LLOYD 0. WARNE MADE PRESIDENT OF COLLEGE CLUB Thomas

R. Doyle Elected Vice-President

Mr. Lloyd 0. Warne of Sioux Falls, D., was chosen to lead the St. Viator College Club during t he scholastic vear 1929-1930. Previous to the ~ lection a warm campaign was entered into by the backers of both nominees to the presidency, Mr. Lloyd 0. Warne and Mr. H. Paul Mills. A more intense battle for the position has not been witnessed before in the history of the Club. The unexpected withdrawal of Mr. Mills fro m the presidential race on the eve of the election threw his political camp into co nfusion and left the field open for an easy victory for the Warne faction. The sudden retraction of Mr. Mill's nomination was made necessary when, subsequent to his nomination, he learned of a new job which will require every minute of his spare time next year. His withdrawal was sincm·ely r egretted by his man y fr iends who had cherished visions of a successful year under the Mills banner of prosperity.

New P residen t Capable The College Club wns exceedingly fortunate in securing the service of a man like Warne to act as president.

Mt. Warne is one of the most stud ents on the carnpus. He matricu lated as a freshman at St. Viator on the opening of th e second se mester in 1928. During t he past year he represented the sophomo1·e class at all Advisory Board meetings. His class, to a man, are back of him. Mr. \\'arne came to the fore during the past winter and early spring as a debater. The yo un gest member of the traveling team , he was a vita l element in the very r ernarkable success enjoyed by t hat division of the Bergin De bating Society . His steadfast ambition and evident ability in all undertakings were most probably the important factors in his practically un animous selection as next year's College Clu b president.
