Michigan's snowing against Syra- cuse in the recent cross country meet serves to emphasize a long standing truism. A Michigan runner won. Syracuse runners were second, third, fourth and fifth. Thus a Michigan man won the race, but Syracuse won the meet. The honors therefore went to Syracuse. The Maize and Blue usually possess- es a handful of real stars but she often lacks the second, third, fourth and fifth place men. These second, third, fourth, and fifth place men are the ones that count. Consult the records, if you doubt this. Cornell's championship track team of 1914 took just one first place in the intercollegiate s. Forty of her 45 points were contributed by sec- ond, third, fourth and fifth place men. These men won the meet. Stars can not win unsupported. The cross country team needs more material. In order to absolve Michi- gan from the accusation of having an aristocracy and not a democracy of athletes, a bigger number of men should heed the calls of the managers. Michigan needs and needs badly these second, third, fourth and fifth place third, fourth and fifth place men.

Editor, The Michigan Daily: "Peanut Politics" was the subject of an editorial in Tuesday's Daily, in which the senior law class was held up as a glowing example of political rottenness. As a member of this class, I wish to join the Daily editor in de- ploring the condition which exists, not only in my class, but in practically every other organization upon the Michigan campus; and to explain, if I can, why this condition prevails. The existence of "peanut politics" in class elections is, in my opinion, due primarily to the tendency of certain professional fraternal organizations to "hog" all the offices to which any of their members may be eligible. I am not against the fraternity spirit at all. I believe it is a fine thing in itself. I can see how it naturally leads to clan- nishness, and a desire that its members be given places of distinction in camp- us life. The brotherly feeling is good; but when it takes the form of domina- tion of the majority by the minority, because of the superior organization of that minority, it becomes a menace to the spirit of democracy, which the- oretically pervades Michigan atmos- phere; and shouldsnot be tolerated by any man or woman interested in the future of Michigan. It is a matter of common knowledge in my class, I believe, that it has al- ways been dominated by the fraternity steam-roller. Independents have de- plored the condition, but have never made a concerted effort to stop the thing until the election this year, which has been set aside-as to the vote on the nominees for president, only, which resulted in a tie-because it was shown that that vulture, "peanut politics," had reared its head again. Why the whole election should not have been annulled, as there is little doubt that the odor of "peanuts" permeated every part of it, if it existed anywhere, is explained by the fact that the student council has the pow- er to set aside an election in part or as to the whole. If the student coun- cil possesses this power, the writer for one, should like to see it exercised TO KEEP AW. AKE READ The World for Sale, $1.35. Gilbert Parker. Tish, $1.50.- Mary Roberts Rinehart.

Unless the organized faction which has been "carrying away the bacon" In class elections will, of itself, decide to play fair, and refuse to indulge in petty politics, the unorganized mass must rise and insist upon their right to be"heard. To be successful, they, too, must organize to some extent; but the moment that this is done, the steam-roller people sprout wings and point horrified index fingers at the new movement, raising the cry of "peanut politics." What solution is there for this problem? I see none, RICHARD Le GALLIENW TONIG HT. I I Wlomen -I ness are to be excused by the health gervice.

I have no quarrel with the profess- ional fraternity man as such. How- ever, it has seemed to me that the fraternities are largely at fault in this matter. I do not oppose any appear- ance of "peanuts" in politics, whether it emanates from the fraternity man or independent; but I fail to see any way of stopping it unless all unite in denouncing it; and, what is far more important, practicing what they preach.
