AGGIE GAME WILL
BE SETTLED SOON
Coach Macklin, of the Michigan
Agricultural College, will be in Ann
Arbor next week to confer with the
local athletic officials on dates for
football and baseball games, and track
meets.
Athletic Director P. G. Bartelme an-
neunced yesterday that in the mean-
time nothing definite would be done in
regard to the final settlement of the
place of staging the Michigan-Aggie
gridiron struggle for next fall.
It is expected that three baseball
games will be scheduled with the far-
mers, as has been the cutsom in the
last few years. Two years ago the
Lansing nine won all three games, and
last year the Varsity came back with
three straight.
Track competition between the two
institutions will be limited to an in-
door meet between the Aggie team and
the Michigan Freshmen, March 14, in
vaterman gymnasium. The football
game is scheduled for October 17.

Editor, Michi an Daily: -
Self government has an alluring
sound. It is often used to denote a
government which is distinctly not
self government. There are many,
styles of se-Called 'self government.'
The self government at 1'rinceton, for
instance, differs radically from the
'self government' at Vassar.
The scheme presented at the girls'
mass meeting last week suggested the
limited sort of self government which
exists at Vassar and Radcliffe. It pro-
vides for student authority over:-unl-
form house rules, order in classes and
on campus, quiet in the library, and
quiet hours in the dormitories.
Among the present generation of
college students no misunderstanding
will arise as to what is meant by The
term 'self government,' and how much
power the students have. But in the
future trouble is likely to arise from
using the high sounding name for the
government proposed. Students hav-
ing a 'self government association'
will resent laws made by the faculty,
and hard feeling between the faculty
and the students will result.
For that reason let us call the pro-
posed scheme of government by a
more appropriate name. Since it
merely aims to co-operate with the
faculty in governing the students, let
us call it a 'Co-operative Government.'
A complete self government is pos-
sible where the majority of students
are interested in it and are willing to
work for its success. But judging
from the amount of interest the girls
have shown in the proposed scheme,
it will.be years before such a govern-
ment can be successfully carried on
here.
Then let us .not hitch along with
the name 'self government,' but let
us be content with a 'Co-operative
Association' which shall help the fac-
ulty to govern us until we are capable
of governing ourselves, alone.
Winifred Anderson, '14.
COSMOPOLITANS TO
SEE STATE CITIES
Plans for an organized trip through-
out the state will be formulated at the
meeting of the Cosmopolitan club to
be held on the first Friday after the
examination weeks. Detroit, Lansing,
Jackson, Pontiac, Muskegon, Kalama-
zoo, l'ostumville, Grand Rapids, and
Battle Creek will be visited. invita-
tions are coming in from vai'ious other
places requesting the inspection by
the Cosmopolitans.
The date for tryouts for the recom-
mendations to the University exten-
sion lecture department will also be
decided upon. The new s-editor on
The Cosnopolitan Student for the
Michigan chapter, and the editorial
committee of the magazine will be
elected.
The schedule of the lectures to be
given under the auspices of the club
will be announced, and the menbers
will also ratify the amendment to the
national constitution drafted at the
recent convention in Iowa.
VA %I N A TIO .
by
Dr. loward IEu'4iig i iinii:ing
of t l:( bi ersity ienf i th ier've,
The vain: of vaccination was prven
by .iener in 1796. Siet- that tie,
most civilized nations have adopted
vaccination against smal[pox as a pre-
ventivo measlure.
In 1874, (ermany passed a law re-
puirig the vaccination o all cil-
dren before they reached the age of
one year, and a second vaccination
at the age of twelve years. In 1894,
there were but eight deaths from
snallpox in Germany and in the en-
tire German army there have been but
two deaths from smallpox since 1874.
On the other hand, from 893i to
187 in Russia alone, there were
275,502 deaths from smallpox. Prac-
tically all of those who perished, had
not been vaccinated.
Due to the extensive campaign of vac-
cination carried on in our country,
there has not been a great epidemic
of smallpox in recent years. Some
states have passed laws requiring
compulsory vaccination while others
have left the problem o preventing'
smallpox, to the individual. Because
of this fact, cases of smallpox are
occuring today in Maryland, Minne-
sota, New York, Indiana, .Kansas,
North lakota, Oregon, Utah, Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Ohio.
The state of Michigan does not
compel her citizens to be vaccinated
but the high degree of intelligence of
her people has prevented epidemics.
Probably the larger percentage of
the population of Michigan is vaccin-
ated. Students in the University of
Michigan should be vaccinated to pro-
tect themselves and their fellow stu-
dents. By so doing the student also
enlists in the world wide campaign for
the prevention of disease.
Yr VLASSES FOIR MEN TO
OPEN UP THUR11SDAY. FEB 1±.
Gymnasium classes for men will
open for the second semester with the
11 o'clock section on Thursday, Feb-
ruary 12: and will continue until the
spring vacation, which marks the end
of the compulsory gymnasium work,
The gymnasium will be open until
5:00 o'clock every day for the next
two weeks, although no regular clas-
ses will be held. Classifications for
the second semester must be made
before February 11.
1, S SUBSTITUTE NUMBERS
FOR N iMES ON B1UE-BO liS.
The number system for identifica-
tion of blue-books, will be used in the
law department during the first se-
mester examinations. The object of
the number system is to avoid all
faveritism towards students. The
professor in making the papers under
the new system will not be able to
ascertain the pupil's name, except by
reference to the office where each stu-
dent has been designated by the nrm-,
hers given out previous to the ex-
aminations. This system is now in
the Harvard law school.
Campus Eccentric Makes Brief Visit,
Tom Major, former campus char-
acter and student, dropped into Ann
Arbor a few days ago, just as he said,
"To see the old place once more and
let the boys know I am still living."
He disappeared as mysteriously as he
came, only remaining part of a day
in the city o' his proposed Alma.
Mater. .'
Percy Mackaye, author of the
"Scarecrow," which will be presented
by the Comedy club on February 12,
at the Whitney theatre is one of the
foremost playwrights in America to-
day.
"If he can continue now to keep his
plays sharp in outline and definite-
definite for his audiences-without
losing his earlier poetic fancy, and his
fine delicate idealism, Mr. Mackaye
should be a leader on one wing of our
dramatic advance"-wrote a promi-
nent New York critic in 1908, in con-
cluding his review of Percy Mackaye's
play, entitled "Anti-Matrimony,"
That Mr. Mackaye did continue to
keep his plays sharp i noutline with-
out losing his early fancy and ideal-
ism, was shown strikingly in his play,
"The Scarecrow." This piece was first
produced by Harvard students, with
so much success that it was secured
for Edmund Brees, and played at the
Garrick theatre. It was in this pro-
duction that Senator La Follette's
daughter appeared in the role of
Rachel.
Besides his plays, Mr. Mackaye has
written countless papers on the sub-
ject of an endowed national theatre,
of which he is one of the most en-
thusiastic suporters in America. As
the basis of his argument for its ex-
istence, the author says: "The play-
house, as an institution in America.
is a vital concern of the American
people. As such, the efficient regula-
tion of its functions to the ends of
greatest public service, is the concern
of the leaders of the American people
our eminent educators, our civic
societies, our powerful and altruistic
citizens.''
A{61FES MAY BAR FRESHMEN
FROM' (OMPETNC ONT*EAS.
The Michigan Agricultural College
may bar first year men from compet-
ing on its college teams. The Aggie
student council has taken the question
up, and will soon submit it to a cam-
pus vote.
Two freshmen, Blaklock and Ilen-
ning, played on the farmer football
team last fall. No other important
gridiron foe of Michigan places first
year men on their teams.
Although the one year residence
rule is thus gaining ground in the
West, it is apparently losing in the
East. Yale has announced that first
year men will be allowed to play on
the Varsity basketball five, and Prince-
ton has adopted the policy this fall of
letting freshmen play on all of her
minor sports teams.
Columbia has always let first year
men play on her Varsity teams, hold-
ing that the rule was of no value as a
purifier of athletics. Coach Yost holds
an opposite view, as expressed in an
interview last fall concerning the
eligibility rules at the Lansing insti-
tution.
sIIAR ATES HOLD 11PORTA2NT
POS1TIONS iN INSURANCE.
Two Michigan graduates, who stud-
ied insurance under Prof. J, W, Glov-
er, of the mathematics department,
have been appointed to important po-
sitions in insurance companies. Verne
L. Tickner, '12, has been made actuary
and assistant secretary of the North
Insurance company of Amerca,
J. R. Morrison, '14, who was made
actuary of the first National Life and
Accident Insurance company of Pierre,
S. D., last June, has been promoted to
the office f secretary of the company.
FORESTERS 1ILLR BAN QUET
ANP 1)A s NCEM T SEMSTR.
Arrangements for the annual ban-
quet of the Forestry .elub were ar-
ranged at the last meeting. Professor
\ Walter Mulford, former instructor of
forestry at Michigan, and now dean of
forestry at Cornell, will be the gest
of honor. The banquet will be given
at the Inion on March 25 at 7 o'clock.
The club also voted to hold the annual
dance Feb. 13.
Whistle Blows Each IDay at Nion.
A short blast upon the siren fire
whistle, recently installed at the uni-
versity power house, is being blown
every day at noon. This is necessitat-
ed because of the danger of freezing
attendant upon the condensation of
moisture around the whistle. The
fire signal consists of long and re-
peated blasts.
PERCY MACKAYI
NOTED PLAYWE
More than 500 post cards are being
mailed by Intramural Director Rowe,
to all students who signified their de-
sire for training in track work, and
who are not at present trying out for
the varsity team.
These students are requested to re-
port to Director Rowe at the gymna-
sium between 3:00 and 5:00 o'clock
any afternoon after the examinations.
In previous years, those men who did
not approach Varsity caliber were al-
most entirely neglected, but under the
present system Director Rowe pro-
poses to give individual attention to
any who may desire it.
By way of arousing interest in this
class of athletes there will be an in-
terclass track meet in the latter part
of February which will be known as
the "dub" meet, and which will be
open only to those men who are not
out for Varsity honors. It is expected
that this contest will meet with mark-
ed success as it furnishes rivalry be-
tween the different classes as a whole,
and interests a larger number than the
ordinary meet.
In addition to the regular list of
t'ack and field events, any event will
be staged in which there are a suffi-
cient number interested. Many cur-
ious prizes will be awarded to the
winners of the various events, and to
{he highest individual point winner.
Postones Date of Irish roductio"s.
llue to the change in the date of
the Union opera in Mar, the engage-
ment of the Irish players has been
postponed, the exact time to be an-
nounced later. The appearance of
the Repertory players also has been
delayed owing to prolonged engage-
ment of the company in Chicago. The
plays will probably appear some time
in March.
