'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.

#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.

*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.

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.

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.

V-mail letters are becoming
more popular with Oregon alumni
in the armed forces as evidenced
by the number received by sev
eral campus personages.
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.
Two in Basic
Aviation Cadets William W.
Brenner and John S. Chambers,

the latest communique from the
Beta house about Bob Koch . . .
Oh, yes, readers, thanks for that

“Here’s Morgan!” . . . Sorry we

maybe Bill Minehart, who pens
the radio column for this sheet,
can throw a little more light on
the situation . . . Best music on
