Vincent mess hall: "Some Little Bug Will Get You Some Day." She Really Likes the Weather Here With a happy smile on her youthful face, her coal black eyes sparkling with the joy of being alive, her shapely head nodding blithely with every step she went across the cam- pus on the long diagonal walk. It was raining like it has been known to do here in Ann Arbor,-pitilessly, ab- solutely regardless of the guarantee that comes with our pet rain-coat, and forming the most annoying pud- dles imaginable on the walks. Other living creatures passed her by in a hurry, anxious to get in out of the wet. She was dressed in white, and wore no hat, while all who passed her were attired in the customary galoshes, and other dehydrating arti- cles of clothing. We did not dare to speak to her, for her regal manner rather led us to .believe that a very chilly reception would meet such impertinence. Be that as it may, we concluded from her general manner that she was enjoy- ing Ann Arbor's special brand of hand picked weather., But she was a duck! LIEUT. TAYLOR, EX-'18, PLANS TO RETURN NEXT SEMESTER Lieut. James M. Taylor, ex-'18, who has just received his discharge from the army, is visiting in Ann Arbor, and states that he will return to the University next semester to continue his work. Lieutenant Taylor enlist- ed in the American ambulance service some time ago, and was immediately sent to France. After six months' service there, he was given permis- sion to return to this country in or- der thatrhe mighttenter the ofcers' training school. He recently received his commission at Camp Dodge, Iowa. Urge S. A. T. C Men to Remain at Ill. University of Illinois has launched a 'Come Back" movement to bring those men in the S. A. T. C. back to Illinois next semester. Mass meetings are being held for this purpose and pamphlets, posters, and newspaper publicity assail the student-soldier at every hand. Deans of the various colleges have arranged to be on duty at specified times, when they will talk over things with any prospective or actual registrant in their colleges.

"Less Than Kin," featuring Wal- lace Reid, is to be seen at the Ma- jestic for the last time today. This is a comedy of the highest type and Mr. Reid shows up to decided advan- tage in the dual role, which he por- trays. Ann Little is his leading wom- an in this picture. Tomorrow Dorothy Dalton is to be shown in her new Paramount photo-. play produced by Thomas H. Ince, entitled "Green Eyes." The theme is jealousy which nearly wrecks the lives of a man and a woman. Among the cast who appear in Miss Dalton's support is Jack Holt. A Sunshine comedy, "Who's Your Father?" and a Universal weekly are included on the same program.

Issue Editor-Philip Ringer THE R. O. T. C. QUESTION "Are you in favor of an R. o. T. C. at Michigan?" we asked the junior who Is waiting to be mustered out of the student army. "Yes," he answered, "for the other fellow." Then he outlined all the good rea- sons why there should be an R. 0. T. C. at Michigan: other universities have them and Michigan should not be behind; there may some time be an- other war and Michigan should be prepared; college students need phy- sical exercise and don't take it of their own accord; the discipline develops character; a system making the drill uompuisory and withholding semester credit until it was completed satis- factorily would avert a failure such as the corps was here last year. All these reasons and more why the next generation of students should drill were on his tongue's end, but as for himself, "Well, this army stuff makes me antagonistic," he confessed. This is the situation at Michigan, even among the men who theoretically believe in military training and lots of it. And there are vast numbers of those whose convictions as well as feelings cause them to want prepara- tion for peace instead of for war. If war ever comes again, Michigan will be as quick to respond, as loyal to serve, as eager to do her full part and more, as she has been in this war. There has been no dearth of brave and effective sons of Michigan in the trenches, on the seas, and in the air, Sspite of the fact that Michigan men did nt spend their energies on squads right during the years preceding the war. And there never will be. And now all the strength of the student body needs to be turned to the tasks of reconstruction and citizen- ship. Michigan will not be behind other universities if she does not di- veort some of her vitality to military preparation as they are planning to do; she will be ahead. 'Militarism even in mild forms is going out of date. Minds must be developed as well as bodies, cultural as well as practical truths must be learned, and the present eagerness to get out of the army and back into civilian life and the "good old days" is an evidence that the student body realizes the call of the times and will only be hamper- ed by 'military training. Michigan men, consciously or unconsciously, want to prepare for peace. ' It needn't surprise anyone if Colonel Roosevelt should turn out to be quite a writer. The Inlander, student lit- erary publication at Ann Arbor, has accepted a short contribution of his for the Christmas number.-Wolver- ines. If the hop is postponed until after the second semester begins, those blue book blues will reign supreme after Christmas vacation. The fighting S. A. T. C. lads all got shot in the arm in the last battle at the health service anyway. AT THE ARCADE 0 As Matilda Landers in "Good Night Paul," Constance Talmadge adds to another of her now famous character- izations of screen heroines. She bub- bles over with infectious enthusiasm, independence, charm, and youthful- ness. This star is rapidly making a type of' these comedy dramas, with humor predominating. There are plenty of laughs heightened, now and then, by a moment of suspense or a thrilling situation. Plan Peace Problem Oourse at Iowa During the next two terms the de- partments of history and economics, sociology and commerce at the Uni- versity of Iowa will offer jointly a two hour course in problems of peace and reconstruction.
