CLASS ELECTIONS-A DAY Just as this is the season of great- est interest in national and state pol- itics, so also does it register the high water mark of interest in class affairs on the university campus. Within the next three weeks election of officers in the 30 or more classes at Michigan will be held. Class elections-among the most im- portant of factors in university life- seldom receive the serious considera- tion they deserve. The situation is well analyzed by "A Senior" in a com- munication to be found elsewhere in this morning's Daily. Start considering now the best men to fill the offices in your class. Weigh them not on personal likes and dislikes but rather consider their qualifications as leaders of the class. If every member of your class would think over the situation, and come to class meeting prepared to vote intelligently, the "peanut" politicians would have little opportunity for action. Particular thought should be given to the election of senior class presi- dents, for it is left to them to guide their classes through the last year of college and out into the world. Upon their success in fulfilling this duty de- pends to a large extent the lasting solidarity of the classes after they leave the University. Let us have good class presidents this fall-the best there are.

Editor, The Michigan Daily: Every fall some 30 classes elect the officers which are to carry on the class activities, social, athletic, and other- wise, for the coming year. In the past the interest in these elections has been pitifully small, in fact, the vote cast in any class has, probably, never amounted to more than 25 per cent, and often as low as five per cent. This condition, besides being a reflection on the class spirit and a poor consolation to those elected to office, is in a large sense a reflection on the Michigan spirit of democracy. Perhaps the indifference of the many is no different here from that found in actual life, but it seems deplorable that so many men, and women too, should display such a lack of interest in student government, besides losing this opportunity for meeting men; for after all it is around the meeting of men, the associations with men, out- side the class room, and the friend- ships formed-that spring up the rich- est college memories, the more cos- mopolitan outlook, and a truer Mich- igan spirit. You will very often hear those stu- dents who have never taken an inter- est in class affairs, try to justify them- selves with the assertion: "What's the use, the gang that's running things won't give me a show." It is just this attitude that has thrust control upon the few and then, because these were the only ones who had the spirit or interest to take part in class affairs, to have the others accuse them of gang rule and selfish interest. Undoubtedly this condition is found more often in the freshman and sopho- more classes where there is less or- ganization and less knowledge as to the character of the men. By taking advantage of this situation many an underclassman has been pushed into office by a few zealous friends or his own ambitions, and paid the price by unpopularity or oblivion for the rest of his college days.

Surely the importance of these presidencies and other offices should attract more interest and command more consideration from the class members. Particularly is this true in the senior class, when we consider the number of appointments to be made by the president and the fact that the man elected as senior class president will always be president of that class. Voting in the class elections is not merely a privelege, it is a duty.

It is through an active interest in student affairs, through the contact with other men, and through unselfish service that the highest and truest type of MIchigan man is developed. Let us have a new interest in class affairs and a new era in class poli- tics. A SENIOR.
