S., Louise Webber, president-elect, said that her organization com bined the interests of all women on the campus. A different attitude from that expressed in individual living groups would be expressed by the women’s assembly, she be lieved. It was Miss Webber’s belief that it would be a broader, less provincial attitude. This opinion, she,felt should be represented by upper and lower class delegates to the Forum. Rolla Reedy, president of the Y. M., expressed the desire that his organization be represented by upper and lower class dele gates.

Reach the Heart Thru the Stomach, Advises Charley Black Sunday Adolf Hitler’s fascists are now the strongest bunch in the German Reich. Old war horse Hindenburg took a sock on the solar plexus Sunday when the black shirts came through with flying col ors. Hitler feeds nearly half a million of his followers, which may account for his popularity. For a campaign slogan I sug gest "Hitlerism or Hunger,” or perhaps, "Fasting or Fascism?” Poor, deluded German youth. France took away military drill, pride of Prussian hearts. So Hitler gives ’em bright uniforms and they go gaily on their way. Solemn rites, secret passwords, mysterious meetings — all the devices that children delight in. German youth is still “playing soldier.” Now the Communists and So cialists in Germany will have to get together and quit fight ing each other. Harmoniously, WEBFOOT CHARLEY. "Congratulations !” As one editor to another, Bill Duiiiuuy greets Dick Neuberger. Duniway is retiring editor of the Emerald,'while Neuberger was re centiy chosen as next year’s chief of the student publieation. Duni way is at the left. Neuberger sports the frosh lid.

IN DARKEST AFRICA, April 25.—(By greased wire, the slickest in the world.)—Well, folks, I was eaten by cannibals today. So were Red Wilson and Johnny Londahl, who gallantly came down here to rescue me. We all passed into the soup with the words on our lips, “Long Live the Roustabouts.” In cidentally, we never did find Pot ter out there in the ocean. He probably drowned. I ur No fooling, folks, we made a lovely dish. We were captured just as we were about to get the long sought ovis poli. Our captor was Chief Little Bear coming down the street. He caused Londahl to be boiled, Wilson was roasted and I was served a la carte with creamed new potatoes. As Londahl was being served at (Continued on T'age Four) Students To Meet For Nomination Of ASUO Officers Notice of Candidacy Must Be Filed by Tuesday Before 12 P. M.

While Dave Wilson, junior in journalism, pulled the major sur prise of the unsettled evening by announcing his candidacy for president of the associated stu dents, relations were strained in the Bob Hall camp and the Roustabouts were booming a new man for the highest job in the A. S. U. O. Kinney On Spot Ned Kinney, announced as the vice - presidential candidate on Hall’s ticket, was the center of a. storm of protest last night. That Red Bailey, senior man candidate on the Hall line-up, would step up to the vice - presidency and that Kinney would go down in the ranks to senior man, loomed as a possible move. An alternative was that Bailey would desert the Hall ticket and announce himself as a candidate for president. At the same time, Otto Vonder heit, sophomore in business admin istration, was announced as the candidate for junior finance officer on the Hall ticket. Secret Meetings Held The political pots, which up to last night had been simmering quietly, boiled over furiously by midnight as party leaders held hurried secret sessions in many corners of the campus. The Roustabouts, so far taken only as a joke in the campaign, became a serious threat last night. Last minute reports said that Roy Shaneman, junior in business ad ministration, would be their can didate for president. Thrse men — Hall, Shaneman, and Wilson—are thus in the run ning for president. Other places on the tickets are being revamped hurriedly. With declarations of candidacy due by midnight to night, it is certain that today will bring clearing skies to the campus political race. Kwama Pledges Nineteen Women Nineteen women were honored Saturday evening at Mortar Board ball by pledging to Kwama, sopho more service honorary.

The two honorary members of Kwama. Mrs. Hazel Schwering, dean of women and assistant dean, Mrs. Nelson Macduff, participated in the pledging ceremony. Mem bers of Skull and Daggers, men’s service honorary, formed an arch with sabres through which the new pledges and old members of Kwama walked to the platform. Mental Aspect of Marriage Discussed By Dr. Bowman The more important phase of marriage relationship is mental, in the belief of Dr. Harold L. Bow man, pastor of the First Presby terian church of Portland, who spoke to a gathering of students and townspeople at the men’s gym last night. This was the second of a series of lectures of “Love and Marriage" to be given on the cam pus. Human beings are ready for marriage soon after the beginning of the period of adolescence as far as the physiological aspect of it is concerned, Bowman said. But they lack two important develop ments which must appear before married life can reach its mo3t beautiful aspects. In addition to physiological development there must be a psychological develop ment, and also an economic devel opment. Bowman declared it foolish to denounce petting. Rather, he said, there is a happy medium between sowing “wild oats” and harmful repression. Here again the mental attitude is very important. If pet ting is done in a spirit of friend ship and done with restraint, it may be absolutely harmless. The meaning behind the petting is the big thing. Interet.* of one sex in the other is normal as it helps the psycho (Continued on Page Four)
