Rosenthal Elected New President of MRA
Ernest Rosenthal, Kansas City sophomore, was elected president of the Men's Residence Association yesterday with little opposition.
The only serious opponent to Rosenthal was Timothy Hefner, Topeka freshman who received 49 write-in votes. Rosenthal got 332 votes from the two member halls, Templin and Joseph R. Pearson halls.
NEW MEMBERS from JRP are Richard Reynolds, Shawnee Mission junior, and Wayne Burdick, Overland Park junior. Templin voters elected George Tannous, Lebanon junior, and Russell Cummings, Topeka senior.
Four new MRA council members were also elected by the 569 men who voted.
Rosenthal's election left a vacancy on the council. Under MRA rules, Dennis Shoemaker, Kansas City, Mo., junior, was appointed by Templin President, William Reese, Hiawatha senior.
Rosenthal said he planned to call a special meeting of the MRA council during enrollment to begin planning on several projects for February.
"I want the MRA to act rather than just talk," he said. The new president wants to organize now to make sure things will get done.
ROSENTHAL declined to say whether a new attempt would be made to bring Ellsworth Hall into the MRA. "I would like to have Ellsworth in, but we still have to go on with our activities without them," he said.
"We will have to prove to them m (MRA) is worth joining. Now they don't see much that the MRA has done."
"I think they'll join as soon as they see something worth joining," Rosenthal said.
Rosenthal outlined several ideas he had. They are:
A Winter Carnival to be held in the Potter Lake area in February when the weather is right.
- A TGIF party in February.
- Formation of an advisory council in each hall. The councils would be made up of representatives from
- Interhall contests in chess, bridge, and ping-pong which will begin in February.
each wing who would meet with the MRA council members from that hall.
Vote totals in the Templin council elections were Tannous, 170; Cummings, 120; Denis Shoemaker, Kansas City, Mo., junior, 102; and S. J. Baker, Mission junior, 89.
Vote totals in JRP were Reynolds,
125; Burdick, 103; Forrest Mowry,
Overland Park freshman, 74; and
John Cooper, Wichita freshman, 63.
