-EDIT Freshmen Await Judicial Decision o SPORTS Trojans, Ducks Tangle Saturday VOLUME XLIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1941 NUMBER 11 ASUO Judges To Decide Vital Frosh Question / Legality of last weeks fresh man nominations will be deter mined this morning when the ASUO judiciary committee meets to decide whether or not ade quate notice of “time and place of the meeting had been pub lished before the assembly con vened.’’ The judiciary group is meeting after a protest Monday night by the executive committee, which went on record as “frowning upon” nominations made at a freshman meeting Thursday •^ight. thus knocking out the 50 cent class card proposal. The executive body, however, is not authorized to pass on class proceedings other than by-’aws. The judiciary committee at its meeting today will have to decide whether or not the nominations Thursday were legal. Principal point of dispute in regard to legality of nominations lies in the “adequate notice of time and place” clause. The class constitution provides that class members shall be notified of nominating conventions in ad vance in the Emerald. Several notices, announcing the meeting, ""Were printed in the Emerald, but each announced that the class would meet in the music audi torium. Late Thursday afternoon, how ever, the place of the meeting had to be changed, because the music hall was unavailable. ASUO President Lou Torgeson, ,who was in charge of the meet ing, attempted to notify living brganizations. Several organiza tions, however, claim that their members were not notified of the change in place. Torgeson said he also stationed persons in the mu sic auditorium to refer freshmen t>kek to Villard hall, where the meeting was being held.
