secretary-treasurer.
Donnal, Baker Hun
Lion candidates for the junior
class vice-presidential and secre
tary-treasurer's offices are Jahn
Donnal and Barbara Baker.
Carlson, a national poetry con
test winner, wooed the clique
membership votes with a poem
which included the line "words
without actions never in politics
should lie" but the plurality built
up by George was too much to
overcome.
Klisanin, also a decisive win
ner, was introduced by present
All-College secretary - treasurer
Emerson Jones who called the
candidate "my choice to succeed
•me in the position."

Peter Sarantopoulous was nomi
nated, he declined to run for the
office.

urer •of the senior class. When
candidates are not opposed, one
token vote is cast.

Davis, elected on the Lion ticket
