It should measure up to anything of its kind that might be produced by any particular class committee. This may be said with especial force of the lower and entering classes. And if no more than the equal of some of the present upper class constitutions, its adoption by these classes should be considered because of the weight of their action in establishing precedent As instances of its worth we point out that it provides for an efficient admin- istration and auditing of class finances. upon a basis such as few at least of the classes have so, far adopted; and makes definite provision for the eligi- bility to membership of special stu- dents, a generally more or less tangled matter. Mere uniformity of class constitu- tions, whether: this or some other equally as good be taken for standard, has something in its favor. It would not insure, as no degree of formal or- ganization could ever of itself insure,. greater unity' of sentiment, or interest in the student body as a whole, but it might well be of service in that direc- tion. The need for closer union is a marked one at Michigan The adoption of the proposed. constitution looks toward this end, and it is commendable because of it. It also looks and equally commiend- ably, to the development of unity in the larger university body by providli g sensible and effective means for strengthening the connection between class organizations and the University Alumni Association. Finally we are pleased with the atti- tude of this instrument toward the old question of "emoluments of. office." There are to be none such "except by vote of the class." This we think, rep-. resents an advance in student seni ment and ideals.

The Student Council is' to "start the new year right" by presenting to' the various classes of all departments a uniform class constitution' for their a'ioption. We believe this to be a good thing. The merit of such a constitution does not lie, primarily at least, in the uniformity of class government for which it provides. It lies, if at all, in the character of the instrument itself. We have that instrument before us. At the outset it represents the work of a committtee of able men, experienced in class management and affairs, who have spent much time and labor, and secured "and considered the opinions of other able men in the course of its construction. It seems to be complete, incorporaing the necessary and best ele- ments of present and former class con- stitutions. It outlines, furthermore, new features bespeaking advances in l No Balloting Necessary at Meeting. of Athletic Association. Owing to the fact that the election of the three men to fill the vacancies in the athletic association will not be contested, it has been decided to do *away' with the actual balloting and in its place hold a general meeting of' the~ association. General business, the hearing of reports, and the formal elec- tion of three men will be taken up. The meeting, which will be open to all members of the association, will be called at half past ten Saturday morning in University hall. Trhe re- ports of the outgoing secretary and treasurer will be read and action tak- en on them. Any general business may be brought up. It is probable that a motion will be made to have the sec- retary cast a unanimous ballot for the three candidates as their election is now only a matter of form. Coolidge, Hunter,. and Shaw will be the men elected. There was a meeting of the board of control yesterday afternoon when va- rious matters were taken up. Nothing of importance was done, however, ex- cept-the culling of the meetingSatur- day.. Webster Will Hold Banquet Saturday. The fifty-second annual banquet of the Webster society will be held Saturday evening at the Hotel Allenel. The list of speakers and other, details which have not yet been decided will appear later.
