Double Header With Willamette Today Closes Duck Pre-Season Games
Sharp indeed was tne repui t ui
the bombshell tossed into the Fin
ley ticket yesterday when one of
Oregon's famed swimmers, and |
Finley candidate for vice-president.
Jim Hurd, was alleged as being
ineligible for that office, by a pro
test handed to President Blais.
Qualifications for that office in
clude seven terms of registered
schooling prior to the election.
Hurd’s petition stated that he had I
been in school for 11 terms, by an
oversight, and the petition was
passed by the dean of men's of
fice. When Hurd’s eligibility was
contested it was found that al
though he had been in school, only
five of them were spent at the
University of Oregon.
A! Davis, campaign manager for
Finley, announced last night that
the question of Hurd’s eligibility
would be submitted to the judiciary
committee today for final judg
ment.
If Hurd is declared ineligible
there is a possibility that he might
be replaced by Cecil Barker for
the position. Hurd would be eli
gible for senior man and would
take over Barker’s place.
According to Don Thomas, cam
paign manager for the Hammond
ticket, that party had nothing to
do with the preparation nor sub- i
mission of petitions for student i
body offices carrying names of |
Betty Coon, Ken BeLieu, and Del
Bjork. An investigation yesterday
proved the contentions of Thomas,
and the Emerald wishes to vindi- ,
cate this party for any activity in
the affair.
It was found that the petitions .
in question, which were not legal,
were formed purely as a “little .
joke” on Emerald reporters who
were seeking justification of a
third party scare.
Second rebuke to Bill Dalton for
his last minute efforts to load the
sophomore class with possible
candidates came Genevieve Mc
Nieee yesterday. She made known
her intentions to run for vice
president of the junior class after
she discovered that her name had
been submitted for eligibility with
out her knowledge. Phyllis Gard
ner, named on John Olson's ticket,
also said she was running for noth
ing on no one’s ticket.
Round one of the coming politi
cal ballyhoo was struck yesterday
when a decrepit Model T Ford of
unknown vintage plied its way
around the campus hailing “Ham
mond for president.” Although it ,
lacked the gilt of the usual band
Wagon, rattles accompanying the j
lusty lunged politicians in the back
seat made up for the loss in color.
Opposition which arose early in :
the week against Noel Benson and
other unaffiliated, non - political
candidates for junior class offices
was dropped yesterday by its in
stigator, Bill Dalton. Benson will
probably go to the polls unopposed.
Other class offices will be filled
not by a ticket organization but by
independent candidates.
Possibility was seen that Bill
Jones, A1 Carter, Charles Barclay,
Paul Plank, Larry Crane, Don
Johnson, who were to oppose inde
pendent candidates earlier, might
throw their irons into the fire as
independent candidates. It is be
lieved that they will not oppose!
Benson for the office of president.
When it became definitely
known that Benson and other in
dependent candidates were trying
to keep politics out of elections,
the opposition folded up. Far be
it from any smart candidate to
raise his hand against a person
who is obviously not pulling a po
litical deal.

With tonight's closing perform
ance, “Outward Bound,” Sutton

pleasant art of dying, will be truly
outward bound as far as its Uni
versity Theatre production is con
cerned.
The play enjoyed a good run
over Easter weekend (in spite of
the untheajrical weather) and stu
dents, faculty, and townspeople
have been high in their praise of
the play’s excellent direction by
Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, and the
f i n e 1 y-shaded characterizations
given by the entire cast, particu
larly those by Horace W. Robin
son (who also designed the un
usual setting) and Mary Bennet,
popular Eugene actress.
Convention to Attend

ward Bound” will be one of the
highlights of the Oregon Speech

Name Candidates at
Meetings Tonight
A second milestone along- the
campus political battlefield was
reached last night when members
of the class of 1937 made nomina
tions and announced senior class
candidates for the coming ballot
box battle.
Because he had not filed his in
tentions to run before the Tuesday
night deadline, John Thomas was
unable to nominate Dave Morris
as a candidate for senior class
president. Morris’ name will ap
pear on the ballot if he can secure
50 signatures of 50 student bodv
and class card holders by midnight
Saturday.
Has 35 Names
Morris had obtained nearly 35
names by last night, Thomas said.
Following Thomas' announce
ment, Karry Campbell rose to tell
the qualifications and abilities of
Dave Lowry and nominate him for

Seekers Are
Nominated
i
Boyer Indicates Faculty
Is Working Toward
Reorganization
True representation of the Uni
versity of Oregon and approval of
| a new constitution proposed by
Cosgrove LaBarre were stressed
heavily by Craig Finley and Fred
Hammond in brief speeches ac
cepting nominations for president
of the ASUO made in Gerlinger
hall yesterday.
Finley told 800 student listeners
that he favored the diffusion of
information on and interest in the
University through the inaugura
tion of an "open house" policy. He
cited the good-will built up by
Oregon State college through ex
tensive hospitality as an example
of the results to be obtained from
such a policy.
Both Back Constitution
Agreeing with a statement hy
Finley that the new constitution
should be approved, Hammond de
clared that true representation of
conditions on the Oregon campus
could be gained only through the
union of independent and affiliated
stucTents for that purpose.
The elimination of petty campus
politics would be an important
step in gaining a united student
body, Hammond declared. Unify
ing the student body as a com
pact group would make it possible
to present a true picture of Oregon
to the people of the state, he
explained.
Boyer Speaks
The faculty is working actively
on the reorganization of the asso
ciated students corporation, Presi
dent C. V. Boyer told the assembly.
Hugh Rosson, graduate mana
ger, and N. Thomas Stoddard,
assistant graduate manager and
athletic manager, resigned in or
der to expedite the reorganization j
work made necessary by the op
tional fee. The statement was the
first official word in regard to the
resignations issued to the student
body by the president.
Faculty Responsible
The faculty has always been
legally responsible for extra-cur
ricular activities which were os
tensibly removed from its hands
when the student corporation was
formed, Dr. Boyer said. He indi
cated that the faculty may once
more take control of "educational
extra-curricular activities” such as
publications and debate.
At present, the faculty exercises
only a veto power. Athletics might
also be turned over to the faculty

Rushing Rules
Revision Nearer
Interfraternity Group Gets
Committee Report ami
Passes Motion
Revision of rushing rules was a
step nearer yesterday afternoon
when the interfraternity council
heard and considered the report of
its rushing committee which has
been considering change in the
setup.
A motion to refuse to consider
any plan incorporating summer
rushing, a much discussed pro
posed change, was passed by the
council.
Adamant In its stand that the
use of a tribunal to impose rushing
fines is unfair and prejudiced,
Sigma Nu told the fraternity lead
ers that it would refuse to abide by
or recognize any decision favoring
retention of the tribunal as a
rushing rules enforcement body in
the revised plan.
Rest of Plan Favored '
Concensus among the council
favored the remainder of the plan
as presented by Stan King, chair
man of the special committee.

Generator Work
Begun in Deatly
Work upon the foundations for
the five-ton generator to be in
stalled in Deady hall was begun
yesterday, and, according to Dr.
W. V. Norris, professor of physics,
who is in charge of the construc
tion, the preliminary work prior
to installation will be completed in
the near future.
The generator, which will devel
op a current of 800 amperes, was
given to the school of science by
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company and will be used
principally for research that will
require a large magnetic field.
Although it was thought for a
time that part of the foundation of
the building might have to be re
moved in order to install the ma
chine, it has been determined that
it will go into the building without
any serious damage.
