SENIOR TRADITIONS
Each year the senior classes of the
University decide upon some distinc-
tive class emblem which may be worn
or carried during the final weeks of
the year. Canes, mustaches, hats, and
tops have at various times been
chosen as distinctive senior customs.
None of these customs have remained
in vogue for more than five years at
most, but the desire for some such
emblem has persisted.
This desire for a special privilege
for the seniors has become a tradi-
tion, although the exact nature of the
privilege has undergone many
changes.
The aim of such privileges, al-
though often unconscious, is to draw
the seniors of the University closer
together' during their final weeks of
campus life. This is a worthy aim,
and its worthiness accounts for the
persistence of the tradition. The in-
adequacy of the methods which have
been tried in the effort to make the
tradition effective is responsible for
the frequent changes in methods.
None of these individual privileges
have satisfied the desire for a closer
tie between seniors.
The most direct method of drawing
University men together is by estab-
lishing a common meeting place and
time of meeting. Later in the year
the senior sings accomplish this pur-
pose in large degree, but these sings
have invariably been held out of doors
in the past.
Why not have an indoor sing?
Surely we all are beginning to realize
that we are soon to leave the Univer-
sity. Why must we put off singing
our Michigansongs until after warm
weather comes?
Defenseless America

have concluded that this end inevit-
ably will be favorable to our interests
and prospects and that the progress
towards it need not concern us ma-
terially.
A realization that there is no in-
evitability of progress or result might
produce a totally different American
opinion, one both apprehensive and
wisely precautionary.
The revolution in Russia ought to

In a state of fluidity, moved by un-
certain currents. It is possible, not
probable but possible, for the revolu-
tion to weaken Russia's military re-
sistance to Germany.
Whatever withdrew Russia from the
war would affect our prospects. We
have made Germany an enemy, and
it remains with Germany to say when
-and how much-an enemy in action.
The collapse of all or part of success-
ful resistance to Germany in Europe
will expose the United States, with
its burden of riches and its burden of
hate, to whatever plans may be
worked out in the practical German
mind.
We deal with our prospects as if
European prospects were alteady
clearly defined and a result entirely
benevolent to our interests was a mat-
ter merely of time. We deal with
the future not even - as wisely as
gamblers, but as unthinkingly as very
small children.
If we were strong in developed, not
potential, military resources, we could
count ourselves secure against the re-
sult in Europe. But all we do is to
expose ourselves more definitely from
time to time to the consequences, and
we do nothing to prepare to face

.ARY AFTER WAR
25c
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
If, as Mr. Elkind says, the Russian
people are so strongly opposed to war,
the conquest of Constantinople hardly
seems a sufficient excuse for entering
upon the present war. It is a -less
worthy motive than that of self-de-
fense, which actuated the other mem-
bers of the entente, France, and Eng-
land.
And as for Mr. Elkind's prediction
that after the struggle the nations
would join against England, I beg
leave to differ with him on that score.
After the struggle and for many years
to come, the nations of Europe will
hardly be in condition either phy-
sically or economically to join against
anyone. A long period of recupera-
tion will be required before they are
able to form any sort of offensive
alhance.
Moreover, Mr. Elkind should speak

WORKING ONE'S WAY THROUGH
In the eyes of the people off the
campus the man who "works his way
through school" is a hard-grubbing
individual who crawls into his attic'
room after a day of toil and tries to
keep his weary eyes open long enough
to study the next day's lessons by the
flickering candle-light.
But those of us who are better ac-
quainted with the nian know that he
is often as not one who gets out of
college life the most that it has to
offer. He doesn't sacrifice every pleas-
ure, he has many friends, and he has
the joy that comes with a feeling of
self-reliance.
The number of men who are making
their own living while they gain an
education can never be definitely as-
certained. One of your close associates
may be in that class, and yet you
may never know that fact until some-
day you learn it by accident. For
the practice has become so common
that no one thinks of parading his
earning capacity as something unique.
Working one's way means less
leisure and a certain degree of sac-
rifice, but there are many compensat-
ing advantages. The man who is
wholly or partly on his own resources
during his college career will not in
most cases regret that fact after grad-
uation.-Ohio State Lantern.
"If-I-Gain-You" is vieing with "If-
them.
If Russia should collapse under
revolution, if Great Britain should be
much weakened by submarine attacks,
if France should fail because of lack
of supplies, the United States would
be in the first line whether it had a
soldier to put there or not. We can-
not afford to trust our security to
the assumption that Russia will be
stronger now than before or to the
assumption that Great Britain will
maintain control of the seas.
We must trust our security to our
own army and the despairing ques-
tion is: "Where is that army?"-

Lack of sufficient reserve supplies
of farm products is now blamed for
the prevailing high prices of food
commodities. The government in a
recent report takes this view of the
situation, and gives statistics show-
ing that there was less than one half
as much wheat, and only about two-
thirds as much corn and oats to start
the present year as normally. It is
imperative that grain crops this year
be larger than ever before if prices
are to stick to even the present high
level, it says.
