my God ! '' That evening Olva was elected President of the Wolves . It was a ceremony conducted with closed doors and much drinking of wine , by a committee of four and the last reigning President who had the casting vote . The College waited in suspense and at eleven o'clock it was understood that Dune had been elected . According to custom , on the day following in `` Hall '' Olva would be cheered by the assembled undergraduates whilst the gods on the dais smiled gently and murmured that `` boys will be boys . '' Meanwhile the question that agitated the Sauline world was the way that Cardillac would take it . `` If it had been any one else but Dune ... '' but it could n't have been any one else .
