Sullivan TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1919. Issue Editor -Herbert Slusser FUTURISTS AND PRESENTISTS We are all ambitious. All of us have some goal which we hope to reach some day-if we didn't, life wouldn't be worth much. Some of us have greater ambitions than others. Some of us think we will be satisfied with lesser things. How many of us really take our ambitions very seriously? We have hopes of realizing them, but we think, h with a mental wave of the hand, that the future will take care of every- thing. What we should realize is that it is our daily work that makes for the fulfillment of our ambitions. The goal will not be reached by waiting for it to arrive. It is pleasant to dream of the"sweet bye and bye," but we must remember that we are in the act of shaping it day by day. It lies with us to make the dreams of the future come true. The "do it now" method is one of the best ever for realizing ambitions. Don't be a futurist. Be a presentist. STUMP SOCKS FOR MAIMED SOLDIERS One of the most pathetic sights that will greet the eye in the near future, are the returned soldiers with maim- ed or missing limbs. A movement under way to provide stump socks for the maimed soldiers should need no impetus among the women. The soldiers who are coming back imaimed, and who will be handicapped all their lives because they came to the aid of their country, should be shown every consideration that the country can offer. Some women think that since the war is ended they need not knit any longer. The need for the stump socks .has been shown to be a pressing one, and instead of relaxing their efforts, the women shonuld increase them, and make it their duty to see that every maimed soldier is provided. This is not so much to ask, considering' what the soldier has done. A "mother-may-I-go-out-to-swim" movement will be inaugurated as soon as the municipal beach is completed. After all, the delegates to the peace conference are human. Now they are, quarrelling over the coal problem. Why shouldn't the hungry Bolshe- viki look to Leon Trotzky for food. Didn't he wait table in New York? The Lemberg armist*e will be signed soon.

In fact, rules were established restricting the num- ber of attendants, and the number of tickets for each game was definitely limited. This year, it is a rare oc- currence when the four bare walls of the gym are hidden from view by spec- tators. And this in spite of the fact that the Women's Athletic association today has more names on its membet- ship roll than at any previous time in its career. Undoubtedly the demands of the war-time period had their effects here as -elsewhere. The subjugating of normal activities to knitting socks and folding compresses left little ex- cess time in University women's sched- ules for energetic support of their athletics. With the comparative cessa- tion of these demands, however, Uni- versity authorities and students are once more united in concerted effort to "normalize" the campus. At 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, there will be a basketball game be- tween the sophomore and freshman women. It will be the first game of the inter-class series. This repre- sents just one among the definite op- portunities for girls to display their interest in the University through the medium of their own activities. And support of one of their own major activities is a fair index to the ex- tent of their interest in that bigger heritage of men and women alike,- Michigan spirit. TWO STUDENTS.

WOMEN ENGINEERS AS- SERT WAR-EARNED RIGHTS London.-Women engineers, one of the discoveries of the war, have _ banded together in the Woman's En- gineering society, a trade union, which has decided upon what the women term a "forward" movement. The women, who are doing techni- cal work in government and controlled factories, as well as in privately own- ed institutions, want among other things: Admission to the Amalgamated So- ciety of Engineers, to become mem- bers of institutes of civil engineers, naval architects, iron and steel and other bodies now closed to women, to serve on the boards of universities, and to become eligible for technical branches of the higher civil service. "Women have no desire to take men's places," is the way theyput their position. "But there will be need for engineering products throughout the world, and there will be work for women as well as for men." BIG YEAR'S PROGRAM PLANNED AT MENORAH SOCIETY MEETING Unusual attendance characterized the meeting of the Michigan Menorah society, Sunday, at which Prof. I. Leo Sharfman, of the economics depart- ment, was the principal speaker. David Seligson, '19D, and Simon Shetzer, '21, were elected to the execu- tive board of the society. Plans for holding a Purim program Sunday afternoon, March 16, 1919, were entertained at the meeting and a committee consisting of Maurice Ripps, '20, chairman; Esther Robin- son, '19; Ida E. Mines, '20; Hanah Blumenthal, '20; Samuel Madison, '21; Simon Shetzer, '21, and Samuel Lam- port, '20, publicity, was appointed to arrange for the affair. Preliminary announcements are to the effect that several artists from Detroit will be invited here to sup- plement an already arranged musical program. NEW YORK BILL WOULD MAKE "PEACE DAY" STATE HOLIDAY Albany, N. Y., March 10.-A bill de- signed to make November 11 a holi- day known as "Peace Day" has been introduced in the New York state leg- islature. Another bill would authorize city and county officials to provide in 1919 for a city or county, celebration in honor of returned and returning sold- iers, sailors and marines of the World war, and to provide medals, badges and decorations for them.

Nothing tells the sto like a Picture. They make delightful souvenirs that will be cherishe long after other things are forgotten.
