KNOW YOUR UNIVERSITY There ar seven honorary societies at Michigan as follows: Michigamua, senior interclass; Griffins, alb-department, interclass; Vulcans, senior engi- neering; Druids, senior literary; Barristers, senior law; Sphinx, junior literary ; and Triangles, junior engineering. HOUSING THE STUDENT BODY Few programs 'have been more successfully car- ried out than that of the University and Michigan Union housing committees which have co-operated - in solving'the formidable housing problem that con- fronted the student body this fall. Called upon to provide accommodations for what was estimated as a twenty per cent increase in attendance, these committees went ahead efficiently and thoroughly with far-reaching lans to meet the situation. That rooms were found for all is not the only result of their efforts. They also succeeded in cur- tailing the jump in prices which occurred when it was believed that rooms would be scarce. They made the Union the central room market, to the benefit of both students and landladies, and com- pleted their work by establishing the court of ap- peal which is to consider rooming house disputes. Although the exaggerated attendance prophecies did not wholly raterialize, the committees did their part so well that there are now morethan two hun- dred rooms available for late comers. The committee of appeal- is an important devel- opment, which promises to minimize disputes be- tween students and landladies long after building conditions return to normal and rooms are plen- tiful at reasonable.prices. Breaches of contract on the part of landladies, which have caused no small. part of the indignation expressed this fall, should be almost entirely eliminated when it is realized that such contracts will be enforced. Overcharging for rooms is perhaps the most important field for rem- edy by the committee, which has a big task be- fore it. The students can co-operate at once with the housing committee by aiding in finding room-mates for men who are alone in double rooms. REGISTER FOR THE UNION Only two-thirds of the rmen in the University have so far responded to the appeal for registra- tion at the Union. Carelessness, or misunder- standing as to the value to Michigan of this regis- tration, may be the cause; but a brief consideration of the usefulness of the plan should be sufficient to ,send every man to the desk with his treasury re- ceipt. Regardless of whether or not he is a life member, the officials want each student to come in and fill out a classification card. The purpose of this registration is to provide an estimate of the amount of material obtainable upon. the campus for various enterprises, so that when a show is started or a campaign initiated, the officials will know exactly where to look for publicity agents, for managers, musicians, artists, and for the many other personnel requirements of a suc- cessful student undertaking. In choosing officers and committeemen, the registration cards are con- sulted and the selections made therefrom. Las year fifteen hundred positions were filled through these cards. Let's make them just as use- ful in 1920-I92I. THE SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT Features and photographs have become two of the most important departments of the modern newspaper. Believing that Michigan had the jour- nalistic talent to provide both, and the ability to get out a Sunday supplement along the lines of metropolitan editions, last year's Daily nianage- ment began the publishing of a special section ev- ery week devoted purely to the unusual, the instruc- tive, the interesting, and the beautiful. University art, drama, literature all had their place in the sup- plement, along with special humor sections, photo- graph layouts, authoritative "dope" stories, worth- while interviews, and special articles. The plan was a success beyond the imagination of those who inaugurated it. Other college papers, perceiving the opportunities in the supplement idea, published similar extra sections. This year The Daily hopes to make its Sunday special worthy of the publications talent of a great University, and will do its best to equal or if possible exceed the record of excellence set last year. BACK OFF! It is an obvious though none the less instructive fact that when, your face is too close to a mirror, the proper perspective is lacking. In the business of learning, the first of a new college year is an admirable time to "back off" and take a look at the advances made, get a better view of our exact destination. Few great men have become so through freaks of fortune. The vastmajority of the "go getters," of people who do big things, of the best intellects, accomplish their aims by first knowing exactly what they wish to accomplish, and then moving in a con- tinued course toward that end. A new semester offers this opportunity of a gen- eral sizing up of the situation, a mental "backing off" to obtain the proper perspective, a tightening of the mental girth, and a united physical and men- tal effort to go after and secure the end we seek. If our business be to find a vocation which fits our-makeup, we must make all plans to this end. Once the destination has been decided upon, we must see that the staunchest of educational foun- datiofns is laid, for no specifications as to the height and weight of the proposed structure which we will build are obtainable now. Back off! Let's take a good look at ourselves and our contemporaries-and then "feed her the power." Th e Tele'scope .....-, GRAHAM 1- 1 -20466.

And her words rang true For she knew he had a job. ., n Y ' In keeping with our last year's policy of being a patron of art the Telescope will from time to time give to the world the precious brain children of some of our campus artists. Accordingly we re- print below the picture which on its appearance last year took the campus by storm. "The Crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites." In this picture, as the 'reader can easily see, the sea has rolled back, the Israelites have already crossed over and the Egyptians haven't come up yet. As a second course at our intellectual feast we su bmit: "The Rise and Fall of a Freshman." (Dedicated to all freshmen who attend the Union dances) To the glittering lights of Revel, Flippant songs of praise he sang; For this gay youth had never been To the Loving Land of Whang- Where the saxophones play viciously, Yoodle high, then grunt and wheeze, Where the sensuous, love-me odor Of Djer-Kiss lades the breeze. Where no hunch-backed, pig-eyed fluke Can be such a beastly bore, But some sweet thing will answer "yes" And prance with him 'round the floor. Fate has left him, now a senior, Memories with soulful tang; For this gay youth was far too fond Of the Loving Land of Whang! Dear Noah: I intend going to the Martha Cook formal and would like to know whether it is proper to wear an overcoat over evening clothes. ANXIOUS. Sorry, but we are unable to answer this ques- tion since we have never been lucky enough to pos- sess a winter overcoat and evening clothes at one and the same time. Famous Closing Lines "Ha, a little shaver," he muttered as he gazed at the short barber. NOAH COUNT. Modern Motive Might MffOUNTAINS, miles and minutes give way before electricity, the magic mo- tive power. Properly applied, it drives giant locomotives across the continental divide, tows ocean liners through the Panama Canal, or propels huge ships. Through good light, safe signals,and illumin ated highways, it is making travel better and safer and also is increasing the usefulness of transportation methods on land, sea or in the air. In short, electricity is revolutionizing trans- portation, making it quicker, safer, more eco- nomical and reliable in all sorts of weather. And back of this developnent in electric transportation, in generating and transmit- ting apparatus as well as motive mechan- isms, are the co-ordinated scientific, engi- neering and manufacturing resources of the General Electric Company, working to the end that electricity may better serve mankind. w £ l
