April 9, 8 p. m.-Lecture by Prof. Van Tyne on "A Trip Down the Dan- ube," at Sarah Caswell Angell Hall. If any two questions can be said to occupy a place before all others in the minds of the students today, without a doubt they are, first the old and con- stantly present question, "How can we better Michigan Spirit?" and second, the question, "What can we do to put student affairs on a self-governing ba- sis." Any plan which may even par- tially answer either of these questions is worthy of serious consideration at the least and possibly of a trial. The club house committee is wrestling with the first problem, and in a few years hope to see it answered, and several other "Michigan-spirited Insti- tutions" are working toward the same end. But a plan has recently been suggested which-though it would not directly answer this first question- would answer the second in such a that the reaction it would be and in many respects most practica- ble-suggestion is simply to establish at Michigana "Senior Council" after the pattern of similar bodies at other American universities. A "Senior Council," as is generally known, is a body of students from th Senior classes elected by the whole student body, and having some such ffunctions as are now possessed by the faculty committee on non-athletic af- fairs. Here at Michigan this council of Seniors could consider all questions of general student interest, such as for instance, the investigation of charges of "graft," the investigations of elections, or the settlement of class disputes. At first glance this would 1 8 y P 1 . i . 5 ., ,, seem to accomplish nothing more than1 a shifting of labor from faculty to students. But there is more to the AN plan than appears on the surface and it would work out results of vital and INIIELDIER'S far reaching importance. The establishment of such a council would in the first place put the control of student institutions in the hands of the students. Undoubtedly the faculty would reserve the right of final action on all the council's decisions but this Made of selectedvelvet would not alter the fact that the stu- dents would practically control. The tanned buckskin, built on faculty at California or Cornell reserv- 1i n e s that will appeal es the right of final decision, but the decisions of the councils at these uni- strongly to the players of versities have thus far proved so wise experience is our No. 2xs. that they have been uniformly upheld Ih It has no heel pad, is and commended. This student control would act im- nilade extra long in the mediately as a stimulus to student in- wrist, is lined and slightly terest in the affairs controlled, for itd is undeniable when there is control Pitded aid strongly aid there is interest. The student interest d burably itade, thronghout, would react to the benefit of ahealthy It sells and competent administration of stu- dent affairs, which is the end every lor $2.50. one desires to see attained. A second consideration which rec-- ommends this plan is that it would djo away with the hard feeling on the part of the students that is sometimes FOR SALE AT incident to investigations and r.,gula- tions under the present regime and 11 ill) would tend to promote a closer rela tion and better feeling hctwle ishle stiident and the faculty. _______________ Lastly it can be said in favor of the plan that it has been tried and found ---- highly successful in institutions where conditions are similar to those here ".1 book if sifiifcance to the ex- at Michigan, such as, for example, perienced trial lawyer, of ifsp/'iringf California and Cornell.

Consternation reigned when an old darky with a rickety wagon drawn by a decrepit mule drove up to the door and the driver announced that he was sent by the young ladies to convey the young men to the scene of the festival. However, the men couldn't be stampeded and accepted a jolting and devious ride with good grace.
