That is the universally accepted fact. The course of a proposal, as the manner in which it is presented, is always questioned, is always a matter open for discussion, and is always an excellent indication of the seriousness with which the proposal should be treated. The Daily contends that a plan conceived by a committee of which one-half the members are faculty men is not even the imita- tion of a student uprising for better government. The Daily contends that when the members of this committee make every effort to keep their elan from the established and authoritative forms of student opinion, that fact ought to b known, and it ought to be considered when the plan is discussed. The Daily contends that the people affected by the vote of any legislative body, regardless of whether they are students or not, have a right to know how the legislators voted. A man who castsan honest vote in a council is willing to go into the public market place and defend that vote. The Daily has persistently asked that the men students be granted some small opportunity to express themselves concerning their own government. That has at last been done, but it was done only over the very fierce opposition of a group which was inter- ested in the plugging of its own particular plan, to the exclusion of all other plans. If it had not been for The Daily's opposition, that plan would have been accepted, neatly and completely, and the governed would never have had a chance to express their opin- ions on how they should be governed. We say these things today just as we said them Tuesday, because they are true, and no amount of indignation can deny them. The plain facts support the plain statements.

The object of the crowd's wrath was a negro charged with assaulting a 14-year-old white girl. He was spir- ited out of the building, disguised as a national guardsman, and taken to Nashville. As flames shot from the structure, the mob milled through Shelbyville streets, manhandling any negro they chanced to meet. Governor McAlister sent 500 more troops into the town tonight. Rough Game; Sherf And Heyliger Lead Scoring 1 KALAMAZOO, Dec. 19. - Mich- igan's Varsity basketball team eked out a 26 to 25 victory over Western State Teachers here tonight for its fourth consecutive win of the season. The victory, first the Wolverines have scored over the Kalamazoo quin- tet since 1931, was typical of Mich- igan's team this season in that they had to come from behind in the last few minutes to win. Coach Franklin Cappon's five led throughout most of the first half, enjoying a two-point margin, 13 to 11, as the period ended. However, loss of John Gee early in the second half on four personal fouls weakened the Wolverine defense and the Teach- ers jumped into the lead and were never headed until the closing min- utes when a Michigan player con- nected for the winning basket. Arnold, Kalamazoo center, scored six of his team's nine flield goals and added three free throws for a total (continued on Page 3) Rv KPT r Viu i I I Schedule TOtDetermineo thave unlocked the door ofthe old Wil1lie Contacted ScheuleTo DterineLaw Building before 1893, has been Hour With Instructor sent to Bald Pate Inn in Estes Park, Students To Be Asked To _ _Colo., where it will join a collection Final Examination Schedules for of more than 7,000 famous keys cred- Submit Further Plans FtedawitExnspirngithn ErheDdulBeg-f.r the first semester in the College of ited with inspiring the Earl Derr Big-;ForC gers story "Seven Keys To Bald F onsideratlon Appointments Bureau Places Mainv Stuidents 'Ensia Fo Frateri campus Two Dead " v' "k immedia In addition to. the two dead, they ! with sti counted among their casualties at W rk Of Past YSets pictures least seven other men wounded by SecriThe d national guard bullets.

'japan Plans To Abrogate Naval Treaty Will Hold Conference Of Sea Powers If Japan Withdraws Demands LONDON, Dec. 19 -(P)- A naval conference of the world's three great- est sea powers will be held next year only if Japan surrenders her demand for equality, American quarters in- dicated tonight as tri-power prelim- inary conversations here formally ended after two months of fruitless negotiation. A plan to organize a survey of cam- pus opinion upon the question of I men's student government and to se- cure the submission of further pro- posed forms of government was ap- proved in a meeting of the Under- graduate Council held yesterday in the Union. The action of the Council was the first step in carrying out the instruc- tions of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs, which on Monday re- ferred the proposed plan of the Stu- dent-Faculty Committee of the Union with some other plans to the Council with recommendations as to the ac- tion which should be taken upon them. Three Steps To Be Taken The plan as passed by the Council consists of three definite steps: first, general dissemination of knowledge concerning the present student gov- ernment and the proposed pla~hs; sec- ond, letters soliciting new plans and cpinions and criticisms of present and proposed plans to be sent fraternities, organizations, schools and colleges, and other campus groups; third, a plan to seek the same information from independent men through the S.C.A. and through coupons to be printed in The Daily. The Council was instructed to "give consideration and study to this plan (the proposed Men's Council) and to any others which may be presented to it, and through open hearings and other methods to obtain a widespread expression of student opinion and wishes concerning these particular plans and also concerning the whole matter of student self-government." A tentative schedule for the carry- ing out of the Council's plan was also organized in the meeting. According to its terms, all proposed plans for a men's student government will be printed successively in The Daily starting immediately after the Christ- mas holidays. Council To Submit "Best" Plan When a sufficient number of stu- dent opinions, plans and suggestions have been received, a survey of the findings will be made. From this, ac- nnt~ainr fn tha nnr~nitnnc nrvin' Consider Improvements Of Social Conditions A challenge for engineers to con- cern themselves more with human values than scientific values was is- sued by Prof. John L. Brumm of the journalism department last night at a banquet of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers held in the Union. "We are too scientific," Professor Brumm stated, "and we do not con- sider ourselves individually respon- sible for social conditions which call for our active support. We know what to do toward improving these conditions, but we haven't the cour- age to go ahead and do it." John Grennan, instructor in foundry practice, received the loving cup for the "greatest nuisance on the engineering faculty." The honor was accorded the candidate who received the most vociferous and prolonged boos. The inscription on the cup is "to the man who can take it," and signifies the popularity of the win- ner in the estimation of his students.
