M. Fisher, who is losing hope of ever disposing of the horde of ownerless articles, especially the umbrellas. 24 SENIORS ELECTED TO PHI BETA KAPPA (Continued from page one) were elected to the honor society. At the present time, 37 of the men and women on the faculty of the University are members of Phi Beta Kappa.

For instance: “When a man can get by on the campus for three years like this man has done, he deserves the job! ” That statement is open to several different interpretations. One of our votes has been defin itely decided upon. A man who has such strength of character and such an engaging personality that he can attain “a wide acquaintance among his friends” should be a credit to any office. The falling of a bench seems to hold more interest for students and to cause more craning of necks than does the announcement of an unex pected candidacy. * « • After all, despite the absence of the passionate mud slinging element in Oregon politics, the political at mosphere has a tang of keen inter est and busy activity that has a not unwholesome effect. Mud is diffi cult to remove, anyway. GIBIiS’ JUNIOR COLLEGE ENTERTAINS H. S.
