The chapel period Friday morning
was given over to the election of the
editor. Odell Salmon and Willis Tur-
iier were the other nominees. Thomas
Graham, President of the Student
Body, presided over the election.
Duriug the discussion on the nomi
nees, a heated argument arose over
the question as whether a freshman or
sophomore should be elected. This
was caused by the fact that Salmon
who has had several years experience
in newspaper work is a freshman, while
Davis, who also has experience, is a
sophomore.

President Coltrane
Discusses
Friendship
On Tursday morning President Col
trane spoke interestingly at the assem
bly period on the bases of friendship.
True friendship may be developed by
discovering the quality of other people,
by being able to see into the souls of
other people, and by learning to toler
ate other people. President Coltrane
said, “Where two persons or a group
of persons are united in a common
cause there is likely to be friendship.”
He pointed out that “friendship can
not be based on selfish advantage. If
we are seeking friends selfishly we will
not find them.
