Heavy Balloting of Freshmen Result Of Organized Clubs Campaigning for Candidates

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the balloting unusually heavy in the Freshman primary election yesterday, John F. Brooks, E. Langdon Burwell, David D. Henry, Langdon P. Marvin, Jr., Eugene H. Nickerson, and Homer D. Peabody qualified for the run-off election to be held Thursday.

Several clubs were organized to boost certain candidates for office, one of which went so far in its enthusiasm as to paint the name of their candidate on the sidewalk in front of the Union. However, the maintenance department removed the campaign propaganda before the polls opened at noon.

Tellers for the election were Kendric N. Marshall '21, secretary of the Union, J. Spence Harvin '39, Student Council Member in charge of Freshman affairs, and Douglas Mercer '40.
