COMMITTEES ARE CHOSEN
TO HANDLE WORK OF COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
University Is Preparing for More Visitors Than Ever Before Attended Commencement.
The committees which will have charge of the various activities of Commencement week have been announced from the Chancellor's office. Of late years commencement week has been crowded so full of events that a large number of committees and committee members have been necessary to look after all the work that had to be done. This year is to be no exception. In fact it is planned to have the doings of the week on a larger scale than was ever attempted before.
This year's graduating class has an imposing array of 400 members now (though that number will be, alas! cut down somewhat before the commencement rose bloom), making it by far the largest graduating class in the history of the University. That mean that a larger throng of fond relatives than usual will have to be taken care of at the commencement exercises. The alumni are coming back in larger numbers each year. So the University apthorities have cause to think that there will be a larger crowd o visitors than at any previous commencement.
The classic athletic event of commencement week—the baseball game between seniors and alumni—will be played as it has been from time immemorial, and will be one of the show feature of commencement week. Or scarcely less importance as a drawing card will be the regatta which will be held on the Kavriver Monday of commencement week. The first regatta was held last year. It was greatly enjoyce by University visitors.

Harry Kemp Prefers Championship Belt to Laurel Crown.
One would have thought, had he stood outside the punching-bag room yesterday, that Jack Johnson had stopped off on his trip west and spent the day training at the University. The whole building shook, and even the seis mograph in the basement of Fraser hall was puzzled. But it was not a prize-fighter—far from it It was a poet, and none other than our own Harry Kemp. Harry can punch a bag some, too.
"You see," he said, as he landed a vicious blow on the leather. "I have to start in training about this time every year, so I'll be able to 'rough it' during the summer. I went to the Great Lake last summer."
"Why don't you ride in a Pull man?" somebody asked.
"There is not enough money in poetry," exclaimed the poet, still beating a tattoo on the bag, "so I can't afford it. I wish I had started out in prize-fighting in stead of poetry. There's more money in it." This in answer to the bystander's look of amazement.
"No, I don't care for money," the poet went on regardless o logic. Any ordinary person can make money. I want to be different from the common people. I should like to be a prize-fighter because there is excitement in it—the notoriety, the crowds, the
but the remainder of the poetic philosophy was lost in the din of the regular throbs of the punching-bag, as it bounded bael and forth in a poetic rhythm, impelled by poetic jabs.
DISPLAYED LOUD HOSIERY
University of Chicago Youth Causes Commotion.
In the midst of the campus, surrounded by influences of independence and free thought and in an atmosphere of personal liberty, University students yesterday violated all the precedents of scholastic propriety by depriving a fellow student, equal before the law, of his presumably inalienable right to do as he pleased when a number of personal friends stripped Lyle Harper of his hosiery.
It is true that the hose were particularly car-splitting in tone and dazzling in color, but hitherto on University campuses the brighter the raiment, the more popular. The precedent set yesterday by University students on the University campus is thus the more unexpected and startling. The days of college extremes in clothing, especially hosiery are numbered.
Harper was charged with of fending propriety by displaying a noisy combination of yellow and black hose, and aggravated the offense by wearing 'his trousers turned up a few inches higher than usual. His hose were forcibly removed and suspended in a nearby tree, and he was permitted to return home to secure additional—and quiet—covering for his pedal extremities, only after oath never to repeat his crime in the University neighborhood.

An Out-Door Club.
The official list of organizations at Michigan has secured another addition in the recognition by the committee on non-athletic organizations of "The Society of Les Voyageurs." The society is in a large measure honorary and is composed exclusively of foresters and engineers. It is a rerequirement of membership that one's future vocation shall call him to a life out-of-doors. The society has about a score of members and maintains club rooms.
Two Glee Club Concerts.
The members of the University Glee club are preparing to take a trip at the end of next week. Manager Edgar Forde has arranged to give two concerts on the trip-one at Augusta May 6, and the other at Burns May 7.
