BASEBALL PREDICTIONS TO eoteton (Page 3) Vol. No."*. ROTC Completes Rifle Firing Tests For the past several, weeks fresh men and sophomore members of the Center's Reserve Officers Training Corps have been undergoing rifle fir ing tests under the supervision of Sergeants Vincent Gordon and Jo seph Flaherty, instructors for the lo cal unit. The tests, which were in accor dance with the requirements that are set up by the ROTC unit on the cam pus, were restricted exclusively to the use of light weapons with special emphasis being placed on the official military 22 caliber rifle and its oper ation. The tests were held on the private firing range of Mr. Elmer Geissler lo cated in his factory building on west Tamarack street. Because of the limitations of space the entire reserve unit was divided into several squads, and each squad was taken individually to the firing range for their firing period. The tests included firing rounds from three .different positions, stan ding, sitting and kneeling. The scores of each were determined by a graduated numeral system with the area surrounding the center recei ving the highest credit. From these individual scores the total score was then computed. In a statement made following the testing period Sergeant Gordon said that these tests would probably be the only opportunity that the reserve group will have for rifle practice on a properly recognized firing range. The highest score registered by any trainee was made by Bernard Carr, a sophomore member, who fired a total of 68 out of a possible 15.

Cott WITH 1;40 Last week the sophomore student body elected William Baran presid ent of the sophomore class. Also elected to serve with Baran on the Council were Michael Doddo and Jo seph Olivia. The three electees are fourth semester students. The balloting , for the officers was so close that no one candidate was able to receive a margin of more than four votes over his nearest op ponent. The teller committee for the election consisted of John Wersin ger, acting president for the Council, David Snell, sophomore class repre sentative, and Syd Rudman, faculty advisor of the Council. At the regular scheduled meeting on Monday evening not enough members were present for a quorum. As a result the newly elected council men were not officially installed. An thony Stanziola, who appeared on behalf of the Amateur Egyptologists Society (Mummy club), changed his plans for submitting the club's peti tion requesting funds because the quorum was not present. Again the Council welcomes stu dents and faculty at their regular meetings held every other Monday in the library.
