Etection of Officers Completed in One Session For First Time in Several Years John Laurens Mills, of Camden, was elected president of the senior class at a meeting held in the Law Building Wed nesday morning during chapel period. He is consequently the president of the stu dent body, for according to Carolina tradition the office is one and the same. The balet for the last two years has been very close. Last year's race be tween DeLorme and Fishburne being de cided after three ballots, DeLorme being the victor. This year the class must have known who it wanted for only one ballot was necessary for any office. Emmett Hdwle of Darlington was also nominated for president, and was upon a motion elected vice-president by acclamation. One ballot was sufficient to nominate Miss Virginia McSwain, secretary-treas urer of the class, and Clyde White, his torian. Usually, there has not been suffi :ient time to elect all the officers in one day, but this year they were run off so quickly that the meeting went into elec tion of honor oommittees. By receiving the highest number of votes, Jim Hicks and Miss Elizabeth Barrow automatically became chairmen of senior class and co ed committees, respectively. The other members are LeRhea Counts and Marion Swink. Mills is also president of the Chanti cleer Club of the University, and earned his letter al a tackle on the Gamecock football team last year. "Hick" as he is better known to most of us, has a host of friends on the campus, who re joice over the honor acoorded him.
