VARSITY BASKETBALL WINS
Michigan is to have Varsity basket-
ball beginning with the 1917-1918 sea-
son, So decreed the board in control
of athletics at its meeting yesterday.
This action by the athletic board is
gratifying because it was taken large-
ly to carry out the wishes of the stu-
dents, and in the face of mediocre fin-
ancial returns which the sport would
bring. It shows that the board has the
interests of the students really at
heart, and is not guided in all its ac-
tions by the mere question of dollars
and cents.
Though basketball is not to be in-
stituted until next season, it is es-
sential that work begin immediately
to launch successfully the new Varsity
sport. The responsibility in this mat-
ter lies not only with the athletic
association, but also with the students.
Though it remains for the athletic
authorities to carry on the routine
work of hiring a coach, arranging a
schedule, etc., the success of the sport
rests ultimately in the hands of the
students themselves. It remains for
them to maintain the interest they
have already shown in basketball, to
talk basketball when they go home for
the holidays, and to be satisfied with
what may appear to be mediocre
schedules the first year or two.
The establishment of basketball as
a Varsity sport is a progressive step
in athletics at Michigan.
WHAT LANGUAGES DO WE SPEAK?
A congress of English teachers re-
cently assembled in New York found
itself discussing whether its members
do teach English; whether the lang-
uage spoken by Americans of the ris-
ing , generation is merely a dialect,
or whether it has attained to the dig-
nity of a distinct "American" tongue.
Professor Scott, of the University of
Michigan, hails the day when this in-
digenous language will be officially re-
cognized. It will apparently be com-
posed of our vernacular Esperanto,
with a few relics of our trans-Atlantic
heritage as a concession to tradition.
Mrs. Smith will extend bids to a dance.
Policemen will become cops in the dic-
tionary, even "Lift up your beans, ye
mighty gates."
As a matter of fact, it will be long
before an American language is es-
tablished in spite of the "janitors of
our speech." Even after three hundred
years of geographical separation,. a
Bostonian understands an English-
man's conversation more readily than a
Southerner's. We still manage to read
English books with tolerable facility.
There will be no slang lingua franca
as long as the leavening influence of
conservative instruction remains. In
the words of Professor Palmer, "Look
well to your speech."-Harvard Crim-
son.

ESTABLISH MILITARY SCHOOL
Duluth Sergeants to Coach Applicants
for U. S. Marine Service
Duluth, Minn., Dec. 9. --Several
worthy young men who were physical-
ly qualied but whose educational op-
portunities have been so limited as to
prove an obstacle to military service,
are now being coached in the "rule
of three" and other primary studies,
by Sergeants Buck and Murphy of the
local recruiting station, who have es-
tablished a night school to help as-
iring applicants to gan eligibility for
service in the United States marines.
Men serving in all branches of the
service are required to have certain
educational qualifications, and it is to
meet these requirements that the two
sergeants have established their
school and volunteered their services
as "school-niarms"
Already several pupils have mas-
tered the learning necessary to qual-
ify, and the military authorities are
taking steps to spread this fre edu-
cational movement to all recruiting
stations of the marine corps.
FOREST SERVICE TO STUDY
CONSUMPTION OF PULPWOO)
Washington, Dec. 9.-Figures show-
ing the amount of wood used in the
United States for making pulp will, it
is announced, be obtained by the for-
est service in connection with its 1916
census of the lumber industry. Be-
cause of the increasing scarcity of the
pulpwood in some parts of the coun-
try, the need for accurate figures
showing the consumption of this class
of material is realized by manufac-
turers and foresters alike and it is
expected that such figures will be
made a part of the yearly statistical
work of the forest service. The pulp
manufacturers will co-operate in the
work, through their trade oganiza-
tion, the Newsprint Manufacturers'
association.
Detailed information in regard to
the amount and cost of different kinds
of pulpwood consumed in the differ-
ent states is to be collected. Com-
parative figures showing the total
pulpwood consumption of the country
for 1899, 1909, 1914, and 1916 are to
be compiled.
WILLYS-OVERLAND COMPANY TO

Toledo, Dec. 8.-An increase in the

bile company employees in Toledo, El-
yria, O., and Elmira, N. Y., was an-
nounced today. Twenty-one thousand
men are affected. The increase
amounts to $1,925,000 a year. The
hours and rate of all employees will

All rates up to and including 3'0
cents will be increased 10 per cent,

including 40 cents will be increased

over 40 cents will be increased five
per cent, all piece work rates will be
increased five per cent.

CONCE11T SERIES FOR WEEK
Twilight Recitals Will Be Offered
3 urina' First Half Of
Examinations
In accordance with the custom es-
tablished three years ago, the Uni-
versity School of Music will co-oper-
ate with the University to the extent
of giving a series of daily twilight re-
citals during ,the first week of exam-
inations.
These recitals will be given in Hill
auditorium and will consist largely of
organ numbers together with vocal
and piano selections to add variety.
The programs, which will be about
three-quarters of an hour in length,
will begin at 4:30 o'clock and will be
made up of numbers that are some-
what light in nature.
The recitals have been called "Re-
laxation Recitals" and are intended to
relieve, to some extent, the mental
strain which is usually marked at the
time of final examinations.
AMERICAN RIGHTS LEAGUE
PROTESTS AGAINST GER_)ANY
The American Rights league, with
headquarters in New York, has sent
out protests against the deportation
of Belgians into the interior of Ger-
many. These protests call on the cit-
izens of the United States to make
clear their abhorrance of Germany's
policy in Belgium, and to bring pres-
sure to bear on congress, the Presi-
dent, and the German ambassador at
Washington. These protests declare
that no true American can have
knowledge of this brutal treatment of
a conquered people without a keen
feeling for the Belgians and of indig-
nation against their oppressors.
