Library Will Hold Anniversary 'Party5 Ex Com Gives 11 Letters to UQ Swimmers Committee Vetoes Trip for 'Ideal' University Coed Trie executive committee cleaned up a full docket of other business in addition to its mo mentous decision awarding stu dent body membership with the $2 compulsory activities fee. In chronological order, the first item on the schedule was swimming awards. Letters were granted ten men upon the rec ommendation of Coach Russ Cut ler. Those winning letters were: Jerry Macdonald. Jack Dallas Sherm Wetmore, Jim Marnie, Pierce Mallory, A1 Sandner. Ralph Cathey. Ralph Lafferty, Gerald Huestis. and Dick Smith. Next item was the fee ques tion. After that the committee voted negatively on a proposi tion from the University of Washington to send a University of Oregon “ideal girl" to a fes tival at the Washington campus. The proposition was turned down on the grounds that it would be too late in the term—May 17— that there would be no particular advantage derived, and that there might be difficulty encountered in the selection. Also sunk without a trace was the proposed University of Ore gon Rose festival float. The late ness in the term, the fact that the University band would not be available, and the information that some of the other large schools would not have entries, combined to defeat the proposi tion. The model, standard class con stitution which has been in the process of drafting for some time appeared at the meeting, together with a very business like report from Phil Lowry, chairman of the drafting committee. However, the committee thought it best to study the instrument and have several copies made before doing anything further about it.

That question is asked her over the* telephone at least a dozen times a day. according to Gladys W. Hay, secretary in the Univer sity music school. “Yes, it won't cost you a cent."

I I * J t t Announcers for Fete Selected Lillian Davis, Jim Davidson, Dolph Janes Win Posts Two boys and a girl—Dolph Janes, Jim Davidson, and Lillian Davis—were yesterday selected as announcers for the Junior Weekend canoe fete. Chosen from a list of 27 who signed up for tryouts, one boy will carry background descrip tion in the script, and the other boy and Miss Davis will do dia logue parts. Judges were H. H. Hanna, in structor in speech, W. B. Nash, instructor in drama, and Marvin Krenk, of the speech department. Selections were made by the judges on the basis of finding a suitable voice to carry out the canoe fete story, which deals with two mythical characters, Hans and Lizzy, who lived in Vi enna in the time of Johann Strauss. Contestants read ex cerpts from the script which is to be used. Fred Ehlers, canoe fete chair man, Donna Ketchum, and Pat Erickson, co-chairman of the en tertainment committee, made ar rahgements for the tryouts which were given in the radio room. Prize of $10 Up for Best Law School Weekend Theme Retired Judge R. L. Recken, Portland, has put up a $10 award which will be given to the stu dent offering the law school the best theme for their “Junior Weekend’’ this year. The weekend is fashioned after the junior class Junior Weekend with the one difference that a parade will replace the canoe float event. A dance will be held on the evening of May 4 to climax the annual event. For their parade, the law school wishes to enlist the services of a commentator. One of the qualifi cations for the post, Hugh Collins says, is incoherence of continu ity. Those who wish this position, or who wish to suggest a theme, should contact Collins or Bill Lubersky, pubilicity committee members for the weekend.
