JIM MARTIN
Other Greeks elected were

er. Both were unopposed.

Hall poll 238 to 161. Martin
registered a sound victory at
Creswell Hall, 25 5 to 98.
In high school Martin held
a number of honors including
president of the student body,
class president, exchange stu-
Ident to Turkey, Atlanta Journ
al’s Most Outstanding Senior,
varsity track team and Nation-
I al Honor Society.
He ran on a platform promis
ing to "organize all freshman
talent, guide it toward worth
while projects, and unify ef
forts of freshman organiza
tion.”
Miss Behr is a Sigma Delta
Tau pledge from LaOrange.
Parker, an Alpha Tau Omega
pledge from Hartwell, is secre
tary-treasurer of his pledge
class, a member of the Fresh
man Men’s Council, and at
tended Freshman Camp.
Polls were open from 8 a.m.
to 3 p.m. A total of 752 votes
were cast in the election. More
than 2,000 students are regis
tered as freshmen.
