VOLUME XXXIX UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1938 NUMBER 113 Five Names Remain In ASUO Race; Frosh Constitution Missing Williams' Protests Goes to Dean Earl; May Go to ASUO Judiciary Group The possibility of repercussions from the frosh class nominating assembly last Thursday were seen yesterday when it was learned that Dick Williams, freshman, would confer today with Dean •Virgil D. Earl concerning the ad visability of taking the “missing constitution” question to the ASUO judiciary committee. Williams protested at the time of the class meeting, concerning the fact that the meeting was held without sufficient notice. He also questioned Prexy Tiger Payne’s authority to call the assembly on a different date from the one stated in the supposed constitu tion, he said. Williams had pre viously read a soph constitution and asked during the meeting that Payne consult a frosh constitu tion before proceeding with the meeting. {Please turn to page two) Staunch Drama Pals Will Assist U of W Actress By ALYCE ROGERS Janet Waldo, ex-University of Washington drama student now in Hollywood under temporary option contract to Paramount gets her first real chance in “Stolen Heav en” soon to be released.

Doc-'| tors pronounced the rl5-year-cpd ! Vida youth dead after rescuers had ! applied artificial respiration to the i body for an hour. 1 Nickels was trapped in an auto | mobile which went out of control ! and carened into deep water just above the Leaburg power dam on the McKenzie highway. Hall, Milo Lacey, and Don Mac Iaren, all of the University, were among the six rescuers who re- ( I peatedly ddve into the icy cold | water after the youth. Hall finally managed to get in the car and pull the high school boy out of the car and bring him to the surface. Three other occupants in the car escaped safely by swimming from the car as it settled to the lake’s bottom.

Jean Palmer Is Lone Girl Candidate; One Nominee May Drop From Race With the nomination for the four positions on the ASUO executive committee swelled to a total of seven names by Saturday after noon and depleted by the with drawal of two persons Monday, campus politicos are scurrying to see who will be the next candidate dropped from the race before elec tion time Thursday. Four Added, Two Lost To the Friday nomination by pe tition of Harry Weston were added the names of Jean Palmer, Clair Hoflich, Bernadine Bowman, and Ruth Tawney on Saturday. By Monday morning the last two had dropped out of the race. Miss Palmer, the only girl on the ticket, will draw the first choice votes of five sororities be sides a large number of women’s votes on the campus, it is believed. Another May Withdraw Observers of the Thirteenth street scene are of the opinion that either Hoflich or previously-nomi nated Wally Johansen will drop out of the race to swing additional votes to other candidates. Hoflich may withdraw to throw more strength behind Zane Kemler, while Johansen, candidate believed being pushed forward by the letter men, may drop out for a consid eration to throw additional strength behind Harry Weston. Meanwhile second and third choice votes will be counted more closely before the election in an attempt to figure ways to place particular candidates in certain positions by way of Thursday’s preferential ballot.

The answer is, not as much as one might expect. Friday is a breeze, everything free for the mothers, unless they decide to go to the baseball game, which will be at regular admission prices. Free are the campus luncheon, the burlesque canoe fete and water carni-. val, the terrace dance, and the Junior prom, which will have a special section for mother*. Saturday is a different story, but not too different. The only two events which will require any parting with cash are the mo thers’ banquet in John Straub memorial building and the “Vaga-: bond Melody” canoe fete in the evening. The banquet costs a dollar a plate and the fete $1, 75 cents, or 50 cents. At no pecuniary consideration at all the mothers can be taken to see the tug-of-war down by the millrace, have lunch at living organizations, and attend the Sunlight serenade at the music build ing. They can even go to the terrace dance if they so desire. Sunday winds up the program with only one charge event on the schedule, the Helen Jepson concert at McArthur court. Figure up the total score and it isn’t nearly as bad as it might, be. All the pay doings include the banquet—$1; the fete—probably! 75 cents (unless she pays the freight, when there are two other prices, $1 and 50 cents); add Helen Jepson, choosing from $1.25, $1, and 75 cents. ] Taking the middle prices throughout the whole thing comes to —$2.75.
