KNOW YOUR DUTY
Pvery man, soldier, sailor, or stu-
lt; has again to face a new problem,
problem as big and of as much im-
rtance as that which came before
n when we entered the war. He de-
ed then whether his duty lay at
me or at the -front. Now he must
elde whether his Vduty is to educate
mself or return to the plow or shop!

)blem. Stay at the: University.
Leave college now, and you are a
serter. Your country needs you, not
a soldier or sailor, but as a man

th the questions of reconstruction
ich are all-embracing. Reconstrue-
u now is as important as was the
ging of war a month ago. And it is
college-trained man who must

rived from years on the campus. The.
freshmen are doing their best, and their
best, in many cases, compares favor-
ably with the work done by the former
leaders.
The upperclassmen will be welcomed
back into all activities, but the frosh will
not be forgotten. They have proven
themselves to be worthy of the name
of Michigan men by giving their best to
Michigan's affairs. They have kept
plugging, even in the face of mnany
disadvantages, and they have succeeded
in keeping University life from declin-
ing altogether. There will still be
plenty of work for them to do. Men
discharged from the army or navy will
be busy making up academic work they'
have missed. They will be in activities
to a certain extent, but the brunt of the
work will fall upon freshmen. The time
for renewed co-operation has arrived,
and all classes will fall in line, senior,
junior, sophomore, and freshman. We
are all for Michigan.

"FRESH TO THE FRONT"
SENIOR ENDORSES ACTION
FRESHMEN CLASS IN EN-
FORCING TRADITION
OF
Editor, Michigan Daily:-
As a member of the senior class, I
cannot too heartily endorse the recent
action of the freshmen to enforce the
old tradition of wearing the fresh
pots ,and I believe I voice the atti-
tude of the campus in general. We
have witnessed with dismay the seem-
ing indifference of the freshman class'
In upholding Michigan's customs and
it is high time they came across with
their share of campus spirit. They
have been unusually fortunate this
year in being able to hide their ver-'
dancy under an army hat, or, if a'
civilian student, by ignoring the cus-
tom altogether because there was not,
opportunity for a highly organized
class to enforce it.
From now on, we expect the fresh-
man class to exert themselves doubly
to make up for the time lost, and al-
though we do not encourage them to
make themselves obnoxious even that
would be preferable to a dormant at-
titude. This campus has always stood
for certain traditions, and the fresh-
man class is the first one to perpetu-
ate them from year to year. We trust'
the freshmen will not have to intro-
duce a system of hazing among their
number to make the unobliging mem-
bers wear their caps, but there are
always a few who prefer to furnish
amusement to the sophomores and
public rather than comply with this
time-honored custom. The watering
tank, the North University hydrant,
the egg shampoo, the muddy pavement
of State street is awaiting these slack-
ers.
.I
whether they have taken it because
of slass spirit or as a measure of pre-
paredness, and I am only one of
many who are. watching with inter-
est this class of 1922. Go to it,
frosh. You can show up the whole r
campus if you will, and start the ball
rolling by wearing your pots or toques
until time to throw them in the bas-
ket for the Belgian babies.

The following casualties are report-

American Expeditionary Forces: Kill-

died of accident and other causes, 5;
died of airplane accident, 3; died of
disease, 186; wounded severely, 78;
wounded, degree undetermined, 89;
wounded slightly, 146; missing in ac-.
tion, 117. Total, 870.
Private Alfred Knapp of 612 Felch
street, Ann Arbor, was wounded
slightly.
Washington, Dec. 5.-A hint of adop-
tion of universal training, at least until
world peace is secured, is contained in
Secretary of War Baker's annual report,
although definite recommendations for
Alnerica's future military plans were
omitted. Secretary Baker stated that
the military needs of America cannot
be fixed accurately until the coming
peace conference shall have established
international relations for the world.
Today's report states that the war de
partment's recent recommendation to
congress for ' appropriations sufficient
to maintain a regular standing army of
500,000 men is just a temporary plan.
Allen O. Beach, ex-'19E, now second
lieutenant, is attached to the staff of
the 142nd field artillery in France. '
Beach entered an officers' - training
school at Camp Custer last year with
several other Michigan men.

ALL FOR MICHIGAN
The decision of the committee on elig-
ibility to allow freshmen to continue
work in activities the remainder of the
semester is worthy of the University
whose committee so acted. It is vital
to all activities on the campus that
freshmen be allowed to continue the
work they have begun, and it should not
be the policy of anyone to forget then
after. the upperclassmen return to active
University life. True, the older men are
probably better fitted to carry on the
work, but that capability has? been de-
