THEY HAVE ANSWERED
Thirteen hundred Michigan men
have so far rendered to their nation
the highest service human beings are
called upon to bestow-themselves.
In such times as the pr.esnt we
think in terms of really big things.
Important occurrences in life's daily
round of events three years ago take
small plce beside the acrifi'ces men
are making today.
America has changed much in this
short time. The whole world has
changed. Our own characters have
changed. We have turned from a train
of local thoughts to thoughts which
center about the national and world
destinies.
These Michigan men have heard the
call to give up individual happiness
for universal happiness. They have
done so without complaint. They are
pioneers who will change the aspect
of the world for all time.
Michigan turns them over to a great-
er field - the performance of their
duty,
THE FIFTH ANNUAL CONVOCA-
TION
Today for the fifth time the entire
University will meet in Hill auditor-
ium for one hour. It is in this period
of national crisis that Convocation
day should have a deeper spiritual
meaning for all of us. It is the sense
of unity among students, among the1
University, among the members of the
nation that such an occasion develops
and fosters.
There are few among the most blase
of the students and the faculty of
Michigan who do not feel a thrill of:
loyalty and a deeper responsibility to-
ward their Alma Mater because of
Convocation. It is the only time in
the year that regents, faculty, and stu-
dents assemble together.
Come out for Convocation today.
It is one of your best opportunities
to show your appreciation for what
Michigan has done for you and your
devotion to her as a Michigan man.

Engineering News
An attempt by a German student
enrolled in the engineering college to
reconcile some of the differences be-
tween the United States and Germany
will be printed in the Technic, to ap-
pear late this month. It is entitled,
"The Inside of the Cup." A member
o the editorial staff said yesterday
that the article is not written in a
controversial spirit, and that it con-
tains nothing to offend even the most
patriotic individual.
Other articles will be, "The Role of
Chrome Vanadium Steel," by F. J.
Griffiths, vice-president of the Central
Steel company; "Alloy Steel," by D.
N. A. Blacet," metalluringist of the
Central Steel company, and "Coin-
mercial Development of Technical
Business," by George H. Gibson, '89E,
of New York City.
A picture of the demolishing of the
old Literary tower serves as frontis-
piece, and several other cuts of cam-
pus scenes and views of Camp Davis
will appear, together with cartoons
with general campus appeal. The
cover design is the same as that used
last year, and the number of pages
about the same.
Subscription price and price of sin-
gle copies has been raised to keep
pace with rising expenses. Yearly
subscriptions now cost $1.50 and sin-
gle copies 40 cents, a raise of 50 cents
on the year and 15 cents on the copy.
There is no change, however, in the
arrangement whereby a membership
in the Engineering society and a
year's subscription to the Technic is
given for $1.25.
The corduroy trouser has had its
day, and indications are that it will
not be seen on the campus this year.
The upper classes have not had
their assemblies yet, but several mem-
bers gave as their opinion yesterday
that the distinctive "breeches" would
give way before the khaki uniforms
the men will wear in drill classes.
The civil engineering branch of the
Engineering society met in society
rooms Wednesday night and elected
officers for the second year. Robert
A. Kimberly, '18E, was elected presi-
dent; G. Maurice Gay, '17E, vice-presi-
dent, and James R. Hill, '18E, secre-
tary-treasurer.
Plans for the Camp Davis dance to
be given later in the year are being
discussed. The committee has not
yet been appointed and nothing def-
unite can be done until then.

Several naval reserves not caught
in the draft have been granted leaves
of absence for the school year. Two
of these, Raymond Sherrick, '20E, and
Vernon D. White, '20E, have enrolled
in the engineering college.

the several faculties of the University
will be given by the President and
Regents Friday, Oct. 12 . The changes
in the teaching staff caused by the ab-
sence of the many men who have en-
tered the National service, are so great
this year, that the committee in charge
of the reception may fail to send invit-
ations to all. It is hoped that every
man having the rank of instructor, or
of a higher rank, will be present at
the reception, even though he fails
to receive a formal invitation.
