Tom, our lithographist and a man of the most dependable ideas, is com- pletely taken by the "direct" election of student members to the board in control of athletics. He argued with no small amount of reason that The Michigan Daily should take up this idea and see it voted on by the stu- dents. However, we have held our- selves, despite his temptations and our own sympathies. Tom is essentially a democrat. He believes that the students should be called upon frequently to defend their rights, and that the rights of direct representation are certainly rights worthy of attention. He says that the student members of the board in control are supposed to represent stu- dent opinion and vote according to student opinion. With the exception of the present board, student opinion has never been represented on the board in control. Tom says that this is due to allowing a small body of men to elect the student representatives. He says that a clique usually results, and that there has been a flagrant swapping of votes in the past. It is no wonder that the overwhelming stu- dent vote oflast year in favor of the support of the band by the athletic as- sociation, went for naught, undefend- ed by even the student members of the board. By a great upheaval last spring the "athletic" ring was defeat- ed, but there's no telling when it will get into control again. He thinks that we can best settle the whole matter and at the same time give the stu- Office supplies of all kinds at WAHR VS 2 for 25 cents TROIS BEST PRODU+CT according to his faith in democracy and so according to his faith in stu- dent government. PLATFORMS. The question of direct elections to the board in control certainly war- rants student attention. It has been complained against for years, but nev- er put up before the students for gen- eral discussion, or made a campaign issue. In answer to Vig. Com. we will take the matter before the students and, if possible, make a campaign issue of the direct election scheme. Our sym- pathies are with the direct election party, because we are democratic and believe in student government. However, we are not blindly parti- zan in this matter and our columns will be open to those who disagree with us, for a full and complete dis- cussion of the matter. The main objection to the direct election is made by those who fear that a general election will not pro- duce as good a type of man for the board as the present small body choice. But it would be unfair for us to attempt to state the other side. We leave that to any champion of their doctrines who care to communicate with us. In the meantime, we will go out among the students in an effort to register opinion. For Wednesday's issue, arrangements will be made to have the candidates announce their views on the subject and state their platform.
