This duty having been assumed by the undergraduate and local graduate bodies can not be evaded in any way. The method of handling eases that arise is left entirely to the committee and while there is no definite code which must be followed as regards what shall be considered a breach, the Council must consider all business that arises. C ln order that a committee might be chosen which would meet with the approval of the Student llody and that would be thoroughly conversant with existing conditions, it was decided to elect a body of five from the Students' Conference. The Conference is composed of upperclass representatives from all the departments of the Univer- sity, the representation being in the proportion of one for every forty men having fifty or more hours to their credit. ln addition to this, and in order that in eases where some departments may have several desirable men who would not be elected otherwise, five dele- gates are to be elected at large from among the eligible electors. The Conference in choosing the Student Council will do so by a secret ballot, without nominations. This eliminates the probability of politics being used in order to appoint certain men, and insures the election of those considered most desirable for the positions. Everything possible has been done to make the new system workable and efneient, but it is a foregone conclusion that there will be many times when serious faults are found. lt is hardly possible to start on any new venture with a perfect system and it is hoped that in case of mistakes, the Student llody will try to remedy the error and will strengthen the system rather than tear it down by an unreasonable attitude. lf Student Self-Government is to be a success, the students must be behind the committee that acts for them.
