At least once a week (and sometimes twice or three times) someone was electing someone else or something to do, serve, or amuse the students.

Scratched ballots were a rarity, and deals were numerous. These scenes should look familiar: Politicking on the Organized ticket . . . the Independent campaign committee hard at work . . . Sophomore Cotil- lion Queen election . . . the Flame Club ready to pounce ... a serious election . . . checking the poll list . . . the die is cast . . . ready for some serious thought in private . . . end of the line. 24
