In a hotly contested race, Robert W. Brentlinger, Beta junior from Lima, defeated Phi Gam Bruce McKinnon for the of fice of Athletic Representative last spring. One of the few candidates of the “United for Service” party to be elected, Brent- linger won by a vote of 806 • 429 and carried all four classes by a large majority.
Brentlinger’s first bid for a Student Council post was in 1941 when he ran for Sophomore class president. He was defeated by six votes in a three candidate election.
He assumed his duties as athletic repre sentative this fall, and since elections have been postponed until next semester, will continue in that capacity until the new in cumbent is elected. The duties are to act as the student body representative to the Athletic Board and carry out liason activities between that group and the student council.
Brentlinger entered Ohio Wesleyan in the fall of 1940, and pledged Beta Theta Pi immediately. Since then, he has be come one of the most prominent men on the campus. A business administration major, he is a member of the Freshman Bible Club, a district chairman of the Century Club, and member of the “NV” Clan. His main efforts are directed toward the-sports field, where he has already earned three fresh man numerals and six varsity letters in football, basketball, track, and tennis.
“Brent”, as he is known to his fraternity brothers, has been very active in chapter affairs. He has held several offices, in-chiding vice-president, and is at present guiding Theta Chapter as its chief executive officer. He is a member of the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps.
