PROF. MOORE ASSISTS CONSTITUTION MAKERS
Monograph by K. U. Man Helps Illinois Solons Plan

New Code
Assistance in the revision of the state constitution of Illinois is being rendered by a monograph prepared by Prof. Blaine F. Moore of the department of political science for the use of the constitutional convention, now in session. Themonograph provides guidance on the cumulative voting plan now in use inIllinois, the object of which is to bring about minority representation, and is a study of what that policy has accomplished. The monograph was issued by the University of Illinois. When the Illinois constitutional convention was held, this national science there asked him to revise and bring it up to date, which he did, also adding a chapter in the primary law which was to come up for consideration by the convention. Copies of the volume have been given to each delegate to the convention by the Umi-
The cumulative voting system was adopted by Illinois in 1870, and the principal business to come before the convention is whether it shall be allowed. Moore's treatise gives an impartial history of what the method has accomplished, and is supplemented by numerous tables showing the results of the presidential election from 1870 to 1919. The merits and demerits of the system, according to the introduction by Prof. James W. Garney of the Illinois department of political science, "have been set forth as arguments in a fair and judicial manner."
The system does not necessarily insure proportional representation according to, Professor Moore, but it does not represent the representation with almost mathematical exactness. The system has worked well in Illinois, but despite the fact that it was adopted half a century ago, no other state has taken it.
The primary law is under discussion because it is believed its adoption will strengthen the cumulative voting system, if the latter is retained. Professor Moore has written his new chapter from the point of view of what effect the primary will have on representation in Ill-

Foster received a letter Wednesday morning in which the writer inquired if there were any suitable places on the campus for the erection of a tent.

He is willing to rent a home if suitable quarters are available, but in the absence of such accommodations, he is willing to abolish it during the summer camping in a tent.
Many students who enroll in the summer session are married and experience difficulty in renting furnished houses for the summer. According to Registrar Foster, the open air life, necessitated by housing shortages, is becoming popular in other institutions.
