PROGRESS IN AVIATION.
MICTIIGAN

The significance of the progress In
aviation is not to be found so much in
the flight of Bleriot across the Eng
lish channel, in the successful tests OF
the Wright machine. or in the forth
coming contests at Rheims, as 1t is in
the less conspicuous events. A New
York firm advertises its ability to sup
ply aeroplanes to order in As days. An
other New York firm establishes an
aerial garage on the roof of build
ing. A Dayton man buys balloon as
a present for his 1S-year-old daughter.
These and other instances, making due
allowance for the element of fiction, in
dictate a growing belief in the general
utility of aeroplanes and dirigible bal
looms and a growing conviction that
they are adaptable for other than mil
itary purposes. The military idea has
been dominant in all thus far attempt
ed in aviation, but now the Wright
brothers, the mosvconservative OF the
successful aviators, suggest the use
of aeroplanes in carrying mails. and
men OF wealth are contemplating the
possible use of the air as an exciting
recreation.

which war is made. When Dewey's
ships were burning powder by firing
at targets off the coast of Asia, the
commanders of the vessels under some
flags were disposed to be amused. But
when Deweys guns were called upon
to go UP against the real thing in war
the skill obtained in the mock can

TOWING down
BLACK FRIDAY
WILL THE USUAL BLOODY FRAY
MARK THIS HISTORIC
DAY AGAIN?
DEAN COOLEY'S ADVICE.
There Is an Effort Now to Stop the
Rush in Which Many Are Annually
Injured at the U. of M.

Dean Cooley met his sophomore
classes in the engineering department
and gave them a quiet little talk, as
one man would talk to another, on the
duty they owed to the institution. He
said in part:
You are a part of one of the great
est educational institutions on earth
and there is something for you to con
slider beside your own selfish pleas.
ure. You are one of the university
family, look out for the family honor,
be careful of the family credit. Have
a little pride about your family, and
whatever stunt you do, be sure you
are doing nothing that you will be
ashamed of doing after the excite
ment of the moment has passed
Remember the eyes OF the entire
state of Michigan are upon the uni
versity and you, and that it is not
pleasant to have yellow stories circu-
lated about your university. Each do
your share toward making these
stories impossible The hazing of
some years past has been disgrace
full"
Since the posting Of the faculty's
ultimatum in regard to the annual
class rush at the university, many
plans have been submitted by stu
dents and instructors to give class
rivalry an outlet that will be safe
from gore. The most acceptable plan
presented is that of Dean Cooley OF
the engineering department, and IT
bids fair to take the place of the an
nual Black Friday disgraces.
His plan is to have a pole rush as
lance from the pole, to prevent the
congregation of the defenders, a
strong fence should be built to pre-
vent an assault by massed horde OF
the attacking party. which in past
years has been the most dangerous
feature of the rush The offensive
party must obtain the flag within a
limited time.
The contest is to be held on the
afternoon of a day still to be known
as "Black Friday" either on the
campus or in an adjoining field. The
fence shall be permanent structure
upon which IL shall be the sole privi-
lege of the victorious party to roost.
II hope healthy sentiment will be
built up around this fence" concludes
Dean Cooley.
NEsU iionere class at q meeting
pledgdd itteIf as body to allow no
more hazing Of freshmen until the
day of the Black Friday rush. and to
do none thereafter. If the significant
glances that passed around as this
measure was adopted mean anything,
Black Friday will be a memorable day
TO any freshman who doesn't lock
himself in his room on that lay.
The day after President Hurley Of
the student council issued the order
that all freshmen should wear the
traditional gray caps, there was a
land-office business in local clothing
stores. Eight hundred of the lids
were sold in one day. Now practical
ly every freshie seen on the campus
wears one.
