BOARD IN CONThOL OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS. OOV, SLEEPER DESIGNATES -- IMAY 12 AS XOTHER'S DAY dent Governor Sleeper has designated on Sunday May 12 as Mother's day. the In reverence for the mothers of the Dard nation, everyone is asked to wear a oos- ging red or white flower on that day. ons: "The beautiful custom of setting >yle, apart one day in the year as Mother's sian, day ought to make an especially Ath- strong appeal to us this year," the the proclamation reads. "The mothers of the the land are freely spending time, and to energy, and ability in many useful t to forms of war service. More than all, pos- not counting the cost, they are bravely hich giving up their sons in the cause of liberty= and it is entirely fitting, while that we honor the memory of the dead, that pub- we should make mention also fo the ,ible splendid spirit of service and sacri- ead- fice which animates the living." NEW LIST OF WAR MENUES IS- SUED BY UNIVERSITY SAN- ITARIAN Investigations of the rooming hous- es on the campus will be begun next week by Miss Sue C. Hamilton, of the University health service.

Dodge, of Port Huron, former curator of botony in the Museum, who died on March 22 of this year. In addition to the col- lection there were also several un- published manuscripts and a number of valuable noteboks. Dancing Friday and Saturday nights at the Armory.-Adv. i. D. TAYLOR, '94, DECLARES CLOS- ING OF SALOONS DESERVES MORE EARNEST COMMENT Editor, The "Michigan Daily:" This morning I turned to the editor- ial column of The Daily to find what it had to say on the long-looked for closing of the saloons of the state and of Ann ArborI in particular. This is an event for which the sane and high- minded people of this and of other states have been striving for years, an event fraught with such influence for the thousands of young people wVU yearly come to Michigan that it call- ed for an editorial of the most ear- nest and lofty character. Instead of such an editorial, what did find, such expressions as these "Back to 'Joe's and the 'Orient' will become but hollow traditions whiof will never enrich the coming gener- ations of Maize and Blue alumni;" "in more ways than one we of the old school cannot help but feel a sense of superiority over thosethat shall follow us;" "the flowing bowl has meant much to us;"' "nothwithstanding the fact that entrance behind the swinging'doors of the city saloons has widened our college education." This language may express the sentiments of part of the students and alumni of. Michigan, that part which has staggered home In the late evening singing in pitifully boyish voices discordant snatches of the Michigan drinking song, which has strewn the lawns of corner residences on the way home' with empty beer and whiskey bottles, which has occa- sionally iserenaded the sorority houses with maudlin choruses; but it certainly does not express the senti- ments of all. You speak in another article of the damnable reminiscences of one of these jolly 'saloon-keepers, who re- members so fondly the great judges who once frequented his bar. Ask him if he remembers the dozens of others; weaker souls, whom his whis- key. helped to send to the gutter. Do not you yourself, think these same judges would have been as great as they are and still greater had they not made the acquaintance rf "Larry" and "Joe .Parker?" Some years -ago, one of the most dissipated men on the campus, the son of a great jurist, who himself, while a student here was a wild fellow, had fallen so low that he read the letter his mother wrote him begging him to conduct himself like a decent human being aloud to his fellow, revellers who added jeers to his own. Can you imagine any- thing more contemptible. Since then he is said to have reformed and to have become a respectable citizen But to this day his name in Ann Arbor is associated with "booze" and the scars will not wear off should he rise to the highest place in the land. In Heidelberg the students find their joy in drinking bouts, a quartet of them driving about the city, drink- ing as they drive until one after an- other falls under the seat. The lat man to succumb it the "best fellow! This is the brutal. German ideal of what constitutes a college man. We do not wish it to be ours. If America wins this war, it is to be done through the pursuit of high ideals. If a college man any longer wants to enjoy him- self over the "flowing bowl," let hiM join his fellow beasts in Germany. America and American univmesitge need men, not demijohns. That is why Michigan is to be dry. April 30, 1918 M. D. Taylor, '94 Soccer Player Released by Berlin London, April 30.-Steve Bloomer, the famous international soccer play- er, has been released from Ruhleben' camp, near Berlin, where he has been held prisoner, since the beginning of the war. The well-known football player was engaged as coach at a prominent soccer club in Berlin when war was declared. Bloomer is not much over 40 years old and one won- ders why the enemy has allowed the old Derby count star to leave Ger- many. Perhaps they recognized his sporting spirit and gave him freedom as a reward for the really splendid work he has done in organizing games for his fellow prisoners.
