1925 AND 1926 TO VOTE FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS

RADICAL REFORM MADE IN SYSTEM OF ELECTION

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Almost 1500 men--approximately 700 Juniors and 770 Sophomores--are receiving this morning postal ballots for the election of the original members of next year's Student Council. Juniors are entitled to vote for seven men out of a list of fifteen nominees and Sophomores may vote for three out of eight men nominated from their class. The ten men finally elected will next fall choose five others--three members of the class of 1925 and two members of the class of 1926--to complete the total membership of the Council.

The list of nominees is as follows:

JUNIORS (7 TO BE ELECTED)

George Pierce Baker Jr. of Cambridge. Benjamin Franklin Rice-Bassett of New York City.

Edward Mauran Beals of Boston.

Alden Briggs of Brookline.

Gardner Cowles Jr. of Des Moines, Iowa.

Herbert Pelham Curtis of Boston.

Henry Traugott Dunker of Davenport, Iowa.

Malcolm Whelen Greenough of Boston.

Sylvester Baker Kelley of Reading.

Edward George Lowry Jr. of Washington, D. C.

Philip Hunter Robb of Boston.

Philip Spalding of Milton.

Philip Huntington Theopold of Faribault, Minnesota.

Philip Walker of North Brookfield.

Brooks Whitehouse of Portland, Maine.

SOPHOMORES (3 TO BE ELECTED)

Robert. Gray Allen of Andover.

Marion Adolphus Cheek of Brookline.

James Leland Combs of Long Beach, California.

Nathaniel Saltonstall Howe of New York City.

William Conckling Ladd of Cleveland, Ohio.

Joseph Carleton McGlone of Natick.

William Ichabod Nichols of Wilton, Connecticut.

Channing McGregory Wells of Southbridge.

The method of election to the Student Council and the composition of that body have been radically changed for next year. All ex-officio members have been eliminated and the system of choice has been made more popular. But the most important feature of the new system, according to its supporters, is the restriction in the size of the Council which it is hoped will make for a more efficient body in the future.

The Executive Committee of the present Council emphasized last night that ballots in the present election must be signed, and must be returned by 1 o'clock on Wednesday, May 25.
