Night Law School Election Fails To Effect Candidates
Elections at Law Night School last evening failed to make a change in the results of the recent A. S. B. elections held May 10. The only change that might have been made by the Night School balloting was in the contest for office of Vice-President of the Student Body. This reversal failed to materialize, however, for, although Miss Seaver won last night's election by a 32 to 8 vote, Miss Smith’s former lead of 81 gave her a 57 majority and the office of Vice-President.
Only 40 votes were cast and many of these voted for only the Vice-President. This number is much less than was expected by Law politicians.
The total vote follows: President—Silke 12, Wolfe 9, Kerslake 9; Vice-President— Seaver 32, Smith 8; Secretary— Smith 14, Edgin 13, White 3; “Trojan” Editor—Carle 16, King 13; El Rodeo Editor—Crist 20, Mattson 9; Yell King—Kennedy 18, McCann 9; Graduate Member, Executive Committee—Calland 21, Martin 10, Tobie 9.

EL RODEO FIRST
El Rodeo is awarded the cast-iron tooth brush for being first with a review of the junior play. Beating the Trojan with the news, it appears with the announcement that Ruth Seaver and Ted Hansen scored decided successes in the parts for which they were cast.
The other members of the production also received a great deal of applause, according to the book.
Great credit should be given to the editors of the El Rodeo for their promptness in getting news, hot off the bat, as it were, and getting a scoop on any other publication. Pictures of the cast are featured in the write-up, as well as a criticism that

Arnold Eddy, manager, says: “If all the organizations had paid up, El Rodeo would have come out on Thursday, so lay off the editors and place the blame for this further delay elsewhere.” Arnold added with vehemence and feeling that he was not going to hunt around for those who still owed him money, but
ones are elected by Sigma Sigma as fulfilling the requirements which it demands. These include prominence in either the field of athletics, forensics. literature or in any of the many othor ?ampus activities.
Dr. Von KieinSmid. In an address at the annual Sigma Sigma banquet, stated the difference between the junior and senior honor fraternities. “Membership in the ^enior honorary fraternity, coming as it does at the end of four years of collegiate work, is essentially an honor and award, while Sigma Sigma gives not primarily an award but an urge to accomplish even greater things in the remaining year of college life.”
NAVAL MEN GIVING MEDICALLECTURES
Lieut. C. H. Castle. M. C.. U. S. Naval Reserve, will give a second lecture this afternoon at four o'clock in Hikw Hill, Room 206. The lecMire will be on “Naval Technique and the Blue Jackets ’ Manual.” These lectures are not only meant for the newly enrolled men of the Naval Reserves, but also for all students who are interested.
On Thursday, May 31. Dr. Osborn, also of the Naval Reserve, will lecture on “Ear, Eye, Nose, and Throat.” Dr. Osborn is a well known ear, eye, nose, and throat specialist. IJeut. Comd'r. Murietta, an eminent surgeon, will lecture on “First Aid and Minor Srugery on Thursday, June 7.

have given better support in every way to the year-book than any of the other colleges. Particular credit is given to Trent Huls and Fred Olds, who as manager and editor of the dental section, gave that college the best annual it has ever had.
Success of the law section is largely due to the efforts of Charlie Oden, who acted as the editor of the lawyers’ book in the absence of Francis Jones, who was forced to leave school on account of illness. Financial matters for the law pages were handled by Ted Hauser.
