In a rec ord-smashing session, the ASUO executive committee assumed re sponsibility for the frosh mix-up, voted “null and void” the by-law stipulation on 50-cent class cards, ami asked the judiciary commit tee for a decision of the validity of the nominating procedure. The question of whether or not there was “adequate notification of time and place” before Thurs day’s nominating meeting is to be the basis of the query before the judiciary committee. It is this point that has been the crux of campus attack cf the first nominating assembly. Meeting in President Donald M. Erb's office, at his request, tlje 10-man exec council heard the evidence. The Thursday meet ing it was revealed, had been an nounced in several previous edi tions of the Emerald with the stipulation that the place would be the music building.

Qu&ineAA, With cMitlesi Allen to Cite European Exploits for Students By JACK BILLINGS Oregon students are due for a special treat Friday, October 10, when they will hear Jay Allen, reporter and author, lecture on his European experiences. The assembly will be held at 10 a.m. instead of the usual 11 so that he may speak in Corvallis at 1. Mr. Allen was, at one time, a student at the University and studied in the journalism school as well as reporting for the Em erald. Professor George Turnbull, of the school of journalism, has •ftept in contact with him during his rapid-fire newspaper career, and last year, while vacationing In New York, Mr. Allen and wife, the former Ruth Austin of Wood burn, showed Professor and Mrs. Turnbull the town. Returning the favor, the Turn bulls will be hosts to Mr. Allen during his brief stay here. Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Turnbull carried on a corespondence during most of the lecturer’s journalistic ca reer.

The Anchorage purchase, which has yet to be confirmed by the state board of higher education as well as that of the rank Chambers property next door, will be part of the proposed new millrace development, made known generally early in Septem ber. A map of the proposed de velopment was presented to board members, showing ideas for the 14-acre recreation area beyond the race, changing of the course of the race, plans for a pictur esque lake area, new grandstand and stage for Junior weekend, and changing of the highway route. First matter of business for the evening was the decision of the board to request the Emerald business office to maintain a "no liquor advertising” policy. Season ticket sales for Greater Artists concerts, Oregana con tracts, board-sponsored movies, and a decision to refuse the inter fraternity council’s request for $25 for each house as a fund for Homecoming entertainment made up the remainder of the business docket.

Gosh, how was I to know? I write of all the sunshine, And then it’s sure to rain, And everyone I meet next day Is certain to complain. And then the schedules fit my pomes, And weather is just fine, Some fella in the pressroom Leaves off the final line. —J.W.S. Prof. Huffaker III C. L. Huffaker, professor of education, has been absent from his classes in school administra tion because of illness. Athletic Ticket Sales Skyrocket All previous records for ath letic card sales were blasted into so many polka dots Monday when Harry Prongas, chairman of the drive, announced that sales had passed the 2500 mark. Not only is this the largest number of cards ever sold, but the numeral record has been set in a year when actual enrollment is lower than it has been in the past. Looked at in the light of per centages, the facts are even more impressive. After dividing 3300 into 2500 and committing several other impressive feats of the in tellect, one comes up with an ad mirable 75 plus percentage of students who possess tickets. First prize, a radio, went to Marvin Gorey, the table salesman selling the highest percentage of cards at registration. A rare map of Italy, the work of H. Moll in 1714, was recently presented to Fordham university. Activities Board Raps Council Negative Stand By JEAN SPEAROW The educational activities hoard, meeting late yesterday evening, flatly refused de mands of the Interfraternity council for a $25 expense ac count to help bear Homecom ing expenses. Only concession made by the board was the suggestion that the educational activities manager might, out of regular Homecoming funds, provide money to pay for torches. All other money concession, how ever, were flatly refused. An ultimatum, issued by the Interfraternity council at its meeting October 2, burst like a frozen pipe in the form of a mo tion that unless the educational activities office pay $25 to each fraternity for this year’s Home coming expenses, the houses would refuse to cooperate with the University in the matter of the traditional noise parade and house signs. Following is the letter received yesterday by Dick Williams, edu cational activities manager: The Interfraternity Council at its meeting Thursday, Oc tober 2, 1941, discussed the problems of Homecoming for this year. Dick Larkin told of last year’s Homecoming and asked that the minutes of November 27, 1940. he read.

If no reimbursement is made by the school the fraternities will not cooperate hereafter. Motion passed.” Dick Larkin moved and it was seconded that the Educa tional Activities office pay the l.F.C. the money that is owed from the torches and also for the Educational Activities of fice to pay $25 per houses for this year's Homecoming.
