Literary Class Of '32 Will Hold
Balloting In Natural Science
Auditorium At 4 O'Clock
CHANGE PLACE OF POLLS
Indications are the State Street
and Washtenaw machines will'both
be on hand at 4 o'clock this after-
noon in Natural Science auditorium
to settle the freshman literary
class elections, and lock horns for
the last time this year.
State Street is said to be appeal-
ing for support on their platform
of "Campus Politics Shot Square"
and Washtenaw on their platform
of "Our Party, Win or Lose."
The freshman elections today
will brimg to a conclusion the most
bitterly fought series of political
battles that the campus has ever
seen.
The freshman elections are being
held today instead of later in the
month in order to give the State
Street machine less opportunity to
organize, according to a confes-
sion Monday by a prominent coun-
cilman, '29, Washtenaw.
He confessed to men prominent
in the State Street machine thatn
whenehe heard last Saturday that
Washtenaw was organized for the
freshman elections, he phoned
John Gilmartin, '29E, councilman in
charge of class elections, to hold
the election as soon as possible in
order to prevent the organization
of two parties and the bitter fac-
tional feeling accompanying such
organization.
