Pralle and Miller led until the next to the last day. When the votes were counted Wednesday night Miss Butcher had a lead of 8 votes over Maxine Miller. The balbaling on the table was no less than several fraternities and sororites bought as many as 285 tickets apiece on Thursday夜. There was little change in the margins of the leaders however. Pralle lost a few votes, but Miss Butcher held her own and votes more than did Maxine Miller.

Alluring and Fascinatin': "Pt. Phi and Theta's spent up to $40 bucks apiece in one night together their gals one of those plane tickets. Butcher should have a good time with her fascinatin' partner and not-so-dumb chaperon, Bill Grant, manager of the school. If it didn't be when we first heard it, we don't mention you all again, Bon Voyage.
Spring Swing is over. The end is not yet, though, for there are whisperings about taking the slow to various places of proximity, such as the prison at Leavenworth. Right now everyone is saying they've heard stories about the "cest" party that was held at the Wiedemann establishment after the last show. There was plenty of jamming by the band boys, and we saw with our own eyes that chorus girls like to dance just the same way as the other nice people went home and the rest went to Bricks and various other hangouts to swap stories and coffee with the politicians.
Diary…Another one of those things happened to us yesterday Roommate Coleman had a date with one Pi Phi, I had a date with another. When I called for said date I found that I had been stuck so So an answer is seeing how he wasn't back from City, Coleman's date and I had a fine dinner and all that…Betty Lov McFarland makes a good candidate for beauty queen or what have you. Her record shows things she doesn't like to talk about—I mean it must be the blush. The snow—the wind—and the Theta's are goin' to town this weekend.

Grimes' Margin of Victory Is Largest Majority Since 1928
After leading the Society of Pachacamac to a smashing victory in the men's spring election Thursday Blaine Grimes, c.39, stood today as president of a Men's Student Council. The group has party伞 that a two-vote majority.
Grimes defeated Jim Haughey, 179, of P.S.G.L., by 211 votes, the largest margin of a victorious presidential candidate since 1928. He was swept into office on the same title of Pacachuanac who placed 21 of z. total of 29 offenses in the election, and a complete sweep of class positions.
For its election of seven councilmen, P.C.G.L. can be thankful for the use of proportional representation. As counting progressed late Thursday night and early Friday morning, it became apparent that the Pacachacam machine would otherwise have won at least two and probably more additional M.S.C. representatives, although they would have gained four of the eight College representatives under any system.
In an election that was unusually free from mud-slinging campaign tactics, and which both parties agree was handled fairly, Pachacampe won a 10-8 majority in the Council, with Grimes voting only in case of ties. He was uninformed on S.C. debts and Haughue, who will sit as representative-at-large.
Rekommend Planen Plattform
As it was, the Rising Sun party came within one vote of sweeping the ballot in district II (Pharmacy, Fine Arts, Education and Business). After two Pacachamac candidates had received the quota in this district, the third, Al Laughlin, ph, lost by one vote to Maven Cox, B^39. Had the men finished in a tie, the decision would have reverted to the

The Council line-up next year will contain 12 fraternity and 7 nonfraternity members. Beta Theta Pi, affiliated with P.S.G.L., is the only Greek organization with two M.S.C. positions. Officers of the Council will be elected by a vote of that body, and probably will be filled entirely with Pachacamacs, since that party will have the majority strength.
