GIVE THEM A CHRISTMAS Time is rapidly bringing Christmas 'round, and we are beginning to feel the old spirit again. There are plans to be made for the usual holiday festivi- ties, including parties, and dinners, and balls; there are =gifts to be bought and cards to be sent; there are thousands of things to be thought of, and other people to be considered. Christmas should do just this - make us think about other people, and forget ourselves. And the annual call to give the children of the hospitals and the poor children of the city a real, honest-to-good- ness Christmas should meet a responsive chord in us somewhere. Connect your own remembrances of the Christmases you used to have when you were youngsters with the poor children and the sick ones in the hospitals, and join in with the S. C. A. in ne aking them happy. There is to be a ,Christmas pa.rty for these chil- dren, with funny skits, and ice cream, and every- thing. There are to be toys and good things to eat for everyone and warm clothes for those that need them. Actually this sort of charity is going to be human - warm and cheerful and full of fun, not cold and impersonal like much philanthropy is. It's up to you whether they are to have it or not. They need it, THE HOTEL SHORTAGE Ann- Arbor is probably more peculiarly situated than most cities in that she is forever being flooded, for only a day or so at a time, with visitors by the thousands. Football games, the May Festival, Com- mencement and similar occasions bring alumni and friends and relatives of students back to the- town in droves. Ann Arbor is unfortunately lacking in means of providing for the visits of these visitors, however. The Michigan Union cares for a small number. Fra- ternity houses care for still more perhaps. But the rest must find accommodations where they can, and generally the supply of rooms available is anything but adequate. Many are taken care of by regular landladies or by private families; but the local ho- tels offer little or no means of housing the visiting throngs. Someday, something will have to be done here in preparation for the periodical inpouring of Michi- gan's thousands from outside. As our stadium is gradually increased in size, as our May Festival continues to grow in popularity, and as the number of students goes constantly upward, the numbers attendant upon the big features of Michigan's school year are going to present an ever-growing problem to the city. Moreover, if the rate of municipal growth does not rise in proportion to that of the University. more and more of the city's rooms con- stantly will be demanded by the students themselves, and a continually smaller number will be available each year for the accommodation of outsiders. Ann Arbor needs hotels, and she needs them badly. It ought to be worth the while of any pri- vate individual to purchase sufficient building space and to erect an additional hotel in this town. Not only do we have thousands ever coming to the Uni- versity for a few days at a time, but a great num- ber also are continually passing through the city, going in all directions. Ann Arbor is well located for business purposes - and Detroit is particularly deficient in the hotel line just at present. If no private individuals see fit to attempt the es- tablishment here of one or more hotels, it is not inconceivable that the University might begin and conduct the scheme on a paying basis. The Union is one step. But we certainly need more rooms by far-than the Union can furnish and certain other colleges have made the scheme pay. If we let things go on as they are what are we going to do with our guests ten years from now? BUY THAT TICKET "Come early and avoid the rush" is the call sent out by the local railroad officials to those who will be leaving Ann Arbor for the Christmas holidays. The President has received a communication from the agent of the Michigan Central Railroad asking that publicity be given this matter, and in order to relieve congestion at the ticket office and baggage room and enable the railroad to give better service to students, everyone should endeavor to buy his ticket early and attend to his baggage as soon as possible. There is always an unusually large num- ber leaving at vacation time and if every one helps to relieve the holiday rush there should be no trou- ble whatever when the last day comes around in getting satisfactory service from the carriers. Buy that ticket and get you resevation now. COMPETITION IN JOURNALISM The function of a newspaper is to serve the pub- lic with all the news that is fit to print. It is often difficult, however, for any certain newspaper to convince the people that it is the best fitted to serve the public. So it is that at present we find the Amer- ican press engaged in a lively battle for supremacy, with competition as the driving force. Some pa- pers, in their efforts to gain the subscriptions of the public, have resorted to schemes to gain this end, these schemes being camouflaged as literary contests or something similar, the real aim being to increase circulation through lotteries or some other device for giving away cash prizes. Postmaster Hays has seen through all this, how- ever, and after considering the matter from the standpoint of the reader and the publisher, decided that these devices were merely being used to dupe the unsuspecting public to build up circulation. Mr. Hays' action of last week in ordering all newspa- pers conducting such contests to immediately dis- continue them seems to have brought results. All the papers to whom he has sent these directions have replied that they would comply, so that now any newspaper which persists in holding these lotteries will do so only at the risk of incurring the dis- pleasure of the post office department, and probably suspension from mail service privileges. Lotteries are unlawful and demoralizing. What more beneficial act could have been committed for the betterment of the press, and for all journalistic interests in general, than Postmaster Hays' order for the elimination of these undesirable, no-con- structive devices? Today is your chance to give Ann Arbor chil- dren a Merry Christmas while you are enjoying your own. 1 The Telescope How Dear to My Heart!
