Popular Intefest in the Council.. The exceedingly able and excellent communication which was published in yesterday's issue issue of The Mich- igan Daily is worthy of careful atten- tion. With the general propositions laid down by the 'writer we heartily agree. Self government is something inherent in American institution and in which every American is interested. We believe in the Student Council as a means of self government and stu- dent self control. Such is its purpose. Such should be its accomplishments. However, the fact remains that the Council is not accomplishing all that might be hoped for an institution of this kind. Something is wrong. Some- thing should be remedied. Those who have been about the campus for more years than they care to tell about have seen the Council decline in influence and in power. The fault may be with the student body, but if it is with the student body there is a reason for it and it is for that reason that we seek. The Council is, in our judgment, get- ting too far away from the university body. It needs to have attention call- ed to it for its own good. Interest in it needs to be aroused and this cannot be accomplished by the abstract state- ment of noble principles of uplift or admonitiong to bow down and respect the mighty. The Student Council can secure the attention and respect of the student body only by considering matters for the good of the.university. It cannot, however, expect the student body to be interested in its actions or to respect its decisions in public matters unless the students have an opportunity to see for themselves what is being done, upon what considerations action is being taken and what are the purpos- es and proposed applications of the measure. True the Council must have the co-operation of the student body but we fail to see how the students can be expected to co-operate unless the Council gives them a chance to find out what it is all about and makes them feel that it is their affair. There- fore we believe in open doors and open sessions. A body which persistently lurks in darkness cannot expect to have unbounded confidence. The Michigan Daily has not "ridicul- - ed the Council in nursery rhyme" be- cause it devoted a surplus of a gener- al fund to its general purposes. It "ridiculed" the persistent secrecy in regard to all affairs. Now the books of the Council relative to the public finances are open. So much has been accomplished and we believe that the Council is the better off for it. I un- doubtedly would be pleasanter it The Michigan Daily would mildly suggest in toothless rhetoric. It wouldn't in- duce blasphemy on the part of the Councilmen. Neither would it pro- duce results. For five years The Michigan Daily has believed that the university public wanted to know what the Council was doing, if anything. For five years it has believed that the university should have a student gov- erning body, and a strong oi~e. It has believed that the body could not be strong without the openness and frankness necessary to secure hearty co-operation. It has said so, more or less persistently. There have been no results. Neither has the Council grown nor prospered. Today we believe that public interest in the Council, and its work must be aroused or the Council will die. Our purpose is to assist in arousing that interest. We agree with our com-., municant as to the ncessity of popu- lar co-operation but we disagree with him as to the methods by which it can be accomplished. * CLASSIFIED ADS. * FOR SALE For Sale-The Law Library and office furniture of the late Charles F.
