THE VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE It has been said that the only pro- fessions for which women of this Uni- versity prepare themselves are teach- ing and marriage. Inaccurate as, gen- eralizations of the kind necessarily are, this comes unfortunately too near the truth. That these are probably the two noblest professions in which women can engage, is no reason why all wom- en should ,undertake one or the other of them as a life work. All men do not attempt to become doctors or min- isters, although public opinion no doubt regards them as representing the highest type of endeavor. The chief benefit of the vocational conference which the Women's leagud brings to Ann Arbor every fall, is not the number of careers decided, al- though this is not small. It is the fact that the minds of women are opened to the variety of work which the world offers them. Without a stimulus such as this, women can drift into conven- tional or accessible occupations, simp- ly because they have never in their lives had their attention directed to work for which they are quite pos- sibly better fitted. We have wheatless days and meat- less days, and now maybe we'll have taxiless nights. The latest war reports from Macar- oni state that- the Austrians have cap- tured 60 miles of spaghetti on the Isonzo front One of those adorable women stu- dents recently said that the new Union looked "just like the Martha Cook building." The man with the statistics is out, but it is safe to say that student pat- ronage means something to the taxi companies. Especially when the women have offered to walk to parties to aid in campus economy. Our friend, the three cent stamp, looks fine and refreshed after its long vacation. Just to keep our joy at the thought of the game Saturday from bubbling over, some of the professors are an- nouncin mid-semesters. RAPS TAXICABCOMPAIES STUDENT BELIEVES RECKLESS "PROFITEERING" AT PRESENT TIME SHOULD BE STOPPED. Editor, The Michigan Daily: An issue has been raised by the faculty and students of the University of Michigan relative to the action of the city taxicab companies in raising their rates. This matter is easily dis- posed of when looked at from the right point of view. Surely the taxi com- panies should be willing to co-operate with the people who are their. main patrons, namely, the faculty and stu- dents of the University. Now when every patriotic student in the Univer- sity is endeavoring to the best of his ability to economize, it would be a rank injustice to impose any extra burdens upon him either directly or indirect- ly. -- Many people say: "Let him walk if he wishes to economize." That is good reasoning and every student who thinks twice will act accordingly, but there are times when the use of a taxi borders on necessity rather than lux- ury. In that case if the rates are rais- ed the burden will rest on the afflu- ent person, on whom it should rest, or upon the less fortunate victim of cir- cumstances, and it is the latter per- son with whom we are concerned. Many students and members of the faculty are buying Liberty bonds, many are subscribing to the Y. M. C. A. army fund, many are helping the Red Cross. Many students are work- ing their way through school and buying Liberty bonds at the same time. Is not this patriotism? Should these men be imposed upon? Why can't this issue be put up to the taxi com- panies in this light? Surely, they are expected to get into the band wagon and do their patriotic bit. It is the hope of every true Amer- ican, that the days of profiteering are over at least for the duration of the war. Does every merchant expect to make the same profit he did previous to the war? If he does he is a lucra- tive parasite whose only thought is the eternal "ego" and whose selfish aims will help to prolong the war. It may be that the taxi companies are paying more for gasoline and gen- eral up keep but that does not alter the situation. They have endeavored to railroad an ordinance through the city council with the sole aim of dis- criminating against the faculty and students who are their main support. They must not expect to make the pro- fit they did formerly especially now that their patrons are undergoing ex- tra burdens imposed by the war. It is ludicrous to even think of meatless, wheatless and sweetless days if we al- low such a palpable injustice as this one proposed by the taxi companies. A JUNIOR LAW. SEND SOLDIERS SWEITES WRITER OBJECTS TO CIVILIANS WEARING GARMENTS DESIGNED FOR "SAMMIES" Editor, The Michigan Daily: On Saturday evening I went into Huston's to get the football scores, and while there noticed a young man, possibly a student, playing billiards, and attired in a gray sleeveless sweat- er. I remarked to a group of stu- dents standing' there that it seemed to me rather inappropriate for stu- dents to be wearing these grey sweat- ers when we were told that there was such great need for them for the men in the trenches. My suggestion did not seem to awaken the slightest interest in this group and I was as- sured that I would very soon see a sonsiderable number of the boys wear- ing these sweaters. Several times since returning home; on Saturday I have had impressed on; me the great need for yarn to supply the women who are anxious to knit sweaters and other comforts for the men in France. In fact I have con- tributed twice within three days to funds for this purpose, and it oc- curred to me that I could make a larger contribution by suggesting that the Student Senate, or whatever body' has control or influence over the stu- dent body in general, should ask any students having in their possession these sleeveless grey sweaters to bring them to some specified place, preferably the Red Cross headquar- ters, so that they might ;immediately be sent to our boys in France. The cold weather will be on even now be- fore they are received, and there will be great need for them in the camps and in the trenches. Petsonally, JI cannot conceieve of a student who owns a suit of clothes actually need- ing one of these sweaters, and I am confident 'that they will only need to be reminded of the need of the sol- diers to cause them to turn in these garments. It 'would seem to me that it would or should be, a very un- popular thing to wear these sweaters around an institution that has made the record for service that Michigan has, under existing circumstances. The boys in the army stores course and those who are excused on leave to pursue engineering, dentistry and other courses at the suggestion of the war authorities, might of course with propriety wear these sweaters and in that case it should be a mark of dis- tinction.
