Carey NEEDLESS LOSS OF LIFE The Huron river may be the Michi- gan students' best friend. Left un- garded, it becomes his treacherous enemy. Coroners' records show that many students have been drowned while skating on the. Huron. Yet this danger has been treated with indifference. At least one drowning every winter, as the Korn tragedy a year ago, has come to be taken as a matter of course. It is about time to stop this criminal negligence. The president of the Civic associa- tion is interested. Officials of the Eastern Michigan Edison Co., are will- ing to co-operate. The Student coun- cil will investigate. But there must be immediate and concerted action,. Possibly a joint committee could most effectually carry out the work of mak- ing the river safe. The work should begin at once. Fifty dollars is a small sum when measured by the loss of a human life. Don't forget to take your opera glasses to watch the basketball games in the new gym. Some college men leave for the front to enter the ambulance service while others remain to fight it out with exams. It would seem that the suffragists are trying to make a matinee idol out of PresidentWilson. Would a comparison, of the figures on the vote on military training last year and the number of students who have responded to President Hutchins' call for students interested in the new military curriculum reveal anything on the question of natiorl defense? HOUSEHOLDERS ABLE TO LODGE LIMITED NUMBER OF GUESTS V. H. Simmons, '18, chairman of the publicity committee for the J-hop, stated yesterday that he has received notices from various household own- ers that they will be able to accom- .modate a limited number of guests who will be in this city to attend the big formal party next month. Some of these places are in league houses, while others are in private homes, that do not ordinarily keep roomers. All men who do not belong to fra- ternities should communicate with Simmons immediately and he will give them the addresses of those persons who have signified their desire to take care of visitors during that week.

McLaughlin, '85L, of the University of Chicago and former head of the history department in the University, will deliver a lecture on "After the War," at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon in room C of the Law building. Professor McLaughlin, perhaps more widely known to Michigan alumni as "Andy Mac," was head of the history department for many years before be- ing called to Chicago where he is now head of the history department. He has been editor of the American His- tory Review, head of the department of historical research of the Carnegie In- stitute, and president of the American History society. He is a forceful lec- turer and one of the chief authorities on the constitutional history of the United States. Professor McLaughlin was greatly admired by the student body during his stay here. He grew up with the University and has maintained a close touch with it since leaving Ann Arbor. He will deliver a second lecture tomor- row afternoon at 3 o'clock in room 348 of the Engineering building on the sub- ject of "England and America." Both of these lectures are open to the pub- lic.
