Haig Praises University UW President Visits “Your University has the repu tation of having- one of the best student governments of any school on the coast, with the ex ception of Stanford,” personable Neil Haig, president of the Uni versity of Washington student body, told ASUO president “Ti ger” Payne Monday. Haig spent the day on the Ore gon campus as part of a tour of coast universities. His purpose is to inquire into the different forms of student government in an attempt to find the best type to apply at Washington where reorganization is now underway. Surprised at the part played by politics in Oregon student gov ernment, Haig remarked, “Poli tics don’t enter into the govern ment picture at Washington. We haven’t anything to resemble the interfraternal rivalry or bloc system found at Oregon. Haig also expressed amazement at the seeming amount of faculty control found in Oregon campus government. The visitor was very pleased with the beauty of the Univer sity grounds, the millrace, and the friendly attitude of the stu dents. He plans to return Monday or Tuesday to confer with the executive council and to gather more extensive data on govern mental organization at the Uni versity.

Other of his roles are those of “Quillery” in “Idiot’s Delight” and Simon Stimson, the drunken organ player in “Our Town.” “When I was a freshman,” he grinned, “I played a tiger in ‘Noah's Ark’ and a ghost in ‘The Emperor Jones’.” Lakefish has done considerable radio work both on the campus and with the Baker Theater Play ers over KOIN in Portland.

ROTC Seniors Give More Time to Drill With spring weather and the speeding of national defense, seniors in the war department have dispensed with two hours of class work and are now drilling four hours to one in the class room. Most of their drill consists of practical field work such as a sec ond lieutenant will use in sum mer maneuvers. Since most of them will go into active duty im mediately upon graduation, they are practicing handling troops, planning battle formations, and gaining ground under fire. In addition to handling pla toons during the Thursday drill period, the student officers par ticipate in sham battles and move large bodies cf imaginary troops over enemy ground. Their year’s service will begin in June when some forty seniors will move to Fort Lewis commissioned as sec ond lieutenants. .
