Clark, Jr. A MASS MEETING TO AROUSE PATRIOTISM To many thinking men of our coun- try it appears that nothing save a miracle can keep the United States from being forced to enter the present war. The nation is confronted with one of the gravest crises of its exist- ence, for it is about to enter upon a war unprepared. At Michigan little has been done to aid the country in preparing for the impending conflict, beyond the organ- ization of two divisions of naval re- serves, a batallion of infantVy, and ac-. tive Red Cross work. Not only is there lack of action, but there is lack of thought. We don't know where we stand. Some are arguing for prepared- ness, and immediate entrance into the war to defend our rights. Others are urging that our country remain at peace, drawing a contrast between the bloody battle fields of Europe and an idyllic, peaceful world state. Worst of all, there are a great many who are not arguing at all.- Possibly a mass meeting as sug- gested by a student in a thoughtful communication . in yesterday's Daily might focus attention upon the burn- ing issue of the day. At present there are too many of us at Michigan who have not come to the real question of the hour-how we may best serve our country in the present grave crisis- but are still arguing abstractly on the respective merits and demerits of war and peace, or not arguing at all. A mass meeting with a program ar- ranged not to call forth cheap jingo- ism, or rah rah flag-waving, but to arouse and promote careful thought, and true patriotic feeling would be a great thing for Michigan at the pres- ent time.

These boys come to Ann Arbor ex- pressly at the invitation of the Univer- sity and the entire student body is obligated to do everything in its power to make their visit both a pleasing and memorable one. First impressions count considerab- ly more than they should. One is apt to be guided by his first opinoins' con- cerning something new to a far great- er extent than his better and more mature judgment dictates. Hence it is up to Michigan and Michigan men to do their utmost to show our visitors real Michigan spirit. Lasting impres- sions will be formulated during the next few days and carried throughout the state. These will probably have great 'weight with friends back home. Let us see that these reports are favorable. An extra effort from all concerned is expected the rest of the week. Michigan wants these boys en- rolled here next fall. We distinctly do not want them buying one wa- tickets next fall to Ithaca, N. Y., or Champaign, Ill., or Madison, Wis. These boys are ours. Michigan greets her visitors.
