EDITORIAL COMMENT Yesterday morning The Michigan Daily ran a story to the effect that 10 (less than a quorum) members of the student council out of a membership of 23 were present on Thursday night at the council investigation of the Sat- urday riots. The council objects to let- ting the world know, just how efficient it is, during sessions that all Michigan is interested in. So the council will put a stop.to such stories, it will go into executive session and then the public will not know what is going on. It will not know how square a deal the accused students are getting. The council was forced to adjourn without being able to accomplish any- thing, there was no quorum present. The Michigan Daily printed the facts, but the student council has taken care that The Daily will not print the facts from now on. The student represen- tative body becomes a secret society. The council becomes a court (but no other known court closes its doors) and refuses to give the facts until ev- erything has been done, according to its own discretion. The council will refuse to give publicity to the students who are punished. Editorially, The Michigan Daily has stood behind the council in its inves- tigations. As a fair newspaper, we printed the facts of Thursday night's deliberations. Unhappily the facts showed the council to be a thoroughly inefficient organization. Further crit- icism, we refuse to make at this time, but in the future we will take occas- ion to show that this is not even the fourth or fifth time. that the council has failed to measure up to the needs- of the campus in times of stress. The council claims that The Daily has misrepresented the facts, but the secretary failed to put his hands on any part of our story that was inaccu- rate. le brushed us aside, with the statement that the tone of the ar- ticle- made fun of them. Our justifica- tion is, if this is so, that the council deserved to be made fun of.. WILL CONTEST FOR INTERCLASS HONOR Contenders for the campus champion- ship in football took their final work- out yesterday afternoon and both ag- gregations are sure they will .be able to land the hono.r in this morning's battle. The fight will be between the senior engineers and the junior med- ics,'the ring will be south Ferry field and the time is set for 9:00 o'clock. Judging from the draw of last Sat- urday, the scuffle will be anything but a walk-away for the winner. The teams are the most evenly matched elevens that ever fought for the imaginary flag, in the history of class football. Very few changes have been made in the lineups and it is probable that the same men that faced each other in the first attempt to settle the dispute will again try to outwit and outbck the same opponents. The plays of both teams have been revised, howev- er, and it is believed the players will have little advantage on account of having faced the same men on a previ- ous occasion.- I NAUG !RAT'ES NEWIV SY STE ~I OF CHOOSING' ASSOCATE EITORS Sen ior Pictures May Be Taket Now; a Deposit of $2. 0 Will Be Required.

Hutchins has of- fered Major General Leonard Wood, chief of tsaff of the United States ar- my, for the establishment of a summer military training school for students the use of the large university tract in the upper peninsula.' General Wood will address the students, outliniu camp plans, either prior to Christma recess or early in January. President Hutchins returned yester- day from New York, where he, with seven other university presidents, held a conference with General Wood tc discuss training camps for students this summer. It was determined tha at least four camps of instruction should be held: one in New England a second in the middle west, probabl in Michigan, a third in the south, pro;- ably in Virginia, and a fourth on the Pacific coast. The great success of th two experimental camps of last sum- ner seemed to justify the extensior of the work. At the time of General Wood's corn ing, literature descriptive of the move- ment, will be distributed among the students, and ample opportunity giv- en for learning, in detail, in regard t the benefits that a residence at one 0 the-camps will afford. DIPHTHERIA VISITS CITY; No STU'DE NT IS AFF'ECT I). Several cases of diphtheria amon" residents have been reported to tiu Ann Arbor health officers. No stu-- dents have been afflicted as yet., This is the first recurrence of di h- theria since the spring of 1 l when several students were stricken by th malady. The disease then first made its appearance in the form of sore throats. Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city health o fi- cer believes that there is no need fo sudden alarm, as all the cases are un- der control, as well as isolated. H rad r le IDonates $100 to '"Technic."' Otto J.

Of this amount, one dol- iar is to apply on any extra regular portrait the student may wish to have :made; the other dollar is to go to the Michiganensian for the naklng ci cuts.

''a -s soc 3 t ri ~ e rc .t : i itafit i lt n i g . At general meeiaj of the Ann Ar- bor civi association Thursday even- ng, a special ommittee, cosisting of Prof.31in' eS .. -ttee - es and Rebert T 'rane, e f nle poltiti al s ince depart- nment, and Professor Cordon W. Stoner, cif the law department, reported on the general subject of the commission form of government. Professor Reeves explained the cr- 'in and history of the movement and traced its progress and development from its start in New Orleans in 1870 to its present advancement. "Too many oflieers are being elect- ed," said Professor Reeves. "We need a commission which ha's a right to levy :taxes, spend money, and pass ordian- ces. The commission should be in- trusted with all powers, but all those powers can be withdrawn by a popular vote, and failure to act when the peo- ple want. action can be remedied by lhe people themselves." Professor Stoner re'ated the pro- diUre of a managcrial form of city fovernment. This form is now in use at Dayton, Ohio. The practicability of this form is proved by the fact that the co.aission, together with its man- ager n.ay be recalled at any time that that govrmncent is found to neglect its administrative prercgative. L. E. Crossman, graduate, will read ? p:aper on the commission form of governmecnt in Michigan at the next meeting of the association. It is pos- sib!. that students in municipal gov- ernment will be given an opportunity to, assist the committee and receive credit for work done in the regular course. PjNN STlDEN'rS M3EFT AT ION TO PLAN StI(IETY, At a meeting held Thursday after- noon at the Union, a number of Penn- sylvania students laid the fcundations for a Pennsylvania club. Sentiment favored the formation of such an or- ganization and a temporary commit- tee was appointed to draft plans, which will be submitted at an early date. Udcmrft Snds lini'itation to Foreigners and Elct T iwo to honorary Membership. .Mlnbers of the Cosmopolitan club will be the guests of the Detroit Ad- craft club, a'social organization of the leading advertisers of the City of De- treit, at a banquet some Thursday next January. The invitation was ex- 'ndcd through William W. Welsh, '12, ferner president of the Cosmopolitar. c:ub, and C. P. Wang, '14, member of the board of directors of the same or- ganization, who spoke at the month- ly banquet of the Detroit society Thursday evening under the auspices of the University extension lectures. Both were elected unanimously as lhcnorary nrembers of the Adcraft club after the mfunction. Welsh gave his lecture on "The Pan- ama Car-al; and Some Phases of For- eign Trade Relations Usually Over- looked" after the Detroit banquet, and was well receive l. Wang was then called upon to speak on "The Adver- isin; Pcssibilitie in China." A discussion followed the lectures as to the means by which foreign trade relation may be extended. It wat suggested that an international soci- ety may be organized in Detroit, con- sisting of persons who are interested in foreign countries, and foreign stu- dents at Michigan. The club, whery organized, will also be the Detroit 1hecad quarters of the Michigan foreign' students. A committee will probably be appointed to further the plans after the trip in Detroit. About 30 members of the Cosmopoli- tan club will make the trip to Detroit in January. The delegation will pre- 1:are an elaborate program for the af- fair. Representatives of the 25 na- tions represented at Michigan will give three nij~nte talks. A musical pro- gram featuring characteristic airs of ifferent nationalities will be present- (d and games particular to each coun- dry played. Faculty advisors to for- eign students will also be invited. DECLARES AGAINST RACE DISTINCTION "We are all neighbors regardless of distinctions in religion, race and weaIlth," declared Jacob A.

NO I)E ?IN'iTE ACTION TAKEN ON IAN QUIZZED LAST NI1T lisrieprestntation c Proceedings" in V 'Ih Daily fihen as Excuso For S' re - )eetings. By a vote of 13 to 3, the student council last night, voted to continue its investization of the Saturday night riot in executive sessions. The fol- lowing members voted for the expul- sion of all non-council individuals from the meetings: Quinn, MlcCoy, Kohler, Crismore, Farley, Ricketts, Helm, Fellows, Blanshard, Daniels, Allway, l3axter, Lippincott, The three men who voted against such action were Fletcher, Carpenter and lulburt. Seven members of the council were absent: Keliher, Books, McFarlano, Gault, Tate, Scott and Paterson. The action taken, which puts a cloak of secrecy around council proceedings, marks a return to the methods of the body of two years ago. The agitation against such methods at that time, re- sulted in an investigation of the meth- ods of formation of the council, and its procedure in its meetings, and it ter- minated in the adoption of a new con- stitution under which the present council is acting. The action was taken because of the publication of the story of the coun- cil's actions in yesterday morning's Daily. The following is the resolution which was passed unanimously: "That the student council, at a meet- ing continued from Thursday night, voted to go into executive session in the further investigation of the riot which"occurred on Saturday. "This action follows a discussion of thie apparent hostile attitude of The Daily in its Friday morning's issue. The council feels that its action was -misrepresented, and the purpose of the ex-coutive session is 'not to keep its actions in undue secrecy, but to avoid further misrepresentation. Signed, CYRIL QUINN, President, T. F. McCOY, Secretary. IN RiOT PROI Will Report on Senior Traditions. President Waldo Fellows of the sen- ior lit class, has appointed a commit- tee which is to report on senior cus- toms at other colleges. The commit- tee, consisting of Elwood Johnson, chairman, Felix Church, Gleed Miller and Kirk Porter, is in correspondence with other universities and expects to make a report on some custom that will suit Michigan's need. MICHIGAN MAY GET' NOTRE DAME GAME According to Indianapolis newspa- pers, Notre Dame is making overtures to Michigan for a football game to be staged next fall at South Bend, Ind. The article further states that the Michigan authorities are considering the matter. As a matter of fact, the Michigan athletic office is flooded at this time of the year with letters relative to games for next year's schedule. If the athletic authorities have received a proposal from Notre Dame, it is not probable that it will be given prefer- ence over 'other offers which may, come in. In 1109 Notre Dame, using men sup- posed to be ineligible under Michi- gan's ruiings, defeated the Wolverines 11 to 3. In 1910 Notre Dame was tak- eri off the Michigan football schedule a few days before the game was to be to the present needs of the child. 1 M.

Previous to the lecture, a dinner was given at the Whitney hotel in lion- or of the noted lecturer. Those who attended were Profs. Thomas C. True- blood and C. H. Cooley, A.

('OSIOPOLITAN CLUB WILL PRESENT LECTURE COURSE The Cosmopolitan club at its meet- ing last night decided to present a public lecture course and men of na- tional repute and members of the fac- ulty will give addresses on different phases of the cosmopolitan movement. The program will be announced in the near future and it is planned to have the first lecture before the Christ- mas vacation. Mr. Rasaen Bonilla, -father of Pres- ident John Ponilla, was unable to be present but instead of his address on South America he brought hearty greetings from the Corda Fratres of South America. Seven new members were also admitted to the club. - be held next Tuesday night. WILL COMPETE IN BIG RACE TODAY (Special to The Michigan Daily.) NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Michigan's team of inexperienced cross country runners will face the highest grade competition to be found in the coun- try, here tomorrow, in the annual in- tercollegiate hill and dale race. This championship is to be fought for by 208 entrees from 14 different colleges. Princeton, Harvard, Coiu:u- bia, Colgate, Michigan, Penn State, Yale, Brown, Syracuse, Dartmouth, Cornell, Pennsylvania, and two small- er institutions are to be represented. Harvard is considered the favorite in the betting, in spite of her recent defeat by Yale in a duel match. Both Pennsylvania and Cornell have strong teams this year, and are sure to prove factors in the contest. Princeton, us- ually weak in this department of ath- letics, is reported to have the strong- est aggregation of distance runners in years, and looms up in the figuring on this ground. 'Coach Rowe and his squad of six Wolverine competitors arrived in this city this morning, and were out Iook- ing over the Van Courtland park course.
