Nfght Editor-Mark K. Ehlbert NQW THAT THE GRADES ARE1 OUT- iohigan should speed up. She offd reach an efficiency this semest- Phigher than she has done. We have en . too many of the old type of refree students in the past five mths. The life of the student is a priceless e. None of us, once here, would be ling to sacrifice our college days. It an .opportunity which comes to too w of us. But this year, and possibly for many airs to come, the student should uisfortn himself into something big- r. There is more to be done than er. The opportunity for national rvce lies on every hand waiting to taken up. College life should not all "A's" and nothing else, no ould it resolve Itself into week-end ips. It is vastly better that we ould be in uniform than that we ould continue to be the old type of gdent.' A HERfTAGE Stanley Augspurger, '17, is the first ichigan man to give his life upon reign soil since the entrance of the ited States into the gigantic strug- e for Christian altruism; he is Mich- an's Initial sacrifice, the fist of us carve his name upon the tablet at is to remind our nation that our iiversity is for the country and with .e country to the last. Those of uswho knew Stanley Aug- urger need only to picture him as e last saw him to realize something Michigan's first loss. As a man, represented a fine type of Mich- an man; as a friend, he proved him- If to be one of the kind that contri- tes more than congeniality and per- nal charm alone; for us who' knew ma only casually, it must be realized at the country and the University ,ye lost one of the type of men who e the cornerstones upon which both ructures are builded. RELICS Remember when you were a little aver, and used to ask your mother r some bread and jam? And re- amber how you used to go out to ay, with the bread and jam very Ich in evidence? And remember how you used to take ur lunch to school with you in a te black box because you lived too r to come home at noontimes? And ed to pass around apples and cake the other fellows and sometimes the icher? And the all-day suckers-for ER? Most of those childhood habits have ssed away with our childhood days. e have become grown-up now, and must be dignified. But there is oneI custom that still prevails, and we can see it on our own campus. We have remained true to one relic of our rade school days. . We still, bring our lunches to class. True, we do not carry them in baskets or little black lunch boxes, and more's the pity. They are put up for us in smaller and more convenient packages -they cost five cents, and are called by various names, Spearmint, Jiicy Fruit, Black Jack, and so on. But the spirit of childhood is there. It must be very gratifying to a professor to find that all his students have not! grown-up; everybody likes children. Of course, the habit of chewing gum is a disgusting one, and reminds one of the cow chewing her cud. And sometimes, the gum chewers make so much noise that the lecturer is quite outdistanced. But these are minor points, and we bear them ch'eer- fully, for the sake of bygone days. It would be a shame if we became so hardened that no relic of our infancy remained. Let us keep up the tradi- tion; let us continue to chew gum in classes; let others say it is ungentle- manly, disgusting; we know we are in the right. We must show the world that childhood is not dead, even in a university. We take pleasure in presenting our readers with the latest methods of spelling, as advocated by our may-we- say-noted contemporary, the Gargoyle. In its February editorial "Women in the Union Opera," we are faced with these words-hyprocit, catagory, de- liniation, and enterprize. The way Michigan athletes are flocking to the service, Yost may be compelled to organize a Varsity knit- ting team by next fall. The health service reports an in- crease in the .number of feminine necks for excessive strain. Those R. t.. T. C. boys again! May we soon emerge from these By Professor John R. Brumin SECOND SEMESTER The Thrift and War Savings stamp campaign will succeed just as the other war-fund campaigns have succeeded- by reason of the driving force of the men back of it. The campus, I dare say, is potentially heroic. I presume that there are among us those who do the painful right without admon- ition. But, unfortunately, most of us can be aroused from our indifference only by the heavy artillery of oratory, the frenzy ofta mass meeting, or the spectacular appeal of a parade. It is a pity that we cannot be-depended upon to meet the obligations of our citizen- ship without obtrusive incitements, so that the energy expended in our behalf might be conserved for other purposes. The war seems to be farther from the campus than fromh other communities. True, 3,000 men have gone from among us into service, and the student cadets are daily reminders of the conflict over-seas. But these 3,000 men have not left with us a tragic sense of loss, except among a few of their intimate associates. The student cadets afford an interesting diversion. We have our old security and most of our usual comforts. There is little sense of strain upon us. The academic routine and the pleasant distractions of college life tend to divert our attention from those unheroic but none the less in- sistent duties which remain for us to do, and which, left undone, cannot fail to add to the hardships of the men who are fighting our battles for us, hardships which may eventuate in de- feat at the front. The people to whom the departure of our student soldiers brings a realization of the grim real- ity of the war live in the home com- munities from which these men come. It is in these communities that the Thrift stamp campaign will be 100 per cent effective. I wish that we did not have to be reminded of the advantageous invest- ment attending the purchase of War Savings stamps, but that we could be relied upon to subscribe to our full share of them, merely to satisfy our' sense, of loyalty to the great crusade t which our country and her allies" have committed themselves. Only as we forget our own needs and devote ourselves to the needs of others, shall we endow our citizenship with the most sacred of privileges-that of sac- rificing for an ideal. Every gift that we freely give to the cause of liberty will react upon us as a kind of spir- itual cleansing and make us more worthy of the high privilege of our citizenship. This world crusade must be carried forward with all the com- pelling energy that is born of great faith. The question for each of us to ask is: "1-low large a share shall I have in this struggle to free the hu- man spirit?" 7oto1n Board of directors of the Women's league meets at 9 o'clock this morn- ing in Barbour gymnasium.

You're on; head a column with a word of four syllables of other than Anglo- Saxon derivation and watch results. According to the G. M. N. in A. A., our soldiers in France are setting up a willful howl for American soap,'cold cream, and like products conducive to those qualities which ar4 next to god- liness and only skin deep. No doubt they have realized that many an oth- erwise attractive soldier finds him- self a failure because of a poor com- plexion. At any rate, trench talk will probably be something on this order when the consignment arrives "Good morning, have you used Pears' soap?" "No, but I've got a little fairy in my home. Look at Jim. He's got the skin you love to touch. Wait until he's been out in the front line a couple of days. He'll let the Gold Dust twins do the work." "They have to use Ivory out there because it floats. Say, could you get into your shirt atfer the monthly wash?" "Sure; MY mama used Wool soap. Do you know that they call the fel- lows back at headquarters Bon Amis? They haven't scratched yet." "Gosh, what a jolt!" "Oh, well, there's beauty in every jar." a He couldn't complain, he had no rea- son to seek the registrar, he didn't wire, home or send her a Valentine. He didn't even go on a Reunion Party. He gazed with haunting disappoint- ment at his little square card.

It is so long since we have been to a cock-fight that we could almost en- joy prosecuting ourselves for it. 11 11 The War and Reconstruction Talks to Michigan Students under the direction of the Students' Christian Association DETROIT UNITED LINES Between Detroit, Ann Arbor and fadjksjm (Effective May 22, 19 17 ) Detroit Limited and Express Cars--; :35 a rn., S:io a. n., and hourly to 70 p. m., 9:e lKalmuazoo Limited Cars- 8:48 a. n. and e~~to hurn to 0:4 'P m. to l.atmng :8 p. m.
