Four big convocations opened the student section of the Loyalty Drive for $1,000,000 with which to build a stadium and a student union building this morning.
After the various speakers has talked, the 400 workers passed aside out among the students and collected his pledges. Each worker has a list of ten names, every student being included on them, or those students not asked for a subscription this morning will be called up next afternoon.
Tabulation of the results is given; forward rapidly behind the closed doors of Registrar George O. Foster's office in Fraser. Preliminary announcement of the early results were expected between 3 and 4 d'clock this afternoon, but the many complications of receiving a blood transfusion including machinery and prevent final results being known for two or three days, it is said.
The meetings were the most universally attended of any ever held in the University. The College meeting, the first complete gathering of the Liberal Arts and Sciences division in the last two decades, alone filled the lower floor of the gymnasium to overflowing, the estimated attendance being more than 2000.
"Mop-up sounds" and "dying squirrons" will be formed tennight from the workers, and after the namen are given to the registrars it has been checked off the registrars' list of students, those on the list 'will be visited in a last minute drive.'
The College conversation opened at 10 o'clock and lasted until 12. The last thirty minutes were taken up in the disorder of the workers "hunting their men," but the first ninety minutes made up a magnificent pop most
"The spirits of Tommy Johnson and Uncle Jimmy Green" were invoked to gaze upon the enterprise which the University is embarking in this drive Head Coach "Phog" Allen, who recounted several incidents and high lights in the lives of these two—K. U. heroes. "Phog was a magnificent ovation that lasted five hours when he was announced to speak.

L. P. F., Walker of the School of Engineering has invited Mr Ringe to speak at a special convoction of all branches of the Engineering school in Marseille Hall Friday morning at 9:30am and the engineering plans will be discussed.
At times when he is not lecturing any students interested may find him in the headquarter of the Y. M. C. J. A., where he will perform a recital, the crew of Mr. Ringer's schedule is:
Thursday 7:30 Mr. Ringe will talk to the Hi-Y of Lawrence high school at the Lawrence Y. M. C. A.

Dr. Schwegler Talks at Week of Prayer Meeting
3:30 Engineering students select Dean Walker's office.
12:30 Plans made for talk to selected group at facility luncheon at the university Club.
The meetings will continue in various houses over the campus according to the plans of the organizations promoting the week of prayer. Toorrow morning at 7:45 o'clock Chancellor Lindley will talk on the power of prayer in American colleges. There has thus far been an increased attendance at each of the successive prayer meetings.
Dr. Schweger said in part: "In history the big men have been praying men. Because men have found some truths through science and discovery through experience, they explain many or all things in this way. But I am sure that there is such a thing as resultful and effective prayer; but it is one of the things that we have not exactly explained. It is not possible to explain through individuals acting as mediums just as the physical phenomena of the lens burning a fire. The men and women in colleges these days when civilization is about to be redefined are the men and women upon whom the layer life is the important hing"
--n The increase of class and organization spirit due to the better accommodation for meetings and entertainments given by the Michigan union building, is a very large feature of the usefulness of the institute.

GRADUATE TELLS WHY UNION IS ESSENTIAL
I. E. Riggs, '86, Now of Michigan U. Faculty, Praises Michigan Union
HELPS C'
JS DEMOCRACY
Hold Frat Conventions, Contra Activities, And Welcome Graduates in Structure
That the democracy of a state University was wonderfully increased by a student Union building such as that proposed by the Loyalty Campaign, Mr. Riggs, 86, in a letter to Prof. W. J. Baumpartner of the Million-Dollar Drive committee, Mr. Riggs is professor of civil engineering at the University of Michigan, which has a $1,400,000 student Union building.
The advantages of a union building to a university are outlined by Professor Riggs as follows:
Ann Arbor, like Lawrence, is a city of villanous hotels and of long distances, hotel to Campus, so that very few are invited. And those few called for entertainment at private homes. The advantages to the University of bringing the University men from all parts of America are too obvious to need arguing.
n daily list of lunches and dinners which mark a long step in the way of bettering university conditions—such groups as the law faculty, the history faculty, the civil engineering group, the forestry group and dooms of other departments in different partsments get together at more or less frequent intervals to discuss their problems and above all to know one another.
It makes it possible for the University to invite and properly entertain conventions. Since the Michigan Union has been completed dozens of conventions of mathematical, scientific and cultural activities, societies have been held here. The state bar association, the state journalists, university registrars, and other such organizations have met at the Union. Fraternity conventions and a two weeks convention of the University of America are soon the student uses.
It makes possible closer association of the different groups in the University. With main dining room, dining room, and cafeteria, the kitchen has 4000 meals per day; with twelve or fifteen smaller dining rooms there is
Student groups such as the Kansas county clubs, the Kansas Club, the New England Club, the Chinese students, the Hindoe group, and the
South American use it. Various societies use it. During the college year every day sees from seven or eight to twenty such gatherings.
The Union enables control of student activities. All forms of student activity center in the Union. The musical clubs, athletic clubs, the dramatic clubs have quarters and are generally male-only. Two dancing parties each of 250 couples, are given here where university control holds
a check. A billboard room with 24 tables gives the opportunity to put this fine game on a proper basis as to control. Eight bowling alley sets this game under the eye of university authority. This matter of student achievement is more difficult and more difficult as the student body grows. We have at the present time about 8,300 students attending classes on the Campus, with the total enrollment this year of 10,700 and over.
Anything that enables us to direct
and control the play of these young
children of infinite value to the U
iversity.
The Union emphasizes the democracy of a state university. The Michigan Union brings together under the one roof over 7,000 men in Michigan, the nearly all the countries of the globe, forming a meeting ground which can be found no place else. Here we have protestants of all denominations, Catholics, Mohammedans, Hindos and followers of Confucius, men of all faiths who come to Michigan sufficiently equal and whose common point of contract is membership in the University of Michigan. It seems to me that the Union comes as near meeting Dr. Angel's ideal as anything could do. It makes for better
Mid-Semester College Reports Are Obtainable
zans of the world; it is doing more to foster international friendships and relationships that never would be formed, were it not for our universal membership plan, and for the perfect Michigan offered by the Michigan Union.
A recent ruling of the College Faculty states "precise mid-semester reports are required of all college instructors upon all freshmen, and upon such other students in the several colleges training a satisfactory class standard."
In accordance with this ruling the reports are in the dean's office. The advisers of freshmen will call their respective students for a conference some time this week. Sophomores junior and seniors may find out whether their work is satisfactory or not by calling at the Dean's office, not according to Dean Brendan. Noades of A or B are recorded, however.

Seven hundred and fifty-two contributions were counted, and made a total of $52,369 in pledges. This makes an average of $75.34 each, but this is discounted by the Loyalty Drive minagers by the fact that the workers at a luncheon Monday contributed more than $88 each for a total of $12,000.
WOMEN SELL TICKETS FOR "K. U. FOLLIES"
Very few of the captains had been checked in at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, but more were expected this evening, as the houses were canvassed for the men sent out for by workers.
Two Thousand Went on Sale
K. U. Women on Campus
Wednesday
Two thousand tickets placed on sale for the "Follies of 1921" Saturday night in the gym were going fast last week. Specially charged for the charge of the ticket sale. Specially selected women of energy and peep were picked to sell the tickets, and a five-pound box of cookies will be sold to sell the largest number of tickets.
The tickets, which are in the form of "red cards" are being sold over the Hill and in fraternity and soy houses today and tonight. The ticket sells at five cents each. Tickets sell at fifty cents each, and everyone is assured a seat.
The rehearsals are fazzing along in fine shape. Lucile Cleveland, chairman of the Follies committee, Jimmy McCoy and the chorus of Schrober orchestra are all busy as the proverbial bee every night, and the choruses are showing some life, despite the efforts to the contrary in their members of the choruses by their trainers.
The opening number will be "Sean-
walk" a "back-behind the scenes"
feature, with Helen Elfeldt, ballet
dancer as lead. A "special" by Billy
Ball will impermeate Mr. Carneus
and other noted artists.
"Love is Just a Game" is the second and chorus, which will be led by Paul Doerf and Robert Griffin, and will begin with "Wonderland," chorus led by Elsa Friable.
The Delta Tau quartet will present a few sparkling numbers, and will be followed by a truly rube chorus, "Sally Green." A regular old-fashioned "square dance" will be staged by this chorus to much "do-se-doing." Mildred Wizard plays the lead a village vamp.
John Brodie will give several of the Scotch inversionals that have so pleased K. U., audiences this fall.
Singing, slipping and sliding will all be included in the stunt of the "Five Roly-Polies" an unknown outfit of musical tumblers.
Oriental mysticism and sneaky creeping to rhythmic eastern music will feature an unusual "Klamath" catfish. Arizona's wildlife, Virginia Haynes is the lead.
The finale will be an original songs and dance ensemble entitled "Al in a Doll" by The Mysteries of Phyllis DePew are the leads in this chorus which gives much possibility for their pair of good voices. The performance will start at 8
Professor Stevens Speaks
The Botany Club met last night at the home of Prof. W. C. Stevens at 1121 Louisiana street. Professor Stevens spoke on "Preservation of the Red Woods." His lecture consisted of the story of his travels through the Red Wood Country last summer and twenty-five members of the Club at an unusually large attendance.

UNIVERSE AN ISLAND
That our universe is an island floating through space among hundreds of thousands of similar universes, was the theory advanced by Dr. H. D. Curtis, Director of Allegemy氢冰箱, in his address to a large crower at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Dr. Curtis said that the best evidence indicated that our own galaxy of stars was about 30,000 to 50,000 light-years in extent, and shaped roughly like a watch. When we look out at the "Milky way" we are looking at galaxies with a greater number of stars are to be seen.

Miss Blanchard, who has spent several months in Europe studying the post-war conditions among the students, told of some of her personal experiences with the Christian Student Federation, which she terms the "Student League of Nations," will do much to alleviate the horror of the present situation. Miss Blanchard remarked on the unimaginable opportunities this organization this summer in Switzerland, for the first time in seven years, just two years after the close of the World War. Students from our enemy countries were represented as well as an audience of Christian teachers that the Christian feeling for each meeting will carry over to state affairs.
