Leffie Carlton, Delta Sigma Phi, who was elected sophomore class president, "appreciates the support that was given to me last Monday night." "He was president of his class in high school, and was a- warded a medal as -the most outstanding boy in his class as well.

Delt, will occupy "the, geats; of honor on Homecoming Day as Mayor and Hostess, as result. of Monday's balloting. Kenyon, captain of the ,. Mystie Crew and manager of the Stetson- band, proved the strength of the fraternity bloc with his;, comfortable plurality over Edward ; Fur-, iorig, of the Non-FratSr—281 to; 153, The count for Alice McLaughlin bore the same testimony, witft the final tally putting her out; tft' front of Christine Kummer, Nswi-firat, by a jyote of 331 to 87. : Non-Frat leaders blame the onesided outcome of the election on their inability to get tReir party strength to the polls. Even those who expected Kenyon to nose out the versatile Furlong did not look for such a wide margin in the voting. Although there had been little: doubt as to the success of Alice McLaughlin, the final verdict of the ballots was a surprise. Homecoming day is November 13. The selection of cheer-leaders involved an unlooked for situation through the misspelling of a. candidate's name, Tht nam.l ©f F1q> ence Lytle appeared an the ballot as Florence Myrtle through a typographical error.Miss Lytle received 169 votes on the strength of her misspelled name,, while the fourth place winner, Dorsey Womack, received. 171. .Rumors" that the election will be contested are heard. The number of cheer-leaders had previously been determined at three men arid four women, and the candidates receiving the highest votes in order would take the respective places,' Those who are versed in the secrets of parliamentary procedure say that in the event the election is contested, the whole list of feminine candidates will have to be placed back in the running. - :■■:*■< "The election," said Dick Bran- (Continued on Page 3) Voices and Piap For Radio tlneert Mr. .Giffin Will Put -LJ$A; Opera Songs' on- . -!^' Air Neither , Charles Butler, the! hustling guard, nor Gus Swanson, giant tackle, ever played high school football.
