Any new idea should be granted

A CHANCE FOR FAME
There are few people who haven't
read with wriggly joy humorous and
philosophic paragraphs and bits of
verse in the column of B. L. T. in the
Chicago Tribue, and of F. P. A. in the
New York Tribune. Those men draw
big salaries and are nationally known,
but only by their initials. Nearer
home we have C. C. B., C. T. S., and R.
F. H., with city or state reputations.
Ring Lardner, a Michigan student,
first got recognition by contributing
to some of those columns. The his-
tory of literature is full of men who
are known only by pen names. Rec-
ognition of one's mental personality
is constantly being obtained by those
who contribute to newspaper humor-
ous columns signing only their in-
itials or pen names.
All of which is merely introductory
to the general remark that The Mich-
igan Daily is running a column called
"A Pied Galley," and that the con-
ductor of this column intends to make
it compare favorably with the columns
mentoined in the opening paragraph.
The conductor makes that little re-
mark with due knowledge that it is
modest; he knows that he is a mighty
good judge of jeux d'esprit; he ap-
peals to faculty members to contribute
whimsicalities ofscience, philosophy,
literature or 'students' mistakes and
struggles; he appeals to students to
send in their jeune and sometimes je-
'une views of life; he appeals to the
world in general to communicate with
him concerning its little notions that
bring smiles of sophisticated appre-
ciation to the cultured reader--that is,
cui+ured according to University
lards. The interchange of some-
kindly, sometimes mordant, but
mellow reflections that this
hopes to run will be a real
l to its readers and contribut-
o. i distinctly worth while.

A grateful acknowledgment of the'
comfort bags'dispatched Dec. 29 to the
United States naval hospital, Brook-
lyn, N. Y., has been received by Flor-
ence Field, '20, chairman of the War
Work committee of the Women's
league.
The comfort bags, 144 in number,
contained everything to make a sol-
dier's Christmas happy, from a Gar-
goyle down to chewing gum. Writing
paper, candy, playing cards, peanuts,
pencils, books, cold cream, life savers,
and cigarettes, all were contained in
these kits. In addition to these art-
icles, each bag contained a form letter
sending Christmas wishes and expres-
sions of good will from the women of
Michigan to the sick and wounded
soldiers.
The letter from Capt. G. A. Lung,
commanding officer of the naval hos-
pital, showed appreciation of the,
thoughtfulness and attention that
prompted the sending of the kits. In
addition to the acknowledgment from
the commanding officer of the hospital,
personal letters of thanks have been
received from the 'patients themselves.,

,{RESHMEN AND MARTHA COOK
Martha Cook building, one of tht
most beautiful of American college
buildings and probably the finest hall
of residence for women anywher, isa
to become a dormitory for upperclassi
women only, chosen on a basis of
scholarship and campus activity.
While the reasons for adopting this
radical policy are evident and sin-
cere, and certain benefits will accrue
from it, the announced purpose of the
donors of the building, "the greatest
gdod to the greatest number of col-
lege girls," will be ill-served It is
said that freshman girls who have
lived at Martha Cook have for the
most part joined sororities immedi-
,tely, that their social responsibility
and training has thus been doubled
while other girls went without, and
that the transientanature of these
underclass- girls has resulted in -a
hotel-dweller's attitude toward the
house and its other inmates. But the
entire elimination of freshman girls
is not the solution of this question.
A girl needs the dormitory more
during her first year than she ever
will .again. She needs the lessons of
restraint,regard for the comfort of
others, ideals of womanliness .and de-
mocracy which come from living ina
big, diversified, and closely regulated
community. She does not yet know
her Michigan, and the dorm is the
quickest and surest place to learn
the rudiments of it and to get her
balance.
But during the later years of col-
legt life she should have developed to
the point where freedom and self-ex-
pression are desirable, natural and
entirely safe. In other words, your
jutmior and senior girl should be a
woman, in every sense, not only ca
pable of taking care of herself and
directing her own life, but impelled
to' do so by her own unfolding idi-n
viduality. She has her foundation of
community responsibility; upon it she
should now have the opportunity to
build the structure of differentiated
personality. Dormitory life gives
ability to live with other people, but
complete development requires doing
and thinking by and for one's self.
The proposed system would reverse
the order of this growth, thrusting
freshman girls out to battle with the
unknown conditions of University life
and meet them as best they may;
confining mature girls by the ines-
capable bonds imposed by the'mere
fact of having more than a hundred
house-mates.
If the freshmen at Martha Cook
have joined sororities in such over-
whelming numbers, some system
should be devised to secure more rep-
resentative groups of girls as they.
come from the boarding and high
schools. That some of them after-
ward join sororities is not to be de-
plored; the mixture of sorority and
independent girls in the dormitories
hsbeen one of the strongest factors
in thegrowth of democracy among
Mlchigan women. The segregation

NEW COMP(
TON
COURSE SC .VULED
Assistant Prof. Roy W. Cowden
will give a course in Junior compo-
sition the second semester which is not
scheduled in the University Announce-
ment. The course is intended to give
training in the writing and revision
of compositions.
The student will be expected to
submit five or six manuscripts dur-
ing the semester. These manuscripts
are to be carefully revised, the work
of revision continuing until the stu-
dent has made his composition as
nearly perfect as his talents permit.
The course should be elected as
Rhetoric 18. The class will meet
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 o'clock
in room 105, West hall. The course
will be open only to juniors who have
had Rhetoric 3 and 4 and is limited
to 20 students. All those wishing to
take this course should consult with
the instructor before making their
election.
BOARD OF EDUCATION PLANS
TO OFFER NEW VOTING PLACES
Plans were discussed at the meet-
ing of the board of education Wed-
nesday night for the probable use of
school buildings As voting precincts.
'Additional voting places are needed
due to the fact that the present pro-
cincts will have to be divided on ac-
count of the new women voters, which
will enlarge the number of voters in
each ward. If the plans are accept-
ed by the city council, school build-
ings may be used as polls in the sec-
ond, fifth, sixth, and seventh wards.
