A WORD TO THE UNWISE
ile the present militarization of
University has wrought havoc

?v of the old creeds to which we
adhere. One of these doctrines
h should be fostered and kept
is that one which requires fresh-
arriving in Ann Arbor to cast
all preparatory and high school

is no hardship for the freshman
out of the S. A. T. C. to forego
rearing of high school fraternity
preparatory school sweaters, and
relics of puerile days. It is
r a privilege for them to re-
ce the old allegiance and accept
rniversity as their Alma Mater.
former years all freshmen have
their class "pots"-a bit of head-
by no means ornamental. This-
because of the large percentage
*t-year men in the S. A. T. C.,

shmen not in the S. A. T. C. and
hers of that organization when
ity should be respectful towards1
clasemen. To this end a care-1
erusal of the Michigan handbook
shed gratis by the "Y" would be
towards a number of campus institu-
tions. This view is entirely false. It
is their privilege to help keep up these
institutions while the men formerly
Identified with student activities are
serving the common cause.
I-
The freshmen of today do not have
the good fortune to come into contact
with the very essence of Michigan-
the Michigan of ante-bellum days;
but they can minimize their loss by
imbibing to the greatest possible ex-
tent of Michigan spirit as it now ex-
ists. To this end every freshman
should contribute to the upholding of
all worth-while traditions. It is not
for the personal satisfaction of up-
perclassmen that they are asked to do
this, but for their own sakes and
above all-for the good of Michigan.
REGARDING CO-OPERATION
Instructors holding classes which
are to be dismissed at 11:30 and 2:30
o'clock can co-operate effectively with
the military authorities and with their
students by releasing the men a few
minutes before the half-hour. It takes
some time for the men to go from
the classroom to the place of forma-
tion, and if they are late in falling in
they are liable to punishment.
Members of the S. A. T. C. will ap-
preciate the thoughtfulness of instruc-
tors who give them ample time to
reach their formation before "Atten-
tion" is called, and there will be a
greater esprit de corps between in-
structors,and students.
Turkey has been at war except dur-
ing short intervals since 1909. She
is now beaten for the fourth time and
still doesn't quit. She must be trying
for an endurance record.
Our soldiers in France are evening
up the deaths from influenza in the
cantonments by working overtime to
kill extra Germans.
Sacrificing of luxuries now to buy
Liberty bonds will save us from sac-
rificing liberties later.
If the football team is short of

REGISTRAR HALL CHOSEN HEAD
OF CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION
Registrar Arthur G. Hall was elect-
ed president of the local board of ed-
ucation Wednesday night. The res-
ignation of Mr. D. W. Springer as
president and member of the board
was accepted.
D. W. Springer has been in army Y.
M. C. A. service for some time, and he
has been appointed divisional educa-
tional director for the "Y." His terri-
tory extends from North Dakota to
Kentucky and from Colorado to West
Virginia. He will devote his time ex-
clusively to that work from now on.
A week ago he was elected president
of the board of education for the com-
ing year and his resignation was un-
expected.
RED CROSS DOES BIG AMOUNT
OF WORK DURING MONTH
Dramatic Clubs
Hard Hit 21y War
Dramatic, at Michigan this year
will probably be almost entirely neg-
lected. With the large proportion of
men on the campus in the S. A. T. C.,
the burden of production would neces-
sarily be on the girls and such talent-
ed young men as are not in other
service. It is early in the year for a
definite report but the outlook just
now is not bright.
A dramatic association, formed dur-
ing the summer months, which was to
include all the organizations on the
campus under a common executive
head, is now faced with inactivity and
must wait on the phrase, "after the
war." This co-operative dramatic as-
sociation was to have its ultimate goal
in the establishment of a University
theater, possibly taking over the Ma-
jestic. It was to have costumes in
common ownership, tickets issued at
a central office, and otherwise sup-
port and bring together the weaker
and stronger organizations for their
mutual benefit. . It is hoped that this
good purpose will not be overlooked
under the stress of the present year.
MECHANICS CALL
OFF ACTIVITIES
Social acivities for the four com-
panies of Section B, S. A. T. C., have
ben called off, according to informa-
tion given out yesterday afternoon.
The reason for the cancelling of the
social functions is due to the Span-
ish influenza quarantine.
Althonugh the meibers of the train-
ing detachment have been released
from quarantine, there is so little time
left before their departure from the
city that nothing can be given or
planned.
Members of first company were to
hold. a dance at the Armory tomorro
night for the purpose of disposing of
the company fund. Each of the three
remaining companies were to have a
affair of some variety for the same
purpose.
The floor which caved in at Wat-
erman gymnasium Sunday night has
been repaired. Cots have been placed
on the new floor, and the men are
now assigned to their former bunks.
PROF. W. H. HOBBS ADVOCATES .
GT. BRITAIN'S SEA SUPREMACY
Prof. W. H. Hoobs' lecture, "The
Freedom of the Seas Alike in Peace
and in War," was given at 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the auditorium
of the Natural Science building. The
lecture, the second of the series, was
based on the second of President Wil-
son's peace articles, issued Jan. 8,
1918. Professor Hobbs regards Pres-
ident Wilson's recent peace note as the
second step toward compromise peace.
The first step, he asserts, was taken
when the 14 peace articles were is-
sued.
In his lecture, Professor Hobbs enu-
merated the advantages to other na-
tions resulting from Great Britain's
supremacy on the sea. For the last
half century, merchantment have been
protected, no impressment of sailors
has been allowed, the slave trade has
been stopped, and commerce has been
uninterrupted. During the war the
coasts of France have been protected
and Germany has been driven from the
sea .by the British fleet. Moreover,
by means of the blockade accomplish-
ed by British fleets, Germany's morale
has been so lowered that her resist-
ance to the Allies' advance has been
unsuccessful.
For these reasons, Professor Hobbs
is convinced, that to maintain the doc-
trine of freedom of the seas, alike in
peace and in war would be to play di-
rectly into Germany's hands, and that'
it should be thrown into the scrap
heap with its twin, "Peace Without
Victory."
NURSE DIES OF INFLUENZA
CONTRACTED FROM PATIENTS
Sister Mary Ligouri, age 24, died
from pneumonia at 4:30 o'clock yes-.
terday afternoon at the St. Joseph's
hospital. Several days ago she be-
came a victim of the Spanish influenza
and her case immediately developed
into pneumonia. Sister Mary Ligouri
came to the University from the Moth-
er House, Dubuque, Iowa, last sum-
mer, and intended to take up the study
of pharmacy. But when the influenza
epidemic spread to Ann Arbor and the
hospitals appealed for help, she im-
mediately sacrificed her work in the
University to nurse those stricken
with the disease.

BELGIAN RELIEF GATHERING
CLOTHING FOR DESTITUTES
The Belgian Relief headquarters in
the Cornwall block at the corner of
Huron street and Fourth avenue has
succeeded in collecting and packing
more than two tons of clothes. These
will be sent to Newark, N. J. Most
of these clothes have been donated by
the residents of Ann Arbor. The stu-
dents have done little so far, but still
have an opportunity. Mrs. G. W. Pat-
terson is at the headquarters from 10
o'clock until 4 in the afternoon. If
clothes cannot be delivered, Mrs. Pat-
terson, phone number 2214, will send
someone to call for them.
A special appeal is being made to
students at this time because many
of the men are discarding their ci-
vilian clothes for uniforms. President
Harry Hutchins, having received an
appeal from the Belgian Relief com-
mission, has made a strong appeal to
the S. A .T. C. men as well as others
to send their clothes to Newark. The
army men as a whole are expected to
comply. The local relief headquar-
ters offer their assistance in sending
the clothes, thus - facilitating ship-
ment. Mrs. Patterson desires that
students be as prompt in this matter
