Issue Editor-Ruth Dailey 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! ere is but one true answer to this )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 ability and education, ready to cope 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 d the thousands to ultimate suc- s.

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. Detroit's conductorettes are organ- izing a union. Time for the lady blacksmiths. Wonder if they'll remember to put on neckties when they get rid of their uniforms? . Many a fair damsel has already be- gun to plan that J-Hop gown. Signs of a heavy winter-those flap- py galoshes are out again., "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.

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. U Farmers & Mechanics Bank 101-105 S. Main 330 S.

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- nshrity raut (910*5 J. F.
