Who could have been a better choice for president of LaaoceoLs than Bill T. McCleery? No sane minded student of. tllil institution should question the qualifications of this man. Hjj rec ord alone can dispel any maJinv pressions that raay arise. He has not been an "activity man" out. after everything just for "hencr." Everything he has done has been done in the most efficient manner and all his honors have be?n gained on merit. Aside from his work on th;s newkpaper which .began th very first day he was in school. BUI has written two Kosmet Klub plays both of them exceptionally well received is the newly elected president of Sigma Delta Chi, na tional Journalistic fraternity, and is one of the foremost lealers :n the student council.

He is president of the interfrateroity council and is really trvwr to organization on'a fTound . footine.
