"Outdoor track to be uspi. by track men."-Sport headline. The opera is not the only affair which is evidently to be for men only. The French are surprised that Wil- son can smile. But who wouldn't smile to be the lion at the world's greatest party? And even if it does get cold no one in Ann Arbor needs to suffer. Every- body can gather 'round the University coal pile. The unusually fair weather we've been having is undoubtedly due to the fact that Goodfellows are getting to- gether.

UWA flC ITflDV IIITDIIC PROCEEDS OF SALES FILL COMFORT BAGS One hundred fifty comfort bags made by members of the army of wo- men war workers of the University. are now being filled with articles pur- chased from the proceeds of the pie sales, ice cream sales, and the campus mixer. The bags will be dispatcheci Friday in order that they may reach their destination before Christmas. A letter from Capt. G. N. Lund, commanding officer of the Brooklyn naval hospital, expresing appreciation for the comfort bags was received by Florence Fields, '20, chairman of the war work committee of the Women's league. Captain Lund said in part: "We shall be most happy to receive these bags and will distribute them among the patients who within our own judg- ment are entitled to them. Please ac- cept our sincere thanks and assur- ances of appreciation of this generous and patriotic offer and all the lofty3 sentiment it contains.'

RMordepi GET A GRIP WHILE YOU'RE GONE A vacation of 17 days, one of the ngest Christmas recesses which chigan students have ever had, be- ns tomorrow night. The strain of al conditions, disorganizedI work, and uncertainty has made a good long holiday vital to the welfare of everyone In the University; faculty and students alike need it. Young minds and bodies recover vitality quickly under the influence of change and recreation such as we will all get diting the holidays 'at home, and New Year's should find most of us as right as tops and eager to come back to a Michigan which will make almost as fresh a start Jan. 7 as it ever has made in October. But recuperation in the sense of absolute respite from thought was not the only purpose for which this vaca- tion was intended and may very well be used. This is not an argument for loading up the old suit-case with text- books which will never be "cracked" from one end of vacation to the other. If you are well acquainted with your- self and are reasonably sure that you can hold to your purpose to make up some work at home, that is one thing; but, if as is most probable, you know by experience how slim the chances are of getting anything accomplished, don't try it. Just promise yourself one thing and then stick to it. Some time before coming back to Ann Arbor, take a couple of hours off to think. First consider your University life as a whole, the friends and associations you are making, the proportions of time that you are putting into work and play, the attitude you find yourself getting into toward the world in gen- eral, the ideals you have unconscious- ly been forming this fall. Try to chart the main currents which are carrying you along. Then think about your work itself, reflect on what you are getting out of the courses you are taking, what possibilities each one contains for your self-development or the attainment of your life-purpose. If these appear small, face the ques- tion as to whether the fault is yours, the instructor's, or the nature of the subject. Look at the problem of get- ting more out of your work detached- ly and as one which is perfectly solu- ble. And almost invariably it is, for honest and optimistic thought cannot help but bring clear conclusions and inspirations for action. "Getting a grip" in this way will do more toward straightening out what- ever tangles await you, than gallons of midnight oil burned while you might be enjoying the best of holiday fun. And it means a very small expenditure of time and will-power, for what more interesting subject for meditation can be conceived than self-past, present, and future? Try it and see how dif- ficulties melt and disappear before the poise which comes of knowing where you're going as well as that you're on lY U JdI UMIU1 I iey were me IeU s States Boys Working Reserve.
