throughout the city.
The drive has been carried on by

his interest in civic affairs.

Plans Abandoned
On Freshman Fire
At Group Meeting
Officers for the ensuing year
were elected last night by the
freshman class during their meet
ing at McArthur court. Plans for
the traditional frosh bonfire were
halted by a report from Joe Gur

distance of the fire site from the

ities.
