A WORD TO THE UNWISE ile the present militarization of University has wrought havoc form and tradition, there are yet ?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 nla. 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., s become evident that the wear- f the freshman "pot" is impracti-+ nd the men of 1922 have there-; been released from the duty of ;ing the official headdress. 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 material, why not call out the women? It is done these days. 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 Wah r' s TEXT BOOKS and ENGINEERS' SUPPLIES Military Books for the S. A. T. C. Main St. WAHR'S State St. p.'
