Co-ops May
Have Revote
Coed cooperatives are consider
ing a revote on the matter of
amalgamation with men’s co-ops.
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.
Whether or not a revote is to
be taken, it is believed that the
next Intercooperative Council
meeting will feature a discussion
of reasons for the girls’ previous
rejection of coordination plans.

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

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

Miss Holmes created the poten

she submitted a petition signed
