“The hour has been set aside,” Miss Working said, “because many of the students have requested it, and we hope that they will now take advantage of the opportunity.”
The coming election for student body officers was discussed and the constitutional provision on the matter was presented to the legislators. The student elections must take place before Oct. 30 when the present term of office expires. Miss Working presented the name of Brownlee Hubble as
elections commissioner and the appointment was approved by the senators.
Under the provision* that two qualified members of the senate should be appointed as assistant elections commissioners, Miss Working appointed Jean Welch and Frank McMahon to assist Hubble.
A request for a reduction in the grade point requirement for senate members was read by Joe Holt and discussed by the senate. A proposal that the grade average be changed to a 1.3 cumulative and for the term preceding elections was made.
Joe Holt announced on behalf of Trojan Knight a joint dance with UCLA following the football game Sept. 23. Plans are underway for the appearance of a name band, Holt said.
The name of Jim Harris was presented to the senate to head the coming War Chest drive under the War Board. The appointment was approved by the legislators.
Randy Phillips moved that the meeting be adjourned and the move was seconded and passed, the members withdrawing at 8:05 p.m,
Wegee Bord, prexy of the Amalgamated Federation of Prophets, has announced that his organization’s annual booby prize will be given to the Wampus staff * for their efforts in prophesying the publication date of today's Wamp.

The prize is a replica of a snail going backwards. It is modeled in glue.
Jealousy in the El Rodeo office is said to be running high.
Acting Editor Pat Conrad was not available for comment.
She could not be reached.
Her staff was. however, quite con* fident that she could be persuaded to come down off the Student Union roof. •
Intimates claim she has the feeling that perhaps there is someone on the roof who doesn't know the Wamp is finally out. Or will be at 10 a.m.
