Whoops Mother! Wake Me Early-I'm Queen of the May! ! Snow White an the 27 Dwarfs uiiiiipjDiMftmimubhiipipb|jph!ijpypBp?* m ijiii 'i.mmi.11 iiPPMiPfiiiiiiirf.ilmmmmwm | didn’t think it could happen here. I didn't think that the fertile minds of campus pub licity men could breed anything quite as cute as electing some unassuming stooge as "Snow White.” During the last six months campus organi zations have sponsored 27 drives, contests, and elections for the purpose of raising funds or obtaining publicity. But they are all dwarfed by a recent plan of frosh glee direc tors to elect "Snow White” to reign over their dance. Why not elect the Seven Dwarfs, or better yet because of the material that is at hand, seven Dopeys? If asininity, garbed in the thin veil of publicity, ever stalked the campus, this proposed event is it. * * * ^!^T registration day fall term students were greeted by an ASUO card drive, where the captain of the winning sales squad was to be awarded a ride down Thirteenth street in a wheelbarrow. The next week saw a YWCA "felt” sale, (a "felt” is a publicity phrase for a pennant), and two days later the AWS pushed "mums,” priced 50 cents, 75 cents, and one dollar. The race was on. YWCA opened the "Pen ny Pot” for an iron lung, the Salvation army spread over the campus in a concerted drive for old clothes( and now some boomer is wear ing my other pair of pants), the Oregana "drove” for greater sales, another "mum” sale, and the rally squad sold "pom-poms.” For a few days there was a lull, then a dance was held to purchase a SECOND iron lung, appropriately enough someone played a Hammond electric organ. (Last month’s report of the state board of health showed not one single ease of polio or paralysis in the entire state.) & # # JX rapid order came Kwama's e arm el apple sale, stieker sale for the browsing room, an Oregana “snapshot contest,” a ‘ pigger's guide campaign, another “mum” sale, an “Ideal Couple” election where six male and female “ideals’’ were chosen, a Christmas seal drive, a whisker growing contest, and a Little Colonel election (but no k.p.'s). As winter gripped the campus, the YWCA held a “Wedding Belles’’ event, the Oregon Mothers’ club sold Duck-covered cook books, someone saved the Battleship Oregon, the YWCA sold “twists,” and a few days later “gingerbread men.” Spring term opened with a sale to “snow ball” a group of Oregon debaters to Reno, Theta Sigma Phi hoped to sell $100 worth on tickets for a $10 book order, the junior class voted on a weekend queen and four princes ses, the YWCA elected a “Man of the Hour” with the aid of $17 worth of Beta tickets, and yesterday the law school boys voted Joe Devers into the position of “Queenie.” =* a? * year will probably see a great in crease of “new and original” contests. Maybe they'll even find something I can run for. I’d love to be “Queen of the May.” —L.T. Fun-Roundup Mayflower: “Snow White.’’ McDonald: “The First 100 Years" and “Tip Off Girls."

Tonight uon Kennedy ana Mau rie Binford are sponsoring a “Col lege Frolic” at the park. It is an experiment on the part of the two. Believing that college students are finding too many Friday nights with nothing to do, these two are seeing of the said students would be interested in an informal dance jam at the park with a-student or chestra, student entertainment, and under student supervision. It starts at nine, closes at 12, costs but four-bits a couple, and if successful will run weekly. A floor show is to be featured at intermis sion with student talent participat ing. Songs, tap dancing, and or chestra specialties are listed in the show. “Snow White” is still on at the Mayflower and is scheduled to con tinue to and inclding next Wednes day. Every night but one it broke the existing house records at both j the Heilig and Mayflower. Send the Emerald home. Your folks will enjoy reading it. Campus Calendar j An important Panhellenic meet ing will be held at 4 o’clock Mon day in the men’s lounge of Ger linger. All Panhellenic represen tatives are urged to be-there. Regular open house will be held at Westminster tonight. Company D or the one o’clock ROTC drill class was yesterday designated as honor company of the week.

Company commander is George Moore; first sergeant, Courtney Laselle, and platoon leaders, George Clowes, Robert Dean and Clyde Walker. Inter-House Sing (Continued from page tzvo) house, and also accompanists must come from the living organization. The groups must be representative of the house and no small number selected from the group will be allowed to represent the house in the contest. Each house will sing three songs, one of which is an Oregon song, and the other two are to be selec ted by the house. Advance notice of at least three days will be .given each house so that they will have time to report of they intend to participate. The winning organization will be selected from the four best chosen at a student assembly or other meeting arranged for the selection. Faunt, appointed by Don John son, president of the interfratern ity council, has named a committee consisting of Maurice Manning and Frederick H. Haidel to assist him in managing the contest. LAST CALL for members of the Junior Class to buy their class c ard/\ See what the card will bring- you—and then answer the question: Is It Worth 50c JUNIORS! Get your ticket at the Educational Ac tivities office or from your house representative. It is our big year! Five University Skiers Placed On Probation for Rest of Term Punished by being placed on probation for the remainder of tho term, five University student who faced Dean of Men Virgil D. Earl yesterday as a result of an offense they committed last week while* on a ski trip learned that no other action would be taken against them. Having repaired the .damage they did the students were held excused from any further consequences of their act, although a report of tho ASUO Nominees (Continued front page one) the old bloc they have supported. As a clean sweep of next year's junior offices would provide the necessary “gravy” and show where the powder lies, both blocs will be working to swing the rev olutionists into their camps. In the frosh elections a split of the ATO-Phi Delt-Beta bloc may result over the choice of Chi Psi Lloyd Sullivan and ATO Wally Rossman. Meanwhile the Sigma Nu-Kappa Sig-SAE frosh are eye ing both SPE Dick Williams and Fiji Stan Staiger. The Theta Chi DU-Delt boys favor Williams, and the remaining faction backs Stai ger. Election Control Set With the adoption of ASUO Vice-Prexy Benson’s political “re organization bill” adopted by all of the classes but the frosh, much speculation is evident as to the outcome of the one-day election plan. Due to the need for stricter control of elections, this plan, with its central control board, is being hailed as a cure for “unfortunate” election day proceedings. No reports could be learned at this time on the political line-ups in the class of 1942.
