UO Mothers
Flocked to
register in Johnson hall almost
500 strong yesterday morning
and afternoon.
Ernie Williams, student in
charge of registration, reported
that the classes were running a
close race in numbers of mothers
present and that the final deci
sion could not be reached till of
ficial registration ends at 3
o’clock in the marble first floor
hall of the administration build
ing.
Mothers who appear later on
the campus are asked, for the
sake of the records, to register
at the living organization of
their sons or daughters.
It was decided at the first
mothers’ meeting of the weekend
of the officers and board of di
rectors in Gerlinger hall yester
day afternoon, to set up a new
memorial fund in connection with
their loan fund. It will be called
the Mrs. A. C. Greenwood fund
in honor of the past president of
the organization.
Money in this fund will be ded
icated to the memories of per
sons who die in the organization.
This memorial will take the place
of the usual flowers sent to funer
als by the mothers’ group, stated
(Please turn to faye two)
the executive committee decided
Friday while attempting to cor
rect faulty election practices
which caused the judiciary com
mittee to rule Thursday’s elec
tion invalid.
John Cavanagh and George
Maekin will go through the min
utes and constitution of the ex
ecutive committee and draw up
whatever measures are necessary
to make the election legal.
An official poll list will be ob
tained which will remove the ob
jections raised because of the
use of educational activities cards
for identification purposes at
elections last Thursday.
It was understood last night
that special pains would be taken
to prevent any “out-of-the-way”
practices at the polls, either on
the part of persons working there
or on the part of individuals
electioneering.
By-lav/s will be amended to
make the new election legal, after
investigation by committee mem
bers familiar with the legal
aspects of the situation.
Oreganas Will Not
be issued over Junior Week
end. They will be released
again on Monday morning,
May 12, according to reports
from Dick Williams, business
manager, and from the educa
tional activities office.

Bug Victims
Were Restless
Friday as They
tried blackmail, threatened ar
son, and pulled a lay-down
strike in an unsuccessful at
tempt to "break out’’ for the jun
ior weekend celebration.
After a futile try at intimi
dating the doctors, nurses were
offered everything from a private
de luxe streamline-convertible
combination thermometer-pulse
counter to the roommates’ worn
out house slippers—all to no
avail. Oh well, THEY won’t have
a hangover.
Perpetrators of the unavailing
attempt were: Kathryn Jenkins,
Elizabeth Hunson, Judy Sherman,
James Kurtz, and Jean Strick
land; better known as "the foiled
five.”
Six Pledges Were
announced Friday by the dean of
the men’s office. They include the
following: Jake Leicht, Stockton,
California, Alpha Tau Omega;
Patrick Wood, Eugene, Theta
Chi; Edward Crane, The Dalles,
Sigma Nu; Ed Denniston, Eugene,
Chi Psi; Charles Taylor, Colfax,
California, Sigma Phi Epsilon;
and Don Richardson, St. Helens,
Kappa Sigma.
Arabian Princess
I did not drivel off a verse
On the story of the fete,
And I think I have my reasons
Which I herewith will state.
For wherever I may roam
O’er land or sea or foam
I will never find a word so hard
As Scheherezade to try to work
into a pome.
—J.W.S.
