Five Educators Still in Running For Presidency ©reoon ffmeralft Suggestions Fly As Frosh Draft Suffrage Laws VOLUME XXXIX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1937 NUMBER 10 Suffrage Question to Be 'Hashed Out' by • Frosh Wednesday Committee Drafts Constitution With Two Clauses in Regard to Voting Privileges; All Freshmen May Ballot at Meeting Wrangling the extended suffrage question between them for three hours last night, the frosh constitutional committee finally drew up a documen modeled after the sophomore constitution except in regard to voting privileges. The constitution will be submitted to a general class meeting open to all iresnmen aa uesignuieu uy the University- with or without class cards to be held Wednes day at 7:30 p.m., meeting place to 'be announced tomorrow. Steiger Opposes Reform The question of whether to with draw voting privileges from the class card offerings, as proposed by Committeeman Mary Mohr and ^ two supporters, was opposed by Stan Staiger and two other com mitteemen. Split evenly, the committee pro posed to adopt two clauses into the constitution, and introduce both to the class of ’41 Wednesday for a * deciding vote. One clause will be to retain voting privileges with the class cards, the other to abolish it. Question to Be Debated The question will be presented to the assembled students by op posing members of the committee in form of a debate pro and con before the frosh, followed by a re buttal by both sides, to be topped off by the decision of the entire class. Miss Mohr was met by Staiger’s statement that class cards supplied money to make frosh activities possible, and “who would buy cards if voting privileges were not included?” Miss Mohr replied that class funds could be raised by continu ing to sell class cards, and in ad dition to hold class activities from which funds could be raised. It was then pointed out that per haps the possibility was present that the activiy to raise funds might need financing itself, and class card funds would come in handy -arid that the drawing point of class cards was voting privi leges. Question Raised However, MisS Mohr expressed the belief that class activities could be carefully planned and car ried out so that the class as a whole would become interested and buy cards to participate in them— (Please turn to page three) Coeds Strong For 3 'Flower' Dance Year Flowers for the lady only three times a year is the plan proposed by Skull and Crescent, honorary organization for organized men at Indiana university. In a survey made by the campus daily, the co eds were strong for the plan, giving as reasons: “—they don't usually match the dress anyway—“we’re lucky to get three;” “—never did like corsages anyway, they look so droopy by the end of the evening, and besides the pin always sticks you;” and another coed added, “it’s all right with me to limit the cor I sages as long as they don’t try to tell us how many dates to have.” i Dancers Get Hot Students dancing to swing music generate power and heat, an engi neer at the Unwersity of Wiscon sin has discoverd. When 1200 peo ple dance in a ballroom, enough heat is produced to warm a two story house for two days in ordin ary winter weather. Enough en ergy is released to raise a five»ton elephant 32 miles in the air. Varsity Man Edits When woman usurps man’s posi tion that is progress. But when man takes the position which is rightfully woman's — that is bad. On the University of Nebraska’s campus the position of society edi tor no longer belongs to the femi nine element for a member of the varsity football team now writes “a frank and true column of the masculine angles of university so ciety” for the Daily Nebraskan. OSC Has Girl Student from Nazi Germany ^ Oregon State also has an ex- I change student from Germany < on the campus this year, accord- 1 ing to a story in the Oregon State Barometer. Ursula Klip stein is the girl, registered in the y lower division. Miss Klipstein finds life on the American college campus quite different from that in the Ger man college she attended. She is especially impressed by the friendliness here and in the vari ety found in the average coed's wardrobe. Dancing “sloppily” to very dim lights is strange to her. University students in Munich are more serious, Miss Klipstein ( believes, perhaps because they are older. •, Miss Klipstein plans to travel about and see more of the United States as soon as school is through in June. — Opening 'Emerald' Program Tonight Initial Broadcast of Yearly Series Is Scheduled -A new 1937 model, streamlined ^ “Emerald of the Air” program will take the air over station KORE tonight at 8:45.
