carried out as planned by the juniors. T h e burning of the freshman and " prep " caps will be in charge of these classes. As stu­

dent night is to be a college affair, every student should give it loyal support, even to the extent of finan­cial aid, should the junior class de­cide to request the same from the student body.

LAST MEETING OF HORTI­CULTURAL CLUB.

T h e Horticultural' Club held its last meeting of the year last Wed­nesday evening. T w o very inter­esting talks were given by seniors. .

Mr. J . Boyle spoke oil The Effect of Handling and Spraying on the Keeping of Frui ts . In outlining his experiment which was begun Oct. 1, 1907, and finished May 15, Mr. Boyle says that Northern Spv apples after being in cold stor­age for seven mouths- gave the fol­lowing percentage of decayed fruit for the several treatments to which they were subjected :

DECAYED.

Standards in common boxes 13% " slat crates . ' . . . 22% " tight " - _ . . - . . . 7%

" hauled six miles on a. springless wagon _. 28%

Small unblemished fruit 8% Standards, poured into barrels from

t o p . . . "---- 26% Scabby fruit .-- 15% Wormy . , . . 2 9 %

In summing up the treatments mentioned above, which are com­monly practiced, and adding the per cents, of decayed fruit as results, it is easily seen how many farmers lose 50 or even 75 per cent, of their stored apples by careless handling.

Mr . H. M. Coliolly, the second speaker, talked on Possible Improve­ments of Our Campus. This prob­lem was the work of Mr . Conolly's thesis. Among his suggestions he proposes to build a new and modern range of green houses east of the horticultural laboratory to take the place of the present inadequate range. In improving the grounds in the vicinity of the proposed green houses Mr. Conolly suggests the planting of a large rose garden, and $ formal treatment of the immediate grounds, and making a sunken per­ennial garden of the place now occu­pied by the pond in rear of the Women's Building. It was shovvn very plainly how such improvements would add to the efficiency of the horticultural department, and to the beauty of the campus.

The following officers were elect­ed for the fall term :

Mr. W . Postiff, President. Mr. R. C. Brodie, Vice-president. Mr . G. W . Lindsley, Secretary

Treasurer.
