eastern intercollegiate and na tional collegiate wrestling cham pion gave reasons for the contin ued success of engineer mat teams through the years under coach billy sheridan as he addressed the lions club's fifteenth annual dinner in honor of the engineers yesterday coach sheridan student manag er roy zachary bus 41 and nine members of the varsity squad were guests bishop said full credit was due to sheridan for the consistently good teams turned out by lehigh first his knowledge of the sport is probably the most profound of any teacher secondly he knows how to teach the principles of the sport his system of try-outs gives every member of the squad an equal opportunity to compete for places on the team before each meet bishop told the club bishop took the opportunity to criticize the point-scoring system and suggested that more exper ienced officials be sought if the system is to be continued as more responsibility is placed on the re feree in making decisions now than ever before coach sheridan expressed ap preciation of the team and said that while the records show that this year's team was not the best in lehigh's history no team ever worked harder howland gives lecture on symbols of church arcadia will conduct a poll of the entire student body dur ing the first week in april in a final attempt to sound out stu dent opinion on the type of elections system to be used in the selection of lehigh's class officers this was decided wednesday night at a special meeting of ar cadia called to hear and discuss the report of the elections commit tee and to decide on the elections system to be used this year as was the case last year the student body has completely ig nored the pleas of the elections committee for an expression of opinion on the elections system of the 1000 communications re quested in the columns of the brown and white several weeks ago but two were received by the committee arcadia was not satis fied that the final committee report as submitted wednesday night re flected the majority of student opinion and so has decided to give the students one more chance to make their views known everyone given chance if this poll is not satisfactory arcadia will have to chose the el ections system arbitrarily no stu dent will then be in a position to say he was not given a chance to make his opinions known if the selected system does not meet his approval arcadia feels mimeographed questionnaires will be distributed to each frater nity president and dormitory sec tion chief each leader will be ask ed to see that each man in his liv ing group vote for one of three op tions to be offered the town group and commuters will be contacted through their town section chiefs they may vote in the arcadia office in drown hall the questionnaire will present a choice of three systems of elec tions they are 1 nominations entirely by the student body fostering election eering 2 nominations by a nominating committee announced in advance of the elections with an opportun ity for men not nominated to pe tition for admission to the slate this would also foster electioneer ing 3 nominations entirely by a nominations committee as
