The campus has failed to turn out for athletics as liberally in the past few years as formerly. In view of this fact it is but natural to enter into the theory that the teamsas a con- sequence will not be as good as would otherwise be the case. This can be seen in the number of candidates out for track this season. Michigan for years has not had what could be call- ed a good track team. We have had a few individual stars, athletes who held their own in the fastest college track company. We have had Smith, Carroll, Ufer, Jansen, Bond, and a few others. They have served as a neucleus for a track team. But they have been encircled by but few others who were willing to devote a consid- erable amount of time and effort to Michigan, who felt before they had gone far into the sport that their names could never be placarded in large letters as winners of a first place in the intercollegiates. There must be stars in any field. There must be men who stand head and shoulders above other men. But there must also be those who quietly struggle along without visible osten- tation. Such make up the major por- tion of almost any undertaking. Climate is a wonderful thing. To go to sleep to the drip of fast de- parting snow, and be awakened by the landlady yelling to "close that door, do you want to freeze the whole blooming house," is something not given to the average citizen. benefit; that, if invested in a Thrift stamp, you would never have missed. Do it this week--now. Excuses won' go-with your own consciences. If you want to make the kaiser groan, buy a Thrift stamp.

Night Editor-Russell Barnes OR MICHIGAN-AND UNCLE SAM Six thousand nine hundred and ighty Michigan men in service! Six iousand nine hundred and eighty loy- I, courageous, sturdy sons of their .lma Mater! Michigan has many things of which > be proud; Michigan has proudly de- ed the country many times to show ny school superior to her in breadth nd courage and citizenship. Today, lichigan has showed her colors; to- ay she boasts proudly-and right- ully-of her sons, of her national re- own and, more especially, of her es- rit de corps. The number of fighting men Michi- an has contributed to her country's ause is almost astounding. It equals t least one-fifth of her total of alum- i, students, and faculty men. Each f these men is courageously uphold- ig his University's honor, oblivious > discomfort, danger, or fatigue, for- fled in the knowledge that he is do- ig his share in America's great fight. But if it were only of the individ- als that Michigan boasts, it would s an empty braggadocio indeed. very university-nay every institu- on, educational, industrial or what ot-has contributed in some sense o America's cause. It is not of the! en alone that Michigan boasts; it is f the spirit inculcated in these men! hile they were yet within her own ieltered walls of which Michigan is roud; it is of the esprit de corps, he Michigan spirit, or whatever is Lat singular quality that has brought ichigan men to the front in every isis that we boast. Today we see, perhaps for the first me in history, that very Michigan pirit defined in its truest, broadest, ost ennobling sense. It is the force hat sends men to the front despite anger and peril; that places men herever their country needs them; at knows no fear when their na- onal entity is threatened. In short, is citizenship. That is why Michigan says proudly day: "Six thousand nine hundred and ghty Michigan men in service!" THE REMEDY MAY LIE ELSE- WHERE For some time we have been faced ith the old wheeze that Michigan's >achiug system along all lines need- i a ,e-birth, that the present coach- might make good janitors for an firmary, or something almost equal- r out of the question.

State St. Notice these Thus far it would seem that the Smileage campaign on the campus has brought few smiles to the committee in charge. The kaiser may now be planning to eat his next Christmas dinner in Pet- rograd instead of Paris. Next week will witness the cadet corps limping around the campus in its new army shoes. Why do they call them "glee" clubs? WAR FOR GREED NEVER JUSTIFIED By Louis L. Goodnow, '05L, of the Detroit News War for greed in any form is in- conceivably wrong. That is what we are out to teach the kaiser and it behooves us to win the war in Europe, so the United1 States will not later -be made a col- ossal Belgium. Recall pictures of Belgian mothers and children.. Nearly all graduates are entering government service for the war before their hands have warmed their di pbomas. Those waiting, studying to fit themselves for specialized war work, or barredf from the front by sex, are naturally impatient to get into the fray in some manner; any manner that will help. The government,-has offered a way to take that helpful part; a way open to every man and womanstudent. The way is to buy Thrift stamps, growing into War Savings certificates. The stamps can be bought for 25 cents each. It is good business for thie buy- er, but that is of no moment. What does matter is that. every quarter spent for a Thrift stamp helps to buy munitions, food, clothing, transporta- tion for-a fighting son of America. It helps to carry along someone risking his life to keep the war over there, and end it so there will be no more wars to demand toll of frightfulness. "Living expenses are high. It takes all I can earn to pay my way through the University so I can fit myself to do good work in the war when I grad- uate." "Father writes that he cannot in- crease my allowance. I am broke all the time. Father is buying Liberty bonds to the extent of his ability. It is unfair to ask the old man to fork over money for me to buy Thrift stamps." Perfectly correct-rot. Honestly, each and every one of you men and women; you remember at least one 25 cent piece spent in the Unusual Nymphs In all Of their Nimble antics, eh? Cup of Cheer to the- R. 0. T. C. What if they do fit like your Sun- day pajamas? Flanders mud has a way of making all uniforms look alike. When we came around a corner over on the campus last night and suddenly found ourselves confronted with the necessity of choosing be-. tween the Australian crawl and scis- sors kick, we began to understand why fair Alma Mater has been dubbed "Goddess of the Inland Seas." One of the coyest of the heroes who drill the Barbour Gymnasium Ladies' Aid has a slight Bowery accent in moments of emotional strain. "guy to the right," he ordered. And for once they obeyed the com- mand as one girl. Mrs. Kate Wood Ray, who has not yet arrived in Ann Arbor at this writ- ing, is reported to have delivered an address at the registration conference yesterday afternoon, by the Newspa- per for Ann Arbor and Washtenaw county - EVERYBODY Reads It!!! Which inadvertence recalls the an- cient legend that Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine, while his parents were traveling in Europe. Has it ever been your pleasure to stand on a corner in the early spring when the streets were in the condi- tion described by the deadly half of the human species as "gooey," and see a girl, who turned you down once freshman year and has never had a chance to do it since, come clicking haughtily along in her new bisque camouflage? Didn't it almost- choke with the saccharine quality of your emotion when a- couple of young imps raced past her and transformed her into a well-spattered object at which she knew you were looking? It's a poor thaw which splashes no- body good.
