They should be given preference over the enlisted man who neversawthe inside of the four walls of a university, I At the same time there is a point of conciliation between the two, and it is this point that Michigan should soon attain. She should educate her maximum of students first, but after that fill her halls to capacity with government men taking the training which Michigan's facilities offer. The University should drop the common phrase and resolve that she will "Do her best." CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM The Daily has been censured lately as being too free in its criticism of campus affairs. It has been accused of not being squarely behind such un- dertakings as the Union opera, the basketball team, or the R. 0. T. C. These organizations could not be ab- solutely perfect, point out the accus- ers, and it is The Daily's duty to ree- ognize the fact and stand back of them unswervingly. The Daily has made mistakes this year, as have all other bodies whose scope is more or less broad; but The Daily feels that its stand in the above points is not a mistake. It is a poor kind of loyalty that would not point out weaknesses for the sake of )improvement. To say that everything is perfect, when in reality it is far from such,' would be worse for any organization-than the severest sort of criticism'. A teacher does not teach by overlooking weak points. A football coach does not tell his teaix that it is the best in the world, when it loses a game, or between the halves. A business man does not run his bus- iness by ignoring its faults. It is only by finding the faults, seeking out the weak points and trying its best to improve them, that progress is made. A newspaper can please some of the people all the time, but can never hope to please all its readers on all occasions. It is impossible to progress in any public undertaking without be- ing criticised. Those who would do so are urged to stay in bed. Far be it from The Daily to believe in continually criticising, if by that is meant merely finding fault. But it does, and always has, believed in in- telligent criticism-in criticism that will be of some help, that will cause improvement. -. Every worthy cause on the campus has the unquestioned support of The Daily, and it is only through showing its loyalty by offering suggestions of improvement that The Daily feels it is accomplishing a duty it owes to the University. The Hun leaders are now telling their people that grave insubordina- tion is a daily occurrence in American camps. If you -call the desire of some hundreds of thousands to growl a bit because they aren't .allowed to grasp a Hun throat immediately insubordin- ation, then we have it in abundance. We have at last observed a use for a senior cane beyond the evident one of revealing the mental calibre of the bearer. When swung in a Chaplines- que arc it's the dawndiest little wea- pon for lknocking off cigarette ash! And the Triangle Turned Over in h Pavement of the Arch The ambitions candidate for B. S. of M. E. was studying for a blue book on the train into Detroit. Yes, he was; there were a number of witnesses. And the nice old lady who shared the seat wanted to know what he was studying, "Gear teeth, ma'am," answered the amateur blacksmith. "My," ejaculated Somebody's Grand- ma, "you dental students have to work awful hard, don't you?" The Ann Arbor avatar of the De- troit News remarks that no self-re- specting young woman has any busi- ness to marry a man until she is able to support him in the styje to, which he is accustomed. We'd agree if it weren't for the adjective. A self- respecting young woman would be ex- ceedingly likely to have moral scruples against supporting a man in the style to which he has been accustomed. Oh, Maurice! "I see the senior girls are' going around. with sticks now." "That's nothing; they always have." Bloody-noses and black-eyed Susans are in order as a floral offering for the fresh medic who walked slowly down the north side of North Uiiversity yesterday absorbing a panoramic view of the women's baseball game through the chinks in the fence, and suddenly ran up against the fact that trees grow in the middle of sidewalks in Ann Arbor. Edged In By Gargoyle Propagandists We asked the newly appointed cub how it seemed to be on the staff of the G. M. N. He said he hadn't realized that the official ranks had been so de- pleted by this here war. Thermopylae Terrifying quiet enveloped the white-haired man as he sat in his desk in one of those latest of spring quiets which fit the figure so well, cut- ting a little at the waist. It was plain, almost unadorned, that something was going to happen. Solemnly he raised his hand above the pile of sky-blue phamplets before him and spoke in the voice of doom. "They shall not pass," he said. And Bingo Wagged His Tail Another phase of the "Save the meats" campaign appears in the may- or's order that all loose dogs be shot. Bayonne (N. J.)

RE'OMM3ENIDS USE OF 3hFiK AS CONSERVATION MEASURE As a part of their food saving pro- gram, a number of house wives are continuing to decrease their milk pur- chases, while at the same time reports are being made daily of a surplus of milk in many parts of the state. "Milk is a food which can be used without stint, and is cheaper at pre- vailing city prices than butter or eggs," said Dr. Mary Anderson, of the extension department of Michigan Agricultural college, in commenting on the situation. "Every growing child should have at lastonequart of fresh milk daily," she said, "for it is especially essential, because of its high food value and mineral salt value, in building up the framework of every .growin; child. "Liberal use of milk at -this time, in addition to being economical in the home, will help lessen our milk sur- plus and decrease the need for wheat and other foods which we must share with our Allies." RIHOES APPOINTiMENTS TO BE DISC0ONTINUED TEMPOR.ARILY No more Rhodes scholarship ap- pointments will be made for the pres- ent, according -to a statement receiv- ed by Pres. Harry B. Hutchins, for th year 1916-17, though qualifying ex- aminations wil continue to be given. The report states that "throughout the past academic year the war has in- terfered increasingly with the scholar- ships. At the close of the year 1916- 17, the American scholars holding scholarships were barely affected but on the entry of the UniteStates into the war, the difference between Amer- ican and colonial scholars naturally eeased to exist. "Largely as a consequence of the new situation thus created the trustees have decided to postpone for the pres- ent all future elections to the schol- arship. This will not, however, inter- fere with the annual qualifying ex- aminations. "The trust has continued its policy of giving scholars leave of absence for the duration of the war with the right t'b resume or commence scholar- ship when the war is over, or earlier, should circumstances make that pos- sible." -WA YNE WARDROBES- WILL KEEP YOUR CLOTHES CLEAN AND SHAPELY Get one of these cedar bags and protect your clothes from moths and dust.

If they had left the word boys out of the Boys' Wrking reserve, it is our opinion, knowing them as we do, that more boys would join it.

Teachers Demand Raise Before Spring Port Huron, May 13.-Claiming that there was a joker an the salary sche- dule presented to them, Port Huron teachers have decided not to sign con- tracts for the coming year unless their demand for an increase in salary is granted. If the board of education grants the request of the 138 teachers, they will receive practically $200 more than they are getting at present.
