u,
HAS the political pot boiled over yet ?'' or
whats the premium on straight tickets?n
When the day began there were four can
didates in the field, II. G. Wyckoff, J. D.
Gish, P L. Bush and }. O'Connor, but by
noon the two latter let it be known that
they were out of the race.
The reason that such attention has been
paid to the office is the prominence that the
senior presidency has attained, for this
officer has the appointment OF the COM
mittees which manage the senior class day
exercises and the senior ball to be given in
the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art in San
Francisco, so that the office is considered
the highest class honor in college.
After G.. NJ. Fisher, president pro tenn,
had called the class to order and some pre-
liminary business had been dispensed with,
nominations were called for. NJ. G. Flaherty
placed Wyckoff IN nomination, and R. w.
Wheeler presented the name of Gish.
When the ballots were counted it was
found that Wyckoff received Sc and Gish
80. The other officers elected were:

Graham; historian, Theodore Laguna; SER
geant- at-arms, Power Hutchins; directors
