    Janet Morris Abandons'Machine’
Executive
Candidate
Bolted
what she called a “political ma
chine” last night and declared she
was “running independently.”
She is a candidate for a “big
four” position on the ASUO ex
ecutive committee.
“I don’t want the student body
to support me if they feel they
are obligated to me because of
any political tieups,” she declared.
“If people vote for me, I want
them to do it because they want
me, not because they have to for
any political reasons.”
In Miss Morris’ declaration of
independence, she said, “I do not
want to take the number one
votes away from anybody.” She
emphasized that she was not
throwing her support to any par
ticular candidate for the number
one position, but said that she,
herself, was soliciting number
two votes.
Miss Morris was formerly listed
on a three-person ticket for top
ASUO iobs.
Passing Parade
(Continued from po<je four)
study, the college men of today
become the leaders of tomorrow.
They now learn the means by
which future wars may be avoid
ed.
That is the duty of education.
There should be no blackout!
Past Canoe Fete Winners
Will Add Two More Names
to their long list today when
canoe entrants floated down the
revered millrace again. A look
back reviews for the reminiscer
the top floats of past years.
Canoe fete judgments began,
as far as the records go, in 1920
when the Chi Omegas took high
honors. In the following years all
floats were entered by a pair of
contestants. In every year except
1927, in which no canoe fete was
held, winners were chosen. The
following list of winners will
probably inspire those houses
whose names are included to
have their name inscribed again,
and will inspire others to take
the honor for the first time.
1921— Kappa Kappa Gamma
and Alpha Tau Omega.
1922— Pi Beta Phi and Phi Sig
ma Pi.
1923— Delta Delta Delta and
Kappa Delta Phi.

mi Pi Tau.

ROTC Trophies
Are Outgrowing
their space in the military science
building rapidly. The addition of
the big third place plaque won
by the 1941 rifle squad in the
Hearst National Intercollegiate
rifle matches makes a total of
seven.
Captain Harvey Blythe’s
straightshooters always win—if
not a first place as they have be
fore, at least a second or third
prize trophy adorns the wall each
year.
The five members of the rifle
team will each receive a beauti
fully engraved medal in addition
to the permanent trophy won by
the school. Men winning medals
are: Bill Kirkpatrick, who also
won the national individual high
score prize for the ninth corps
area, Edward Berg, Malcom Al
mack, Milton Richards, and Rob
ert Sawyer.
Master Dance
Show Greeted
University students and their
mothers last night as they were
packed into Gerlinger hall to get
a view of dance students’
thoughts, hear songs which
America sings, and see life at the
University during Junior Week
end. Not a single word was
spoken during the exhibition.
Oregon’s dance students creat
ed thrilling effects, and students
especially enjoyed the jazzy
‘‘Songs of Basin Street” interpre
tation by Shirley Mulkey and
Tom Hardy.
An extravagant action act with
men doing the heavy work
served to welcome the overflow
crowd. About 45 students partici
pated in the five different acts
presented during the evening’s
performance.
Miss Pirkko Paasikivi, director
adviser and instructor in physical
education, received the praise of
the onlookers for her leadership
in bringing the performance into
shape. Kay Holman, musical di
rector, composed most of the mu
sic with which she ably accom
panied the “troupe.” Percussion
instruments aided the rhythmical
background.
Choreography for the acts was
done by Gertrude Shurr, Miss
Paasikivi, and Virginia Kerns.
Miss Josephine Persicano, physi
cal education school faculty mem
ber, was stage manager. Gerlin
ger hall had its stage effectively
draped to form the background
for the dancers. Effective light
ing lent color to the performances.
Oregon’s Isaak
Waltons Appear
To Be Virtually
stymied, if the returns in the Em
erald-Hendershott trout contest
are any indication. The reason
for the failure of the “educated
angler” appears to lie in the fact
that stream conditions have been
very unfavorable during the past
few days. But in a day or two the
flies will be hatching and ideal
conditions can be expected.
The Blue Upright has proved
the most deadly on the wary rain
bow, but the expected bug hatch
will probably make other com
binations almost as effective,
Unusually low for this season,
both the Willamette and the Mc
Kenzie are filled with silt and
present a difficult field for fisher
men. Many Eugene townsfolk,
however, have returned with pre
sentable catches and the Univer
sity fish fiends can be expected,
in the opinion of the experts, to
do the same.
“Streamlined” entry is provid
ed for the fortunate men of the
fishing fraternity who scoop up
a striped beauty in their landing
nets. All that is necessary to
enter is weighing in the fish at
Hendershott’s. Prize for the win
ner is a $5 fly rod with which to
go on other adventures of stream
land.
So get your leaders, fishermen,
limber up your rods, and sharpen
your hooks. Closing date for the
contest is May 19, and that isn’t
far away.
Smokers everywhere like their

fying cigarette . . . they’re always
Cooler-Smoking, Definitely Milder
and far Better-Tasting.
Chesterfield's right combina
tion of the world's best cigarette
tobaccos is the big reason for their
ever-growing popularity.
