(The Michigan Daily assumes no re-

Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
There are times when a word 'from
an upperclassman to those who are to
follow is not amiss.
The action of the members of the
present freshman class in painting
their dirty green, little insignificant,
trivial, childish-I won't write it,-
on the class monument in front of the
law building was the most infantile
thing that has ever been done on this
campus. It showed a disrespect of
all that goes to make up a university.
It ws Worse than the crudest kind of
vandalism. VYgdlism merely destroys,
this kind of highfvolislessism, or let
us say grammargradeism, not only 4e-
stroys the beauty of that historio nwn-
ument, but it is an insult to the class
that put the monument there. -That
monument, like all other class tokens
'should be preserved, if we are to re-
tain the name of university, with tras
ditions and customs befitting an in-
stitution of higher learning. If we, as
an institution, are to become a school
for flaunters of the red flag, breeders
of riot, demolishers of all that is good
and stable in society, and a place for
the erudification, if such were possi-
ble of infantile minds, then such things
might be tolerated.
The only feasible remedy is for the
men, and we may be thankful that we
have some real men in the first year
class, to remove the stains of those
"Hoodlums," in the speediest man-
ner possible. Then if the whole organ-
ized freshman class can find the men
who did it, if they are afraid to tell
the faculty, let them tell any senior
or junior, or sophomore on the cam-
pus, and they may, rest assured that
those dirty little puppies will get all
they so richly deserve.
Perhaps this may seem a little se-
vere on some of our ignorant fools,
and to call them even that is rank
flattery; but if it seems severe, just
consider that they are common thiev-
es, for they have stolen, in the mis-
taken belief that it would reflect glory
on themselves and people of their ilk,
what is the property of another or-
ganization, the class of 62.
To call a spade a spade, they are com-
'mon thieves, nothing more and noth-
ing less, and as such they should be
dealt with accordingly, and as an up-
perclassman, I want to go on record
as favoring the immediate expulsion
from the university of those men who
were engaged in this nefarious enter-
prise, and as a man I would like to
help horsewhip (which is putting it
mildly) every one of the dirty little
whelps who was engaged in that, job.

Eighteen Syracuse athletes, with
their trainer and manager, arrived in
Ann Arbor last evening, all in readi-
ness for the struggle with the Michi-
gan track men this afternoon at Ferry
field. The members of the party left
Syracuse 'Thursday noon, travelling'
by rail to Buffalo, and from thence to
Detroit by boat. The team spent yes-
terday in Detroit and came out to Ann
Arbor on the evening train,
Besides Trainer "Tom" Keane and
Manager Cochrane of the Syracuse
team, the Orangemen party consists of
Captain Reidpath, Fogg, Robertson,
Kinney, Taylor, Newing, Rile, Algire,
Danes, Sargent, Coakley, Kortwright,
Champlin, Thompson, Stiles, Street,
Barden and Pratt.
The final apportionment of these
eighteen athletes to the various events
was as follows: Reidpath, Fogg and
Robertson will take care gf the 100
yards, 220 yards and 440 yards dashes;
Kinney, Taylor and Newing, the half
mile; Algire, Rile, Danes and Sargent,
the mile and two mile runs; Coakley,
Kortwright, Champlin and Thompson,
the hurdles; Kortwright in the pole
vault and high jump; Stiles in the high
junp; Champlin in the discus throw,
shot put and broad jump; Street in the
weight events, and Bardlen and Pratt
in the broad jump.
The men Michigan will enter in the
events are those who made the best
showings in the Varsity meet last Sat-
.urday, with the exception, of course,
of those who are ineligible to compete
as Varsity athletes.
A feature of the meet will be the
numbering system which will be em-
ployed to designate the athletes. Eaph
man competing his been given a num-
ber and will wear the figures pn his
back. The numbers correspond to
numbers opposite the names of the en-
trants on the programs, and spectators
will thus be able to distinguish the
athletes.
Michigan's track squad took a ligh~t
workout yesterday afternoon, and on
the eve of the struggle all of the men
appeared to be in fair condition for

RULES FOR RELAY RACES.
Michigan's second Annual
Strqw Hat Day has been
ally set for today. So get out
the last year's "grass lid," or if
it has passed the stage of re-
spectable old age, try the hab-
erdasher and invest in a new
one. Straw Hat Day is an inno-
vation at Michigan, but it is
thought that its success last
year warrants the continuation
of the custom, as much for the
fact that it means the establish-
ment of a new tradition in the
university as anything else.
Derbies or caps will not be in
the race today, but panamas and
the lighter straws will reign su-
preme, for the one day at least,
and the wearers will be subject
to no disagreeable remarks from
the hands of unfeeling "studes,"
due to the fact that an annual
straw hat day is held in all the
larger universities in the coun-
try. So, be patriotic and eigpt
the new lid.
