Nominating Body Picks Candidates For Law Officers Bill Dushney, Karl Huston Selected As Aspirants for President Of Law Students Members of the law school stu dent nominating committee, ap pointed by Preston Gunther, presi dent, named eligible candidates who will be voted on ac a regular law school student body election to be held tomorrow at 11 a. m. The committee, consisting of George Layman, chairman, Otto Bowman, Bill Goodwin, and How ard Bobbitt, has submitted the fol lowing names to the students: for president, Bill Dashney and Karl Huston; for secretary, Corwin Cal avan and Gus Elbow; for treasur er, Bill Kinley and Bill Palmer; for sergeant.-at-arms, John Casey and Jack Vaughn; and for barber, Frank Swayze and Hobart Wilson. While these are the official nom inations, rumors circulate freely concerning opposing parties which are springing up to put more names on the ticket. Yesterday at a late hour three parties had no tices on the law school bulletin board concerning party caucuses to be held last night. So far the factions in the field besides the regularly nominated group includes the Independent Voter’s League of America, the Marion County Tax Payers’ league, and the Indepen dent Democrats’ league. Whether serious action would be taken by these groups was a matter of much conjecture. Zoology Class To Pay Visit to Bay Region Members of Dr. H. B. Yocom’s class in invertebrate zoology are planning a trip to Coos Bay this week-end, in order to study marine animals. Students will leave Friday, and may return either Saturday or Sunday. Dr. and Mrs. Yocom and Miss Marian Pettibone, assistant in the course, will accompany the party. According to Dr. Yocom, this is a most favorable time for the trip, | since a very low tide will make it easier to study the sea life. Lofty Lingo Hurled as Law Aces Challenge BA Valiants While the law student is divid ing into numerous and sundry op posing factions in preparation for the coming election of officers, it has taken time off to unite itself into one strong group on another question, and has, under the leader ship of Bill Dashney, chairman of the athletic committee, issued the following challenge to the students of the business administration: TO THE LAV/ STUDENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AD MINISTRATION : “Now come the members of the Law School Student body for the purpose of maintaining their para mount position on the University of Oregon campus. In order to demonstrate this superior position, we. the members of the said Law School Student body do hereby de clare and resolve as follows, to wit: WHEREAS, it has been called to our attention that the members of your particular student body, corncerning an unjustified victory won by your school in the year 1932, have constantly, continuous ly, and confoundly bragged, blown and blabbered as regards the ath letic prowess of your notorious members; and, WHEREAS, at first the said law school was of the opinion that such ignominious mouthings were not worthy of our notice or contem plation, yet we, the said law school, realizing our lofty position and fur ther feeling that such blasphemous slander and libelous statements were unbecoming and detrimental to the prestige and prominence of the noble and lofty legal profes sion: NOW THEREFORE BE IT RE SOLVED that we, the said law school, do hereby challenge and (Continued on Pay? Two) No, Lads! Sigma Chi Hasn’t Hung A Pin on R.L.N.! It's happened, folks, the year's gigantic! Who should be seen ambling down 13th street yesterday with a Sigma Chi pledge pin on? You’d never guess. No, not Santa Claus. Guess again. It was Mr. Dick Neuberger, the editor himself. For a while the local boys thought the recent honors won by Mr. Neuberger's paper had effected hi3 head. Great consternation reigned. Then someone remembered that Mr. Neuberger lives with Mr. Rosie Gagnon, a Sigma Chi pledge. So they rightfully concluded Mr. Neuberger was wearing Mr. Gag non’s leather jacket. A delega tion crossed the street to see Mr. N e u b e rger. "Congratulations,” they said. Neuberger looked puzzled. Then he looked down at the pledge em blem and blushed. Silence was in force for a minute. Then the mili tant editor drawled, "By gosh, I thought it was a Red-Cross but ton.” He hastily removed the pin and handed it to Red Wilson, who was passing by. Both Sigma Chi and the lan (Continucd on Page Two) Law School Body Spikes Uprising Spiking all chances of an upris ing before they had scarcely start ed, officers of the law school stu dent body called a meeting early Tuesday morning to transact necessary business which has been pressing and over which opposing factions threatened to rise in re volt. Business considered included the election of officers, the annual spring term dance, and the soft ball game with the business ad ministration school. It was de cided that the dance would be held on the evening of Wednesday, May 17, and that the election of officers would be held next Mon day, May 15. Preston Gunther, law school student body president, appointed the following committees: Nomi nating committee, George Lay man, chairman, Otto Bowman, Bill Goodwin, and Howard Bobbitt; dance committee, Gus Elbow, chairman, P.

Her topic was “If I Should Die To night.” Cynthia Liljeqvist, sopho more in English, took second prize of $10 with a speegh on “Frailty, Is Thy Name Woman?” The $5 award went to Helen Harriman, sophomore in biological science, for her description of the Ameri can habit of “Living By Radio.” By humorously showing how the most remote human tendencies and desires would become para mount if death were approaching, Miss George revealed everyone’s hidden fancies and stated among them her own desire to push a large pie into the face of certain professors. “It would be far more effective than words,” she stated. Twisting the facts so that wo man seemed the driving force in the universe, Cynthia Liljeqvist proved her point by saying, “In desperation, the United States leg islators declared a beer holiday and then inflated the currency in an attempt to counteract the de pression Garbo made when she lert tor Kweuen. Helen Harriman revealed how the American public depends upon the radio for its daily schedules and how upset they'd be if the morning exercise and recipe pro grams were discontinued. Wally Campbell exploited the honors of toastmaster (toasted master, as he expressed it > in place of Mrs. Sally Allen, who was ill. The judges were Prof. John H. Mueller, Prof. P. V.

She will suc ceed Virginia Wentz as editor of the yearbook. Miss Gilbert has held positions on the staff of the yearbook for two years and has been a member of the Emerald staff. Besides be ing an honor student she has been elected to several honorary so cieties. Appointment Delayed Appointment of the Oregana editor was delayed several weeks when the council refused to name either of the two candidates who filed at the first call for applica tions. Bob Zurcher and Parks Hitchcock had put in petitions. Zurcher was recommended by the publications committee but later was found ineligible because of grades. The council later declined to appoint Hitchcock on the grounds that it did not feel the best possible candidates had been heard. A second call was put for petitions and about eight students filed. The council yesterauy ais 3 passed a motion instructing the secretary to forward to the disci pline committee the resolution of the publications committee con cerning the placing of mimeo graphed slip sheets by Dave Wil son and “unknown persons" in the Emerald on election day.

One-Time Oregana Editors Express Approval of Choice Four former editors of the Ore gana, still on the campus, last night expressed their pleasure at the selection of Madeleine Gilbert as editor of the Oregana, an nounced yesterday afternoon by the executive council. Henrietta Steinke, editor of the 1930- 31 yearbook, said, “Made leine Gilbert has always shown great interest in this type of work and should make a good editor. I remember her as an assistant ed itor for the 1930-31 Oregana, when she was a freshman. Such interest so early in college would indicate that she is well qualified for the position. Lester McDonald, editor in 1929 30, commented briefly: "I feel that the publications committee has made an excellent choice." Thornton Gale, editor of the 1931- 32 annual, was equally em phatic: “I have every confidence in Madeleine Gilbert's ability to edit an outstanding Oregana. She has a great deal of originality and initiative. Her personal qualifica tions and experience give her every claim to the position.” Virginia Wentz, editor of this year’s edition, which will be dis tributed Friday, had opportunity to judge Miss Gilbert’s qualifications from personal experience. Her comment was: "Madeleine has worked for three years on the Ore gana and has done very good work. As secretary and assistant to the editor in previous years she proved herself very competent. The ability shown in previous years in other positions should be carried over into the editorship. I think the choice of the publications commit tee and the executive council was very wise.”
