D&D 5th Rogue with short bow

Looking at the free D&D 5th edition starter rules I noticed that the rogue is proficient with a hand crossbow, but given as starting equipment a short bow.  Anyone know if in the actual PHB they give rogues proficiency with short bows?  I am finding lots of secondary sources that imply this, but don't have access to anything canonical.

Found my answer - a short bow is a Simple Weapon, and they have proficiency with all Simple Weapons.
