CHOOSE THE DAILY
LUke the opening weeks of college,
is period of demobilization and re-
justnment is a time when men are
oking about them to decide what
te ishrto make their principal "out-
le41i0trest." That every man needs
e 1s a campus axiom and this year
s is given an unusual opportunity for
olce. He has had more than two
ouths in which to get acclimated,
gather information conc'erning the
Iious activities in which he may
ke part, and to measure his own
Alitiesby University instead of high
hxioI standards.
I choosing the interest which he
ilies to make his, a man should look
r at least three prime qualities: ser-
ce to the University, self-develop-
ont, and recreation. If there is any
LO organization which embodies all
8se in a high degree it is The Mich-
an Daily. Perhaps no other student
rce is so strong, so full of potential-
es of influence. Service to the Uni-
irity is its policy and watchword
Ld its opportunities in this direction
'e practically limitless. In becoming
member of its working force, the
udent at once feels a sense of power
!d responsibility. Nothing goes in-
.the paper Aso insignificant that it
es not affectsomebody, and almost
M',;y-cub's -days work contains
",thing which goes into the making
*ctmpus public opinion. The sense
service is probably the greatest fac-
r in building up what we call Daily
yalty.
The Daily is a little school in itself.
t it is more than a school in that
not only teaches, but demands that
,.ryone give of himself, time, energy,
ey matter, to the accomplishment of
lily tasks. It teaches him the rudi-
ily tasks. It teaches him the
Idlimneits of journalism or business
alinstration, but at the" same

me every day's lessons are
eing put into action. The stu-
snt who comes to The Daily a
reen and diffident youngster, can rise
a year or less to the position of is-
je editor, in which he finds himself
* judge of a day's grist of news, a
itic of the work of other less ex-
wienced reporters, responsible for
te considerable undertaking that The
ally shall appear in the morning,
%ptain of a staff of half a dozen work-
. In such a position self-reliance,f
iws judgment, executive ability, and
e capacity for taking pains are in-
ritably developed to a high degree, if
e material is in the man to produce
em. Or or the business sta, he learns
to art of meeting business men and
r serving them, of making friends
id backers of his publication, of care-
i management, business-like meth-
Is, and of working and showing oth-
' men how to work with initiative
big things and care in small. The
aily can make men and women out of
Sys and girls faster and more surely
an any other activity.
An outside interest should always
ovide fun and good fellowship for it
certain to take up time needed for
kvarial and nervous recreation. No

doubt that the congenial, more or less
happy-go-lucky, wide-awake crowd
which works there is havring a good
time, in fact the time of its life. A
common interest and a mutual respect
for each other's ability is the basis of
one of the strongest ties of friendship
which the University affords. Newspa-
per people are always loyal to each
other and The Daily is no exception.
Hard but never monotonous work with
lots of laughter in the chinks is the
secret of the fascination that The
Daily office has for the people who
have once known it. The Daily is the
place to serve and grow and make
your best friends of men and women
who are serving and growing. And
perhaps the last is the best reason
of all for choosing The Michigan
Daily as an outside activity.
COMMUNICATIONS
It seems strange that every year it
is necessary to call attention to The
Daily's regulations in regard to com-
munications. The rules appear at the
top of the editorial column and prac-
tically every one of them is violated
almost daily in one or more commun-
ications which come to the editor's
desk. A deluge of unsigned communi-
cations has fallen the past few days,
particularly from men who have some
grudge against the ilitary authori-
ties or military life in general. The
fact thatltheyrare unsigned, of course,
dooms them to the wastebasket, but it
might also be Afoticed that when the
military regime is passing in such a
short time, complaints, for instance,
that $30 a month is too little pay, have
small interest; for the majority of
Daily readers and are out of place
at this time. Another cause for the
chilly reception of some manuscripts
is the fact that they deal with some
small matter of University manage-
ment which should be taken directly
to the authorities There is no need
for 500 words in The Daily when a
dozen to a janitor or at most a call
to the secretary's office will'adjust the
complaint. Length is another fault
of some communications. The Daily

does not have space to burn and every
night news is left out of the paper.
Under such conditions it is necessary
to judge the value of the communica-
tion by its universality and pith. It
might be well too to drop a nint to
freshmen and some others that when
the spirit moves them to produce the
sublime or the ridiculous in poetry,
our brother publications, the Inlander
and the Gargoyle, are more interest-
ed than we.
On the other hand, The Daily wish-
es by no means to discourage the
habit of communication in the student
body. It is the surest sign of live in-
terest, not only in the paper, but also
in the events and problems of the
campus. Any man or woman who has.
something to say to the campus
which the latter might be reasonably
expected to be anxious or interested
to hear, and who will give his name to
the editor as an evidence of good faith,
although it is not necessary that it
should appear in the paper, may be
certain that his efforts will be well-
ieived. The Daily is and should be
the true campus forum, the threshing--
floor for student opinion. Strong and
well-worked-out ideas on any and all
phases of University life find their
rightful place in the columns of the
University newspaper. But The Daily
is not the place for private grudges,
"pet peeves," endless dissertation, or
bad doggerel.
Women's house rules are no longer
the arbiters of fate. The S. A. T. C.
man who was told Friday night that he
must go as it was 10:30 o'clock re-
marked with unction, "Yes, indeed."
There ought to be little trouble get-
ting the upperclassmen registered
with ease, accuracy and rapidity next
fall. They're having plenty of prac-
tice this year.
If the meter system is installed in
Ann Arbor the sorority phone will
presumably buzz less frequently. Which
will be hard on the other girls.

PHILLIP GAUSS DIES; VICTIM
OF AUTO DELIVERY ACCIDENT
Phillip Gauss, 70 years of age, who
lived at 217 South Seventh street,
died at St. Joseph's hospital at 10:50
o'clock Friday night of injuries receiv-
ed when knocked down by a delivery
truck.
Mr. Gauss sustained a fractured
skull and a broken leg and possible
internal injuries. He left the Michigan
Furniture company, where he was em-
ployed at about 5:30 o'clock at night,
and was on his way home when the
accident happened. Eye witnesses
state that he had started west on Lib-
erty street on the north side of the
street, but at the scorner of Fourth
and Liberty streets he crossed to the
south side of the street.
