In Bpito of our earnest endeavors
to ue plain find outspoken at all times,
It seems that we have boon greatly
misunderstood by not a few students
concerning our attltudo towards tho
student council and Its relation to the
Innocont Boclety. What wo have srtfd
concerning' the Innocont olections was
not said to condemn that society, but
merely to show tho students that tho
Innocents woro not and would never
bo a truly representative body, rec
ognizing, and recognized by, tho stu
dents. Wo have tried to Impress upon
overybody that this society has little
actual power, that it accomplishes 1IF
tie actual work. We want everyone to
understand that at present there is no
body which stands at tho head of stu
dent affairs, which recognlzos tho
student body, and in which there is
centralized authority and centralized
responsibility.
So far as tho Innocents are con
cerned, wo have little or no concern.
As on honorary organization they have
a place In University life. But as an
organization to really do things they
'havo been tried and found wanting.
It is not the fault of tho men In thiB
society, but rather the fault in the
organization Itself. All power and
authority must-como from tho pooplo.
An organization to do things muBt
havo the power delegated to It by tho
-students-and have their support-be
hind it. This tho Innocents lack.
This a student council will have.
Which can do tho more effective
work?
And so wo have InBlBted that tho
students havo tho right to vote
whether or not they wjll govern them
selves or, have no government What
soever TrtflthflwlnlrafHnp;
a constitution is being hindered either
directly or indirectly by tho very men
who were delegated to frame it Why
tho Innocent society does not demand

that action bo taken and taken at once
Is more than 'Wo can understand.
Thero 1b ono littlo possibility, how
ever. Most of tho Innocents person
ally oppose 'tho council for ono reason
or another. Perhaps the student coun
cil does sound tho death-knoll of pres
tige in tho Innocent society. But cer
tainly wo can not understand why they
aro not big enough to do whati so
clearly is thoir duty to do-glvc the!
students a chance to decide. If tho
convention falls to act which seems
m6st probablo from thoir preBont at
titude and tho groat amount of en
couragement given them In their pres
ent pleasures by members of tho Inno
cent Bocioty then somebody else will
havo to bo resorted to to do that which
any body which protends to stand for
tho best of tho school should do and
do willingly rogardless of whoso ox
Is gorod. If the Innocents will not
act, some ono else will. "
