Any issue is bound to get confused in the mind of the public, when it hap- pens to be a bit complicated. This would seem to be true with the so- called purity cainpaign, instituted by a number ofVarsity athletes. It came so easy, for those ironically inclined, to make light of the move, and to quote the agitators as in favor of almost everything, that the campus began to believe that the leaders of the propos- ed reform were really trying to wipe out even the vices which are generally considered rather pardonable. The communication published in these columns yesterday, signed by the man who is said to have started the movement, clears up a lot of misun- derstanding. It appears that the men behind the campaign are not unalter- ably opposed to the cigarette, and that they do not lay especial stress upon profanity, although undoubtedly they would be far from desiring to advocate even the minor questionable habits. It is clear that no effort is being made to pin white-ribbons broadcast, and, no matter how. commendable such a practice might be, its absence in the present agitation will elicit support in some quarters where indifference might otherwise be predominant. Probably one of the chief mysteries connected with the senior lit Christ- mas party will be as to where the re- quired half dollar is to come from, Michigan will have a regular track team yet, if those in authority contin- ue to tackle the problem with persist- ency. The profs who, according to report, don't read their bluebooks, are legion in rumor, but few in fact. One advantage of going to college, is that it enables one to audit one's son's accounts knowingly. Has Friend Roomie recommenced again to praise the home products?

It is designed to take the place of a university post office, through which university women may commun- icate with one another, and through which official notices may be sent to committees by their chairmen. The system has been found to save time and energy at other colleges, where it has been in use. * * * Lena Mott, '15, has been appointed general chairman of the committee in charge of the annual Michigan Wom- en's banquet, which will be held, as usual, immediately before spring va- cation. . * There will be no meeting of the combined Kermess committee today. The Vocational conference commit- tee is making a list of ,Michigan alum- nae who are prominent in the voca- tions. These women will be asked to act as vocational councillors to wom- en who may register as being interest- ed in the fields of the conference. An alumnae correspondent has been ap- pointed in Detroit and in Washington, D. C., to facilitate the work. - a The Junior %irls' luncheon will be conducted by a committee of collegiate alumnae, at 12:15 o'clock this after- noon, in Barbour gym. The remaining lunheons will be held at the same time ad place throughout the year. CABINET CLUB TO GIVE DANCE FOR ALUMNI IN CAPITOL CITY Under the direction of the Cabinet club, a dance will be given for the alumni of the University of Michigan, at the Hotel Raleigh, in Washington, D. C., December 28. It is planned to give this dance for the benefit of the alumni, and invitations are being sent to all those who might attend. During the intermission, moving pictures will be shown of the spring contest, and other events of interest which have happened about the campus. The committee is also planning to have a lecture given at each of the five high schools in Washington, and, in connection with each talk, there will be shown moving pictures and lantern slides of the campus and its points of interest. These lectures are given in accordance with the 'cub's policy of promoting interest in the University, among the high school boys of their city. LELAND POWERS TO APPEAR ON ORATORY PROGRAM NEXT WEEK Leland Powers will appear on the next program of the Oratorical associ- ation, Friday night, December 18. Mr. Powers is well known at Michigan, having been here 18 times in past years.
