The Passing Parade By DOC HENRY According to the latest in formation received from the boys, there is a new organization on the campus, the “ABANDONED BEOUDINS” consisting of A1 Silvernail, who was conceded the position of king, and Jeff Kit chen, Jim Carney, Porky An drews, and Norm Foster, hold the position of princes in this club. This group was organized in re bellion to the monopolizing of their girls’ time by the Junior Weekend committee, the news bureau, and various other clubs and organizations. They are contemplating picket ing the news bureau and are go ing to have a float in competi tion to the queen’s during the canoe fete; rumor has it that cer tain parties have been holding meetings at the Three Pines and that their float will be sponsored by that party. Now for a few choice items that might be of interest: Keith Claycomb, Campbell co-op plants his shiny new pin on the prexy of H i 1 y a r d house, Betty Gregg . . . Steve Worth is running for junior class prexy against the stiff competi tion of Pat Cloud . . . the junior class will have six representa tives in a quiz program Thursday night over KOIN, they are com peting against the same number of juniors from OAC . . . Genii Brown, June Tyler, Marge De Bolt, Maurie Stein, Cullen Mur phy, and Jack Boone are the con testants. . . . Jim Rathbun was re-elected prexy of the Order of the O . . . Bob Flavelle is rumored to he, campaign manager for Sam Rich ardson, whom he is going to run as a dark horse for sophomore prexy, Sam has a wonderful cam paign speech in double talk, and promises nobody nothin’. . . . Lillian Ziedell, Hendricks, gives Duke Iverson the TKO (technical kiss-off ) . . . Nancy Allen, Chi O, received .many long distance phone calls from Tom McKelvie down Marshfield way . . . Les Endicott, Phi Delt, has been more or less monopolizing Gamma Phi’s Janie Furrow’s time the past weekends . . . Dot Flannery, Alpha O, takes Bob Young’s Pi Kap pin, understand that she had to break a lot of dates after the pin planting . . . Len Clark, No. 1 man on the varsity tennis team and Dick Hanen No. 1 man of the varsity divot diggers are al ternately dating Jonelle Melvin, Alpha O . . . Ruth Graham, AOPi, recently announced her engagement to Hugh Mercer, a home-town boy, now at Linfield. Pat Riley, Kappa Sig, drops his pin on Carolyn Holmes, Alpha Chi. . . Understand that the Al pha Chis have a beautiful new pledge, her name, Evelyn O’Brien . . . The Kappa Sigs have a new beach which is somewhere on the north bank of the Willam ette, according to Jack Lansing, newly-elected prexy, and they won’t tell the exact location . . . Guess I’ll have to pull a Jack Bryant stunt and find out . . . Dolores Tobler, Pi Phi, announces her engagement to Walt Walling, Beta from OAC . . . I want to take this opportunity to give my belated congratula tions to the Gamma Phi, song group, who performed so well a couple of weeks ago; I have had several complaints from them because I said something about the Delts and nothing about them . . . and they claim that they don’t want publicity. . . . Editor's Mail (Continued from page four) board is faculty controlled and not student politically controlled. (3) to assure the board as a whole that I, and I am sure the majority of Oregon students, firmly believe that the board, as in the past, will choose the can didate who is best qualified by experience, dependability and hard work on the publication to be directed and that prejudices of the past will not affect any appointments. (4) to emphasize that the type of political manipulation being employed this spring is not con structive, but actually destructive to both student publications and student government. It really shows the lack of ability on the part of the bloc heads involved and also their utter disregard of our democratic ideals. This afternoon four candidates will be interviewed by the Activ ities board for the position of Emerald editor. I have no idea of making the usual appeal to the bloc heads to use their better judgment, I know too well that that is a useless effort. Instead I am going to give them “my permission” to vote as they had planned. The outcome does not worry be in the least and it should not worry the present ap plicants, because these three votes are only a small minority of the total vote and their influence is not nearly as great as they try to make themselves and others believe—I know that from ex perience. —Wilbur Bishop Mrs. Roosevelt will grace our presence on April 30th. And, as is done in the case of all the art ists who appear before us, a slight admission will be charged those outside the U. of O. student body. Fine. But those of the townfolk who have $1.50 and $1.00 to put out for this affair are rewarded with the best seats—those with backs. This brings to mind a question which rankles my mind every time there is the presentation of a “Greater Artist.” Is the Great er Artist Series for the benefit of the University of Oregon stu dents or the townfolk, or for both? According to all information on the subject, the latter is the case. Then why not let us have a crack at those “seats with backs” as well as the townfolks. No matter to what Spartan principles one subscribes, one’s back still becomes “cramped” while observing the “Greater Art ists” play their part upon the stage. Why not let those of us with memories of “strained backs” come earlier and nab off some of those “seats with backs"? Confidentially, as a near-sight ed democratic hero-worshipper, I want to be as close as I can to my “First Lady.” Will the Spartan or the Athenian principle prevail ? Gerald Huestis. Side Show (Continued from page four) saddest thing is to have them go unread, but that’s another story. So since nobody tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, the gen eral, to coin a bad metaphor, must put on an overcoat and write a little less strongly than he probably believes. It’s Nearly Over As for the war, it appeared to be nearly over in Greece. The Germans announced that the main Greek army of the north, some 300,000 men, had surren dered and claimed that the Brit ish, fighting a rearguard action, were scrambling to escape in all varieties of boats, under heavy air bombardment. The Greek king and govern ment fled to Crete, but brave radio announcers still held the fort in Athens, broadcasting en couragement to the population and promising to be on the air tomorrow (that’s today). The surrender of all the Greek forces north of Thermopylae was the occasion for speeches prais ing the dead by Italian, Greek, and German generals. That prob ably made the corpses feel fine. Any soldiers keeping up the fight after 6 p.m. yesterday would be considered franc tireurs (that’s French for a free shooter or guer illa) and liable to summary exe cution, an Italian communique said. The moral of that is—keep it legal, boys, keep it legal. Cullen Murphy (Continued from page one) canoe fete duties will come under Murphy’s jurisdiction, Buck Buchwach, promotion chairman, announced. He will appea,r witn the queen in pre-weekend festiv ities as well as within the official weekend realm. Brown stated that chairman of the Junior prom will be an nounced in tomorrow morning’s Emerald with complete commit tees for the annual weekend dance. Rathbun Reelected Order of '0' Prexq Jim Rathbun, last year’s presi dent, was reelected president of the Order of the “O,” lettermen’s club, Wednesday. Other officers are: Elliott Wil son, vice-president; Don Kirsch, secretary; Dick Whitman, trea surer; and Floyd Rhea, Duke Iverson, and Val Culwell, ser geants-at-arms. The order looks forward to “a big year of campus activities," Rathbun said following his re election. He said the organization planned to sponsor a dance, all campus sing, alumni festivities, and a homecoming program. He added that they would again sponsor a “sportsmanship cam paign.” It is not true, however, he said, that the lettermen will “enforce traditions” during Junior Week end, as they did during Home coming festivities in November. Student council at Fairmont (W. Va.) State Teachers college is sponsoring a swing band. v_. 1088 Willamette Shopping the Town By MARY KAY RIORDAN It Being Spring and SA11 N o explanations | are needed to tell any girl about the advantages or wooden shoes, and now come spring, you’ll de light in the dogger sandals.
