SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1906
Mr. March advanced a rather new idea in his talk in chapel yesterday, when he entertained the idea of student participation in municipal affairs. If students will accept the whole burden of municipal citizenship here, there is obviously nothing wrong about the idea. Mr. March of course did not intend to encourage the voting of students who do not discharge the duties to the city which the act involves.
The failure of the debate meeting yesterday leaves the matter just where it has been. The matter is not settled, however. It is absurd to suppose that such a one-sided scheme as the old Council has become under the assessment plan can long remain in force. When another meeting is called next week, let every student who believes in fair representation be there, whether he is directly interested in debates or not.

It is to be hoped that in the coming athletic election the two opposing factions will not lose sight of the most important thing to be secured—a competent representation of students on the Athletic Board. To this end, they should see to it that no freshman is nominated for a place on the board. Where one side does it, policy forces the other into it, and the board suffers an incompetent member. No freshman can possibly know enough of University affairs or of athletic precedent to even vote intelligently on any important question. Election of a freshman is equivalent to cutting down the student representation by one. Let both sides consider the matter fairly, and nominate upper classmen for the board.
The plan to organize a new debating association open to the whole University was temporarily defeated yesterday by the petty jealousy of the Law School. The Laws packed the meeting and refused to entertain a plan to take debates out of the control of the literary clubs, and make it what the scantiest of fairness demands—a University affair.
Last year, the champions of the literary societies had a show of reason on their side, for the societies were nominally responsible for the support of debates.
Now it is different. The assessment touches everybody in the University, and for that very reason, everybody has a right to demand a vote. But the Law School with its two clubs, and a controlling vote in a third blocks the way. The reason is not hard to find.
Our carrier system is well organized now, and in the future, if you don't get your paper, see if some other fellow in the house didn't get it before you kick. We cannot agree to make a personal delivery, and a dozen fellows can't expect to read the same paper and get much satisfaction out of it.
Why would it not be worth while to include a sick benefit fund in the voluntary assessment for another year? The assessment is an unqualified success so far as it goes—let's extend the field of its usefulness.

When You Need a Rain Coat You Need It Bad.
No matter how many Overcoats you may have, there is nothing to take the place of the useful Raincoat.
All the Purposes Of An Overcoat
Many men will wear them all through the coldest weather.
Our Rain Coats this year are cut in true Overcoat style-form fitting at waist and full at bottom.
$12.50, $15.00, $18.00 to $25.00.
They like them because they are not as clumsy as a regular Overcoat, yet their length protects the limbs.
Better be cautious in buying a Cravenetted Rain Coat. Lots of them are floating around that are worthless.
