Calkins, Flynn Lead Sophomores, Freshmen in Council Selections

Five Freshmen and Sophomores were chosen by their classmates to represent them on the Student Council in a twoday balloting which closed last night. A tie for fourth place in the 1946 voting necessitated an addition electee to the planned slate of four.

The newly elected members will meet with the remainder of the Council at 7:30 o'clock this evening to select a president and secretary for the student governing body. Accelerated programs required elections at this time and selection of men in the two younger classes, an innovation since the outbreak of war.

Hugh Calkins of Winthrop House and Newton led the Sophomore voting with 184 ballots, 30 more than runner-up Dean M. Hennessy of the Varsity Club and Chicago, who totaled 154 votes.

Next in line from 1945 were James E. McNulty, Jr. of Eliot House and Oak Park, Illinois with 147, and a tie of 123 votes between Sidney O. Smith, Jr. of Kirkland House and Gainesville, Georgia, and Peter Garland of Lowell House and Buzzards Bay.

Flynn Leads Freshmen

Leading the Freshmen was Wallace J. Flynn of the Varsity Club and Arlington, who tallied the largest total of the day with 185 ballots. He was followed by Paul L. Miller of Weld Hall and Merriam, Kansas, and by Blaise F. Alfano of Roslindale.

A deadlock between Michael D. Fansler of Adams House and Logansport, Indiana, and Frederick W. Flickinger of Weld Hall and Indianapolis required the extension of Freshman representation. Each man had 127 votes cast his way.

Among the electees were representatives from five of the Houses, two from the Yard, and one commuter. Only one student elected was from west of the Mississippi, while four of the ten are from the Mid-West.

This evenings selecting of Council officers was made necessary by the resignations of President Thomas Matters and Secretary Adam Yarmolinsky at the Council's meeting last week. John Richardson, the group's treasurer, had already resigned and been replaced by John Kennedy '44, Kennedy, who is currently in charge of the Service Fund drive which the Council has been sponsoring since the fall, will remain in office.
