Johnson hall Tuesday night.
With activities and various rooms
of the building already decided
the five faculty and five student

ed now have the duty of drawing
a final draft of their recommen

The committee wras originally
appointed to decide priority needs
for the building and the site. Ac
cording to Dr. Will V. Norris,
chairman, the groups encountered
considerable difficulty in keeping
within the $250,0000 limit for the
building costs, while still includ
ing maximum facilities.
Combination banquet room and
ballroom, student offices, com
mittee rooms, lobby-lounge, game
room, dining rooms, kitchen fa

merous minor facilities.
Committee recommendations

and may be changed to allow
greater freedom in building costs
or for later development in plans.

Sick Students
Soak Up Spirit
From Weekend
Junior Weekend holiday spirit
seems to have carried over to the
infirmary, possibly because 13
lads and lassies succumbed to the
rigors of a full weekend and are
passing their time in a modified
rejuvenation of the celebration.
Measlite lads and lassies sched
uled a floor show for 8 p.m. Mon
day, but were raided by the
nurses and thrown back into soli
tary confinement for the dura
tion of their “visit."
Measles, colds, poison oak, and
minor injuries account for the re
maining 15 patients, including:
Frances Abraham, Kathryn Jen
kins, Frances Roth, Mary Fail
ing, Elizabeth Walker, Marge
Dibble, D’Ann Shoemaker, Eliza
beth Hynson, Ada Mae Jeppesen,
Don Broderick, Stanley Brown,
Jules Napier, Bill “puppy dog’’’
Lyons, Morris Goldberg, and Ed
Blumenthal.
Students to Get
Clarified Code
Organized Version
Will Incorporate
Total Constitution
For the first time in four years
the ASUO constitution will be
revised and all by-laws passed
during these years will be con
densed and incorporated so that
a printed version of the com
plete constitutional policy of
ASUO will be available to each
student.
Previous to this time, laws, by
laws and amendments have been
available only in scattered form.
The booklet will enable the stu
dent to see at a glance the entire
constitutional policy of ASUO.
Mackin Heads
George Mackin heads a group
appointed by the ASUO executive
committee to undertake the revi
sion, condensation, and incorpora
tion. Other members are: Betty
Plankinton, Virgil D. Earl, dean
of men, and Tiger Payne.
Another committee will draw
up an activities calendar, the
function of which will be to list
in order of occurrence each ASUO
event during the school year.
Committee
Serving on this committee are
Elizabeth Steed, John Cavanagh,
Marge McClain, Harrison Berg
tholdt, Tiger Payne, and Lyle
Nelson. They will be aided by the

heads of all men's and women's
living organizations, and deans

this committee will seek to coor
dinate the living organizations

ASUO Voting Slated
In Bungalow Today
J. Cavanagh
Tells Rules
For Election
Voters Required
To Prove Rights;
Poll Book Ready
Election machinery for today’s
ASUO voting was explained last
night by John Cavanagh, director
of elections.
To comply with the ASUO con
stitution, as interpreted by the
judiciary committee, the regis
trar’s office was preparing a
"poll book" with names of all
undergraduate students in it,
John Cavanagh, director of elec
tions, said last night.
"Students should bring some
reasonable means of identifica
tion,” Cavanagh said, in describ
ing the new election machinery.
He explained that drivers' li
censes, draft cards, liquor li
censes, and similar personal cards
would be considered "reasonable
means of identification."
Cavanagh asked that students
come to the polls during class
hours insofar as possible. Because
of the added checking needed in
the new voting system, election
machinery would be “consider
ably slowed down,” if a last
minute rush developed.
Ballots will be counted by
"Tiger" Payne, John Cavanagh,
the election board, and one facul
ty representative. Election board
members are: Marge McLean,
Milt Levy, Helen Angell, Wilbur
Bishop, Russ Hudson, Gertrude
Puziss, Nancy Ames, and Pete
Barnett.
Girls to Stage Ice
Cream Sale Today
The YWCA freshman commis
sion will hold its annual ice cream
sale throughout the campus to
day and tomorrow.
This year the sale will feat
uhe “Drumstocks,” the novelty
ice cream bars, which are cone
shaped and covered' with choco
late and nuts.
The YW salesmen will be sta
tioned at booths conspicuously
placed around the campus.
Chairman of the sale is Eliza
beth Edmunds, and her commit
tee chairmen are: Babs DuPuy,
sales in houses; Barbara Cros
land, ordering; Dorothy Clear,
booths; Pat Sutton, publicity; Jo
Ann Supple, sales on campus; and
Margaret Kortje, posters.
Students to Sing
Three Univex'sity students will
be featured soloists in the spring
concert of the Eugene Gleemen
which will be presented in McAr
thur court Wednesday evening at
8 o’clock. Les Ready, Lawrence
Celsi, and Bob Carmichael have
solo parts.
When You Vote
1. Bring some means of iden
tification. A driver's license,
liquor license, or draft card
will be good for this.
2. Come during class hours, if
possible. Added checking,
necessitated by the new vot
ing system, takes more
time.
3. Know whom you want to
vote for.
4. Be prepard to vote prefer
entially. That is, be pre
pared to vote for second
and third choice candidates
as well as for first choice.
5. No electioneering, soliciting
of votes, or loitering will be
allowed within 50 feet of
the polls.

dates for "big four” positions on

month.
Wrong Method
Previous ASUO elections, hotel
Thursday, were ruled illegal try
the ASUO judiciary committee
after protest by "Tiger” Payne,
ASUO president. Payne declared
he asked for hearing on the elec
tions as the result of complaints
made to him by numerous stu
dents. Chief cause of the illegal
ity ruling was the use of educa
tional activities cards as means
of identification.
Junior Weekend held down
much political activity during tlm
four days between elections, but
factions have been realigning
themselves and feeling has run
high in some circles. Campus
government heads expect today’s

been the heaviest in recent years.
