Notes From The Campus

. The field day committee of the athletic association had a bauquet at Hank's last Thursday and a very jovial time was indulged in. At a meeting of tho junior law cluss last Friday af ternoon Mr. Savage of Minnesota was chosen president after quite a spirited contest. C. F. Walkins and F. W. Whiting have returned from the D. K. E. convention at Hamiltou college, Clinton, N. Y., to which they were delegated. A number of sidevvalks and crosswalks were torn up night before last, in various vicinities about town, but tliis is about the only rolic left of former barbarism. Prof. Henncquin bolted some of his classes ono day last week, and the next day was seen wearing an unwonted smile. Congratulations were immediately in order for the addition ti his family. A walking match was held last Tuesday evening between Miss May Marshall of Chicago, and Mr. E. L. Rooks of the law department, winner of the field day ten mile walk. Distance, twenty miles for twenty dollaTs a side. Friday evening the Psi U. fraternity gave a hop at tlieir chaptcr house which was a very recliertlie affair. The rainy weather doubtless hail an influence in keeping some away, but the remainder spent a veiy pleasant evening. The Slayton star concert company give an entertainment in university hall tomorrow evening. The company embraces Heinc,the blind violinist.and the guese male quartette, and the entertainment is of au exceedingly interesting and popular nature. The cane rush between the sophs and freshs is likely to end in nothing but smoke and dust. The faculty have forbidden the sophsfrom forbidding the freshies from carrying canes, but from the present status, affairg are far from wearing a forbidding aspect. Mr. Hegeier, the Illinois zinc maaufacturer who has so liberally contributed to the gymnasium fund is visiting his duughIer this week, who is a member of the class of '82. He spent some time exarnining the different scientific departments of the university, and expressed himself as well pleased therewith. As we predicted last week the uuiversity foot ball team, now on an easteru trip, has acquitted itself with much credit. The game yesteriay with Harvard resulted in a draw, the Harvard men obtaining one touchdown during the first innings. Throughout the second innings Harvard war compelled to play strictly on the defensive, the ball being kept within fifteen yards of Harvard's goal. At one time Ayres carried it within three feet of the goal line but was then stopped. Those who witnessed the two games with Toronto will at once recollect that Michigan maintained a similar position in each of those games. The interest feit bjr the students in the success of the team is materially enhanced by the fact that this is the first attempt of Michigan university to compete with the older eastern colleges in athletic sports. The eleven is one hastily organizod and wilh but little practice and, wheu the standing of its opponents is considered, is entitled to the greatest credit for its success. The remaining games of the series are: Yale, Nov. 3; Piiuceton, Nov. 5. Last Saturday afternoou occurred a great anomaly in college politics, a quiet enthusiastic election of senior class offlcers in the literary departmeat. College politics had become so odious and silly to those that were old enough to see the folly of their ways, that a complete revuV siou set in and the election came near going by default. The few that were there took little interest in the matter, and merely went through the motions in u mechanical sort of way. The first two or three offices were filled by voting by acclamation without a disseuting voice. Then a moticm was made that tüe chairmaii nominate the balance of the "poople on the ticket and that the secretary sup port the chairman's nomination. Thi was carried and thus all the orneéis wer provided for but that of toast-master. A motioQ was made and carried that th chairman and secretary "flip up" for it and the office duly feil to the lot of th secretary of the meeting. The following Isa list of officers: President, Douglas Campbell; vice president, Eliza Darliog; secretary. B. S. Bennett; treasurer, H H. Spencer; seer, Laura Hills; poet, L. G. Morey; historian, W. B Cady; toast master, R. T . Gray ; orator, J. F. Gallahsr; marshal, C. H. Childs.
