Presents Question of Stadium Student Union Building, and Chimes
A letter to four hundred alumni and friends of the University throughout the state is now being sent out by the Senate Memorial Committee, asking for opinions on a suitable memorial. One man who lost their lives in the war.
Among the ideas which have been given to the committee, the letter says,
"An athletic field with a stadium has been suggested. This is another large scale project which is worthy of consideration. It would involve the purchase of an athletic field in addition to the erection of the memorial stadium. Such a field, if of sufficient size, should be furnished for the whole University both students and faculty, for outdoor sports and general athletics.
"An all-University student building to be designed as a memorial building and to form the center of student life and activities. The central feature of such a building could be a memorial tower with chimes. The structure could be planned to provide an auditorium, commons, cafeteria, headquarters for alumni and student organizations, assembly halls, and a library. The next great building at the University is very great, it appears to be in keeping with the memorial idea, and to be within our bench financetiny.
"Among moderately expensive propositions a set of chimes meets with some favor. At present the University has no place for the mounting of an instrument, but we have to provide for this item in addition to the chimes themselves."

He's very, very, very affable,
His motions are quite laughable—
And what explains his mental state?
That's easy! He's a candidate.

University women, discussing tank:
First one: "I'm awfully disappointed.
I thought it would be big as a house
Second one: "Oh, no. This is a chummy model."
Well, most anyone would have a somewhat demoralized feeling if a two-man tank hit him amidships.

Freddie Leach, with other budding politicians, made several social calls last night, engaged in missionary work for the Representative ticket. Having introduced hhimself at one place, he began an eloquent dissertation on the merits of his side, from student council to igniter.
"Oh, he's hard hearing and has to get up close to hear the music."
In spite of the poor start, Leach left a convert when he went away.
"But I can't support your man for cheer-leader," said the voter. "I'm afraid he'd be too much like that I don't know the sure was a poor stick, wasn't he?"
"Thanks, old man," said Freddie, slightly stunned, "but this has been a poor year for cheer-leaders."

Men's Student Council Election Stirs Unusual Interest Among Voters
Electioneering Continues All Day in Best of Friendly Rivalry
400 Votes Cast at Noon
Few Women Exercise Privilege of Helping Choose Officers of the College
A total vote of 884 had been registered in the annual spring election at 11 o'clock this morning. Much interest is being shown and the competition is measured by the numerous politicians surrounding all the voting booths.
Because the total vote of the School of Law was cast by 2:30, the ballots were counted. John Monteith, candidate for president, received 40 votes, to 20 for his opponent, Warren Blazier. For cheerleader: Cecil Ritter, 31; Joe Schwarz, 28.
The College had registered 135 votes and the Graduate School and School of Medicine had each voted two $^2$ making a total of 139 votes cast at the booths in Fraser Hall. There should be more than 400 votes in the College, according to Gall Wilson, chairman of the election judges.
The School of Law had cast the highest percentage of votes with fifty-two out of seventy-one possibilities. Aaron's third charge of the judges in Green Hall
The School of Engineering had a total vote of 103, according to Kelsie Mathews, chairman of the judges. She was be at least 300 votes cast 'n this school.
The election is clean, with probably the prospect of a very close result. No one has made complaint against illegal electionering or crooked voting, no fights have been reported and every points to a clean, hard-fought election.
The judges in Fraser Hall are:
Chairman, Gail Wison; C. A. Blair,
O. D. Gregory, Victor Tomilson and
W. P. Pearson.
Judges in the School of Engineering; Kelsie Mathews, chairman; Guy Keeker and Leon A. S. Sherwood.
Judges in the School of Law; Arthur Lonborg, chairman; William Davidson, Karl Noll and D. B. Lang.
Although women have the right of voting for officers in the College, there has been but few votes cast by them, probably due to the lack of competition for these offices.
