EDITORIAL STAFF Telephones, 2414 and 176-M MANAGING EDITOR MARION B. STAHLR After a brief but stirring visit of only two weeks and a half, Georges Clemenceau, ex-premier of France, sailed home Wednesday from New York. Railed on from Washington and threatened from St. Louis the "Tiger's" visit although short must have been anything but sweet for him. As his wave-tossed sloop plows its way back to France and the land of Lafayette, the indomitable old man will have time to reflect a bit on the possible impressions his trip has made. If he is at all able to see him- self and his influence as others do he will probably come to the conclusionf that the effect his tour has made is twofold.I First there is the personal impres- sion that the rugged old man has made on the people of this country.

Clemen- ceau by his indomitable courage and unquestiotable patriotism has won his way into hearts that formerly beat with anything but affection for him or what he stood for.

DAWSON ONCE AGAIN - CHRISTMAS With the puffed white universe ofr snow bringing the first realization l that Christmas is only ten days off, and a promise of more in the gray1 laden clouds above wafting the fear, of delayed trains into anxious hearts,1 Michigan stands on the brink of her t holiday recess. To the juniors and sophomores this E is just one vacation in the round ofE their college careers. They have an- ticipated it, to be sure, but merely ass an opportunity to set aside scholasticf duties and perhaps revisit home. But1 to the first year. and last year men this recess has a more significant meaning. Ever since arriving last September has each freshman awaited this day when he could journey back to ther fold. He left home a high school sen- ior. le returns a college man. No 4 moment in his four years at Uni-'I versity will equal the grandeur and majesty of that one when he stepsY off the train in the light, of the- ad-. miring eyes of his own community.' To the senior comes the realization f that this is his last Christmas re- cess. Almost everything he does from now until next June will be "the last" at Michigan. Yet mixed with this regret at the idea of parting is { a gratification that finally he is about to set out for himself, to make hist own way, to fight the real determinedt battle of life, to reform the world ifl you will, and to show the older onest who have made such a bad job of thingF just how affairs ought to be run.t And so, today, Michigan divides herself up among forty-eight states of the Union, for every student carries with him a part of the reputation ofC his University and a share of respon, siility for the continued welfare oft that University. The opinions of thoseE who do not otherwise know Michigan will be drived from the actions of- her students, and the enthusiasm of: outsiders concerning Michigan can bet 3 merican people at Ley naa com- mitted a national sin. But -he didn't. The practical, matter-of-fact Yan- kee has been reading his daily papers too much of late. When Europe her- self can lay aside for a while her pet- sefc nl yai efr aw ieh rPtty politics and international jealous-' ies and can come to an agreement in regard to the problem of German rep- aration, then the rebuke from 'one of her most eminent statesmen will really. mean something. But until then ,it seems, Clemenceau might preach rebuke until the clap of dooms- day without awakening the national consicence to any more disturbing ex- tent than during the past three weeks. FOR FOREIGN VACATIONERS Citizens of Lansing have sent an in- vitation to the foreign students of the University to spend the Christmas va- cation in Lansing as their guests. Last year a similar hospitable invita, tion was sent to Ann Arbor and six- teen foreign students responded, and speit enjoyable vacations at the cap- ital city. There are many students in the University from foreign lands who find it impossible to return to their( homes over a brief two week period.j A number of these students hesitate7 to accept the invitation from Michi- gan residents because perhaps they do not fully appreciate the sincerity with which the hospitality is offered. These citizens of Lansing are willing and anxious to entertain the Michigan students from distant lands, else they would not repeatedly ask to have them as guests. When a visit is made in response tosuch an invitation it is frequently the source of much pleas- ure not only for the visiting student but for his host or hostess as well, and in many cases friendships are cre- ated wihch last throughout life. An opportunity is afforded foreign students to enjoy a real American Christmas with congenial friends who are more than willing to entertain them with all their available facili- ties. The student who does not avail himself of this opportunity, either through timidity or through lack of understanding the situation will miss a sure-enough treat, as those who go to Lansing will later attest. -I'm going home to father In the morning.

Sincerely," etc. CONSIDER the time of the year when these caveats are broadcasted among us. It will be Yuletide in a' few short days. CONSIDER the following as an im- provement on the present wording of these annual missives of cheer: DEAR JOHNNIE: Just a line to 'wish you a hell of a merry Christmas and an aw- fully jolly New Year.

Psychologists affirm, after close study of scientific data, that greater concentration of attention is secured at close quarters than further away. Whether the young ladies choose the front seats in order to study the in- structor's tie or whether they get closer to be near at hand to pick up the morsels of wisdom with the least amount of effort is a nice question that cannot be settled off hand. But in any case, either form of study has a salutary effect on the marks, facul- ty members to the contrary. So learned diagnosticians need not bewail. Strategy is a low form of intelligence, a species of mental alertness, a quickness to make the most of little details that does not become the intellectual giants who slumber in the rear of the classroom.
