Dorm Vote Fades; Freshmen Split Ticket
Name Milam Prexy; Browne' Haynes to M.S.C.
By JIM SURFACE
The freshman class gave its elders a lesson in good government yesterday by showing little respect for party lines and electing its four class officers purely on the basis of personality.
The men elected Jack Milam, Pachacamac, president, and Bill Brownlee, P.S.G.L., treasurer. Marion Haynes, Pachacamac, and John Browne, P.S.G.L., were chosen as the freshman representatives on the Men's Student Council.
The "Little Women" selected Evelyn Schroeder, Alpha Chi, as vicepresident and Evelyn Hodgson, Miller hall, as secretary.
Didn't Vote Straight
The choice of the men is more indicative of the trend of two elections toward non-partisan lines when the 381 casting ballots upset precedent by splitting their majority between the two parties, Pachacamac and the Progressive Student Government League. Usual procedure would have seen a straight ticket elected for the class offices with the minority by means of the proportional representation one of the two Council seats.
Milam's plurality over Dale Ewing, P.S.G.L., was 27 votes and Brownlee's margin of victory over Roy Shoaf, Pachacamac, was eight votes. This would give Pachacamac the nod if victory must be awarded to one of the parties, but the split slate and the narrow margins give little succour to politicians from either group. Dorms Insignificant
Although there is no check on the
ballots, the influence of the dormitory vote was not significant except perhaps in the School of Engineering and Architecture where the defeated P.S.G.L. candidate for president carried a seven vote majority. This engineering vote is probably the most significant factor of the election in light of its past domination by Pachacamac.
The election was as mild in its procedure as it was in its political effect as the freshman showed themselves gentlemen and succeeded in avoiding partisan clashes or arguments of any sort.
The women also conducted a very quiet election in which 138 freshman lassies took part. Schroeder secured the vice-presidential office by a three-vote margin over Jean Trekell, Watkins hall, and Hodgson led Mary McVey, Pi Beta Phi, by 18 ballots.
No Squaredancing Class
The squaredancing class will not be held in Robinson gymnasium tonight because of the Homecoming parade.
HOMECOMING ON TAP--off the Sooners. Who knows: The lads might pull out a rabbit, i.e., Jakie Fry. Then it'll be the Sooners' turn to do the staving.

Better tear out this story and keep it with you. Then, at about 9 o'clock Saturday night, you can glance at the clipping and find out where you are. You're up in the Memorial ballroom, and that band you're dancing to is Clayton Harbur.
If you're still wanting excitement after this, the rest of the program is up to you. You can take the high road north, or the low road south—either way you can't miss Scotland. Or you can stay in town and do right well by yourself.
