The draw is to be run off In another election Thursday. Included among those officially for office are: Fnlton Aber- vice president of the student Cecil Jeffcoat, treasurer; Hazel Robert Padgett, of the Crimson; Frances Harris, editor of Bntre Nous; Mardls Howie, business manager of Eotre Nous; Mary Bain, editor of Bull Pup; and Braxton B. Carr, busi¬ ness manager of the Bull Pnp. The run-off Thursday will deter¬ mine the final result of a two months campaign waged by each of the op¬ posing parties. Johneon, a foil time reporter for the Birmingham Age- Herald, bases his claim to election on a platform of previous Journalistic ex¬ perience, having served as assistant editor of the Howard Crimson in 1928, as editor of the Freeh man Crimson the same year, and at present being editor of the Sophomore edition of the Crimson. His opponent, Harry Cohen, has an excellent scholastic record, and since bis matriculation Jn 1929 has been prominent in oratory and debating here. At present, he is head of the Forensic Club. He Is also a member of the Crimson staff, and was editor of the 1930 junior edition. The elections Tuesday followed on tho heels of a concentrated campaign of propaganda condemning lineups in politics, during which the Sigma Nn Fraternity, the Pi Kappa Alpha Fra¬ ternity, the Chi Sigma Gamma Fra¬ ternity, and the Alpha Delta Pi So¬ rority announced their withdrawal from Inter-fraternity political affilia¬ tions. It Is predicted in political circle* on the campus that the run-off Thura» day, in many sensee a focal point of Interest, will be featured by the heaviest vote ever cast In Howard College. Both candidates have a large number of backers, and with these standing pat, the issue is ex¬ pected to depend largely upon the students who did not vote Tuesday. thrilled the University of Maine dents and the old grads as well.
