LOOK FOR THE MAN
Now comes the open season on class
offices, when the candidates and their
political heelers infest the halls of the
main buildings with outstretched palm
and glad smile for their less ambitious
classmates. Class elections come on
with a rush, and the choices made on
the impulse of the moment are too
often regretted for the remainder of
of the year. How frequently have we
heard the remark, "We've had three
rotten class presidents, and now we
have to get'a good man."
The good man isn't the one to thrust
himself upon notice when nominations
are in order, nor is he the man who
has already won his spurs in extra-
curriculum work, and staggers along
his senior year with heavy responi-
bilities added to his scholastic sched-
ule. Yet without reason these are
always the men first thought of. The
trouble is easy to see.
An old saying, to the effect that a
freshman president is never again
heard of, has gained much credence on
the campus, in spite of a few brilliant
exceptions. A freshman president is
generally chosen blindly, on the
strength of a prep school reputation
on the cinder path, or owing to the dis-
tnction, as was the case several years
ago, that accompanies a Carnegie hero
medal. How these virtues ever help
in the administration or class affairs
is a mystery. Then why choose
blindly?
As a rule we have lost confidence in
student political cliques, but a few un-
selfish men, with less ambition and
more ideals, might do some effective
work after organizing a pre-election
caucus.
results of our circumscribed vision.
Once having seen the streets adjoin-
ing the Auditorium choked with human
mass that goes to make up the Uni-
versity our perspective automatically
adjusts itself. We acquire a sense of
unity that we have never felt before.
We are forced to sink our personali-
ties into a composite whole, and the
result makes us glad to call ourselves
Michigan men.
Women's Organizations
Women who wish to be squad lead-
ers for tennis will please report to
Miss Evans at once.
Coupons should be filled out and
sent to the athletic office at once for
tickets for the Cornell game.
There will be a meeting of Masques
at the Gamma Phi Beta House at 5:00
o'clock today.
More than 50 women attended the
weekly vesper services at Newberry
hall. Prof. T. E. Rankin's talk on
"Religion*- Intellectual, Emotional
and Ethical," was enjoyed by all.
These services are held at 4:30
o'clock each Wednesday in Newberry
hall. Prominent men from out of
town as well at Ann Arbor speakers
have promised to address the meet-
ings during the year.
The Girls' Glee club needs an ac-
companist as well as some new mem-
bers. All women except freshmen
and new students, are eligible. Try-
outs under direction of Miss Hunt, di-
rectress, and Ellen Sargent, '16, will
be held from 5:00 to 6:00 o'clock Fri-
day afternoon, October 15, in room 7
of the School of Music.
"There are a few long established
traditions at Michigan, and there are
some which are the sole property of
the women," said Dean Myra B. Jor-
dan, to a Daily reporter yesterday.
Among the foremost of these cus-
toms is the "Freshman Spread,"
which came into existence 35 years
ago. This is a function given in the
late fall by the sophomores of the
university to the freshmen. The
Fancy Dress party given by the league
has seen 15 seasons, and grows more
brilliant and mirthful each year. The
freshman banquet of the Y. W. C. A. is
to take place tonight for the sixteenth
time, and if one may judge from the
past it will be worth attending. The
annual circus given by the league has
made its appearance six times, and
the annual supper which the junior
advisors give in honor of their fresh-
men has just been held for the third
time.
