Editor, The Michigan Daily;- When Mr. Bartelme attended a' re- cent Conference meeting in Chicago it became very evident from the desire of the Conference colleges to sched- ule games with Michigan that Michi- gan will be very warmly received by the other universities constituting the Western -Conference. There will be no difficulty in making out as heavy a schedule of intercollegiate contests as this University can carry out. There has, however, been a decided difference of opinion as to the desira- bility of holding intercollegiate con- tests at all. Experience with the of- ficers reserve training camps has dem- onstrated that "M" men have been conspicuously successful in securing commissions, thus showing that men who possess the qualities for leader- ship in athletics will probably make successful leaders in military work. This would argue strongly for the desirability of keeping up an active interest in athletics which interest is so strongly stimulated by inter- collegiate contests. On the other hand, it is a clear duty not only of individuals but of associa- tions to make every sacrifice they can to assist the government in the win- ning of the war. If intercollegiate contests are held many people would hesitate about spending the money necessary fo attend if the games are conducted under the conditions here- tofore prevailing; that is if the net earnings of the association are to be used for the improvement of Ferry field or other property coming under the jurisdiction of the Athletic asso- ciation. If, however, Michigan should come our squarely with the statement that while athletics are to be encouraged so far as possible for its own sake, for the duration of the war the net earnings of the Athletic association will be devoted to war relief work, i feel that not only would such a policy meet with general approval, but It would enable Michigan to contribute in this way very substantially to the war. If Michigan should initiate a movement of this kind it is probable that other universities would follow. The-, relatively small sacrifice which our Athletic association would be called on to make would be only such as one should make in the present crisis. It would be well to have an expres- sion of opinion from the student body concerning the desirability of carry- ing out the above suggestion. E. D. CAMPBELL.
