Night Editor-HOWARD SHOUT
TODAY'S BALLOTi
Students and members of the faculty
of the University will have an oppor-
tunity today to express their prefer-t
ences for the next president of thet
United States. Of course there can
be nothing decisive in the results from
the point of view of actually electing
the nation's next chief executive, but
It will at least indicate the general
trend of opinion on the campus. r
Perhaps the voters today will riot
experience a igreat deal of satisfaction
because of the fact that their votes
will not count in the actual determin-
ation of a president, and for that rea-
son it perhaps should not be consid-
ered an opportunity fr m the sund-
point of the individual. It is an op-1
potunity, however, to allow thoset
who are sincerely interested in poli-
ties to learn something of the opin-
ions, held by a selected. group of in-
telligent individuals such as the facul-
ty and student body of a great uni-
versity. Unless a very great percen-
tage of those on the campus this
summer cast a ballot the results can
h othing but unreliable. The more
votes that are cast, the more signifi-
cant does the result become.
It is often said, and it apparently
is based upon a partial truth, that
educated people who are best quali-
fled to expres's an opinion on matters
pertaining to the welfare of the na-
tion are uninterested and neglectful.
It seems to b the popular belief that
politics are so rotten than an hon-
est vote does not count. Certainly
honest votes will not count when they
are not cast, nor will the desires of
intelligent voters be fulfilled until
more of them take time to be good
citizens. This will be a chance to
begin expressing educated opinions.
Who will occupy the White House
for the next four years is a matter
of vital interest to all of us, and a
display of genuine opinion on this
matter will be somewhat of a contra-
diction of the idea that students have
no serious iterests. This idea is so
often expressed than an opportunity
to correct it should be considered a
privilege. To those students who are,
during the regular session, occupied
in some profession this will be an op-
portunity (to express an opinion
moulded by education and actual ex-
perience.
The women's vote will be strong to-
day, and should be a ;good indication
of the general opinion of women
which is really a strong factor in the
determination of national questions
since their enfranchisement.
Today's balloting will not only be
indicative of the party preference
of the majority of the student body,
but will show the opinion of intel-
ligent people in regard to the policies
which each candidate supposedly up-
holds. In fact, many votes will prob-
ably be determined by that rather than
by partisanship alone, and that is a
great factor in intelligent voting.
Individual opinion is of conse nec-
cessary to form mass opinions and it
is only in the event that a large por-
tion of the student body responds that
the ballot will become representative
enough to fulfill its purpose, that of
determining the general attitude of
a selected- group of people. For that
reason every student and faculty mem-
ber should make it a point to ex-
press his or her opinion before the
polls close.
COLLEGE STARS IN THE OLMPICS
How have college-trained athletes
fared in the Olympics? That is a
question that is often asked and it
has been answered in part by a set
of statistics compiled by James Tay-
lor, Columbus '05, which include the
results of the eight meets previous
to the one going on at the present
time.
The highest 'point-scorer of all is
Ray, Ewry of Purdue university who
won nearly all of the jumping events
at the Paris, St. Louis, Athens, and
London Olympic games from 1900 to
1908 inclusive. The second high in-
dividual scorer was Ralph Rose of
Michigan who earned 27 points for
his country during his Olympic com-
petition.
Of the 1,2122 2-3 points scored by
the United States in these eight
games, 894 2-3 points were scored by
college-trained men, while 11 1-4
were scored by preparatory school.
athletes. So far this year college
athletes have taken a good share of
Points too.$
These facts may indicate the su-
periority of college training, or they
may simply mean only that the col-
lege athlete has more time which he
can devote to training and benefits
only ?nsofarasrlength of training
periods is concerned. The later is
very improbable however, if taken
alone. Several things must be con-
sidered in order to arrive at a log-'
ical conclusion. First, college ath-
letes have the benefit of experts to
instruct them in the finer points of
athletic events. They are trained to
take the proper care of themselves,
to eat only the food that is best for
them, and to obtain the proper
amount of exercise and rest. They,
are also taught to be mentally alert
at all times.
Michigan has been represented in
many Olympic events and has made
a very creditable showing in the total
number of points amassed during
competition, and her coaches and!
trainers, along with many other
prominent athletic directors in the
country are to be commended on the
type of training they have offered.
It is through their efforts and advice
that college athletes have seemingly
become the mainstay of American
Olympic teams.
NO OIL
The City Council of Ann Arbor is
to be congratulated on its stand in
refusing to permit the erection of
an oil station on the property locted
on the corner of Washtenaw and
South University avenues. This re-
fusal came about through the coun-
cil's action In changing the zone rat-
ing of this property, taking it from
class C, which is business, and trans-
ferring it to Class B, which is resi-
dential.
After a controversy that extended
over a period of several months final
action on the question 'has been taken
and the action definitely prohibits
the use of the property in question
for any purpose other than residen-
tial.
Washtenaw avenue is one of Ann
Arbor's residential lanes. The fra-
ternity and sorority houses located on
that avenue, together with the many
beautiful private homes, make for
a thoroughfare that is deserving of
protection against the intrusion of
commercially-minded promoters eag-
er to convert property into commer-
cial enterprise in order that they
may benefit from monetary gain. The
protection in this particular sitation
was renderedbyhthe council in its
decision last night.
The erection of an oil filling sta-
tion at this corner would have been
an eyesore to the beauty of the
residential surroundings of this prop-
erty. The principal feature of the
zoning ordinance of the city is to
group together as 'far as is possible
business houses in one locality or
along one particular thoroughfare,
residences in other localities, and so
on. This plan obviously makes for
security in buying property, for the
prospective buyer can know before-
hand in what zone the porperty he is
contemplating buying. lies. In the
case being discussed, the purchasers
of the Washtenaw property claimed
that they are unjustly treated in view
of the fact that at the time of the pur-
chase the property was in a zone
which permitted them to make com-
mercial use of it. In answer to this,
however, it is revealed that the prop-
erty was sold on condition that no
oil filling station was to be erected,
and it is commendable that the iCty
Council took congizance of this agree-
ment in making its decision last
night.

In order to instruct its huge

because Thomas is a minister.

Students and faculty, we appeal to

like that be defeated. He is not only
going to help the student but raise
