Femme’s Interest in Campus
Politics at Last Uncovered
By LA VINA HICKS
“Why are women interested in
campus politics?’’
“Because men are,” explained
Social Side
Helen unaney,
k one of the many
good-looking co
, eds who is a
staunch poli t i -
cian. “And be
sides, it’s fun to
go to a political
meeting and
meet all the
-handsome, “big’’
men on the cam
pus,” she added.
‘•Mob psychology,” seems to be
the secret of woman’s interest, ac
cording to Lois Nelson. “Women
don’t deserve the right to vote
unless they take it more serious
ly.”
“It’s all a huge game and such
4 an exciting activity,” is the opin
ion of Bernice Woodard, another
strong “femme” politician. "Then
| of course, there are some girls who
are influenced by the dancing ai*J
social side of politics,” she added
rather coyly.
All in all we wonder how many
co-eds actually enter the political
field to see the better man win
for the benefit of the campus.
Or do they go in because of
promises of social prestige by get
ting certain appointments if they
follow certain parties?
Or do they go in with certain
parties because a certain fellow
who has planted a-certain pin on
them, is a staunch advocate of
that certain party ?
Or do they go in because a cer
tain politician with a heavy line
has rushed them off their feet?
Has called them for dates every
night prior to election? (They nev
; er wake up till afterward to the
fact that those dates terminate
the night of elections and they
never hear from them again.)
“Why are women interested in
j politics?”

To Appreciate Beauty

the things you are dreaming
about,” said Burt Brown Barker,

in art appreciation.

fact that one must begin now what
he hopes lb achieve later, and that
appreciation of art cannot be put
off until a later time, because the
powers of appreciation are lost
unless they are used.
"If ever you get this love of ap
preciation of beauty it goes with
you wherever you are. I venture
the assertion that if you have the
love of the beautiful in your heart
it will never leave you,” Mr. Bar
ker concluded.

Campus Praises
‘Oregon Knights
Night’ Broadcast
Three Fraternity Trios
Receive Encores From
Listeners
By THORNTON GALE
, Encores and telephone messages
of congratulation time after time
interrupted the “Oregon Knights’
Night” Emerald of the Air radio
program, broadcasting over KORE
at 8 o’clock last night.
Art Potwin, director, character
ized it as “the best radio program
to be yet broadcast. Karl Greve,
president of Oregon Knights was
in charge of arrangements for the
musical numbers.
The three fraternity trios, A. T.
O., Sigma Nu, and Theta Chi
drew a maximum of praise for
their vocal work. “Sing" Harper,
“Spec” Stevenson, and “Torry”
Shell, represented the A. T. O. The
Sigma Nu trio was made up of
Bill McLaren, Kelly Slocum, and
Bob Goodrich, yhe Theta Chi trio
was composed of Mike Griffin,
Bill McNabb, and Rod Lamont.
Bob Goodrich, junior vodvil star
sing several specialty numbers,
accompanied by Vinton Hall on
the piano. Wallie Palmer accom
panied by Ray Burts on the piano,
played a trumpet solo that drew
many requests for encores from
the radio audience. Bob Guild,
sang two solos, that drew much
praise from hearers.
Sally Addleman accompanied by
Josephine Scott on the piano, sang
to an appreciative audience, "If
You Believe in Me” and “In My
Little Hope Chest.”
Harold Moulin, marimba artist,
played two highly successful num
bers on his instrument. The third
episode of “Guilfin and His Gal”
continuity stunt, written by Bob
Guild and acted by him and Jewel
Ellis, is receiving a lot of comment
both in town and on the campus.

Ex-Candidate
Exponent Of
Individuality
Pledges To Support Laird
For A.S.U.O. President
In Meeting
CAMPAIGNING INTENSE
Executive Senior Man
Candidates Remain
Big Mystery
By DAVE WILSON
Cal Bryan withdrew his candi
dacy for the student body presi
dency last night at a meeting of
Laird followers. In an official
statement made for publication,
Bryan said:
"I wish to announce to the stu
dents that I have definitely with
drawn from the race for the pres
idency of the A. S. U. O., and in
so doing I wish to take the op
portunity to express my apprecia
tion to those who have been work
ing with me on the new idea of
politics on an individual basis. I
am retiring from the race in favor
of Chuck Laird, to whom I will
give my personal support."
Names Not Run
If the parties supporting Chuck
Laird and George Cherry in the
current presidential campaign have
chosen candidates for the new of
fice of executive senior man, they
do not choose to run their names
in the newspapers as yet.
The leaders of the two parties
are apparently counting to use the
psychological force of withholding
the identity of the new members
of their tickets until the nomina
tion assembly to be held at 11
o'clock tomorrow morning at Ger
linger hall.
Election Determines Legality
As explained in yesterday’s Em
erald, the legality of the office of
the candidate elected to be senior
executive man will depend upon
the passage of the new student
body constitution, which is to be
voted upon at the regular May
election.
The creation of the new office
is designed to give student mem
bers of the executive council more
voting power in comparison to
faculty members.
The complete text of the new
constitution is to be published in
tomorrow’s Emerald, in accord
ance with the provision of the old
constitution which requires publi
cation of constitutional changes a
week in advance of election day.
Offices May Have New Names
Under the terms of the pro
posed code the title of the present
senior woman would become "ex
ecutive woman.” The junior man
would become "junior finance of
ficer," and James Dezendorf, the
junior man elected a year ago,
would be “senior finance officer”
next year.
As the day for nominations
nears, campaigning on the campus
becomes more and more intense.
Laird held meetings for support
ers Monday night and last night,
and the Cherry party followed an
open-air rally held Monday night
with a meeting at Friendly hall
last evening.
Musician Distinguishes Self
In Last Evening’s Recital
Once again Malcolm Medler,
blind musician who has disting
uished himself on the campus both
as a pianist and organist, has
given a Eugene audience a mem
orable evening of music.
Last night was the occasion of
i Mr. Medler’s graduate piano re
cital and he played before a large
audience that was deeply impressed
with the technical ability, musical
| quality and poise with which he
1 played. He is the student of Jane
j Thacher.
Peggy Sweeney, violinist and
I pupil of Rex Underwood, was Mr.
I Medler’s assistant.
The Beethoven C-minor sonata
was his opening number and he
did it very well, particularly the
: adagio movement in which he at
tained fine repose. His tones were
full and rounded and his phrasing
was good.
In his Chopin group Mr. Medler
showed much versatility. His in
1 terpretatlon of the Maiden’s Wish
(Chopin-Lizt) seemed particularly
pleasing to the audience. It was
gracefully done. In the Etude No.
10 the University pianist played
brilliantly and with much verve.
His final group was nicely select
ed, opening with the Brahms in
termezzo in E-flat, played with
much feeling. The dramatic' F
sharp minor rhapsody was the fi
nal number.
Miss Sweeney is a violinist of
exceptional ability. She played
two movements from the Cecil
Burleigh Indian concerto No. 45.
Her tones are rich and vital and
she feels closely the atmosphere
of the music. Geraldine Gardner
was Miss Sweeney’s accompanist.
Fraternity men at Northwestern
are attempting to gain the privi
lege of staying in sorority houses
until 1 o’clock of week-ends and
the women are seeking the sanc
tion of their visiting the men’s
houses at specific times without
an escort.
