Every day now sees Ibe revivification of some phase of the jd life-the band, the dramatic and usical clubs, debating, campus so- ties, fraternities-every sort of lass, social, religious, and self-ex- resva activity is coming back to us. In the' days before the war there s04 to be considerable talk floating bout the campus on the general use- essness of some of these groups; or f they were not stigmatized by that erm, they encountered a feeling of Do campus activities really pay?" lthough there is much to be said in ehaf of the stand that participation y any individual in a large number f organizations wastes his force, in- erferes with his academic work, and revents him from accomplishing nything worth while in any one line, he existence of the activities them- tlves can no longer be attacked. The very fact that they are being Wrought back into existence in spite .f the difficulties of the present situ- tion is proof enough of their value. 'he really useless ones, and there robably are a few, will not reappear, pr no oie will take the trouble to re- -ive them. Those which are returning rvidently fill a want which is present a the student body, which can be upplied by no other force, and their ight to live cannot be questioned. The problem of the future will be he same as in the past-how to dis- rdbute the value of the activities to he largest possible number of men nd women in the University-but it kill not be complicated by insinuations hat the activities themselves have no Faison d'etre. Those who assume responsible pos- tions in campus organizations can at h:s time do much to solve the distri- >uton problem by searching out new naterial, of which there are obvious- y vast and unknown quantities. And iew men in the University should eel no hesitancy in following these venues of expression and good fel- owship as fast is they are opened up o them. There is a chance for every ind of talent and no lights should be ild under bushels Michigan is going o come out of the reconstruction per- od finer, stronger, and greater than aver and with her will come all the smaller groups who help to make up he sum of her glory. Edward Everett Hale's "Man With- ut a Country" is being enacted on a rand scale on the Russo-German oundary. According to reports the Russian government has turned back ,500,00 soldiers returning from German prison camps. The first courtmartial in the his- tory of the University of Michigan S. A. T. C. will be held in the near future. Two men were absent with- out leave for several days. They will be tried by military courtmiartial. The military authorities regfet a great deal that the perfect record of the S. A. T. C. here should be spoiled at the last minute. They wish to bring the fact before the students that the S. A. T. C. here is the only large one in the United States which has not been forced to have military police in order to en- force order. The .organization here is the largest one in the country. The authorities wish to thank the men for making this possible by their good behavior and by showing such good spirit. Except f9r these two cases of A. W. O. L. there have been no of- fences committed which necessitated courtmartial. MANUFACTURE OF STEEL TO BIE ILLUSTRATEIJ WITH MOVIES Motion picture exhibit on "The Manufacture of Steel Pipe from Ore to the Finished Produet," will be giv- en at 7:15 o'clock iaturday evening, Dec. 7, in the Natural Science audi- torium. The pictures will be accompanied by a lecture from the National Tube company and will be given under the auspices of the chemical engineering department here. All students inter- ested in engineering are advised to take advantage of the opportunity and attend the lecture. MIMES TO DISCUSS DATE OF 1919 MICHIGAN OPERA TODAY The Mimes of the Michigan Union will hold a meeting at 4:40 o'clock this afternoon to decide on the policy and book of the Michigan Union opera. The meeting which will be held in the old Union building will decide the fate of the opera given annually by the students of the University. The all- important question of whether the Un- iversity women will be allowed to take part in the opera will probably be de- cided at that time. DR. BARBOUR WILL SPEAK TO MEMBERS OF WESLEYAN GUILD Dr. C. A. Barbour, president of Rochester Theological Seminary, will speak at a meeting of the Wesleyan Guild next Sunday evening at thet Methodist church. Dr. Barbour's sub- ject will be "Battles After the War." The speaker is a well known Y. M. C. A. worker and is editor of "Ser- vice," the "Y" magazine. REARRANGEMENT OF FIGHT- ING FLEET EXPECTED AT ONCE EVEN CLASSMATES LOOK DOWN ON "FROSH" BREAKING RULES There is a great deal of bad feel- ing in the freshman class against those members of the class who are not living up to the traditions and customs of the University concerning freshmen. About 30 of the freshman have gotten together and have decid- ed that there is only one thing to do to make these men wear pots and conform to the other customs and that is to use force. "It looks bad for the whole class," said one "frosh," "and we are going to make every freshman wear his pot We have formed a committee of about 30 husky freshmen and we are go- ing to see that the remainder of our class lives up to the traditions of Michigan. I am sure that we are backed in this by about nine-tenth= of the freshman class and there are enough of us to see that the re- mainder does its part. "There are two freshmen around the campus today," he continued, "who were nominated for class offices and who are not wearing their pots. We are doing this as much in self protection as anything else for if some members of our class fail to do their duty it puts all of us in bad with the sophomores and only means that we will get it all the worse when the S. A. T. C. is disbanded and the sophs can haze as much as they want to without fear of arrest." Juniors will hold basketball prac- tice at 4:30 o'clock today, and seniors at 5 o'clock. Girls who have not reported for the classes in swimming are to do so at once. The Women's league will hold a cir- cus Friday evening. All sophomore girls who have not paid their f,:eshman social tax are to do so at once. They are to pay Elinor Leonard at 1520 South University ave- nue, or Dean Myra B. Jordan. A dancing party will be held by the junior girls at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon in Barbour gymnasium.

Alumni Admire New Union Building Almost all of the alumni that have recently visited the new Union build- ing have expressed approval of the building itself, but ask why it has not been finished and why the interior de- corations are latking. If more money is forthcoming it will be completed. I Himer Heath, now in charge of ther Union, says that it is perhaps fortun- ate that the building has not yet been completed because the S. A. T. C. men unconsciously ruin decorations with their heavy hobnailed shoes. ORDER THEM NOW University Girls' Glee club will meet at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in Barbour gymnasium. RETURN TO SEMESTER PLAN NOT TO CAUSE ANY CONFUSION Dean John R. Effinger anticipates no confusion as a result of the change from the term system back to thej semester plan. He says that in cours- es where the work formerly done in a semester has been so condensed as to complete it in the term, it will be left to the discretion of the instructor whether he will go on with the work or whether he will review. The mid- semesters will be optional with the instructor as usual. The regular time of two weeks will be devoted to the finals.
