CHEEK WILL HEAD STUDENT COUNCIL

Marion Adolphus Cheek Jr. '26, of Berkeley, Cal., was elected President of the Student Council at its organization meeting last night.

The other officers elected were: Vice-President, Nathaniel Saltonstall Howe '26 of New York City; secretary, James Laurence Carroll Jr. '26 of Melrose; treasurer, Williard Lewis Tibbetts Jr. '26 of South Boston.

These officers, with three other men appointed last night, will comprise the Executive Committee of the Student Council. The three other men are John James Maher '26 of Bridgeport, Conn.; Frederick Vanderbilt Field '27 of New York City, and Carl Gustave Ture Lundell '27 of Dorchester.

Carroll to Succeed Martin

The Student Council discussed the cheerleading situation at length. The resignation of the temporary chairman of the committee, E. W. Martin '26, was accepted, and J. L. Carroll '26 was appointed in his place. The other members of the committee are G. D. Debevoise '26, Thayer Cumings '26, and Delmar Leighton '17. The competition for cheerleaders will start as soon as this committee can get together.

H. E. Wiener '26, publisher of the Register, attended the meeting, and Register affairs were placed in the hands of a committee of two: J. C. McGlone '26, chairman, and E. C. Aswell '26.

A committee was also formed to investigate the polo situation. It is felt that in view of the polo team's success last year and of the increasing interest in the game, recognition should be given the players and polo should be placed on a minor sport basis. The committee appointed to consider this question was composed of J. N. Watters '26, chairman, and C. G. T. Lundell '27.

Delcevare King Protests Again

Another matter considered by the Student Council last night was the changing of the class colors. Attention was called to a letter written by Delcevare King '95, during the summer, protesting against the present class colors.

Mr. King wrote that at the dinner of the class of 1898 last June, the colors most in evidence were those of the celebrating class, blue and white. This was especially annoying to him because that afternoon the blue of Yale had waved triumphant on the baseball diamond. Nowhere, Mr. King wrote, was there a sign of crimson, Harvard's color.

Suggests Crimson In Class Colors

Mr. King also called attention to the fact that the colors of the other classes were orange and black, and green and white. Protesting at the wearing of Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth colors by Harvard graduates at their class reunions, the writer suggested that the colors be changed so that each class should have crimson for a part of its colors. For his own class he advocated blue and crimson, making especial note of the fact that crimson must not be confused with vermilion.

Mr. King is a banker and a citizen of Quincy. He gained prominence two years ago when he ran a contest for the most cutting name for a breaker of the prohibition law. "Scofflaw" was the winning word.

The Student Council was inclined to look upon Mr. King's proposal with some favor, and G. D. Debevoise '26 was appointed to consider the matter.

There will be one more meeting of the Student Council this month for the purposes of further organization, and thereafter meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of early month.
