HIGH morale and neat appearance are
inseperable - in business and profess-
ional life as well as in the fighting
force.
You men who control the destiny of
industrial America will find the qual-

ADMINISTRATION ORDERS
WHEATLESS MEAL TODAY'
MUST OBSERVE RESTRICTIONS
SATURDAY AS OTHER
DAYS
"One wheatless meal on Saturday,"
orders the food administration. "Use
no bread, crackers, pastry, or break-
fast foods containing wheat. Stren-
uous conservation measures must be
put into effect by patriotic citizens in
order to alleviate the problem of feed-
ing the Allies until the next harvest."
The administration urges that po-
tatoes be consumed in larger quanti-
ties. Thousands of bushels of pota-
toes have been reported lying on
Michigan farms, unused. In addition
to this, physicians recommend pota-
toes as a more nourishing substitute
that the other articles used in the
manufacture of bread.
"Each load of potatoes sold now
helps to send wheat across the seas
and make the Kaiser mad," was the
message recently flashed from the de-
partment of agriculture in Washing-
ton. "Potatoes are inexpensive and
good wholesome food, and it is the
duty of every householder to use them
in as many ways as possible."
In spite of the number of govern-
ment regulations for the conservation
of wheat, it is said that people are
not observing the wheatless meals.
The regulations call for all meals to
be wheatless on Mondays and Wed-
nesdays, and one wheatless meal on
the other days. The fact that people
of Ann Arbor are not familiar with
these regulations is shown by the
manner in which they have been dis-
regarded.

DEGREE RECOMMENDATION
CABLED ANDREW VAN. LOPIK
"Degree recommended" was the
cable sent by Dean J. R. effinger to
Lieut. Andrew Van Lopik, "Some-
where in France," former member
of the 1916 class of the University.
At the meeting of the literary fa-
culty Monday evening, Lieutenant Van
Lopik was recommended for gradua-
tion. This is the first time in the
history of the University, and it is
thought the first time in the history
of any American universitly, that a
student was notified by cable of his
recommendation for graduation. His
name will be presented to the board
of regents at its next meeting, May
3, as candidate for - the degree of
Bachelor of Arts,
Lieutenant Van Lopik is a member
of the Twenty-sixth Infantry, United
States America, and is now stationed
in the trenches. He was a student at
the first officers' training camp at
Fort Sheridan, and was afterward or-
dered overseas, - having been there
since September. His home is in
Grand Haven.

150 ALIEN, WOMEN
TO REGISTER HERE
Registration of female German
aliens has been announced for Wash-
tenaw county by the department of
justice at Washington.
According to instructions received
by Mayor Ernest Wurster, the registra-
tion will be conducted in the same
manner as the recent registration of
male German aliens. The date has
not yet been set. It is estimated that
approximately 150 women will be af-
fected by this ruling in Ann Arbor.
The letter in part reads, "The plan
of the registration of the German alien
women, who are estimated to be about
the same in number as the German
male aliens, will be substantially that
followed in the registration of German
males."
Mayor Wurster informed the attor-
ney general yesterday that the nec-
essary instructions will be given to
the chief of police, and that the work
will be undertaken here upon receipt
of further orders.
MARRIED LIFE CO MENDED
BY MRS, JULIET Vr STRAUSS
"It is a pet idea of mine that the
great majority of married couples
love each other, sensational newspa-
pers, putrid fiction and the divorce
dockets to the contrary, notwithstand-
ing." This is a characteristic expres-
sion of Mrs. Juliet V. Strauss, lec-
t urer and author, who will speak in
Ann Arbor for the first tizau at 6:30
o'clock Sunday night before the
Methodist guild.
Mrs. Strauss first become known
under the nome-de-plume of the
"Country Contributer" in the Indian-
apolis Journal. Since the publication
of her lecture entitled "Where Mother,
Gets Her Halo" which she will give
Sunday night, she has been a regular
contributor to the Ladies Home Jour-
nal in the "Ideas of a Plain Country;
Woman."
War relics in the windows of the
British recruiting office on Main
street, have been attracting much no-
tice from passers-by. Among the col-
lection is a Boche saw-tooth bayonet
taken from a German prisoner at
Ypres in 1915, Sergeant Fox, who is
in charge of the recruiting here, said
that only certain regiments are equip-
ped with "this pleasant little device."
Parts of the first Zeppelin brought
down in England, at Cuffley, are also
shown, together with parts and
"splinters" of shells and fuses. Two
helmets, one of the old type used
in the war, are being exhibited. A
pair of shoes worn by Captain Baxter,
of Detroit, for two weeks in the bat-
tle of the Somme, are shown in the
same condition as after the battle.
Sergeant Fox has been for a few
days, and purposes to give men the
opportunity to avoid the coming draft
by treaty betweet England, Canada,
and the United States. A list of 119
British subjects in the vicinity, who
will be affected by the proposed treaty
between the countries, is in the hands
of the men in charge. Friendly aliens,
exclusive of Americans, will be re-
ceived by the recruiting officers after
proper physical examination.
The Canadian tank corps is highly
recommended to college men as an
interesting branch of service by the
Sergeant. No one but a college stu-
dent is permitted to enter, and ac-
cording to the men in charge, appoint-
ment for high offices will inevitably
folloM. Another interesting branch
is said to be the Royal flying corps,
but this is open to others thn eobilege
students.
Barristers Initiate 10 Junior Laws
Barristers, senior law honorary so-
ciety, will initiate 10 junior laws this
afternoon at its annual spring initia-
tion.
The initiates are to stand for two
hours with hands and heads in stocks,
having been convicted of contempt of
court, and contumely of the law.
Dancing Friday and Saturday nights
at the Armory.-Adv.
By the Act of 1837, a tract of lan
was set aside on whih to locate a
university where the higher banches
of education might be taught to those
settling in the middle west. But be-
fore work on the proposed buildings
could be started, it was found neces-
sary to select a body of men to act as
the executive head, to manage the uni-
versity fund, superintend all construc-
tion, and secure a faculty of compe-
tent men.
Twelve regents were chosen for a
term of four years, to undertake the
task, their appointment coming
through the power of the governor,
approved by the state senate and a
chancellor to act ex-officio in the ca-
pacity of president. The committee
was made a corporate body and could
make all laws governing the affairs
of the University.
Members Were Politicians
Many of the members were poli-
tical men, who made this work secon-
dary to politics, and subsequent events
proved the lack of real ability on the
part of some of the men. To avoid
public criticism, several cleogymen
were placed on the board.
Without considering the cost, the
committee had a New Haven architect
draw plans for a central building,
which if completed, would have used
up most of the fund set aside for the
maintenance of the college. But after
much discussion, it was decided to
erect a main building, with two dor-
mitories , and four houses for the pro-
fessors. As the University gradually
increased in size, the two dormitor-
ies were converted into recitation
rooms, and are now known as the
north and south wings of University
Hall, while the houses of the profes-
sors became places to take care of
the surplus students.
Powers of Board 'Increased
With the elapse of time, the powers
of the Board of Regents have increas-
ed until they have the control of re-
gulating all courses of study, appoint-
ing the prescribed number of pro-
fessors, regulating their salaries,
granting degrees, and giving diplomas.
Since the natal day of this execu-
tive body, June 5, 1837, there have
been more than 130 regents, many
remaining in office more than one
term, and although some were hardly
a credit to their position, the majority
of these have performed their work
well without recompense.

Fowls And Dogs
Destroy Gardens1
Chickens and dogs must be re-
strained from running at large, owing
to numerous complaints of depreda-
tions being committed in war gar-
dens, according to Mayor Ernest M.
,Wurster and the police department.
Instructions from Federal Food
Administrator Prescott read in part:
"Will you kindly instruet your chief
of police to see that no chickens or
live stock are permitted to run at
large, and deal with those who wil-
fully ignore your orders, to the full
extent of the state laws and your lo
.cal ordinances."
In accordance to these instructions,
Mayor Wurster announces that the
rule in regard to chickens, dogs and
other live stock will be strictly en-
forced, and people who own chickens
or animals of any kind, are warned to
keep them confined. Police have re-
ceived instructions to take rigid
means to secure obedience.
"The great need of the present is
plenty of food, and all people must
understand that nothing that can be
prevented will be allowed to inter-
fere with production, or to endanger
the most perfect possible results of
the war gardens which the people have
planted, or may plant this season."
Mayor Wurster said yesterday.
