'JYHE nominations came out as expected. The elections came out as expected. The Greeks came out as ex pected. The Irish Statesman Patrick Cloud, senior, can look back on a successful freshman campaign. His debut as big boss of the bloc was a rather easy victory. There had been no great worry, especially after he saw women’s houses clearly in line. The Irish Statesman can look for ward to spring elections with even greater hope. That the preferential system would have given ma jority and minority parties representation, that democratic logic favors the system, these were not the point. The point was that the Irish Statesman had enough new Greeks behind him who would vote as he said. Yell King Ted Loud, who aroused such football spirit, led the cheering section for his elder statesman at the freshman meeting. But this time it was an all-Greek, not an all-University grandstand. There had been no discussion on the merits of the preferential question. A vote that should have been de cided by open-minded discussion was decided by political orders. Freshmen could have decided the question for themselves. But the answer was put in their mouths be fore they had a chance. ! ♦ * * 1 1 I pj I | ; I tin #T*H1§ election statistics are interesting: If the Greeks had been voting among themselves for offices, Virginia Wright, Gamma Phi, would have been elected president (392 votes); John Ilelmer, Fiji, would have been elected vice president (389 votes) ; Dorothy Manville, Alpha Xi Delta, would have been elected secre tary (380 votes), and President Hank Doeneka, SAE, would have been elected treasurer (376 votes). Jack Olin, Omega hall, received 227 Independent votes for president, within five of the average Independent mi nority for the evening. He received more votes than any other Independent candidate. Greeks carried standing votes at the meeting by a | greater majority than they carried the election. Maybe 1 many thought it wasn’t necessary to vote with the strong § majority. Maybe more of them thought for themselves | and didn’t vote. iiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimKiiiiiiiiiiiiuuiuiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitij|iiiiiinmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiilliiinimiiiinimiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiii»i;ii:< 9 9 9 *7a Spi/ze AwotUen, <^|PIKINGLY speaking’, there’s a rumor rampant that needs squelching. Friday, last week, the University Co-op an nounced purchase of $3,000 worth of war bonds which raised its total war investment to $5,000 in bonds. By way of explanation : In ordinary times, the Co-op doesn't have an excess of $3,000. In normal times, stock turns over quickly. When “Joe C.’’ buys a camera most of the price he pays for it is invested in another to fill up the shelf again. Now, there are no more cameras. The people who make them are busy making materials for war. \\ hen the Co-op cash register rings up the price of a cam era the money cannot be used; yet it isn’t actual profit. * * * ^J'lIF, money “Joe C." pays for a camera today can’t be used for another camera tomorrow, but some day it can be used. The Co-op will need to re-stock its shelves with articles not available now. So these war bonds are, essentially, part oi the stock of the student store. Buying war bonds was the ideal solution for the problem the Co-op board faced when it realized that $5,000 which will be needed after the war was doing no good in its cash form. Now this money can do double duty—it fights alongside the dollars that fifty million Americans have already invested in Victory, and still it is ready to step back into duty for Oregon students in their store when it can be used.—K. N. and J. W. AdJlih By JOHN J. MATHEWS First all-campus jig of the term is spotlighted tonight in the Igloo. G. Carey, of course, is con verting the notes to music, and —as who doesn’t know by this time ?—the featured attraction of the evening is to be the for mal- introduction of Bro. Spider Dickson and A1 Kasmeyer’s “Blue Eternity.” Best of luck, boys. It’d really be swell if this new tune were to get the raves from the dancing, humming crowd that it has from those who have heard it so far: both a fine deal for Kaz and Spider and the whole school. By the way, last night’s Nickel Hop offered the best chance for a poll of disk favorites among the campus gang. Result: as expect ed. James and Miller are leading the pack, with plenty of T. Dor sey and Goodman to be heard. A couple of houses were a little tough to check on, though. * * * Speaking of Yella Pessl, that publicity gag pulled in the Beat a while back about the great pianist giving pointers to Teddy Wilson was no phoney. She ac tually has given the King of 88 tips on the ivories more than once. And speaking of Teddy Wilson, in turn, has anyone actually heard this “new style” he was supposed to have adopted? I’d like to talk to someone who could tell me where I could lay hands on an honest-to-goodness waxing of this new kick Wilson was said to have fallen onto a couple of months ago. Likewise F. Beckwith, an ardent Wilson fan. * ❖ And now, kids, we are speak ing of Mr. Beckwith. Last week I offered that there ought to be a jam fraternity called Eta Epsi lon Rho, which, in Greek caps looks like the English “HEP.” I had forgotten this little jewel as one of those things which just isn’t worth talking about twice, then suddenly I found that Bro ther Beckwith, a master organiz er and enthusiast, had picked it up and now has a crew forming Gulp.

Really girls, (we know who Between The Lines By ROY PAUL NELSON ONE OF THE fascinating as pects of the election Thursday night in Villard was the chain of disillusioned Independents who came filing into their respect ive living organizations with such slightly embittered state ments as, “Let’s go and smash in a few Greek faces.” They had just witnessed a Greek bloc in action. They had just seen a party of powerful paddle-per petuated political puppets in the act of voting. Greek More Stable The Greeks unquestionably have the more stable organiza tion, but only because each mem ber has been forced to negotiate, where it is left up to the whim of the individual in the indepen dent set-up. Actually, this election won't af fect anyone to any extent, ex cept for the honor gained by the four who were voted in, but it is the principle of the thing that offers a source of irritation. Not a Slam mis discourse is nor intended as a slam against the new fresh man officers. They are every bit as capable—and maybe more ca pable—than the independent can didates. Campaign speeches were as trite as usual. Standing back and eyeing carefully the proce dure was Mr. Richard Williams of the educational activities board. A number of assorted up perclassmen were also up there eyeing the procedure, among oth er things.

Among these was the one which Professor George Turnbull, of the school of journalism, re ceived from Dick McCantie, ’42, who is with the medical corps somewhere in New Guinea. Elmer Fansett, '28, former al umni secretary, and now in the navy, recently received one of the miniature letters from Lieut. Col. Del C. Stanard, ’21, on duty in Australia, Who writes that he has “met many fine people” and has had the privilege of “seeing some four thousand miles of the country by air and rail. Word of promotion to a second lieutenant of John K. Pratt, Jr., a former University student, who has been overseas somewhere in Australia since last spring, has been received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Pratt of Eu gene. Lieutenant Pratt had been a staff sergeant and acting bat talion sergeant, major. During his freshman year on the campus in 1940 he won the General Martin award as the out standing cadet in the competition between the University of Ore gon and Oregon State, being the only freshman ever to gain this honor. Alvin A. Gould, ex-University student, was among hundreds of men commissioned as second lieu tenants and graduated as bombar diers last week from three schools comprising the West Texas Bombardier Triangle. With their graduation, the newly commissioned men learned that bombardiers who were grad uated from the Triangle only a few weeks ago had participated in the raid of two weeks ago on Wake island, strategic Pacific outpost now in Japanese hands.
