Ihe sudden departure OF h0ger Lyon
for Alaska Wednesday evening upset
the plans of more than one organiza-
ton with which he was affiliated. To
fill his place in the Glee club, Earl
Cotton was shifted from baritone to
second bass and Paul Anderson, quar-
! tet man of 1909 fame, was elected to
britone. But it was not alone as glee
club singer that Lyon is missed, for as
commander-in-chief of the varsity root
ers, his presence was of paramount ne
cessity. By student body executive ac-
tion yesterday afternoon Laban Sleeves
was elected "yell king" emeritus. The
choice is happy one for Sleeves is
general favorite with the students, de-
spite clever runaway marriage which
greatly interested himself, the student
body and Salem in general late last
| spring. There is no doubt that Sleeves
is the man for the job.

elected to the forensic council yester-
1 day morning as result of student body

sent that branch of Willamette activ-
| ity. These three together with Prof.
