Editorial ...
Tomorrow and Tuesday, you will choose your, rep-
resentatives in your student government.
For weeks the campus has been in turmoil over the
hottest campaign yet fought here. Now it is up to you'
to select the people who represent your point of view.
The Student Legislature has come a long way since
its beginning four years ago. Its continued progress de-
pends on you. A Legislature which can show the Ad-
ministration that it is backed by the student body can
accomplish far more for you than a group selected by
a token vote.
* * *
By now, you know the issues, and you have prob-
ably been faced with some of the candidates, either in
person or by poster or letter.

Wins Two Picture Contests

But it is impossible to know them all.

In an at-

tempt to give you a better view of the candidates, The
Daily today prints on pages three and four their state-
ments and answers to a few controversial questions.
Every student who owns an ID card is eligible to
vote for Student Legislators and members of -the Boards
in Control of Student Publications and of Intercollegiate
Athletics. Juniors will choose J-Hop Committee mem-
bers.
The shouting is all over. The campaign has end-
ed. Bloc voting arrangements have gone as far as they
can.
Now it's your turn. No one can tell you how to
cast your ballot-that is your decision. But to make
the decision is both your right and your responsibility.
Vote tomorrow or Tuesday.
-The Senior Editors
"Last year some of the volunteers got a little over-zealous in
giving candidates votes, so now we're being extra careful in pro-
tecting the ballot boxes," SL member Jim Storrie said.
STORRIE ISSUED a plea for five volunteers to work polling
booths at noon tomorrow. They may call him at 2-4401, 407 Chicago
House. He also said any volunteers who have not been notified by
today where to work to call him at the above number.
Safe-keeping place for the boxes between election days is
a closely guarded secret.

Grain at Dexter
Farm Bureau
Ann Arbor firemen joined with
fire departments from three other
communities to battle a blaze
which broke out yesterday morn-
ing at the Dexter Cooperative
Farm Bureau and New York Cen-
tral Railroad freight shed in Dex-
ter.
The Ann Arbor department
worked for more than two hours
with firemen from Chelsea, Pinck-
ney and Dexter to bring the blaze
under control. Fire and water
made the grain a total loss, ac-
cording to Lieut. Paul Wenk of the
local department.
Wenk said the roof over the
grain elevator at one end of the
frame building collapsed and
about one-third of the freight
shed was burned.
Milton Hofman, director of the
bureau, and Ray Steed, Dexter
freight agent for the NYC, could
give no immediate estimate of the
loss. Cause of the fire has not been
determined.

THE NATIONS of Western Eu-
rope are not arming themselves
because they are opposed to dis-

"They are rearming them-

they fear the intentions of the
Soviet Union."
Jakob A. Malik, Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister, replied that
Hickerson's statement was a "dis-

Malik said, "TheSoviet Union

7-7 Deadlock
Koceski Provides
Lone'M' Marker
By PRES HOLMES
(sports Co-Editor)
It was just a matter of inches.
Ohio State tied Michigan, 7-7,
yesterday for the Western Confer-
ence championship and at the
same time clinched the Rose Bowl
bid.
* *' *
BUT THE DIFFERENCE in feel-
ing between the Michigan and
Ohio State camps would have led
one to believe that the Buckeyes
had actually won the contest.
It was, for them, just as good
as a win, since Wisconsin's loss
to Minnesota eliminated the
Badgers from Rose Bowl conten-
tion and sewed up the bid for
Ohio State.
The Ohioan's dressing'roorm was
filled with laughter and back-slap-
ping as roses sent from a loyal
Columbus group were passed
among the team members.
A FEELING OF bewilderment
and disappointment cloaked Mich-
igan's followers and players, a feel-
ing that the difference of just a
couple of inches would have turn-
ed the game into a victory for the
Wolverines.
The most outstanding reason
for this contention is the point-
after-touchdown-play of Ohio
State. Fred Morrison pushed
over the Buckeyes' lone tally
early in the fourth quarter to
make the score 7-6 in favor of
due stepped back to coil-
vert. The ball sailed high and wide
of the goal posts, by inches. For a
second it looked like Michigan
would still top the Buckeyes. But
the linesmen ruled that the Wol-
verines were of f side on the play,
that a man had been a few inches
across the line of scrimmage.
Hague was given another chance
and this time the ball went be-
tween the uprights to tie up the
game.
* * *
ON THREE OTHER occasions
just a matter of inches made the
difference for the Wolverine.
Time and again the situation stood
"fourth down and inches to go,"
and that was the ball game. Mich-
igan was forced to punt instead of
retaining possession of the ball
and continuing the march down-
field.
Wally Teninga played an out-
standing game for the Wolver-
ines. His punting put the Buck-
eyes back in their own territory

Bands Thrill
Chilled Crowd
At Final Fray
Another capacity crowd, bun-
dled in winter coats, boots and
yellow chrysanthemums shivered,
shouted and then went silent yes-
terday as another football year
passed into history.
For the 97, 239 fans who shoved
into the stadium, the great march-
ing bands vied with great football
teams as far as entertainment is
concerned.
The friendly "battle of the
bands" ended, as did the game, in
a colorful draw.
* . .
FROM THE pre-game displays
by snappy OSU music men to the
final block M by the' amazing
Wolverine marchers, the fans got
their money's worth.

Top features:
From OSU: the pre-game
moving covered wagon and the
half-time "SOUSA" and "OSU"
with shield.
From Michigan: the half-time
displays of the giant moving
juggler with human cue balls and
the fantastic three ring circus cli-
maxed by a mock chariot race.

Colossal Michigras Sounds Call for Student Help

Michigras-the colossus of cam-
