THE MICHIGAN DAILY 1 i :... LComunication Editor.-The Michigan Daily: It appears to me that the present situation as regards the seemingly outlaw class is of sufficient importance to warrant an airing in the Michigan Daily. The status of students enrolled in combined courses has always been a source of dispute and some ill feel- ing. The soph medic class is not en- tirely unjust in its claims, as set be- fore the student council, and if that body wishes to continue its proper position of control and respect among campus activities, it should make some serious effort at conciliation. As I understand the matter, the disputed medic class, being seniors on the cam- pus, desire representation in the coun- cil. I further understand that the council refuses to give them represen- tation, because they are enrolled as sophomores in their department. I believe, however, that the rfling which prohibits sophomore representation should be made to apply only to un- derclassmen. It seems to me that all students who are doing above second year work on the campus should be represented on the campus governing body. Furthermore, I believe this rep- resentation should be absolutely rep- resentative. It might be well here to state that the council is not a rep- resentative body, as far as the indi- vidual members of the upper classes are concerned. The method of deter- imining the numbers of members is in- deed arbitrary. This arbitrary system of representation may be partly re- sponsible for the present squabble, and is very liable to continue to cause trouble as long as the system per- sists. As destructive criticism should al- ways be followed by constructive sug- gestion, the writer offers the follow- ing solution. As there are possibly 2000 upperclassmen on the campus, a representation in the ratio of one councilor to every hundred students would not be an unwieldy number. Further, to make the affair purely representative, allow each class or- ganized as many councilors as it has hundreds, and fractions thereofoffici- ally enrolled members, granting each councilor, representing less than one hundred students, a vote fractionally proportional to his constituency. Un- der these conditions, every class divis- ion would be represented, and each man on the campus would have his proportional representation in stu- dent management. Democrat.
