ELECTION BACK ONE WEEK
Ten members of the Board of Con­trol
were present when President
Gus Pagels called the group to
order Wednesday afternoon. One
visitor and several spectators were
there to observe the board in ac­tion.
The visitor was Neil Johnston,
who represented Gordon Sanstad.
A letter from Sanstad, IRC presi­dent,
was read to the governing
body by president Pagels. The letter
was a request from the IRC that
the board join it in sponsoring an
essay contest, the details of which
are not available at this time. The
board discussed the plan among
themselves and with Johnston. Theh
final decision was to cooperate with
the IRC in sponsoring the contest,
and to contribute $25 to a fund for
its prizes.
The, group then heard a letter oi
resignation from George Dowd, Col­legian
editor. They accepted his
resignation, effective immediately.
Then they gave him a unanimous
vote of thanks for his splendid work
as editor during the past two quar­ters.

B. Earle, Student Co-op manager,
was in the hospital due to a surgical
operation. Earle will be in the hos­pital
for several weeks. His doctors
announce that he is doing as well
as could be expected.
In Earle's absence, • Mrs. Betty
Sarvis will manage the Co-op. ,
Next the board considered the sad
case of Elmer Nymeyer. Elmer is a ,
freshman who inadvertently burned,
up his student body ticket along
with the covers of his registration
booklet. He brought the matter to
president Pagel's attention, and
Pagels laid it before the board. The
board directed that, since the ticket
was destroyed, Nymeyer be issued a
new one free of charge.
Due to a conflicting holiday, the
group decided to have winter quarter
general elections Monday of the
ninth week instead of Wednesday
of the eighth week. President^Pa­gels
was then directed to appoint a
committee to recommend constitu­tional
changes in order to avoid such
difficulties in the future.
