Bob Sheets, Beta Theta Pi, was finally nominated for the post of head man by a bloc of nine houses including the ATOs, Betas, Fijis, SAEs Phi Delts, Kappa Pigs, Sig ma Nus, Sigma Chi3, and Chi Psis. The nomination was made at the conclusion of a long hectic session, and the meeting was ad journed without making any fur ther attempt to finisn the ticket. Known to be in opposition with the former bloc is the group made up of the Sig Ep3. Delts, DUs, Pi Kaps, Phi Sigs, Theta Chis, and probably the Sammies and Phi Psis. Last night’s sessions also in icated that the independents led by Bob Calkins and Emerson Paige, both in the men’s dormi tory, would join forces with the Sig Ep-Delt-DU bioe. It was be lieved that the independents would be allowed to make two nomina tions on the bloc ticket in return for their support.

Erb Asks for Tamili] Spirit'| At Assembly President Requests Good Conduct and! Knowledge of Trend of Current Affairs | "A family spirit” for the 1938-39 school year on the Oregon campus j was the keynote of the first of the ; fall series of Associated Students: weekly assemblies held Thursday j morning at eleven o’clock in Ger- j linger Hall when Dr. Donald Erb, S president of the University, and! A.S.U.O. President Harry Weston,! shared speaking honors. Dr. Erb, in setting forth his prophecies and hopes for the new year, urged students to try to re tain and build up a democratic spirit on the campus to offset the inevitable loss of personal associa tion that will come with the marked increase in enrollment. Hunter’s Letter Read Better conduct in relation to the ! University’s reputation both on and off the campus was discussed in a letter from Chancellor Frederick Hunter, which President Weston read to the assembly. Dr. Erb further requested that students, in addition to behaving, keep informed and ponder in the field of current affairs, to follow fall political contests, to vote if possible, to watch legislative ac tion, and to especially keep up with the foreign situation. “But even as you ponder,” Dr. Erb requested, "you might also give thanks that there is still a nation in which you may ponder, in which you may dis cuss and issue- opinions—in the classroom or out—without any fears.” He asked that a higher scholas tic record, a more smooth-running internal organization, and a settle ment of University problems by es tablished procedure rather than rashness be the three goals of cam pus life this year. Saturday noon will be the last day for graduates to register with out paying a late fine, according to an announcement from J. O. Lindstrom, University business manager today. Chaos Reigns As Prof's Tux Miss Reception Several invited guests didn’t ap pear at a faculty reception held Wednesday evening, according to the host, due to a slight difficulty in assembling the various pieces of the seldom-used “tuxes” in time to reach the affair.

Failure to shake out the moth balls in time was given as the rea son by the embarrassed faculty members.

Through a misunderstanding, several would-be and should-be bandsmen among new students have not enrolled for University band. The course numbers are mu sic 195 and 395, for lower and upper division students respectively. Pro viding they do so this week, stu dents may add this course without paying the usual fee. In order that all bandsmen may enroll for credit, two groups are maintained, assign ments depending upon experience and ability. There is also a military band which lower division military stu dents may substitute for the usual Wednesday drill period. The foot ball band is chosen from all three groups, and, as soon as there are several vacancies, students inter ested are urged to consult the di rector, John Stehn, any morning at the music school or any afternoon after 3:00 at the band room, ROTC building.
