WHAT OTHERS THINK
UNDEMOCRATIC TRADITION
     We are living in an age of democracy. An age willed by the people and ruled by the majority. Crowns and sceptors have been beaten into diadems of freedom before our vision. Common clay has exalted itself that government of the people for the people and by the people might rule the world.
     Trampled beneath the feet of autocracy for centuries, humanity at last has become animated with the spirit of autonomy, the right of self government and the energy of freedom. Representation by the governed has become an inherent demand in organization as well as in government. The voice of the majority must be heard, the will of the dictator must be oppressed and the volition of the mass must be exercised. This is a day of representation in government and organization.
     Yet in this age of democracy students reared in an environment of free institutions, free press, free speech, and free thought are neglecting to administer a function of government which vitally concerns their own interest. They are being subjugated and controlled by a social committee which vitally concerns their own interest. They are being subjugated and controlled by a social committee which is wholly nonrepresentative and to whose membership no student belongs. Whether or not the edicts of the present committee are tyranical and unjust is mittee are tyranical and unjust is ant factor remains that the present system of controlling the social affairs of the University are not in accord with the present day methods of representative government.
     In previous years the student body has been represented by a spokesman selected by faculty members of the social governing body. This autocratic appointment proved as effective in satiating the demands of the students as did the advent of the reichstag to the plebians of Germany, and with identical results. It is undemocratic, unsocial, unrepresentative and unjust. Students should be given a voice in mattes which vitally concern them and in securing this action, members should not be appointed by the faculty but should be admitted as the result of a free and official University election.
     It is within the scope of possibility to hold an election at once, the members to possess office until the fall term when the regular annual election would be initiated. Candidates for election should secure nomination by a bona fide petition signed by a designated number of the University electorate. To preserve an equality of representation as many student representatives should be elected to the board as there are faculty members, each to have one vote on all judicial, legislative and administrative matters. This is but a tentative plan which might be inaugurated in the interests of student representation.
     There is need for social legislation in the University and in this legislation the student body should share an equal responsibility with the faculty in framing laws which it will have to obey and tolerate, The time is ripe for an election. Such action on the part of the student electorate is the inevitable culmination of the age-the spirit of genuine democracy.
