Kree Length Sock
P op lar n Winter
With skirts and coats shorter
than ever and anklets as low as
usual that expanse of leg from knee to
ankle becomes numb with cold at
football games and knee length sox
solve your problems.
The knee-length sock is a fad that
doesn't seem to have gone over very
well, however, with the advent of
winter days, the socks seem to pos-
sess great new advantages.

Fe..w._Assemby_.
anquetTiet
St ill Availaible
Only a few tickets remain on sale
for the sixth annual Assembly Ban-
quet which will be held from 6 p.m.
to 8 p.m. Monday in .the League
ballroom, Elizabeth Caster, '41; tick-
ets chairman announced yesterday.
Tickets may be secured from 1 p.m.
o 5 p.m. through Friday at the As-
sembly booth' in the League, and also
from members of the ticket commit-
tee who will visit the various League
houses and women's dormitories.
At the banquet, awards will be
made to the three independent wom-
en, one from each of the upper
classes, who have been most outstand-
ing in extracurricular activities dur-
ing the past year. This will be the
first year that such recognition has
been given. Awards will also be made
to the three independent women who
rank highest scholastically in each
of the upper classes. This year, for
the first time, their names, years and
houses will be inscribed on a plaque
which will be hung in the League
and which thus becomes a perma-
nent record of their achievements.

Last year at this time we prophe-
sied the last stand of the Student
Senate-this year we retract the
prophecy.
For the benefit of those who lift
an eyebrow when the Senate comes
up, may we explain that said or-
ganization was conceived a year and
a half ago -by a mixed group of ideal-
ists and filibusterers.
The idealistic conception was to
develop a group which would be a
true cross-section .of :the Michigan
campus. Opinions were to vary from
dead white to bright red, and topics
of discussion 'were to cover every
phase of life which the University
student encounters.
If .~flOrgan'Of Opinion
isuccessfully fulfilled the I
specifications, it was felt that the
Senate would be significant as a
reliable- voice of student- opinion.
Since - it is important in a democracy
that the people find: some means of
self-expression, the Senate's function
as such an organ would necessarily
be important.
Filibusterers grasped this oppor-
tunity to relieve themselves of a pas-
sion for going into detail on the pro-
blems of the world and what they
would do about them.
There is a fine point of differenti-
ation -between these two views of the
purpose of the Senate. The balance
of power lies in the hands of the stu-
dent voter.
Representation Necessary
Obviously if the function of the
Senate is to be effected, true repre-
sentation must first be achieved. This
can only be done by 100 per cent par-
ticipation of the students in Friday's
election. To lift the status of the
Senate from glorified bull session to
reliable organ of campus opinion,
requires that each individual ferret
out the candidate who best represents
him and then turns out to the polls
to support him.
They're making it easy for you-
six places to vote-will I see you
there Friday?
