Turntable: Ellie Sends Pic to Glenn It’s not unusual for orchestra leaders to receive requests for autographed pictures, but the customary procedure was re versed recently when Glen Mil ler, who will serenade Oregon's Junior Weekend on his May 6 program, received an auto graphed picture of Queen Ellie Engdahl and the royal court. Miller’s entire program, which will be heard at 6 p.m. PWT over KOIN, KSL, or any other CBS station, will be dedicated to the “Of Thee I Sing” weekend. He may play “Of Thee We Sing, El lie,” written in honor of Queen Ellie I. The song was sent to Mil ler with the suggestion that he might use it on his broadcast. "Of Thee We Sing, Ellie” will be sung by the Alpha O trio at the junior class party Tuesday. Words to the song are by J. Wes ley Sullivan, newly appointed Oregana editor.

The still laves the class of ’44 without officers for next year. The matter will be brought before the judiciary committee on Thursday or Friday, according to Steve Worth, first vice-presi dent of the ASUO and director of elections. worth announced last night that the class of ’44 had made no provision to cause its constitution to be retroactive to April 7, date of the class nominating assem blies, and therefore raised a ques tion as to the legality of the of ficers elected Monday afternoon. According to Barry Campbell, sophomore class president, there was no motion made at the meet ing to provide for the nomina tions. Juniors O. K. The junior class meeting ap parently came out all right, the quorum present having passed a motion making their constitution apply to the nominations made April 7.

Early Settlement ’ Worth said last night that he would contact Orlando J. Hollis, acting dean of the law school and chairman of the judiciary com mittee, to arrange for an early settlement of the issue. Worth said he would have the matter re viewed in order to guarantee the incoming sophomore officers a term of office without the dan ger of being declared ineligible at any time during the year. The constitutions which were brought up Monday were based on a model constitution drawn up in the past by Phil Lowry. It has served as a model many times.

Don't Ya Worry; Air Raid Alarm Just a Practice To all thoso students who threw themselves under cover, and tore wildly across the cam pus in flight from the “Japs,” yesterday afternoon when the air raid warning was blown, it was just “another” test. Some mechanic or helper tried the bell to see if it would work, and forgot to tell anyone, so don't be alarmed that there was any attempt at an air raid. Although it didn't help much yesterday to know the signals, since the warn ing signal was blown, it is still best to know that the short blasts are a warning and the long, full one is the all clear.
