electrically operated board in the
men’s gymnasium, while students
dance to the tunes of a college or

Miss MaeLarcn has a varied rep
ortoire of plays. Just which one
she will give here is not yet known.
However, she renders each with un
usual aptitude. She enacts several
characters, giving each the posture
and personality, through varied idio
syneraeies of manner and speech,
which makes the character most ef
fective. Newspaper criticisms pro
claim her an intelligent performer
and faultless artist.

On Political Questions
OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Cor
vallis, Oct. 23.—(P.I.P.)—Hoover or
Smith? Of course, Oregon State

party shall be elected to power in
the coming presidential campaign?”

What Oregon
Students Think
Campus Vieics on Day’s
Topics Are Gathered
By Inquiring Reporter
Today’s Question: Do you think
that it is right for the churches to
take away the right for students to
vote on city questions?
dial Nooe, senior in journalism:
•‘Same old stuff, churches trying to
interfere with anything that might
have a tendency to detract from
church attendance and well-filled
collection plates.”
Eleanor Welcome, sophomore in
education: “Students spend enough
money in this city to justify them
voting on city questions. 1 do not
believe the churches have a right to
prevent students from voting.”
“We pay taxes—why shouldn’t
we vote,” stated James Terrv, jun
ior in pre-medics.
Bill Baltic, junior in pre law: “I
do not think the churches should in
fringe on the students’ right to vote
on city questions because any stu
dent who is twenty-one years old
and enjoys the privilege of voting
is as much interested as any other
citizen of the city, owing to the fact
that the houses pay municipal taxes.
The question is undoubtedly one of
personal prejudice.”
Lcs Fait, junior in business admin
istration: “In mv opinion, students
at the University of Oregon should
be allowed to vote on civic questions
since a great deal of business conies
to the merchants of Eugene from
the students themselves.”
