university politicians are either wear
Ing that II told you so" expression or
wondering, In dazed manner, how
it all came about. "The best laid
plans Of men and mice, gang aft
aglee." Some Of the future statesmen
Of North Dakota will remember the
election Of 1911 as an example Of the
fallibility Of their methods of rea-
soning. In general, it can be said
that this election was the least ex-
citing one held for years. No per-
sonal attacks were indulged in and
the bitter feeling present In some of
the former elections was entirely alb
sent.
Seymour Anderson of Park River
was the victorious candidate for the
presidency Of the Athletic association.
His election was practically assured
when Walter Quigley Of East Grand
Forks withdrew from the race, thus
centering the vote of the independents
and their friends. Quigley withdrew
last Thursday, upon losing in Tipping
a coin with Anderson, leaving Ander-
son and Deane Wiley in the field. The
changing of support Of the majority
of Quigley's adherents to Anderson,
assisted in swelling Anderson's ma
jority to high figure.
Oscar Preble Of -Williston, mem
ber Of the Varsity Bachelor club and
the Ad Altiora Literary society, was
elected vice president with a major
ity Of III, the largest majority of any
athletic or oratorical tickets.
Oscar Gullickson. one Of the best
athletes the university has ever had
and captain Of the state all-star foot
ball team, was elected treasurer with
out any opposition, and was the only
candidate who did not have to battle
for the office. "Gullick" is also a
member Of the Varsity Bachelor club.
Prof. E.. F. Chandler won, by a
comfortable majority. the position of
faculty member of the athletic board.
This indicates the appreciation of the
student body, of the excellent work
done by Prof. Chandler ever since he
became member. of the faculty in
building up athletics at the GU" He
has always, been an apostle of clean
athletics and has been largely instru-
mental in the development of this
luc6 at Cne university.
The Board
There were nine contestants for the
five positions on the athletic board
of control and there was considerable
speculation as to the outcome. Ac-
cording to the returns, the new ath-
letic board Of control will consist of
Harris Robinson, Mike Zipoy, John
Wells. The first three are independ-
ents while Elken is member of the
Alpha Kappa Zeta fraternity and

local chapter of Sigma Chi. All the
members of the board have shown
much interest in athletics since en-
tering the university. Robinson is
member Of the varsity baseball
squad. Zipoy for years has been a
member Of the football and track
teams, representing the university.
Mcknight won laurels for himself and
the institution by his work on last
years track team and this years
football team. Guy Elken was captain
Of the victorious sophs in this years
cane rush with the freshmen and was
a member Of the class football team.

basketball and as member Of the
track team.
