equal claims, considerable difficulty
was encountered in selecting the
"prodigies," who are to hold their
places for all time. Ruth "Boots"
Abbott received a clear title as the
most popular girl. Carl Johnson is
her running mate as the most popular
man with equal support from both
sexes. Gretchen Jones was finally
elected the prettiest girl and Bill Hn-
shaw the handsomest man.
Margueite Chapin Best Student
Marguerite Chapin, With Roberta
Deam a close second, was voted the
best 'student of either sex. Unex-
pectedly, "Bill" Fortune was honored
as the, biggest bluffer of either sex.
Thelma James seemed to have little
competition as the 'hardest grind.
The chances for a future president
look good with "Bill" Hinshaw and
"Dave" Nash evenly tied as the
shrewdest politicans in the class. El-
sie Erley and Catherine Grow tied
for the titleNf the jolliest girl Reed
Bachman, with the stipulation that he
was the most consistent if not the
worst, took first place as the worst
fusser. "Dave" Nash again placed in
the election as the sportiest guy.
Anne Hutehins To Be First Wed
The class decided Anne Hutchins
will be the first girl to be married and
"Herb." Slusser was the best bet as
the first man. As a last decision it
was decided "Dave" Landis had done
the most of the little knocking of the
class.
It was found that the class has a*
substantial balance of $2,086.46, ac-
cording to J. P. Hart, the treasurer...
It was requested by Ruth Jennings1
that all the girls order their caps and
gowns with Mack and company before
March 13. David Nash desired all the
orders for invitations and announce-
ments to be turned in with the money

consecutive time submitted the poster
which yesterday was chosen by the
committee to be used on the program,
music score, and advertising for the
1920 Union opera, "George Did It."

by the committee to Clayton B. Sea-
gears, '23, who won second p'lace, and

the play, showing the two periods,
1859 and the modern time. Two char-
acters, dressed in costumes of the
Civil war period, are shown pulling
back the ends of a dark colored cur-
tain, behind which a modern costume
ball is being conducted.

hand corner is shown in large letters
"George Did It," beneath which ap-
pears in red "14th Michigan Union
opera."
The committee which judged the
posters is composed ofProf. L. H.

Committee Reports Dates Set For
Campus Events, Including
Blanket Presentation
Requesting that political sIfeeches
be sanctioned in Hill auditorium, a
petition will be presented to the
Board of Regents at its next meet-
ing, was the decision of the Student
council at its meeting last night.
While the council will merely request
that such sanction be granted, it will
also suggest that a faculty commit-
tee be appointed to pass on the ad-
visability of allowing speakers the
use of the building, in each individual
case.
Convention Plans Outlined
In order to stimulate student in-
terest in the coming presidential elec-
tion it was decided to promote a mock
convention at Michigan. The plan as
outlined calls for the organization of
candidates' clubs, for a primary elec-
tion, and finally for the holding of
both a Republican .'and a Democratic
convention.
The committee on Spring events
reported that the following dates have
been set: Spring games, Friday and
Saturday, May 14 and 15; swing-out,
Thursday, May 20; Cap night, Friday,
May 21; and Blanket presentation,
Saturday, May 22. The last date was
chosen with special reference to the
interscholastic meet which will be
held on that day. The council be-
lieves that these ceremonies will serve
to interest visiting high school sen-
iors in Michigan. A committee con-
sisting of Carl T. Hogan, '20E, as
chairman, Fred W. Petty, '21, William
W. Hinshaw, '20, and Henry T..Eager,
'20L, was .appointed to arrange for
appropriate ceremonies.
Calendar To Be Published
In the future the council intends to
publish a calendar of student events
for the college year. The committee
appointed to compile this calendar for
the year 1926-21 consists of Curtis E.
Bottum, '20E, Henry Whiting, '21,
Joseph A. Kervin, '20M, Milner S.
Ballard, '20H and Grayson W. Gill,
'20A.
The question of the advisability of
incorporating class dues into the reg-
ular tuition fee was discussed and it
was decided to draw up a petition to
the Board of Regents requesting that
this be done. Such a petition will be
presented at an early meeting of the
Board.
Officers of the different senior class-
es wil be requested to file reports of
their standing committee] with the
Student council in order that future
senior class officers may use them for
reference.
Favors Traditions' Revival
The council expressed itself as be-'
ing in favor of a revival of any of
Michigan's traditions, and of their en-
forcement.
G. D. Anderson, '22L, was elected
council auditor.
