'56 Elects Smoker Committee; Hearst Chosen on Second Ballot

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Seventy-six percent of the freshman class was interested enough in the plight of Peter S. Hearst and the pre-election tantrums of seven other candidates to elect them to the Freshman Smoker Committee.

Hearst's name had been omitted accidentally from the original ballot, the Student Council printed up a second version, this time with all 24 names, and a revote was held Wednesday afternoon.

Those elected were: John W. Coolidge, Jr. of Cambridge and Matthews; John T. Dwyer of Hopkinton and Dudley; James M. Fitzgibbons of Duxbury and Massachusetts; Seymour Goldstaub of West New York, New Jersey and Weld; Peter S. Hearst of Palatine, III. and Massachusetts; Richard M. Oehmler of Pittsburgh and Hollis; J. Brock Stokes of Nashville, Tenn, and Hollis; and Irving K. Zola of Mattapan and Thayor.
