HEAVY FIRST DAY VOTE IN S. B. ELECTIONS Every Registered Student in the University Entitled to Cast a Vote. Yesterday's vote for the Student Board was quite heavy. The voting will remain open today and tomorrow and every student should make it a point to cast his vote. The polls are open in the Trophy Room of Earl Hall from 9:00 A. M. to 5:00 P. M.

NO SLUMP AS YET IN HEAVY VOTING All Members of University Except Extension Students Allowed to Vote. POLLS CLOSE AT 5:00 P. M. Much more interest has been shown in the Student Board elections this year was manifested last year in the same time. On the first day of the elections this year a total of 359 votes were cast which is more than twice as many as last year, when the vote was only 159. The number of votes cast on the first day this year surpasses the record for many years past. Yesterday's vote was somewhat smaller since only 223 ballots were cast. This is, however, nearly as large a figure as last year when 271 people voted on the second day. Last year's total for the first two days of the elections is far below that of this year. Only 430 were cast on the first two days as compared to 582 on the first two days this year. According to the statistics of last year, the vote…
