Senior Class Still Without President Pending Decision Renner Declares Action Rests With Labbe With Edmond Labbe, this year’s junior class president, still absent from the campus yesterday on his jaunt to Seattle with the Webfoot golf team, questions as to who will head next year’s senior class re mained unanswered today. Joseph Renner, student body president, said yesterday that ac tion on the matter as to who will take the place of Tom McCall, top man in balloting who was ruled not elected by the judiciary committee this week because of his write-in election, will have to be taken by Labbe, who, as junior class presi dent, was in charge of the election. Eade Backers Protest Campus political leaders were still of the opinion that Grant Eade, who lost to McCall in the election by some 20 votes, would automatically succeed to the office. Labbe is expected to refer the question to the judiciary committee for an official ruling. Should Eade not automatically succeed to the office a special election may be necessary. Labbe was expected to return some time last night and may take action on the matter today.

Robert Cathey To Announce For Pagent Smooth Voice Wins Post Behind Microphone For Junior Man Robert Cathey, the junior man with the smooth, rich voice, that will blend in perfectly with the soft strains of the orchestra to night as he tells the imaginative story embodied in the idea of each float, was chosen master of cere monies at the tryouts last night. Five men tried for the coveted place behind the microphone: Frank Levings, Earl Bucknum, William Marsh, Harlow Thompson, and Robert Cathey. Each aspir-> ant was given several chances in order to give the judges a fair basis for their decision, but the superior quality of Cathey’s tones and delivery won him the posi tion. Has Radio Experience Cathey has had several years of experience in radio work and his voice has the dramatic quality that training in drama has given it. He is a transfer from Whitman col lege where he was prominent in school activities. Richard Watkins is author of the continuity that will introduce each float and weave the fanciful tale that surrounds it.
