TPHh law school. it scorns, is nl il again, or at least flic crow of riithor delightful lunalics who comprise iis sludcnl hodv arc at it. The breaking into print of llio annual law school spring weekend focuses attention on these hard-working, fast-talking youngsters, who, except for an occasional wordy out hurst, are content most of the time to carry back breaking courses as a program of sound pro fessional training in the stiffest school in the University. Normally about all the campus in general sees of law students is either through their between-class cloud of cigarette smoke on the steps of Kenton or traveling menlwnrd. * * # QtlMlil spring term, however, the law stu dents, somewhat lessened in numbers through the school's own system of elimina lion, begin to “feel their oats.’’ They get talkative, and they become adept at cooking up outlandish plots. I heir language becomes that of men who have seen a great nianv words and become familiar with them. They become fast on Ilnur feet. hacli year since nobody knows when, the would-be lawyers, having been a living ex ample of fermentation or the boiling kettle whose lid is rattling, get up enough momen tum for one planned group weekend which is one of the classics of the I Diversity. Some times they give it a name; sometimes tliev feature iheir “baseball” ?amn with the lmsl ness administrat ion boys; sometimes the big item is the parade I hey stage; before1 the* frame. This year, il seems their piece do resistance* is none oilier Ilian a rather beefy “queen,” former football captain, bulwark of the line, Tony Amato, who is to he crowned Queen Anthony the first. They announce the “queen” will “weight down a barge” at the canoe fete. The queen weighs well over 200 pounds, a fact of which the boys are begin ning' to take cognizance increasingly as they consider carrying 1 h is royalty about the stroots in their parade. ^O.WhKXTV; the law school, its pranks and its talkers and its traditions, enough material could he found without the use of reference works to fill a dozen newspapers. Their quaint custom of electing an official barber as a law school student body officer tor the sole purpose of throwing him into the millraee is something only such a group could perpetrate and perpetuate. Their barber is not the most unpopular they can find, but is instead the one whose millracing will give the greatest degree of collective pleasure to 1 lie st udenl body. # * «! 'J^nivSK are the kind of things which are a constant, source of rather innocuous delight lo watchers of the campus quasi-logal scene. 1 upredictnble as these quick minds and high spirits are, I here is never any telling what will he the next issue from the tireless unofficial propaganda bureaus which pour endless streams of plain and fancy applesauce upon an unsuspecting world. There seems to be something about that law school, regardless of where it is or who is enrolled there in any particular year. May be il comes from the endless research the boys are involved in. But whatever it is, it is evi dent something develops to make them ex ceedingly quick in their reactions. # # a ^jpnI'jRT'j would ho little* point in extolling ' the merits of the law school and of its students for their effervescence arising of sound foundations, unless it were to attempt to borrow some of whatever it is they seem to possess in quantity. They get. it the hard wav, hut they master the English language as few college people ever manage to do, and 1,loir '"'"<1* ft Hu's point of their careers are far from stagnation. They are a serious »,iM,led group of young men, plus one young woman this year, hut they take time out to I'Ml on a weekend which they with complete luck of modesty claim wiki dwarf Junior Weekend. Whether it does that or not, it is certain the barristers will have a good time, and it will be good for them to relax before examinations. At the same time Ihe campus will have its annual peek into law school spirit. This school within a school has much to be pcoud of. Certainly it should not be amiss to consider what it is that makes a school good. All hail, Queen Anthony, and may there be no long faces in your court this weekend. Proportional Vote System Outlined as Election Nears The proportional representatior system of choosing members o; the executive committee is n< stranger to campus voters, having been in effect since 1937, but it is nevertheless open to repeated ex planation with the approach ol each annual election. The elemental part of the sys tem is the theory of choices. Nom inations are for positions on tin executive committee, and nothing else. But when it comes to voting, the candidate who amasses the greater number of first choices will emerge head man. Each voter will be given a ballot listing tlie names of all the can didates, with a blank square beside each one. In these squares the vot er will put numbers indicating the order of his preference for the dif ferent candidates, putting down as many choices in 1-2-3 order as he wishes. The voting itself will be simple. It is in the subsequent tabulation that the task becomes complicated. Tabulators will sort all ballots cut in piles, according to the first choices indicated. The ballots on which A is given first choice will be on one stack; those on which B is first choice rate another stack, and so on. Then the ballots will bt , counted and the candidate credited with the number of first choices he has received. . « The "quota" is figured out im mediately upon the closing of the polls. The quota is the least num ber of votes by which a candidate can be elected, anil is achieved by dividing the total number of votes cast by a number one greater than I greater than the total number of offices to be filled, and adding one to the resulting quotient. Thus if there are 1500 votes cast and there are four offices to fill, the quota will be obtained by dividing 1500 by five and adding one, giving 301. After the ballots have been sorted, if the number of first choices received by any candidate exceeds or is equal to the quota, he will he declared elected. Should the already-elected can didate receive votes in excess of the quota the surplus will not be wasted. From his pile a number of votes equivalent to the surplus will be drawn, and the second choice indicated on these ballots credited to the account of candidates not yet elected, but still in the running. If the addition of these votes to any candidate's total raises the figure to the quota, he will be declared elected. Then, after all of the first-choice ballots have been distributed, the candidate with the least number of votes will be declared defeated, and his ballots will be distributed, each one going to the "continuing candidate” indicated as next choice. A “continuing candidate" is one not yet elected or defeated. If this transfer of the “defeated" candidate's ballots raises the total of another candidate’s votes over the quota he will be pronounced elected. After this has been done, [ if there have not been elected the requisite number of candidates, ‘gain the one with the lowest total is eliminated, and his ballots trans ferred to the continuing candi dates Ibis process of transferring continues until the election is ended. The election will be ended when the requisite number of offices are filled. Dr. Parsons Reads Paper for Planners Dealing with the chief topic of concern, Dr. Phillip A. Parsons, head of the sociology department, read a paper "Human Needs and Human Problems of the Northwest Area,' with especial regard to the immigration problem, at the fifth Artists Also Forget; This One Normal Here’s proof that great artists are just everyday people like the rest of us.

What has Italy got that the law school hasn’t? Nothing now. A group of the lawyers decided Monday afternoon that the law school couldn’t be outdone, even by the great European powers. So this group got together and set up a dic tatorship. At exactly 3:05 Monday after noon a proclamation was issued which does away with a democratic ! government in the law school (sup posedly!. Emergency Cited The proclamation is as follows: Whereas: A state of grave emer gency exists: Britain is calling her youth to the colors; France is un der a state of dictatorship: Ger many threatens the peace of the world; Italy is ruled by the mailed fist; the armed millions of Russia m&ss at the frontiers!!! Etc. Whereas: It has become neces sary by reason of said emergency to insure a united front and maintain law and order—the status quo— within the borders of the law school; and to enable the head of the government to deal effectively and firmly with these other major powers; Be it therefore proclaimed: 1. Democratic government in the law school is suspended. 2. A dictatorship is established, with full and complete powers vest ed in Der Furor, erstwhile the presi dent of the student body, subject to .10 checks and no balances. 3. All opposition is hereby abol ished, being dangerous to the unity of tilt people in support of Der Fu ror. 4. T,rs law school is placed under martial iaw, to be administered by Der Furor with the assistance of the Gestupor (secret police). 5. All edicts of Der Furor are to be regarded as the supreme law, and obeyed to the letter, under penalty of governmental retribution.

Top ROTCs Drill for Meet Steady drill has been in order for the ROTC honor company this term, for the 10 o’clock section has been preparing to take part in the annual Governor’s day competition ' May 19. The competition will be held at Oregon State college this year since it was held in Eugene s last year. The competition was inaugurated i by former Governor Charles H. Martin, who offered a plaque to the school which wins in the com petition and held by that school until the other school wins the competition. Governor to Present Plaque A letter was received recently at the military department inform ing them that Governor Charles A. Sprague would attend the compe tition and present the plaque. There was considerable doubt that the competition would be held this year.

However, it was finally decided that the com petition would be held, but only the honor company and the band would be sent, not the entire unit.; Phi Beta Holds Initiation At a candle light ceremony Sun day evening 34 women students fiom Oregon and Oregon State were initiated into Phi Beta, na tional music and drama honorary in Gerlinger hall.
