ELECTIONS IN FULL SWING

May is election month at Dartmouth There have been so many elections the past six weeks that the only safe thing to say to your friend is "Congratulations!" If he answers, "Thanks," you can go on your way contented. If he says, "What for?", your only out is to answer, "For looking so robust at a time of year during exams when everybody looks awful." You will lose your friend this way, but at least it will save you embarrassment. To try to list all the past month's elections would be nearly as futile as trying to outline every campus activity during the past six weeks. Suffice it to say that Stephen J. Bradley '39 of Madison, Wis., was elected president of the Players; Kenneth A. MacDonald '39 of Quincy, Mass., president of the DOC; Roger S. Harrison '39 of New York, president of the Interfraternity Council; and John F. Rourke '4O of West Roxbury, Mass., president of Green Key. Also that Dartmouth had its best Interfraternity Sing contest yet on the steps of Dartmouth Hall, that the College gathered for its annual peace observance April 27 under American Student Union auspices, that the Interfraternity Council accepted fraternity house-size and pledge rulings,—that the columns of The Dartmouth were filled with a hundred and one other activities all deserving of mention were there space.

At the time the Undergraduate Chair went to press, two committee reports of important student-organizational bearing, one affecting the non-athletic clubs—especially The Players and musical organiza- tions—and the other, the publications—especially The Dartmouth—had not yet appeared, but both, long-pending and important have been anxiously apprehended by the members of those organizations. The other administrative step of acute undergraduate interest was the abolishing of the cut system, described in the News of the College section.
