OVERSTREET ELECTED TO THE
BOARD BY A BIG MAJORITY.
Report 0 the Athletic Meeting.
The climax of a four days' campaign was
reached last Thursday afternoon in chapel.
On Monday last it became known that C. A.
Elliott, member of the Board of Managers,
was to leave for Chicago the day following.
His withdrawal left a tie vote for manager
ship in the board ; Johnson and Flippin sup
porting Tallmadge, and Stroman and Tefll
being pledged to Sawyer. By agreement of
the Board, the vacancy was referred to the
Athletic Association, the managers agreeing
to stand by the Association vote. Then the
campaign began. The Tallmadge faction
held a caucus in Palladian Hall Wednesday
morning, at which Mr. Tallmadge, having
become convinced that he could not carry the
full strength of the anti-Sawyer faction, with
drew unsolicited from the contest, having as
sured the caucus he would use his whole in
fluence for its nominee. Following this with
drawal which was considered unfortunate,
yet necessary to "party success", Mr. H. G.
Whitmore, '95, Business Manager of The
Nehkaskan, was made the caucus nominee
for manager, and L. F. Overstreet was
chosen for the Board vacancy. All day
Wednesday, and Thursday till 4 p. m., the
fight raged furiously. The interest and ex
citement aroused were greater than on any
previous occasion this year. At 4 p. m.
President Stroman called the Association to
order in the chapel. After explaining the
purpose of the meeting, a motion prevailed
whereby the four managers present arose
and pledged themselves to stand by the ac
tion of the Association about to be taken.
Pollard nominated Dowling, and Flippin fol
lowed, nominating Overstreet. The presi
dent explained that the election of Dowling
meant Sawyer for manager, that of Over
street, Whitmore. Tallmadge, Hadley and
Haughton were appointed tellers. The roll
was then called, each member responding
with the name of his candidate. Dowling
ran ahead, up to the last thirtj' votes, when
Overstreet caught up and jumped ahead.
Overstreet was elected by a vote of sixty
seven to eighty-one.
SIGNS OV SPRING.
The plumber joke is Iniil nwny
To rest the summer through;
The coal-bill jest will also try
Its lost strength to renew.
The picnic pie we greet again,
Reposing in the shatle;
The base bnll umpire has returned
And the circus lemonade.
WHILE BOTANIZING.
Junior This place resembles one of Shake
speare's great characters.
Soph. How so?
Junior It is a melancholy hamlet.
A VALUABLE WORK OF ART.
No ancient master traced with patient care
This drawing rare.
No Turner made with brain and heart
This work of art.
No Michael Angclo,
In days of long ago,
Painted this picture fair.
It is not drawn in colors pink,
Or India Ink.
No crayon traced in clear outline,
This drawing fine. (hush
But the sketch which caused this awe-inspired
Was when I drew and filled
To a bob-tailed flush.
AT THE HIGH LUNCH COUNTER.
Soph. I'm in favor of annexing Hawaii.
Frcshie What for?
Soph. So we can have the Sandwiches
come in free.
They arc going, they are going;
They pack up their trunks and leave,
And we hear a long.drawn whistle
As the troubled air they cleave.
They are taking to the desert,
To the darkest forests flee;
They climb the highest mountains,
And they cross the stormy sea
They are going: some in Pullmans,
Some arc walking overland,
They are fleeing, panic stricken,
To escape the Musce Band.
