Class 're ideints
Marry Hawkins, '26E, Clifford Bueh-
rer, '26D, George Hacker, '26Ed., Os-
car F. Wild, '26A and Wesley G. Reid,
'26M, were chosen to lead their re-
spective classes at elections held yes-
terday under the direction of the Stu-
dent council.
Hawkins won the engineering pres-
idency by defeating Eugene Cardwell,
'26E, who received 52 votes to Haw-
kins' 81. Cardwell was elected vice-
president of the class on the nextj
ballot. The secretaryship went to
Victor Owen, who scored 70 votes to l
60 for William Arnold. Joseph Graves
beat out William Day for the posi-
tion of treasurer. The election was1
held at the meeting of the class at|
11 o'clock yesterday.
Hacker had no opposition when the
senior class of the school of educa-
tion organized, being chosen unani-1
mously for the presidency. John Os-
born, was also then unanimous choice
of the class in the vote for treasurer.
Virginia Spain won the vice-presi-
dency when she defeated Mildred
Morrman by one vote. Irma Schultz
carried off the secretary's position
from two other candidates, both of
whom entered the final vote, due to
a tie on the nominating ballot.

Through a careful analysis of one
of the student's ledgers at a local
bank it has been discovered that over
90 per cent of the students' accounts
go below ten dollars during the
month. Fifty-one per cent of these
attempt to overdraw their account at
some time in the year, but this is
( lone mostly through carelessness,
bank officials state. The minimum
service charge on these "accounts be-
low $50" does not begin to cover the
extensive book work necessary to
handle the accounts, but it is useful
in eliminating worthless small die
posits.-
The number of bad accounts has[
steadily increased in the last few
years,. bank officers claim, due mostly
to the lowering of the general morale.
"A man used to be humiliated when
his bank told him he was overdrawn,"
one of the university branch banks
stated, "but now a fellow thinks he's
pretty good if he can get some extra
cash out of the bank for a few days.";
State street clothiers have little
trouble with absolutely worthless
checks. Their average bank note is
written for a larger sum than the
other mercantile establishments, and
except for the professional forgers
that come and go from the campus,
their student checks are honored.

BANKER BLAMES LOWER STUDENT
MORALE FOR BAD ACCOUNTS HERE

Oftentimes through carelessness, an
account is overdrawn, but the cus-I
tomer makes it good as soon as he
is notified.
Drug stores with their countless
small checks receive unhonored checks
more often. One State street phar-
macist claims that over $100 a year
is lost in this way in spite of the
required address and telephone num-
ber on each signature. It has been
suggested that all such accounts be
reported to some °organization, such
as The Daily, and in this way re-
ceive some publicity. A record would
be kept of bad checks, and the infor-
mation would be given to the mer-
chants.1
Co-eds are often too careless about
their finances, the photographers
state. Many are the "sweet young
things" who' come over on the Friday
before Christmas vacation, settle their
account by check, and then go im-
mediately to the bank and draw their
balance out before the photographer's
check has come through. Then the i
picture-taker waits a few months un-
til the financial depression of the I
yuletide season is over.
The situation at the book stores and
the Union is being improved through
careful watching on the part of the!
management.

The seniors of the architectural col-
lege selected Wild for the presidency
in preference to Russel Duncan, who
ran second. The closest balloting ofl
the day came when both the vice-.
presidency and the secretaryship of
the architectural class was decided by
one vote. Gilbert Richey took the*
former from Donald Warren and Man-
ford Wittingham defeated Orrin Grif-.
fith for the secretary's position. The
ballot in both races was 15 to 14.
Vernon Gibbs had a large majority
in the voting for treasurer.
The senior medical class, which
was authorized to hold its own meet-I
ing by the council, reported the re-I
sults yesterday. Wesley G. Reid, won
the presidency. Robert J. Cooper was
chosen vice-president, Luvern Hays,
secretary, and Ralph G. Hubbard,1
treasurer.
All these elections were supervised
by members of the Student council.
Ballots were saved, and will be re-
counted at the council offices at the'
Union, in order to check the counts
that were made yesterday. The new
type ballot continued to be used suc-
cessfully, according to the council-_
men who conducted the balloting.
Yesterday's voting completed thel
organization of the senior classes of:
all schools and colleges except the
'senior pharmacy class, which will
electe officers at a later date and re-I
port the results to the council. The
junior class and J-Hop elections will
be held next Wednesday and Thurs-
day.

policy, a measure of commendationc
today. It unanimously adopted a
resolution recommending one of his
plans for rehabilitation of the nation-
al defense by creating a separate
cabinet office to have control of three1
equal branches,-army, navy, and air.
For three days the resolution was
fought over and rearranged by com-
mittees, until it was found acceptable
to all parties.;
Thereby, what had promised to be
one of the hardest contests ever wit-
nessed on the floor of any of the
seven national conventions of the1
Legion was averted. The situation
was .,regarded as dangerous until the
usual recording of the vote.;
Colonel Mitchell refused twice to-p
day to become a witness before the;
federal court which decided to ques-
tion him concerning charges he has
made against the navy department in
connection with that department.
Appearing in obedience to sum-
mons from his superior officers at the
war department, the hitherto plain- I
spoken army officer, refused to take
the oath required from a witness.
When he refused to respond to a
subpoena issued by the court and
personally delivered to him.
What action, if. any, the heads of the
war department will take against the
officer who already is facing the
probability of court-martial proceed-
ings as a result of the Shenandoah
and other charges was undecided to-
night.
Both navy and army officials, seem-
ed to be agreed that the court will
turn Mitchell overhto federal district

ceedings.

UNION CMITE
FOR FISCAL YEAR1"
IAAMS SEEI'E 1S CHAIRMEN
'Iio APPI INT IISP('TIVE.
A SSISTAN\TS
FIVE NEW GROUPS
Form Conmnmitees On Det Lefures,
Tutorial, Alumni 1lutions And
Athiefle Reception
Chairmen of 16 Union committees,
who will hold office during; the pres-
ent school year, as named by Albert
B. Adams, '26, president of the Umiom,
and approved by the committee on
appointments, were announced late
yesterday. The appointments were
approved at a meeting of tme commit-
tee yesterday, and the chairmen in
turn selected their assistants upon
the advice of Adams. Among the ap-
pointmnents were 13 chairmen, who
will compose the executive council
of the Union, five of whom will head
new committees, 'and the th-ree chair-
men of the standing house committees.
Two assistants to Richard Barton, '26
recording secretary, were also named
The new committees created were
comnmi;ttees on debt, lectures, fresh-
man tutorial, alumni relations, and
athletic reception.
The debt committee will carry out
a new financial policy as regards the
delinquent subscriptions to the Union
building fund. It is the present plami
to fund the entire debt by means of
a camhpaign in which each delinquent
subscriber will be given an oppor-
tunity to either- renew omr cancel his
note. Students residing in cities
where delinquent subscribers live,
will be delegated to consult such' sub-
scribers in an effort to obtain their
attitude toward the matter during the
Christmas and Easter recesses. If
any such delinquents express them-
selves as not desiring to be members
of the Union, their cases will be
dropped and nu further effort will be
made to collect payments due, accord-
ing to the new plan.
The lectures committee was estab-
lished for the purpose of bringing the
more popular type of prominent men
here to address' students at the Union.
Hopes of arranging emgagements with
such personages as Chvarles Evans
[Iughes, Clarence Darrow,and execu-
tives of many largo industrial and
manufacturing concerns, have been
expressed in connectbUmn with the
committee's work. Talks by Fielding
H. Yost to students particularly in-
terested in athletics and by Profes-
sor E. i. Sunderland, business mama-
ger of the Board in Control of Stu-
dent Publications, to others inclined
towards the field of journalism, will
also be arranged, it is said.
The freshman tutorial c omnittee
will attempt to follow the systemnow
in vogue at Harvard between the fac-
ulty and student body, encouraging in-
timate relationship, except that the
faculty advice here will be confined
to freshmen. It is the plan to as'
sign every entering student to a fac-
ulty member who will act more in the
capacity of guardian than instructor
at different times during the year up-
on the reciuest of the student.
To assist the alumni in obtaining
suitable roomns at "phe Union and in
rooming houses here on special ac-
casions such as football games, the
May festival and Commencement, will
be one of the chief functions of the
alumni relations committee. The
plan now on foot calls for the com-
pilation of a temporary directory, oin
such occasions, li'ting the location of
alumni in the city, that former class-

mates may have some means of find-
ing each other while in this city.
The principal function of the ath-
letic reception commmittee will be to
co-operate with the Blue Key society
and to assist generally in arranging
entertainment for visiting' athletic
teams.
The life membership committee this
year will inaugurate a mnew plan for
i obtaining Union life iemuberships on
the campus. Freshmen will be offered
the regular $50 memberships f(r $35
if the total payment is umade h)y I)ec.
1, and correslponing (emductions will
be made in the life unmbership fee
to sophomore, junior, aml senio' stu-
dent s whereby they will be relieved
of the interest which would ordinarily
accrue on all paymenits made after
the original.
All commit tees will start function-
ig at once, Adams said yesterday.
The first meeting of the executive
council will be hel(d at 4 o'clock this
afternoon. The commniitt('e cii appoit-
ments which passed upon the various
