Voters to Hold
Meet Tonight
In Music Hall
By FRITZ GIESECKE
After a revolutionary decision
to recommend no fee for mem
bership or voting privileges in
the Class of 1945, a freshman by
law committee, presided over by
ASUO President Lou Torgeson,,
Wednesday approved by-laws of
the class constitution. They will
be considered at the organiza
tion meeting of the class at 7 to
night in the music auditorium.
Officers will also be nominate^'
at this meeting.
Decision to recommend no
membership fee was made after
the committee decided to avoid
split factions such as occurred in
last year's freshman class. These*
factions formed a bottleneck in
class plans for the entire year.
Torgeson warned that all per
sons intending to run for fresh
man class offices tonight must,
notify him of their intention to
run before they can be nominat
ed. They must also clear witl*.
the dean of women or the dean oi
men, to ascertain their scholas
tic and ASUO eligibility to hoIA
office.
Freshmen might be presumed;
to be scholastically eligible, since
there have been no grades given
yet, Torgeson said, but explained
that the class constitution, adopt
ed by the class last Thursday
night, provides for this eligibil
ity certification. He said he
would rather see the candidates
go to this seemingly unnecessary
trouble than to have any organ
ization activities be declared in
valid because of a “technicality.”
Recommend Plan
The by-law committee also rec
ommended organization of fresh
man class activities for the entire
year, and the raising of class fi
nances by an “activity card”
which will not carry the voting
privilege.
A card system of this sort
would correspond to the ASUO
athletic card set-up.
Committee members pledged
themselves to do all in their pow
er to avoid a split in Greek and.
independent ranks.
Members of the committee were
Hal Locke, June Hitchock, Ted
Yaw. and Fritz Giesecke.
Derby Demands Flat Feet, Smooth Line
In Wednesday’s Emerald, there
appeared a story on the grand
daddy of campus dances, the
“bunion derby.” Since then many
freshmen and new students have
phoned into the Emerald asking
for more details on the Saturday
night swing session.
As far as the gals are con
cerned, it’s the age old answer of
the survival of the fittest, with
a girl having flat feet usually
winding up far more chipper than
her sisters, at the end of 45
rounds. In most cases, underclass
men are required to attend the
derby, but the spirit of the af
fair usually envelopes even the
most reserved juniors and sen
iors, and they go along to see
that the underclassmen don’t
wander off to the Side in between
stops.
Open House
The dance is an open house af
fair with every men's living or
ganization making the trek to
all of the girls’ living organiza
tions for a short ten minutes of
dancing, and then taking five to
get to the next house on time.
Here are just a few tips that will
help things along on this night
of all nights as far as getting
along are concerned. For the
men :
1. Hmmm ... I don't believe
that I’ve ever whiffed such dif
ferent perfume. What is it . . .
etc.
2. What part of California did
you say you came fi'om ?
3. Was your high school tune
“On Wisconsin”?
4. How many strawberry, rose
festival, salmon derby, roundup,
or cherry blossom queens have
you in your house ?
5. What are you going to do
for stockings this winter?
Remarks
Here are just a few gems that
the gals can rely on when the go
ing gets tough.
1. When will the draft catch
YOU . . . when she knows darned
well that he isn't a day over 18.
2. Did you say that you came
from the “high country”?
3. You're certainly a smooth
dancer . . . (ouch).
4. Who plays football in YOUR
house ?
sh
5. Have you ever taken Shake
speare from Dr. Lesch ? -I want
to tell you that in class this morn
ing he . . .
By this time you have budgeted
your time into the required ten
minutes and can take five min
utes rest before the next batch
comes in. According to the n.oro
experienced men on the campus*
the best way to get set at the
bunion derby is to pick out some
queen, ask her to dance, and then
say . . . “let’s skip out and get
a coke.” Statistics show that 8
out of 10 who did this last year
wound up at Mortar Board.
It isn't as bad as it sounds,
really. It's not just another cam
pus jig. It’s really an event that
ouldn’t be missed. . . .
