Early last Saturday morning there were
several small groups of eager students to be
seen about University hall, engaged in more
or less animated conversation. Even the
casual observer could see something was to
take place. One could hear all kinds of talk
about "rotten combines," "wire pullers'' and
'tie ups." The cause of aw this unpleasant
ness was the pending election of ollicersof the
athletic association.
The meeting was called for !):00 a. m. but
it was nearly ball' past before dues were paid
and chairman Pope saw his way clear to call
for order. The chair announced that nomi
nations for president were in order. "W. E.
Andrcson and Geo. ('. Shedd were placed in
nomination. Andreson received f( votes,
Shedd 20. The other ollicers were elected as
follows: O. T. Reedy, vice president; I). I .
Pope, secretary; E. It. Morrison, treasurer;
Geo. Porter, E. B. Perry, J. 10. Eeehot and
K. I). Lundis as student members; and Profs.
IL. W; Caldwell and G. E. Barber as faculty

meet?
"It is wrong to tie up" especially when it
is the other fellows who "tie up."
The "old war horses" simply had to give
way to the rising generation.

"No, I will not play football this year,"
said the pilot, "for I can't play football and
run the University at the same time." The
result of the athletic association election may
not cause the pilot to don shii' guards, but it
at least, indicates which way the weather
vane is pointing.

The meeting of the Palladian Boys' debat
ing club, Saturday evening, was well attended.
The greater part of the evening was spent in
parliamentary scrapping which thoroughly
tested the skill of Vice-president Sturdovant.
Some animated speeches resenting the accu
sation which the U. B. D. C. had made, that
the P. B. D. C. had stolen its gavel, added
life to the meeting. A few good impromptu
speeches were made.
The Union Boys' debating club held an

Brookings, secretary; D. 1. Pope and L. R.
Ewart, attorneys and II. W. Meier, the retir

The Delian Boys' debating club met and
had their first debate last Saturday night.

three. All the members took part. Arrange

and Lincoln Normal for debates. The ques
tion for debate next Saturday is: "Resolved,
that government by injunction is contrary to
constitutional liberty."
