Already the fact that only lout five hundred women have reg- tered in Detroit is being cited as .gnificant. All eyes are on the new pters and the indifference so confid- atly expected by mild anti-suffragists rid hoped for by violent ones seems to e holding, full sway. Comparatively few University stu- ants can vote. Age and citizenship a other states are the two chief bar- ers. But those, both men and wom- a, who have reached their majority ad who can possibly get to their ames, should feel their responsibility ad not allow carelessness or procras- nation to deprive themn of their priv- eges. Registration for the primaries ust be made before Feb. 11 and for te election before March 5. If you >end this winter in the expectoation voting in the spring, you will grow irprisingly intelligent concerning: io issues involved, and you will de- elop a sense of citizenship without hich no person, however loaded with agrees, is fully educated. TO THE THOUGHTLESS In spite of war an unusual amount building has been going forward on id about the campus this year and te natural consequence is that "the Impus beautiful" is a merry quip in- ead of the ideal it should be. The amense amount of labor and its at- ndant disorder, necessary in the ilding of the new Library at the art of the campus, have given the hole exterior of the University an air incompleteness and confusion. The mporary buildings put up to meet ie war needs may have added great- to the efficiency of war-time Mich- an, but they cannot be said to in- mease ,the picturesqueness or respose t the campus in days of peace. Per- tps these outward disarrangements ere not inappropriate to the days of renuous effort and mushroom change .rough which we have passed, but e are now entering upon an era of ower, more natural, growth and as >on as possible the physical as well the spiritual scars of war should sal. The fact that much confusion and isightliness have been unavoidable as had a tendency to make students tireless. Since the ground about the ibrary has been a mass of heaped ibbish and material, the habit of cut- ng through it has done no particular Irm, but there are other parts .of the tmpus where the extension of this abit is ruining the sod with irregular ad unnecessary paths. Heels sharp id otherwise are getting a vast deal damage done in this warm weather hen there would be a January thaw there were anything to thaw. ,An- hr evidence ofrheedlessness is con ained in a report from the magazine "MOVIES" WILLIAM FARNUM First Methodist Church SATURDAY, 7:15 p. m. Students Welcome dents. Small outrages of this sort show a spirit which should be below the level of the University man or woman. During the war it was America first, so much so that the lesser rights of the University were gladly neglected. But there need be no slacking of pa- triotic or world interest, because we once more strive our utmost to make the University and its surroundings what they should-be. Wilson says he intends to find out the truth about Russia. At which the geintleman who looked for the well- known sewing implement in a hay- stack grows green.. The S. A. T. C. didn't get a chance to learn the smell of powder during its eventful career, but then m'st of the members were acquainted with it. The apparently innocent habit of marginal notes should be avoided. The one-kaiser may be convicted on the evidence of his. Exams begin Feb. 3. Happy ground- hog day! Y. M. C. A.

That cold wave brought thousands of lower Michigan people keen suffering be- cause of the coal shortage. This year there is no fuel shortage and so far a fairly mild winter has helped great- lv tn cnnsArve nai.here and elsewhere News! Here's Tip For The Tipplers The county jail has entered upon a period of renaissance and reforma- tion. This bald statement may seem as improbable as the presence of elec- tric fans at the North pole, but it is, nevertheless, a true and trustworthy statement, made by an impartial ob- server after careful inspection of that institution from the correct stand- point with respect to the bars. Indeed, so great is the change in the formerly much respected and highly avoided county cooler, that the forthcoming revelations in this article may divert many customers from the local polic channels, and cause a shifting of the crime center from Ann Arbor to the surrounding country, where the sheriff and his deputies convey the wayward ones to the very acceptable quarters on Ann St., W. But to business. The happy guest In the Washtenaw county grilled reception rooms fares on the following menu: stew or po- tatoes and meat, rice, vegetables, bread, and coffee au matin, tea a la unit. Nay, more: he is forced to suf- fer neither the bovine sameness of butter, nor the beety grind of com- I mon sugar: in place of ,both he is pro- vided with a delicious novelty in the form of a high concentrationof pure molasses. The reception room, lobby, or ro- tunda has suffered, or rather gain- ed, a quite marvelous transforma- tion. There is steam heat of the high- est quality, unimpeachable electric light, businesslike calendar instead of struggle-on-the-cliff lithograph, un- carved desk with blotter, and a pleas- ant deputy, telephone for convenience of importunate seekers of bond and bail, excellent oak chairs for the escorted customers. The only un- pleasant fixtures are the keys to the bedrooms, carried to your door with a personal serviceunequaled at the Ritz. They. are sizable keys, well suited to billy duty if need be. The sheriff has a very definite pro- gram: "Strict enforcement of the law and economical, adinistration for the benefit of the county." Twelve guests, secured at no end of pains, are now enjoying the facilities as a result of stretching out that epochal date, May 1, 1918, and finding that it snapped. NOTED PREACHER TO LECTURE AT FIRfT METHODIST CHURICH Dr. Lynn H. Hough, a noted college preacher and professor in the Gar- rett Biblical institute at Evanston, Ill., will speak at the next Wesleyan Guild lecture to be held Jan. 26, in the First Methodist church.

ROADS IN COUNTY BEING IMPROVED The travelling of Packard street for four and a half miles between this city and Ypsilanti which was completed recently finished the second improved road between the two cities. Two and a half miles af asphalt pavement will be built shortly outside of the city Huron avenue. The county road commissioners built 19 miles of gravel roads and'five miles of pavement during the year of 1918. Many stretches of road are to be built next year including a two mile stretch from Whitmore Lake south to- ward this city. This improvement will complete an excellent drive between this city and the lake. Roads built in the county during last year cost $190,000 of the county good roads fund, while $65,000 of state award money was also used. ARCHITECTURAL CLASS GOES TO HEAR LECTURE IN DETROIT Arrangements are being made by the Ann Arbor Art association to bring the exhibition of French cathe- dral pictures which are on display at the Detroit Art Museum to Ann Arbor.
