A questionaire, aiming to compile a
complete record of the distribution of
foreign students in American univer-
sities, has been prepared by Prof. J.
A. C. Hildner, of the German depart-
ment, who is chairman of the board of
advisors to foreign students. One hun-
dred and fifty copies are being printed,
and will be sent to the secretaries of
the various educational institutions
throughout the country.
Nine questions are set forth in the
letter, regarding the number of coun-
tries represented, the number of for-
eign students, the distribution of these
students in the departments, foreign
graduates, the foreign students' organ-
izations, the advisory system, the plans
for procuring room and board for these
students, special classes for the for-
eigners and their general needs.
The result will be published, and
used for reference by the boards; and
copies will be sent to the responsive
schools.

Om- Louis P. Haller.-I am heartily in
and favor of the proposed plan of direct
election of members of the board in
mis- control of athletics. I believe that the
y for present system of indirect election is
er of the most fertile source of misrepre-
7. sentation of the wishes of the student
dent body. Even admitting that there may
liana possibly be a small amount of truth
in the statement that men better versed
it of in athletic matters will be chosen by
larg- the board of directors than by the
atry, students as a whole, still I think that

SENIOR LIT CANES
WILL BEEXIBITED
Six canes of different style and wood
have been selected by the senior lit cane
committee, preparatory to a definite
choice of the stick the lit seniors will
wear this spring. Final selection will
not be made until the preference of
class members is obtained.
In order that members of the sen-
ior lit class may have opportunity to
inspect the canes, and register their
individual preference, the committee
will have the canes on exhibition on
the ground floor of University hall
from 9:00 to 12:00 o'clock on Satur-
day morning. At this time the com-
mittee will answer all questions con-
cerning the canes, and will record the
individual choice.
At a later meeting the. committee
will make the choice of the cane on
a basis of class preference. If the
opinion secured is not deemed rep-
resentative by the committee, or if too
wide a divergence of-choice is regis-
tered, the committee will make the
final selection itself,
In order that the opinion may be as
near representative as possible, every
member of the senior lit class inter-
ested in the canes is asked to inspect
them some time Saturday morning.

make up the board. In popular elec-
tions, no matter how many restric-
tions and regulations are placed about
them, it is entirely too easy to influ-
ence the voters by popular appeals'
and it would be comparatively simple
for popular campus idols, and not
competent men, to hoist themselves in-
to the offices. I believe that this would
be a consideration even though the

A large audience gathered at Hill au-!
ditorium last night to see Miss Helen
Keller, and hear the wonderful story
of a struggle against almost insur-
mountable difficulties. Miss Keller's
teacher, Mrs. Macy, explained how she
had first been able to teach the blind,
deaf, and dumb girl of seven years, by
means of the child's natural interest
for a doll, and described the twenty-
six years of work and patience neces-
sary to bring Miss Keller to her pres-
ent state of ability.
Miss Keller pleased all by her. light-
heartedness .and happiness in her af-
flictions. At the close of the lecture
the audience were given the opportuni-
ty to ask Miss Keller questions. Mrs.
Macey communicated the questions to
Miss Keller by means of placing Miss
Keller's hand on her face while she
talked.
When asked by the reporter about
her ideas on co-education, Miss Keller
replied that she thought the system
much better for women than for men.

versity Hall at 8:00 o'clock.
Northwestern, determined to repeat
the victory of last year, will send a
veteran team, composed of Owen L.
Coon, '16, Adolph M. Wickman, '15, and
Irwin H. Fathschild, '16, all of whom
have taken part in the Northwestern-
Chicago debates.
They will be met by an equally
.strong Michigan team composed of
Louis D. David, '14L, who was Ham-
ilton orator last year. Lyman S. Hul-
bert, '14L, who was Varsity debater on
last year's team, and Karl J. Mohr,
'15L, member of the university cup
team in 1911, and Varsity alternate in
1912.
The other Michigan team, the mem-
bers of which are Sylvan S. Grosner,
'14L, Werner W. Schroeder, '14, and
Samuel Witting, -'15, will meet the
strong Chicago team, composed of
Harry A. Rosenberg, '13-'15L, Arnold
R. Bear, '12-'14L, and Benjamin F.
Bills, '11-'14L, all of whom are Phi
Beta Kappa men.
"Both of the teams representing
Michigan are strong and fully up to
the standard of our previous teams,"
said Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood of the
oratory department. "The debaters
have been carefully drilled and have
their subjects well in hand."
Michigan has had a decided advan-
tage over her opponents in former con-
tests, having won eleven of the six-
teen debates with Chicago and eight of
the thirteen with Northwestern.
The question to be debated is: "Re
solved, That the states should estab-
lish a schedule of minimum wage for
unskilled labor; constitutionality con-
ceded." Michigan will have the affirm-
ative side against Northwestern and
the negative against Chicago.
The local debate will be held under
the auspices of the Oratorical associa-
tion, admittance being by course tick-
etrs or single admission of 25 cents.
Regent Junius E. Beal will preside.

dent opinion and feel directly respon-
sible to the student body.
Albert C. Fletcher.-I think direct,
election of student members of the
board in control of athletics is a good
thing from the standpoint that it elimi-
nates the possibility of the formation
of rings.
H. Beach Carpenter.-Despite the
popular representation argument, I det
not believe that the results attained
under the proposed system of direct
election of members of the board in
control would be satisfactory. To pick
a student at random off the campus,
and drop him more or less awe strick-
en into the midst of a group of alumni
and faculty men, experienced in athlet-
ic management, would be to make a
farce of the flag-waving, democratic
theories advanced by those who favor
the new plan. The man who can pass
out the glad hand-shake is not usually
the one who is most efficient.

student know about the qualifications
of a certain man for holding an im-
portant athletic office? Would it not
be far better to leave their selection
in the hands of a competent board,
such as is now the case?
Walter Emmons, Varsity Baseball
Manager.-No doubt there are many
advantages to be gained by direct vote
for board in control. As there will be
no members elected this year, my ideas
are not selfish or personal. I sincere-
ly believe that with very few excep-
