the spring and 50 per cent in the
fall; the officers shall be elected
at the first meeting of the council
after spring and fall elections; and
all officers' terms will expire

with their college.

nounced that the - elections of the
council will be held Nov. 3 and

student council elections.

Drops of water trickled down
my neck, bringing me out of
