Two of the houses have already voted, Highland house in favor of reconsideration, and Univer sity house voting against it. Hil yard house is to vote Wednesday evening.

Italian Singer Thrills Students By MARJORIE MAJOR In the famous “bel canto” tra dition, Nino Martini sang the lilt ing, poignant songs of his home land to a near-capacity crowd last night in McArthur court. Students were mainly im pressed by the smooth tones and the evident ease with which Mar tini produced his music. Pos sessed of a serene stage manner, Martini occasionally stood on his toes when reaching the high, clear notes for which he is fam ous. Classics Following the more formal, classic portion of his program, Martini announced ‘‘The World Is Mine Tonight," and an audible, mass sigh of anticipation went through the audience. It was at this point that Martini began the singing of Italian songs, and mod ern familiar selections which called forth a total of seven en cores. “La Donna Mobile,” that rol licking tale of fickle women was perhaps the most popular num ber, followed by the Neapolitan “O Sole Mio.” In the more clas sic group the aria “Che Gelida manina,” from “La Boheme” was the most enthusiastically re ceived. Shorter Works The turbulent “Floods of Spring,” by Rachmaninoff, and the tender “Tes Yeux” by Rabey were the most effective shorter works. “Spirit Flower,” and “Bo lero” were further encore num bers. Mr. Robert MacDonald, pianist with Mr. Martini, was encoi'ed for “The Blue Danube Waltzes"; and his rendition of Mendels sohn's “Spinning Song” and De bussy’s “Reflexions dan’s l’eau,” were especially effective. New Song A new song to most listeners, “Amarilli," which was composed by Caccini in the sixteenth cen tury, proved a surprise in its modern treatment. Finally the long anticipated “Estrellita” was at its haunting best in the hands of Mr .Martini. His favorite, “El Trust de los Eenorios” concluded the program with a last high-note flourish. The list of Greek nominees follows: Senior class — Nancy Lewis, vice-president; Lois Bechdoldt, secretary; Clarence Terry, treas urer. Junior . class — Roger Dick, president; Barbara Lamb, vice president; Mary Robinson, secre tary; Bill Farrell, treasurer. Sophs Sophomore class —Bob Hender son, president; Alva Granquist, vice-president; Ted Kehmet, treasurer. Class cards, necessary for vot ing in class elections, will be sold each week day from 8 to 10 a.m. and from 1 to 2 p.m. at the edu cational activities office. Class elections will be held with the general student body elections on Tuesday, April 14. Cap, Gown Deadline All seniors must order their announcements, c a p s a n d gowns by April 18, from the University Co-op, according to Pat Lawson, senior class presi dent. A rental fee of $1.75 will be charged for caps and gowns, he said. in to the middle of the Igloo pow wow when Jack McCliment, soph omore in law, rose on the fall of Chairman Lou Torgeson’s gavel to nominate his sister, Elaine, a. split second before nomination:* for junior representative were closed. McCliment delivered a blasting comment, camouflaged by the immediately-withdrawn nomination, on Theta Nu Epsi lon, undercover political organi zation. Miss McCliment, a sophomore in arts and letters, came to the platform after the assembly wan adjourned and asked Torgeson to withdraw her name from the nominations. She had not pre viously filed the necessary peti tion, declaration of intention to run. and certificate of scholastic; eligibility, which would have au tomatically nullified her nomina tion. Split Miss Holmes created the poten tial split in Greek ranks when, she submitted a petition signed by 50 members of the ASUO and other necessary papers im mediately before the assembly convened.
