Inc annual meeting OF luc StIliOi
class for the election of officers occurred
yesterday at IL o'clock in the law room.
For the past week the election has been
a topic of absorbing interest to members
of the class. This last opportunity for
the display of dexterity in political ma
neuvering and wire-pulling was used to
its fullest extent. The class is very
evenly divided ON the fraternity line,
and the mountaineering members were so
thoroughly organized that with the aid
of four fraternity votes they were able
to elect almost their entire ticket.
Everyone had looked forward TO all eX.
citing meeting, but IN this they were
disappointed, as everything passed OF
very quietly.

meeting to order, and after reading the
minutes the election of officers proceed
ed by reclamation, with the following

The bath rooms in the S. &. A. build

cents is made for the use of the bath,
and an additional nickel for towel and
soap.
A number of the class that graduated
last June visited the 70" this week.
Among these were John c. FAIRIES and

be bearing pill case in one hand and a
doctors diploma in the other.
