Class Votes Valid, Ruling Of Judiciary Frosh, Sophomore Elections Legal, Says ASUO Court The validity of the freshman and sophomore elections was es tablished last night when the ju diciary committee, supreme court of the ASUO, ruled that evidence presented did not constitute suf ficient proof that either election was not legal. In a third decision the commit tee ruled that it was bound by the "clear, literal meaning of the ASUO constitution" and that all certificates of eligibility and dec larations of intention to run for ASUO offices be filed two days prior to nominations regardless of whether that day happens to be Sunday. The first petition, signed by a number of campus people, asked that the freshman election be called illegal because handbills, unauthorized by Emerald heads, which were inserted in the cam pus daily gave one side an unfair advantage. The second petition contested the sophomore election on the basis of a discrepancy in the number of ballots cast and the total shown on the two check lists. At the executive meeting im mediately following the commit tee instructed its chairman to draw up a set of rules governing cases brought before it and to establish any other necessary rules governing cases brought before it and to establish any other necessary rules of proce dure he thought necessary* The complete decision in each of the three cases, written by Dean Wayne L. Morse, chairman of the committee, can be found on page 7. Finals Scheduled In Poetry Contest Finals in the W. F. Jewett poetry speaking contest will he held at 3 p.m. today in Friendly hall.

Sunday Funnies Long ago when I was home. Late on Sunday morn I’d roam To a box outside the confines of our gate. And there I'd lift the lid To find that some efficient kid Had laid the Sunday paper there in state. Though the headlines caught my eye, I would quickly pass them by To the funnies, which I would eliminate From the remainder of the paper. Then back to bed I'd caper, And with the trials of Daniel Dunn participate. But since I've reached the U. of O., I find conditions are not so. Come Sunday morn, I dasn't sleep late. But whatever hour I rise There are 30 other guys Who've decided what shall bo the funnies’ fate. Though to pleadings I give vent, I still must be content To scan the ads and read of real estate. —J.W.S. Questionnaires Out Questionnaires for the faculty survey have been sent to every member of the University staff, according to Dr. Beatrice Aitchi son, who is directing the survey.
