‘Slugsy’ Favored in Queen Vole Today OREGON DAILY EMERAL OREGON’S INDEPENDENT COLLEGE DAILY T ^ Ls x Sophs Say Yearlings Fear <Villn,cin? VOLUME XXXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1936 NUMBER 117 Southpaws Millard, Oregon, and Marlowe, WSC, Hurl Shutout Victories in Split Double-Header Final Voting Today On Junior Weekend Queen Candidates Twelve Now on List as Primaries Declared Null and Void; Cards Are Necessary Fred Hammond, g e n o r a 1 chairman of Junior Weekend and ASI'O president-elect, last night announced the primaries held Wednesday for Junior Weekend queen are to be re garded as null and void, and that final selection of the queen will be made today by student body members when they mark their five choices from a ballot of twelve names. This action was found necessary when the University administra tion declared three of the ten nom inated ineligible because of failure to hold a junior certificate. One Withdraws Another candidate, Jean Steven son, also withdrew and this re duced the field to six girls from which five were to be chosen. These six paaraded yesterday noon. Also considerable condemnation had been received because of al leged stuffing of ballot boxes by ballots clipped from Emeralds not belonging to the vote casters. Twelve Now on List In commenting on this action Hammond explained, “It seemed to the committee that it wasn’t quite fair to expect the queen to be chosen with only six girls running for five positions. So we contacted each sorority and living organiza tion and requested them to enter a candidate if they wished. Twelve groups have given us their choices and the twelve names will be on the official ballot tomorrow. ‘“Student body ticket holders will be the only ones entitled to vote. Voting will be done at the College Side from 9 until 3. This will be the last vote and will be the official one. Action Now Final “We are not running another primary because of the time ele ment involved—it is imperative that the queen be chosen immedi ately,” Hammond said. It was also mentioned that the administration polcy of ineligibil ity was a reversal of last year's voting when Mary Morse was al lowed to be elected, although not holding a JC. This was the reason the Junior Weekend committee al lowed the candidates first chosen to be considered, Hammond said, in explaining the sudden announce ment of the illegal primaries.

"Un derstand,” he protested, “I’m agin this trip. You shoulda showed yourself this noon.” “Nonsense,” scoffed Slugsy, playfully poking the reporter in the eye with her finger. “I want to ride a bicycle, and making the rounds at night we don’t have so much competition.” “What about light?” But Slugsy had a flair for show manship, and the reporter was a match for anything. “I’m a siren,” boasted Slugsy, "The papers all say so. Woooooo!” The reporter boxed her ears, three rounds, no-decision, and re tired to his corner with short pants and a lollipop. “Bootiful m o o n u m s makes meum3 womantical,” crooned Slugsy, propping her feet up on the handle-bars complacently. “That am no moon,” corrected the reporter. “That’s A1 coming home.” “Willums wecite ittybitty pome to ittle wittle Slugsy?” she mur mured, scratching her ears happily. “Sam saw Slugsy, Called Slugsy Mugsy, Slugsy slapped Sam, Wham! wham! wham!

He pointed out that just as a sci entist was not too engrossed in theories and problems to enjoy be ing humorous at times, so a mu sician enjoyed jazz along with other music. Many beautiful melo dies have been written by modern composers, he said. The difference between them and the more lasting music is that a modern piece has only the one melody as its theme, whereas the composers of lasting music have elaborated on their melodies to such an extent that many themes are incorporated in one composition.

Requiem signifies a prayer that the dead may be de livered from purgatory. Soloists Listed The solo parts of the “Requiem” will be sung by Mrs. L. J. Mur dock, soprano; Mrs. Bruce Spald ing, mezzo-soprano; Charles J. Fahey, tenor; and Robert Me Knight, bass.

Noble, associate pro fessor of history, implied that the “expanding empire” has a con tracting effect on the pocketbook of the average Japanese farmer and business fan in his talk on “The Expanding Japanese Empire” at Gerlinger hall last night. "By and large,” asserted Profes sor Noble, “the Manchurian ex pansion project has brought dis illusionment and disappointment to Japan. It has not paid very well.” Commerce Activity Outgo The history professor maintained the marked increase in commer cial activity brought about by ex pansion consists principally of out going traffic. This outgo, he be lieves, is being paid for out of the pocket of the Japanese taxpayer, and it is Mr. Noble’s contention that thus far the taxpayer has received no return on his invest ment. North China and outer Mongolia, according to Dr. Noble, is econom ically more to Japan’s liking, than is Manchuria and is proving to be a trouble spot between Japan and Russia.

They haven’t been used to being away from their mothers for such a long time. Why just yesterday I called some of the kids and they surprised me with their lack of spine and spunk!” she sighed. Already the sophomores are making bold preparations.
