political precedents in the history of

official mention for the position.

nating Hce Grainger, prominent mem

terdormitory council, for secretary
treasurer of the student body, and
Leonard Lobred, Rush Hamrick and
St. Clair Pugh for the Publications
Union board.

Phil Ellis, speaker of the Phi as
sembly and member of the Debate
council, made a short talk advocating
the naming of co-cheerleaders and
later "made the nominations. He
pointed out an urgent need tor re
juvenation of cheering and asserted
the election of Nelson and Miss Rum
sey would give "a new spark of en
thusiasm and originality."
