Hop, the event in which even greater interest is felt than in thearrival of conditions and plucks, was a most successful one. Watermangymnasium was decorated with a great canopy of blue and yellow whichwas very pretty with the colored lights used. The railing of the runningtrack was covered with green stuff and Barbour gymnasium was also decorated.Our booth was in blue and white with the fraternity coat-of-armsover the entrance. During the hop house party Saturday and Sundav theguests went to the glee club concert; saw the comedy club give the "Out-•sider," and were given a dance at the house Saturday night after the gleeclub concert. Everyone seemed to have had a fine time. Shortly after thehop was over we received a beautiful stein from the chaperones and we havebeen told that the hop girls are having some pictures framed for our newly•decorated dining room.Beside the active chapter men who attended the hop there were BrothersKusterer, Quinlan, and Bailey of the alumni.Following is the list of guests:Chaperones—Mrs. E.

Y.The freshman banquet was given, with the usual secrecy as to date,March 2. Bro. Kaiser represented us as a member of the arrangementscommittee. The sophs ran off a good number of freshmen but did not suc-•ceed in getting the toastmaster. Bro. Rowell was one of the unfortunateones to be kidnapped and was turned into the banquet hall at a late hour ina very striking costume. A change for the better was made by the omissionof the haircutting which has brought much unpleasant notoriety to the banquetformerly.Everything is track now; what the men are doing indoors; and what arethe prospects for a winning team this spring. Archie Hahn, who was backfor a visit to Ann Arbor, and who had bees watching the try out at thegymnasium, came out in the Dally with an article saying that Michiganought to win the conference meet this year.In the preliminary meet Bro. Bristol got a fourth in the dash and a thirdin the quarter mile. The second, the fresh-soph, meet, was an easy victoryfor the sophomores. Bro.

Bristol ran on the '07 Literary relay team.At the varsity meet two records were broken, the mile and quarter mile,and the high jump record equaled by two men.
