The amendments are vitaltor invite her out on a date -does- than four candidates for President and Secretary, the Selections Committee have no more reason to include an outsider than they db under. the present system, which does not prohibit an out- sider from being appointed to be President or Secretary. If the Se- lections Committee wishes, thos( four candidates, if there are al- ways four, need never include a lion-past-member of the Union Executive Council. It would seem therefore that no matter how on( votes on the fifth amendment, a vote "Yes" for the direct election of the senior officers will not open the election to inexperienced and untrained candidates... The composition of the Selec- tions Committee also ensures that there will not be much likelihood of the election becoming, as Bill ' W i s e suggested, a "popularity contest." The four men finally nominated by the Selections Com- mittee under the proposed change should be no other that the four best men of the Executive Coun- cil. If they are otherwise, then the Selections Committee has fail- ed in its job to protect the best interests of the Union. And cer- tainly this committee knows what those interests are. It has used those interests as criteria in the 20 years that it has appointed the senior officers. Why should they change under the proposed direct election in which the committee nominates no more than four can- didates. Is a popularity contest in the best interests of the Union? Obviously not. Would the Commit- tee therefore nominate men who would lower themselves to mak- ing their election a popularity contest? Obviously not. The meeting to vote on these amendments is to be held Tues- day, May 16, in the Union Ball- to every members of the Union, faculty as well as student. Re- member the date and remember this one of the purposes of the Michigan Union: "To help in fit- ing University of Michigan men for the performance of their du- ties as good citizens." -Herb Leiman * *I * Co-eds . . To The Editor:. THE CO-EDS' letter in Sunday's Daily is a fine presentation of what seems to me the most deli- cate social problem of UM stu- dents. And the Michigan males are mostly at fault here, in my opinion. Thefirst thing one usual- ly notices at open houses or other such informal parties and dances is that the guys just don't ask the girls to dance. Instead, they stand around like a bunch of deadheads and talk politics, while many very attractive girls are left to warm' the bench. The ratio in this casej doesn't mean a thing. These male ; madonnas would probably behave' the same even if it were reversed.1 Any man who doesn't have what it takes to ask a girl to dance n't deserve to occupy space in this community so abundantly loaded with feminine pulchritude. I don't blame the gals for being disgusted at this situation . . My impression of Michigan co- eds is that they have a lot on the ball. Their natural physical beauty is hard to match. They have ex- tremely pleasant personalities, to- gether with a good sense of humor and a lot of common sense. They're amply gifted with both brains and athletic ability. Eighty out of every 100 girls I've met are terrific-in every way; 15 are better than average; and the other fiveare passable. Here's to the University of Michigan women. I love 'em. God bless 'em all! And as for the men in general -get on the beam, fellas. It's a hell of a lot later than you think. If one gal refuses a date, ask another, etc. The law of averages is with you, both statistically and practically. You can't miss. Re- member that you must "Seek, and ye shall find" whatever it is you want-looks, companionship, in- telligence-the U.M. co-eds have it all. -Hank Natunewicz, Grad By JO KETELHUT T.
