second vice-president; and Harri
son Bergtholdt, treasurer. They
were elected at Tuesday’s ASUO

The program included intro
duction of seven students who
have been outstanding in college
work in the past year. Those men

was chosen Junior Weekend
theme; Glenn Hasselrooth, winner

Hoffman Foils
Bear-faced
Snatch Attempt
The nurses at the infirmary
made an unsuccessful attempt at
kidnapping Tuesday night when
they tried to “snatch” a long
eared teddy bear which snuggled
close to Lloyd Hoffman, who lay
in an infirmary bed.
Stealthily they crept into his
room after the lights had been
extinguished and tried to wrest
it from his grasp, but even in
sleep Hoffman kept a subcon
scious vigil and the nurses’ at
tempts at abduction were foiled.
Those within the infirmary last
night were: Virginia Langstroth,
Betty Deffenbaugh, Jane Kyle,
Elaine Grey, Patricia Howard,
John Merrill, Hardie Setzer, Fred
Karlson, Bob Skelley, Lloyd Hoff
man, Terry Mullin, Max Frye,
Richard Hanen, and Bob Mc
Auliffe.
Grace Irvin’s crew of campus
luncheon sandwich makers will
save the junior class $100.
Sell-out for Fete,
Ehlers Predicts
Orchestra Introduces Canoe Pageant
As Eleven Floats Pass Through Water
Curtain in Weekend's Musical Climax
Junior Weekend’s climax the canoe fete—will begin at S:30 Satur
day night, when the University symphony orchestra, under trie direc
tion of Rex Underwood, introduces the evening pageant by playing
special background music, written by Art Holman.
With all the reserved seat tickets sold and the number of general,
admissions dwindling rapidly, students who wish to see the canoe feto
should waste no time in purchas
ing their tickets at the educa
tional activities office, Fred
Ehlers, canoe fete chairman, ad
vised last night. The remaining
general admission tickets are sell
ing for 50 and 75 cents. Even with
this year's addition of seats, a
duplication of last year's sellout
seems likely, Ehlers said.
Eleven floats, representing Jun
ior Weekend's “Springtime in Vi
enna" theme, will pass before the
crowd attending the junior class
water pageant. Breaking through
a prismatically lighted water cur
tain, the floats will be entirely
visible to spectators because of
their three-dimensional structure,
Ehlers said.
