Ames, June 4.-The Cardinal Guild"
the student senior eleven, of the Iowa
State college for the coming year, was
named this forenoon before a small but
intensely interested audience in the big
tent on the central campus. This or
! IganfzationSi Is a body of seniors chosen
from year to year to have for its OBJ
tject the prevention immoral college
spirit among the students of the col
flege. The organization was started by
the class of 1904 and has been per-
lpetuated by succeeding classes since.
This year the following members were
chosen to hold office until next June:
w. H. Peters, Keokuk; Leonard
Paulson, Triumph, MINI; A. E. Berg
gren. Marshalltown; jJ E. Waggoner,

Nearly every one of these men are
prominent in some one or more de-

have been chosen on this honorary body
is certain. The guild has been very
instrumental in wedding out many OBJ
