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. As I CAMPAIGI WITHIN THE CANDI -o- Football Ma John T.

Interviews with the men follow: 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 Vie aim should be not so much to select r of men who are athletic experts, as to as a choose those who will represent stu- p I, com ectricit: ) memb is in '9 3, presi rn Ind '85. 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. caliber of men who should properly 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 nomination of candidates were taken The sixteenth annual series of tests between the members of theI tral Debating League, Michigan, cago, and Northwestern, will be tonight, one Michigan team mee MAY A STIRRED BY HELEN KLLEI C Chicago at Chicago, while the other I I- VI 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. and '95. professo ersity, w will dispute with Northwestern in Uni- 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.

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. Morris A. Milligan, Varsity Football Manager.-I do not favor the pro- posed plan. Charles Crowe, Manager Varsity --- out of the hands of the whole student body and vested in a small and se- lected board. What does the average 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- (Continued on page four) Edgar C.
