Tom 'Stoddard, president of the student body, has writ ten a very polite note request ing the co-operation of the law school student body in keeping up the tradition. But have the students re sponded in like manner? One need only read the comments written on the letter — and judge for himself.

Candidates Meet in Last Conferences Speeches Over Radio Made On Emerald of Air by Ticket Leaders Acceptance of Constitution Hinges on Ballots By DAVE WILSON "The proof of the pudding is in I the eating.” 1 Today the Oregon student body goes to the polls to select its of ficers for the coming year. The time for campaigning and argu ment is past. The choice of the majority is to determine the issue. Both political parties wound up their campaign last night with mass meetings. The Laird party met at the Sigma Chi house and the Cherry supporters convened at Friendly hall at the same hour, 9 o’clock. Candidates Broadcast Previous to these meetings, Laird and Cherry, together with the two candidates for the vice presidency, Ted Park and Bill Whitely, had made radio talks over KOBE by remote control from the Campa Shoppe, in which they outlined their platforms and asked for support. Each party claims approximate ly 1,000 votes, and to all appear ances, both claims are justifiable. At last year's election 80.9 per cent of the 3702 students then in school, or 2186, cast votes in the presidential race. If this same ra tio should develop today, 2223 stu dents of the 2,748 now in school will vote. Close Vote Predicted The writer believes that the per centage of voting students will be a little lower this year; perhaps around 75 per cent. But even at that there are about 200 votes ' over and above those claimed by the rival parties, which will large ly decide the issue of the election. The margin which will decide the victory one way or the other will i not be large. In the elections held I at the University of Washington ' a fortnight ago, the presidential I contest was decided by a margin of 19 votes, the winner polling 1,217 to his opponent’s 1,198. The choice of officers is not the only important concern of today’s election. Included on the ballot | will be a place to mark “Yes” or j “No” on the acceptance of the new student body constitution. Its ac i ceptance will require a two-thirds I majority of the votes cast, provid ed there are more than 500 votes. Elective Offices Hinge Upon the acceptance of this con I stitution depends the existence of the office of senior man, for which | George Christensen and Tony Pe (Continued on Pag« Two) -1 1 Here Are the Candidates-Make Your em i For President George Cherry Charles* LairU For Vice-President Ted Park Bill Whitely For Secretary r.- ••••<• ■•’■TT-yy-aK=rz-r:y Harriett Kibbee r.
