Two St. Louis residents have become Dillard’s king and queen for the next academic school year in an election in which four out of 10 students voted.

Meanwhile, nominations for class councils are scheduled for April 20, with the primary elections set for April 28 and the runoff, if necessary, on April 29, according to the Office of Student Affairs.
