Notre Dame and Michigan will
clash in what is expected TO be one
of the closest and fastest indoor
track meets Of the season at Ann
ArbOr tonight
Coach ROckne and a squad OF IA
men will leave Niles on the Wolver-
inc special of the Michigan Central

make the trip 20 Ann Arbor are as
follows: Capt. Miller, Mulligan, Nc
DOnOugh, Meehan, Kasper, Call
NOOnan. Starrett, Kirkland. Douglas.
DOnahue. Yeager, Edgren and Bach
man.
Two events that were run off in
the Illinois meet last Saturday are
not scheduled for tonight, the two
mile run and the broad jump. The
dash will be shorter than the one
at Illinois, the distance being only
SO yards.
Because of the fact that there
will be no two mile run. II is likely
that Coach Rockne will shift his
distance men around considerably,
although he has made no. definite
statement in that regard. Pete
Noonan. who ran the two mile at
Illinois. will undoubtedly appear in
the mile tonight and Eddie"
Meehan, who copied the mile at
Urbana, may team il with Kas-
per in the half mile.

Influence of the Times.

Literary modes are like the modes
of fashion. True, literature repre-
sents the great issues occupying the
minds of the people. Not always,
however, does it so represent the in
terests of the age; for example, the
romanticism of the period following
the French revolution and periods of
the same kind in ancient times, says
the Columbia State. The Greek thought
produced Aristotle, but Aristotle had
something to do with it himself. The
followers of Aristotle followed the ex-
ample of great man. Such fashions
have at all times been characteristic
of literature. Or take the present age.
Is the literature of the age dictated by
n zeitgeist? Only vaguely can one as
sert that it is so. With the war, how
ever, there came in new interests and
dangers which have affected man. The
condition was made by man and one
assertion by someone brings down an
other so that while, figuratively, the
times may be said to be speaking, the
men are simply following a fashion.
If zeitgeist is important in determining
thought, the spirit surely was for dis
armament and peace, for such was the
spirit of leaders Of thought. However,
other individuals thinking otherwise
had larger followings and the political
power to WELD that influence, and the
war was the result.

The shipping board has adopted the

schooners were seized on the Pacific

Law Regulating Germs.

New York state has a new law

or murderous purposes, and to keep
track of all such media of disease in
the state.
