Y. I. C. A WILL ELECT OFFICERS WEDNESDAY 10-4 AT BUNGALOW Only Girls Belonging; to Pro testant Evangelical Churches Allowed to Cast Votes The Y. W. C. A. will hold its an nual election of officers of the assoc-: iation tomorrow from 1 to 4 at the; Bungalow. The voting will be done by ballot and members will be al lowed to vote for other girls who were not formally announced by the committee, provided that they drop their names into the box before they vote. Fifty years ago when the Y. W. C. A. organized as a Christian or ganization as the name implies, it adopted what, then, seemed the best basis for voting membership; con sisting of girls who are members of Protestant Evangelical churches. This is still the basis embodied in the National constitution, however, in the last 50 years the association has outgrown this, and relaizes that it is no longer adequate as a basis for a college association. The only law making body which the Y. W. C- A. has is the National convention which meets every three years and at which time delegates from all local associations meet and consider the policies most needed for the association. At the last Nation al convention an amendment to the constitution was adopted providing for an alternate membership basis. The local association may choose be tween the old Protestant Evangelical basis and a personal basis of a dec laration of faith. Since this amend ment must be voted upon at two con secutive conventions to become a part of the constitution the next vote; will come at the National convention which will be held April 13-20 in Cleveland, Ohio, this year. This is not a personal matter on the part of the officers and members of the as sociation but the laws must be ad hered to strictly this year in order that the delegate which' the local as sociation will send to the convention may have a right to vote on the floor of the convention. The girls are asked by the officers of the as sociation to be big enough to. ad here to this order that the Univer sity of Oregon may have an op portunity to change the basis at the convention.

TAFT’S EX-CATERER COMPUS ACQUISITION New Cook at Bachelordon is Short, Genial Japanese Who Has Worked for Notables Henry, better known as “Togo”, j Naikai, the new Japanese cook, who: has just been secured by Bachelor-! don, is quite famous as a caterer, in diplomatic circles. At one time, he cooked for Vice - Admiral Wilson’s mess, in the Pacific fleet.. Later he crossed the continent as chef of former President Taft’s private train. He was next employed by Judge E. H. Gary, chairman and chief execu tive officer of the U. S. steel corpor ation, in his private kitchen. He was born in Wayakama, Japan,] in 1892, and came to America at the age of 19. He is just a shade over five feet tall, rather plump, and as good-natured as a pair of old shoes. After “retiring from diplomatic service”, he went to werk as pantry cook in one the coast’s most famous bakeries in Portland, Oregon, and has just been secured by Baehelordon; at a very great drain on the expense account of the house. “Mexico” and “too much costie”,; are Henry’s favorite expressions., “Mexico” is called forth when a pan cake burns, or someone robs his cup board, and “too much costie”, is the! inevitable answer when the boys ask for T-bone, pie and cake at the same meal.
