OCTOBER 18, 1935 -7 NUMBER 13 Arnie McAvoy Overwhelms Bud Burnett Entire Ticket Swept Into Office by Decisive Margins At Frosh Election Ey WAYNE HARBERT After the clouds of smoke had cleared yesterday afternoon from the freshman political battlefield, Arnie McAvoy and his entire ticket has been swept into office by over whelming majorities by one of the biggest first year classes in recent years. The standings of the candidates were announced by Roland Rourke as follows: President: Arnie McAvoy, 193. Bud Burnett, 152. Vice-President: June Brown, 208. Helen Rabbe, 135. Secretary: Faye Buchanan, 20G. Phyllis Gardner, 138. Treasurer: Boh Bailey, 21G. Dielc Sleight, 129. The frosh carried their first col lege political campaign at such a fast pace election eve and all day yesterday that the whole campus eagerly awaited the result after the polls had closed at 3 o’clock. Yesterday morning’s dawn re vealed that considerable election eering went on during the night as students were greeted by huge yellow letters painted on the streets and numerous signs placed at advantageous points on the campus. Enthusiasm Rampant Between every class, cars carry ing swarms of freshmen careened down the streets, attempting to impress the class-bound students of their political superiority by displaying banners and lots of temporary lettering. Even a sound car was employed by one of the groups. Indeed, the freshman class of 1939 have sta.rted off with fly ing colors, interested individuals exclaimed. Ye Tabard Inn Holds Initiation Rupert Pray and Willard Marsh were regularly initiated into Ye Tabard Inn, honorary writer’s fra ternity; and Winston Allard was elected president of the group, at a meeting of the organization held at the home of Prof. W. F. G. Thacher, faculty adviser. The program for the evening consisted of the reading of several original stories written by the members, and discussion of plans for the coming year.

Connelly Takes Fi»ht Before Anti-War Group Petition Submitted Faculty by Council Gordon Connelly, sophomore in journalism, continued his fight for exemption from military when he appeared Tuesday night before the ■Eugene chapter of the American League against War and Fascism. The chapter was unable to con sider Connelly’s case at that time, but S. Stephenson Smith, associate professor of English at the Uni versity, .was appointed to preside at the investigation of Connelly’s plea. A further step was taken Thurs day when Art Stanley, president of the Student Christian council, handed the following petition to Carlton Spencer, head of the ex emptions committee.

The situation is thus: as long as the telephone is used for business only everything is running smooth ly. But when a telephone reaches the stage where Johnny calls up Martha for a date the next week end and when little Billy has to phone home to find out what he has forgotten one must install a telephone with a sign reading: Drop Nickel Please. Marian McClain, manager of the Co-op, however, is not install ing a pay telephone but wants the college students to realize the sit uation as it stands. A number of the business stores in the vicinity of the Co-op have replaced free telephones with those that require a nickel. McAvoy Snatched? Left At Lonely Sawmill In Wilds Editor’s note: Arnie McAvoy, newly elected frosh prexy, was unable to be contacted anywhere last night. Following is an eye witness’s factually correct story of why and what happened. By BILL PEASE Gather, my innocent freshmen, and I shall tell you a tale about the boggy-men that wear mole skins. Yes, the sophomores. As all good stories do, this be gins with ONCE UPON A TIME there came to this campus a freshman. But this freshman had heard that to be elected to a position of honor one must go politician in a big way—even as far as to hand out cigars. So, with a pocketful of cigars, Arnie McAvoy set out to become president of the class of 1939. In the same class there was also a freshman that wanted to be presi dent, and he, too, had cigars. Each of the twro candidates lined up a ticket and the battle was on. While each of the two was working his hardest to “give his class an honest deal and wished nothing for himself—nothing but the opportunity to serve his class,” five grim and sneering sophomores were up to their arrr.pits in conniv ery, plotting to kidnap the flower of the frosh class—he who would give — or promise to give — the most cigars. The election day arrived. Wild eyed freshmen overran the place with automobiles pleading with fair young freshmen co-eds to vote for their particular favorites. Promptly at three the polls closed and the two candidates and their constituents moved en masse to the Igloo, where in secret meet ing the executive council started to count votes. Fingernails were chewed, pledge buttons were twisted in nervous buttonholes, and the two parties sat hating each other. But here is where the freshmen proved they were freshmen, they waited OUT SIDE of the Igloo to hear the re sults. Three crafty sophomores crept to the door of Jim Blais’ office and waited for the verdict. Mc AVOY WINS! The three lept down the stairs and out to the waiting frosh. '‘McAvoy, you win. Quick, get into this car.” Before the aston ished McAvoy had awakened to his peril, the car was speeding miles per hour down the street leaving behind it a group of numb and bewildered frosh. Two more sophomores were picked up and the party sped out into the hills. After much twisting (Please turn to page three) Alpha Kappa Psi Initiates 17 With Formal Rites Ceremony Followed By Banquet at Palms Seventeen men were initiated yesterday evening- into Alpha Kap pa Psi. national professional busi ness fraternity, at their formal initiation held in Gerlinger hall.

Group Also Questions Right of Council to Make Eligibility Ruling On Scholastic Rating Editorial Comment Page 2 Taking exception to two recent actions of the Interfraternity coun cil, namely: the legality of the mo tion passed just prior to rush week by the council with reference to those freshmen automatically ineli gible because of low high school scholastic ratings, and the action of the council in the levying of the fine of $45 against them, the Sng ma Nu fraternity issued a formal protest last night. In a statement printed else where in the Emerald, Sigma Nu indicated that they “disregarded the list of those ineligible on ac count of a low prep school rating because it was passed in an un constitutional manner." Plan Adopted 1933 On April 22, 1933, the interfra ternity council adopted the "Ore gon plan of deferred pledging” which stipulated that those fresh men having a "1” psychology rat ing were ineligible as pledging ma terial for the fraternities of the campus. The same plan delegated power to the tribunal of the coun (Plca.tr turn la page tipo) Lost and Found Business Hits Slump This Full With business everywhere show ing a definite upturn, with bank ers and business men discarding their crying towels and leaping upon the bandwagon of renewed prosperity, there is a local indus try which has slumped desperate ly. This industry is the lost and found business. Located centrally as it is in the University depot and possessing an abundance of material—some 2500 students—to work on there ap pears to be no reason for its fall. But the sad statistics of the case remain: there are but two notebooks, two one dollar text books (formerly, nothing but $5 stuff was handled), and the re mains of a disgusted-looking foun tain pen being held for lost own ers at the present moment. Frances DeLoe Received Enthusiastically at Recital I By LAURA MARGARET SMITH Proving herself an interesting addition to local music circles, Miss Frances Margaret DeLoe, soprano, was warmly received in her recital last night at the school of music auditorium. A recent ar rival from Cincinatti, where she included among her achievements several appearances with the sym phony orchestra, Miss DeLoe was presented last night by the music school in cooperation with the Eu gene adult music study group. In the Mozart “Non Mi Dir” and Gluck’s "Divinities du Styx,” arias from “Don Giovanni” and “Al ceste” respectively, the artist gave evidence of her extensive operatic training. The impression left was that she would be quite adequate in such work. The opening Handel number was beautifully done and the Caccini “Amarilli” displayed a rich but restrained minor. It was in the Brahms group, however, that Miss DeLoe’s voice seemed to find its best medium. Her selection revealed a personal preference for the unaffected, emotional German songs, of which “Die Mainacht” was outstanding. In these her excellent range, com bining warmth in the lower reg ister with clarity and power in the high tones, found its best expres sion. The last group, all in English, comprised a tasteful selection, and by demand of her audience Miss DeLoe repeated the last, Puccini’s “Waltz Song.’’ A tendency to approach tones with a slur was aparent, as was a slight break between upper and lower registers occasionally. Miss DeLoe’s enunciation also is at times a bit too throaty to be per fectly distinct. Her preformance was, however, most satisfying and sincere. She has a voice of real beauty and a careful technique and should prove popular even with the discriminat ing audiences for which Eugene is noted. Aurora Potter Underwood at the piano complemented the artist perfectly with the fine art to which she has raised acocmpany ing. “La Papillon” and “Mando line," if more spectacular, were only typical of the exacting artis try required for such assistance. Following the concert a recep tion was held, with members of Mu Phi Epsilon, Phi Beta, and Phi Mu Alpha, music honoraries, as
