Friday morning has been decided
as the time for the election of
officers. According to the original
schedule the election was to have
taken place on Saturday, but due TO
the desire Of the officers to hold an
session following the cleo
ton it was decided to hold the cleo
ton on Friday at 10 a. m. This
is looked forward to with
considerable interest as there will
be several contests. A nominating
committee has been appointed and
will report Friday morning. In this
way it is expected that much time
will be saved in holding the election.
Several group meetings were held
night in the interest of the vari-
GUS candidates.
