A personally conducted trip to for-

COMMUNICATIONS
(This paper assumes no responsibili-
ty for sentiments expressed in com-
munications.)
Editor, Michigan Daily:-
The Daily recently advocated the
adoption by the council of the follow-
ing rule governing the election of
members to that body: "No candidate
for nomination or election to the stu-
dent council shall be eligible to elec-
tion or a seat in the council by or for
whom electioneering of any sort has
been proved to have been done, with
or without his knowledge or consent."
I respectfully contend that such a
rule is impracticable and impossible
of enforcement; that even if possible
of enforcement, it would often work
injustice; and of greater moment still,
by its operation, the end sought would
not necessarily be gained.
Doubtless it will be conceded with-
out argument that as to its effective-
ness, the most the operation of such a
rule could achieve without the unani-
mous co-operation of the entire voting
body, would be to banish open and no-
torious soliciting of support. Further
than that, it would be only a moral
impediment to clandestine vote-get-
ting and those who failed to see the
justice of the rule would not feel them-
selves bound thereby. Moreover, un-
der the technical operation of the rule,
the subtler forms of campaigning
could not be covered, and expressions
of choice of ideas as to fitness, could
not be stopped.
Again, if the rule was to be constru-
ed logically, it would necessarily have
to prevent the renomination for a sec-
ond election of the party first chosen.
For the rule seeks to annul all elec-
tions in any wise associated with elec-
tioneering, and any reelection of the
same party could not but be integrally
connected with the previous campaign-
ing. Otherwise we would have the
farcical situati6n of an election of one
day declared invalid because of undue
influence, but the reelection on the
following day solemnly declared free
from the taint,-the mind of the voter
having been miraculously freed over-
night from the influence of the solici-
tation. Such an interpretation would
be absolutely unjust to the innocent
victim of over-zealous friends, and
might prevent the fittest candidate
from gaining a merited office.
Again, the theory is of course, that
the operation of the rule would me-
chanically tend toward the selection
of the best man,-a sort of survival of
the fittest. It proceeds on the assump-
tion that solicitation of votes is in-
compatible with a wise choice. I
fail to see the logic of the assumption.
In fact, my position is exactly the op-
posite. For in university classes as
large as we have here, there are not
one or two who stand out as pre-em-
inently qualified. Our judgments are
largely matters of likes and dislikes,
and many a good man could only be
elected by concerted action. Many a
good man too, would have been over-
looked had he not been called to mind
by others. I believe the tendency of
the rule would be to allow one to slip
in who would have been repudiated as
the real choice of the class, if the
matter had been openly -considered
previous to the election; and thus the
very purpose of the rule would be de-
feated.
And any inherent evil' in the old
system is not apparent, for the past
fails to reveal any notoriously unfit
men elected to the council under the

old system. Furthermore, the average
student is not easily persuaded by oth-
ers to vote against his own judgment,
and a request for support seldom re-
sults in a vote for one whom the voter
considers unfit.

"Now that the association has def-
initely decided to meet in Ann Arbor,
we must make everyone realize that
the teachers' entertainment while here
is worthy of everybody's best efforts,"
said Prof. C. 0. Davis, of the educa-
tion department yesterday. "It will
do both the city and the university a

great deal of good. It is the civic
duty of everyone living in the vicinity
of the university to co-operate with
the committee in providing.accommo-
dations. The fraternities and sorori-
ties have already given us a great
amount of encouragement and if those
we have not heard from come to our
assistance in the same generous man-
ner, the coming meeting of the state
association will be a big success."
