Seattle, March 14.-Prof. Colin V. Dyment, head of the department of journalism, urges that students make. more of a study of the various lives around them, according to the Wash- ?ngton Daily. That students should not read in trains and street cars, but should spend their time in conversation with str angers, is Professor Dyment's opin- ion. This would give journalists a bi oader view of life. Library to Purchase British Papers Purchase of the British parlia- mentary papers from 1914 to 1916. has been authorized by the LibraryI committee. The Library will also en- ter an annual subscription for the documents from January, 1917. These papers correspond to the papers is- sued by congress. They will arrive about June. Dancing classes and private lessons at the Packard Academy. tti Prof. H. E. Riggs gave an interest- ing account of the history of the en- gineering school of Michigan and the work of some of the more prominent alumni in his talk before the fresh engineer assembly yesterday morning. His talk was limited mostly to structural and transportation engi- eering, giving some of the problems that came to engineers and showing how failures such as the Quebec bridge accident not only cost the en- gineer his reputation, but caused mil- lions of dollars loss and the loss of the lives of 155 men. In the business meeting before the talk by Professer Riggs, a letter was read from E. C. Warriner, father of Paul Warriner, thanking the 1920 en- gineers for their flowers and sym- pathy. The chairman of the social commit- tee reported that the dance which has been under consideration for some time would probably be held Friday evening, March 30, in Barbour gym. WOMEN TO MEET AT ANNUAL LUNCHEON FOR THIRD TIME For the third time in the history of the Women's league, the women of the campus will be given an oppor- tunity to meet at the annual lunch- eon at 12 o'clock Saturday, March 31, in Barbour gymnasium. Patriotism will be the watchword among the speakers, and the decora- tions will be suggestive of "Uncle Sam." Following the luncheon, the Junior play will give its first public performance in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. Girls Major in Baseball at Oklahoma Yorman, Okla., March 14.-Sliding headfirst into second base is a com- mon occurrence for the members of the Uaiversity of Oklahoma girls' baseball team. The girls meet for practice every afternoon and have ac- quired as much agility as their broth- ers in the lingo of the diamond, as well as in the complete execution of its innumerable tricks. A PREMIUM ON CLASS INTEREST Almost every election of class of- ficers on the campus in the past few years has resulted in general dissat- isfaction and thinly veiled charges of peanut politics. Recrimination for this state of affairs has been bandied to and fro but it seems that the real blame must eventually fall on the electors rather than on the elected. If there has been vote-swapping and peanut politics in Michigan's class elections, it is certainly a condition to be regretted, but regret will not remedy tthe situation. There must be a. greater interest in the filling of class offices by the great bulk of the students. Meetings at which candi- dates for these offices are nominated are notoriously ill-attended. It is a fact that a dozen votes will nine times out of ten place a man in nomination. When election time comes, less than 30 per cent of the class appears at the polls, thus in both cases mak- ing the conditions most favorable for railroading candidates into office. The only way to break up government by cliques is to have a large enough electoratle to offset the qentralized force of these smaller bodies. If the Student council were to en- act a resolution which recognized no election or nomination as legal in which a certain percentage of the members of the class had not voted and keeping such offices vacant until candidates ;hod been so lnominated and elected, much might be done to make the path of the cheap politician more difficult, if the percentage were placed high enough. In this way a premium would be placed on the interest of the class. If the class wanted organization, it would be forced to earn it by turning out a majority of its members.,at the polls. If it can not stir up interest it must suffer the penalty of being without officers. BE CAREFUL In order to check the serious epi- demic of scarlet fever and measles which has filled the University hos- pital's contagious ward and quaran- tined two fraternity and several pri- vate houses, students and others must exercise extreme care. No good reason for the epidemic has been given beyond the fact that an unusual number of cases are pre-;, valent all over the country. Some of the local cases are known to have been contracted in Detroit. Health authorities state that the drinking water is safe, the darkened color be- ing due to the heavy sediment from surface drainage coincident with the us sensational super-sophisticated Slavic spies, but thrilling trackers of titled Teutons. Smallpox kept them out of Ypsi- lanti and now scarlet fever is doing its best to keep them out of Detroit. And yet they say the life of a col- lege man hath not trials and tribula- tions. With a combination of dancing and basketball at its next party, the Wom- en's league has come forth nobly to solve the question of Michigan ath- letics. Oberlin seniors who make the grade of B or better are to be excused from examinations 'in June. But they aren't the ones who are worrying. FETTERDEFENDS POSTERS SAYS PURPOSE OF PICTURES IS EDUCATIONAL; SHOW WHAT FOREIGN STUDENTS FACE. Editor, The Michigan Daily: As one closely associated with the Univeristy Y. M. C. A. I wish to say a few things concerning the matter of the war posters. In the first place, I do not deny the fact that to the author of "War Poster Displeases" these mural decc orations of the social room of the Un- iversity Y. M. C. A. do make that portion of Lane hall look like a re- cruiting station for the British army. His article gives evidence of that. However, I would like to point out that W. F. S., '18, while a very clear writer, is not a good observer nor an interpreter of the methods of the association. On the walls of the social room hang not only posters from Eng- land and Canada, but also very artis- tic posters from France. These later are inscribed in French, and that may be the reason for their not being un- derstood. There are also two small pictures portraying the German sold- ier, one as he enjoys a short furlough, the other as he stands on sentinel duty on a cold winter day. The posters were secured by the architect of the building, who wrote to the different consuls for them. It was impossible to get from the Ger- man consul anything more than the two small pictures. The purpose of the posters is edu- cational. They suggest a bit of con- temporary life in Europe, and portray what students in the warring countries are called upon to face. A little"useof the imagination, added to a little com- mon sense, ought to make it clear that the association has no other aim in view. lowever, we are glad for the crit- icism. It is at least straight-forward and frank, and indicates no doubt that the only way to remain neutral these days is to say nothing, think nothing, and do nothing. We appreciate the criticism much I more than the method used by a cer- tain vandal who this week wantonly attempted to destroy two of the post- ers which are the property of the as- sociation, aid in so doing committed a state's prison offense. Unfortunate- ly, or perhaps fortunately for him, he did not sign his initials to his protest. We venture to remark that the perpet- rator of that act would be the last one to volunteer to fight under his own flag, and the first, if made a con- script to run from the enemy. N. C. FETTER, JR. REPORT EXGEAD ITALY HAS SUFFICIENT FOOD THOUGH COAL SUPPLY IN THAT COUNTRY IS SHORT. Editor; The Michigan Daily: In regard to the report from Wash- ington of March 12, to the effect that Italy is on her last legs, owing to the food shortage, I beg to state that the report is greatly exaggerated. A letter received yesterday from a relative in Italy states that coal sup- ply is short, and sugar is also scarce, but that all other food is plentiful, though dear. They have two meatless lays a week, and three days on which the pastry shops are closed. Eggs are plentiful now, and there is no lack of fresh vegetables. This relative quotes a letter from a soldier at the front which states that the treatment from superior officers is -without reproach and the food is plentiful and good. I am a subscriber to the "Corriere Della Sera," an Italian daily paper, and I find no mention of a food shortage or any intention to weaken toward Austria or Germany. In fact, quite to the contrary.
