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—

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.

Scores on Interception
Jimmy Nicholson’s run came a
few minutes later, when he inter
cepted a Gonzaga pass on the Ore

way through the whole Gonzaga
team to tally.
The Bulldog's lone score came
when George “Automatic” Kara
matic intercepted one of Nichol
son’s passes on the Zag 45, and ran
it back to the Oregon 14 where
Paul Rowe went through three
blockers to get the ball carrier.
A line buck netted two yards and
then “Scooter” Haug threw a
short pass to Lansing, Zag end,
who scored. •
Ducks Ilap at Goal
Oregon knocked at the door of
the Zag goal line for most of the
second quarter, and finally just
before the gun, Arleigh Bentley
smashed over tackle for the third
Duck score.
In the third quarter, Callison's
charges took a punt and drove
down the field from their own 45
yard line to score, with Paul Rowe
