Jewelryt SChianderer & Seyfried I 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 In the United States we are deluded into ' the conviction that certain in- evitable forces are at work in Europe towards a foreordained and deter- mined end which we clearly see.

University hL I PLAI N P SUEY -25c 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 indicate to Americans that Europe is 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 The personnel of the All-fresh Man- dolin club has just been announced.

SAYS A LONG PERIOD OF RECTER A TION WILL BE NEC. .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.

Phone 2361-W.- Adv. 18 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.

We must trust our security to our own army and the despairing ques- tion is: "Where is that army?"- Chicago Tribune. Announce Sermon of Rev. L.

Cross of the fine arts department will give an il- lustrated lecture at noon before the+ Young People's class. His subjectl 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. Prosperity of the country has not suffered by the break with Germany. Business men and manufacturers have refused to be stampeded by the possibility of our entrance into the war.

It is inconceivable that out of the thou- sands of students at the University of Michigan, but 150 have signified their desire to prepare themselves to defend their country. I can only sup- pose that the large alien population in our country is responsible for such an attitude. It is impossible that real Americans with the heritage of the "Spirit of '76" in their blood can be so deaf to appeals to their honor and patriotism. I trust you will continue your fine editorials.
