Petitions Given
To Exec-Comm
For Vacancies
Four petitions for each execu
tive committee vacancy were
turned in to ASUO President Lou
Torgeson by 5 p.m. yesterday.
Persons petitioning for the sec
ond vice-president’s spot, left va
cant when Jim Frost succeeded
Bob Calkins are: Ken Christian
son, Milton Small, Jean Spearow,
and Glenn Williams.
Persons applying for the sopho
more position, left vacant when
Chuck Woodruff did not return
are: Leonard Barde, Phil Hunt,
Bill Moshofsky, and Dick Shelton.
The evecutive committee will
probably meet early next week,
ToVgeson said, to begin a series
of interviews with petitioning
students. Petitioners for Home
coming chairman, however, will
probably be interviewed before
the executive committee appli
cants, Torgeson said, because of
the urgency of filling the Home
coming position.
Bob Calkins, now in the army,
was elected' first vice-president
of the ASUO in May. Jim Frost,
elected as second vice-president,
succeeded him, following last
Friday’s meeting of the execu
tive committee.
Chuck Woodruff, now working
i^ Los Angeles and attending
UCLA, was elected as one of the
two sophomores representatives
on the committee, following a
vote of the student body and au
thorizing two committee repre
sentatives from each of the three
returning classes. The other soph
omore representative is Oglesby
Young.
To conduct the long series of
interviews that Torgeson said
would be necessary before new
officers could be determined, he
predicted a long meeting, ad
journing each afternoon to the
following afternoon.

Derby Schedule Changed;
Marathon Starts at 7 p.m.
By MARJORIE MAJOR
Tonight coeds and men will meet and mingle briefly
at the annual fall term open house. Starting at 7 o’clock
this year’s bunion derby will be over by 11:50.
A change in the previously-published schedule has been
made necessary by the changed addresses of several
houses. As is customary, ten-minute intervals are allowed
between groups of houses.
Each men’s living organization will visit first the house
which is opposite its own on the schedule and will con
tinue to call on the women’s houses in the order named.
They are referred to the top of the list when they have
reached the bottom.
Ten minute stops are provided for at each house plus
the stipulated ten-minute periods. Yeomen invite all in
dependent men to join them at 6:45 in Gerlinger to make
the rounds. The corrected schedule may be found on
page eight.
Gridiron Shower
Postpones Contest
Rain that refused to go away
forced postponement of a pro
posed' drum major and majorette
contest between halves of the
Oregon-Idaho football game last
night.
Competition will now take
place Wednesday at a mass rally
to send the team on a trip south,
Les Anderson, rally squad leader,
announced.
Packed student grandstands
caught a brief glimpse of women
contenders as they strutted
across the field in a short “per
formance.” The five entrants in
cluded Mary Anderson, Doris
Gardner, Jeanne Gill, Betty Kos
ter, Lorraine Mason, and Helen
Marie Skjersaa.
Two of the group will be cho
sen permanent majorettes for the
football season along with one
of two men tryouts, Dick Shelton
and Elwood Rickman.
The first Three o’clock club
meeting of the new year was
held last night.
Advice Asked on Frosh Nominations
An advisory opinion on nomina
tion proceedings at Thursday
night’s freshman class meeting
wil be asked from the ASUO ju
diciary committee, Lou Torgeson,
ASUO president revealed last
night.
Torgeson said he felt it would
be wiser to clear up doubtfu’
legal points before elections were
held, than to wait until class af
fairs were taking shape and risk
ing possible nullification by the
committee if a petition for a
hearing should be submitted to it.
The petition asking for the ad
visory opinion will probably be
introduced to the judiciary com
mittee today, and an effort
will be made to have a decision on
the validity of Thursday nomina
tions for freshman offices before
Tuesday.
o
Disagreement
Principal bone of contention in
the nominations squabble is the
requirement, published in Thurs
day’s Emerald, that all nominees
present to Torgeson a declaration
of intention to run and a certifi
cation of scholastic eligibility
from the office of the dean of
men or dean of women.
Nominations of persons who
had not done this were not hon
ored at the Thursday assembly.
Giesecke
Chief individual concerned in
the squabble is Fritz Giesecke. He
was nominated Thursday night,
but had left the meeting before
his nomination. No declaration of
intention to run or certification
of eligibility was filed with Tor
geson, so it was understood
among the freshmen that his
petition was not honored. Later,
however, Giesecke announced
that he had mailed Torgeson the
necessary credentials. His case
will also be reviewed by the judi
ciary group.
Several other individuals and
groups on the campus had
planned to submit protests, quest
ioning the legality of Thursday
proceedings of the committee.
Photo Deadline Nears
Entering students will be given
a last chance to have their pho
tographs taken for registration
files on Tuesday, October 7, be
tween the hours of 1 and 5 p.m.
in room 2, Johnson hall. This rec
ord is absolutely essential, says
Dean Onthank's office, and must
be made before registration is
complete. For information call
the dean of personnel’s office.
Roblin Shines
As Oregon Wins
Home Opener
By JOHNNY KAHANANUI,
Co-Sports Editor,
Oregon Daily Emerald
A spectacular offensive
"burst in the opening minutes
of play, supplemented by
spasmodic spurts in the sec
ond and final quarters, gave
Oregon’s 1941 grid team a 21
to 7 victory over Idaho during”
the Ducks’ first home appear
ance in Hayward stadium last
night. An uninterrupted
downpour kept the turf
drenched during the entire
contest, as 5,500 spectators
huddled beneath sweaters and
raincoats on the stadium’s
protected bleachers, away
from the rain and chill.
Tommy Roblin. Oregon left
halfback, set the Webfoots up for
their initial score with a mag
nificent 62-yard gallop to the
Vandal 11. With the game hardly
on its way, Idaho halfback How
ard Manson booted to Roblin who
rushed back 15 yards to the Duck
27-yard line.
Roblin Races
On the first play Roblin
grabbed the ball from center,
faked a reverse, pounded through
a huge gap in the left side of tho
Vandal line, veered toward the
western sidelines, and streaked
along the white chalk mark until
overhauled after a frantic diag
onal chase by the Idaho second
ary and dumped out of bounds
on the invaders’ 11-yard line by
Dale Clark, Idaho halfback.
Duck right halfback Curt Me
cham slashed off left tackle for
two. Bill Dunlap, Oregon full
back, punctured center for one,
but Idaho was off-side on the
play, and the ball advanced five
yards to the four. Idaho, des
perate and over-anxious, was
docked for another off-side ami
the ball edged inside the two.
Roblin then climaxed the splurge
with a smash over right guard1
into pay dirt. Jim Newquist, Duck
sophomore fullback, pranced on
to the field to convert, sticking1
Oregon out in front 7 to 0.
Ducks Tally
Oliver's Webfoots chalked an
other score up after 3 minutes
30 seconds of the second quarter
had elapsed. Poised on his own
goal line, Pete Hecomovich, Ida
ho quarterback, kicked one out to
Roblin, who raced back 17 yards
to the Vandal 30. Roblin then
skirted Idaho's left end to be cut
down on the 13, but Oregon was
offside, and the ball retreated to
the invaders’ 35.
Mecham then slid out to the
Webfoots’ right flank. Oregon
shifted right and the ball shot
back to Roblin. Roblin launched
what appeared to be a wide
