I
Of Constitutional Change

By NORMAN FOSTER
The class of M3, one of the largest freshman groups ever to register
at the University of Oregon, will meet tonight at 7:45 p.m. in the Villard

will set up the present tin pants wearers as an official class. As is cus
tomary, Roy Vernstrom, vice-president of the Associated Student Body,
will preside.
All members of the class of M3 are urged to attend tonight’s meeting, i
because of its importance both to
the class and to the individuals. Ac
cepting a constitution is the first
step toward freshman participation
in campus life. Election of officers,
plans for the homecoming bonfire
and political appointments will
highlight frosli activities for the
coming term.
Should Bring Rook
Chairman Vernstrom has asked
that the freshmen familiarize them
selves with the constitution hand
book which they received last Fri
day night and also to bring said
handbook to tonight’s meeting. Sev
eral suggested changes have been
made in the present constitution,
and according to Vernstrom, the
Freshmen should be prepared to
receive the constitutional amend
ments.
The suggested changes in the
Freshman constitution are: pages
30, 31, and 32, strike out '42 and
substitute ’43; Section 2, article 4
—eliminate last four words of the
paragraph; and section 3, article 4
— strike out entire last sentence.
The by-laws on page 32 are not
to be considered as a part of the
constitution that will be presented
in tonight’s meeting, according to

perform on the University of Ore

any other organization.’’ This
statement keynoted the talk of Dr.
Donald M. Erb to the freshman
council sponsored by the YMCA

“When the intellectual, spiritual,

per cent, it will be time for the
YMCA to consider disbanding. But
that times does not seem to be
coming in the immediate future,”
the president of the University told
the group. “The YMCA offers a
splendid opportunity to combine a
social with a spiritual life,” Dr.
Erb declared. The president titled

a Well-rounded College Life.”

No-Date Affair;

The SAE tennis courts will be the
setting for the Kwama-Skull and
Dagger “Beat Stanford” rally dance
scheduled for Thursday afternoon
from 4 to 6 o’clock.
Aimed primarily at getting the
campus into its typical “hello”

nounced last night.
Admission prices will be 10 cents

Winners in Card
Sales Drive Still
Undetermined; 6
Houses 100 Per Cent
Spurred by last Saturday’s foot
ball suceess and the prospect of an
other this weekend, ASUO card
sales went through their greatest
day since the drive started. No
figures were available, but yester
day’s sales were expected to set a
blistering pace.
Apparently Saturday’s game in
Portland will see most of the stu
dent body on hand to jam the
bleachers. After Saturday late
buyers of ASUO cards will not be
able to get full value for their
money, because the game will
alread be crossed off the list, and
cards will stay at the same price.
Squabble Continues
Meanwhile the davenport - chair
squabble was in its second muddled
day, with everyone concerned look
ing for exits. The furniture, prime
booty for the first houses to go
100 per cent
ASUO, was claim
100'0 ed Monday by
-1 mi | more than one
— house. By yester
~ day the field had
— been narrowed
-75% down to two
~ houses, Sigma Nu

Latest report
from the educa

office was to the
effect that the

gil D. Earl, who
had pronounced it
subject to the scrutiny of the
ASUO judiciary committee. This
committee is provided for in article
five of the ASUO# constitution,
printed in the ASUO handbook.
BULLETIN
Below is the ASUO “Salesmeter”
which will each day show at a
glance the percentage of ASUO
membership at the moment. To
day’s level is 53.3 per cent. Watch
it climb!
By now at least half a dozen
houses are in the 100 per cent fold,
according to Glenn Eaton, who is
heading the fall term drive to stu
dent body membership. Several
houses lack only one or two mem
bers of having a full slate, he said.
Every outfit going 100 per cent
will get free ice cream, he re^
minded.
Sign Up
Today a big thermometer-sign,
showing the percentage of mem
bership so far run up in sales, will
go up in front of the old Co-op
store, Eaton said. Each day the
mark will be changed as it raises
with new sales, just as in the Em
erald.
Winners Named
New winners were named today
in the sales race among the drive
staff, each case collecting $1 thea
ter scrip books. Pat Taylor, lead
ing captain, won for her work
with sororities. The girls outsold
the boys two to one, Chief Eaton
reported. Carl Little, ATO, sold the
most among fraternities for the
day, Maxine Hansen, DG, most for
sororities. Ken Erickson, captain
for independent students, outsold
all of his salesmen.
With the game now only three
selling days ahead, sales are ex
pected to mount dally as football
minded Webfoots buy in. ASUO
cards mean free admission Sat
urday.
