The

Oregon
As the deadline for class nom
inations drew nigh to a close yes
terday there occurred much trad
ing of horseflesh among class poli
ticians of both factions.
Karly in the day three partie*.
appeared in the freshman horizon
Sigma Nu John Olson .and Chi V <
Keith Osborne had made k'.ovvr
their intentions to rnr for soph
prexy an/t t reasurer rcspt ctively
Delt Harry Clifford and Fiji
Jack pochridge accompanied by
Gamma Phi Betty Funkhauser and
D. g LaRae Windsor made up an
oth'r party. Following up the
fr<e lunch came ATO Harry Wes
t>n with an indefinite ticket line
up.
Chief among underclass horse
traders was Denton Burdick, Wes
ton manager, who stood in front
of the old like yesterday with a
handful of promises in each fist.
There were hut few takers up un
til late last night.
Clifford and Lochridge kept
their intentions in the dark, riding
the fence from right to left in
hopes that they could snatch some
of the backing from behind either
Weston or Olson. Lochridge was
offered a proposition by Burdick in
which he had the opportunity to
run for treasurer on the Weston
ticket. Lochridge replied with a
definite “Yes and No’’ answer.
What kind of gravy would there
be for his pal Clifford if they
switched? Well, came the answer,
what does he want?
Backing started to roll out from
behind Clifford late last night,
thus Clifford and Lochridge
stepped up to take one of Wes
ton's earlier propositions.
Clifford steped out of the pres
idential picture for a consideration
which might take the shape of a
co-chairmanship of Soph Whisker
ino if Weston wins, maybe. Loch
ridge became candidate for soph
treasurer, and Betty Funkhauser,
former Clifford candidate, was
taken care of by getting vice-pres
ident on Weston’s ticket. Alpha
Chi Margaret Goldsmith will run
for secretary replacing LaRae
Windsor.
In other woras it s me tuuuiu
ticket with Clifford taken care of
liut with a new man for class pres
ident.
The combination of the Weston
Clifford parties brought out John
Olson as definite opposition. An
effort was made to swing Olson
over but after the first attempt
was made no further action was
taken.
* * *
Practical jokers are Ken BeLieu
and Don Thomas. In an effort to
mislead Emerald reporters Tues
day night, Joker BeLieu and Old
Card Thomas slipped in petitions
naming Ken BeLieu for student
body president candidate, Del
Bjork for vice-president, and Bet
ty Coon for secretary.
The joke kicked back at Thomas
and BeLieu when Betty Coon and
her sister Alpha Phis bleated in
Thomas’ ear that Miss Coon had
not signed her name on the peti
tion which they representeed as
their ticket.
Much griping there was back
and forth and in a white heat
Betty Coon and Mary McCracken
breezed into the Emerald office
protesting the action.
Although Betty Coon’s approval
to run for secretary had not been
solicited Thomas alleged that the
petition was a joke on the press.
Some fun. Ed kids?
Kappa Sig’s again aroused the
ire of sororities when Bill Dalton
submitted the name of Betty Bean
as a possible candidate on their
junior class ticket. According to
Betty Bean she had not been con
sulted or had she agreed to run for
anything on anybody’s ticket.
What kind of a deal is this, the
gals asked.
* * *
Political philandering was ab
sent from a meeting of Finley
backers held last night. But as the
warm south wind drifted over the
Phi Delt house it carried with it
the fact the boys had settled down
to organizing their big nominating
assembly wind-splurge.
It was known that George
Birnie, silver tongued orator of
the law school, would make the
speech nominating Finley for pres
ident of the student body. Bill
Marsh wil nominate Charles
(Beardwinner) Erwin, Ben Chand

In Gerlinger At 11
New Constitution
To Be Proposed:
LaBarre Heads.
Leaders OK It
By LEROY MATTINGLY
Cosgrove LaBarre will take thf
floor at the ASUO assembly ir
Gerlinger hall at 11 o’clock todaj
to present a new constitution t'
the associated students.
The constitution will be read at
today’s meeting and will be placet
on the ballot at the April 23 elec
tion.
Brief and concise, the proposer
constitution has been designed tc
do away with the superfluous de
tail incorporated into the one now
in use.
By-laws, easily amended to meel
likely ASUO reorganization chang
es, would carry the weight of de
tail under simplified setup, La
Barre said in explaining th£ docu
ment last night.
More Flexible
"The new constitution wouiu De
very general,” LaBarre stated
“For this reason, less change ir
the constitution itself would be
necessary. It would be more flex
ible and therefore more lasting."
Coincident to the simplification
of the constitution comes the sim
plification of the system of office
now prevailing.
Officers elected on April 2c
would be given important student
body positions during the year
1936-37 but only four officers
would be chosen for the years fol
lowing.
Positions Eliminated
The positions of executive man,
executive woman, and junior and
senior finance officers, now elec
tive, would be eliminated under the
revised constitution and their du
ties handled by appointed officers.
Placing of office holders select
ed at the coming elections would
be provided for in a resolution, ef
fective for one year, which would
be passed immediately after the
new laws were put in action.
The president elected at the
polls on April 23 would go in as
president if the new setup was
voted on and accepted at the same
time.
Places Named
The vice-president-elect would
go in as first vice-president. The
person elected to the position of
executive man would hold office
as second vice-president, 'while the
secretary would take office as sec
retary-treasurer.
The junior and senior finance of
ficers and the senior woman would
be ex-officio members of the new
executive committee for the year

ASIIO and Class
Officers Will Be
Introduced for
Ballot Places
By LLOYD TUPLTNG
Climaxing two weeks of politi
cal scrambling, candidates for
ASUO and class offices became
known last night as the last
notices of intentions to run drib
bled into the hands of class presi
dents.
Candidates tor asuu oinces
will be named at 11 o'clock today
in Gerlinger hall when the annual
student body nominating assembly
is called to order by President
James Blais. A nominating assem
bly for senior class offices will be
held in Johnson hall today. Other
classes will meet in Villard to-*
morrow.
Independent Candidates
Unprecedented in past elections
came the announcement of inde
pendent candidates for junior class
offices. In an efofrt to clean up
class politics, a majority of sopho
more leaders banded together “to
put the best men into office.” As
a result of the drive, seven per
sons filed their names as being
unaffiliated with any party.
Intentions of running for senior
class offices were filed Tuesday
night with Jack McGirr, junior
class president, by Dave Lowry
for president, Margilee Morse, vice
president, Jay Bailey, treasurer,
and LaNelle Mathews, secretary.
Morris Seeks Signers
Opposition will undoubtedly
come from Dave Morris, who yes
terday scrambled for signatures of
the required 50 student body and
class card holders. To have his
name, appear on the April 23 ballot
it will he necessary for Morris to
ohtnin the 50 signatures on his
petition before midnight Saturday.
Meetings of freshmen and soph
omores will be held Friday. Ac
cording to the ASUO constitution
all meetings must be announced
24 hours before they are held and
elections are ordinarily held seven
days after nominations. A prece
dent established last year in soph
omore class nominations makes it
possible for ASUO heads to lay
aside the ironclad rule concerning
elections, and thus all balloting
will be oil April 23.

Brown, freshman class president,
