Tuesday, April 13, will be the deadline for all petitions for positions to be turned in at Barde’s office in the YMCA hut. The only possibility for a man, as far as Barde knows at present, may be a soldiers’ representative from the group of soldiers ex pected to be on the campus next year. Due April 13 Petitions for war board posi tions are to be turned in at Barde's office by 4 o’clock April 13, and should give the candi date’s past experience in such activities, and a statement of their ideas for the board next year. Freshmen are eligible for positions, Barde emphasized. The petitions will be considered and the applicants later inter viewed by Barde, Les Anderson, Carolyn Holmes, Betty Bevil, Marge Curtis, and Jack Robin son. The service scholarship fund chairman was Oge Young this year. The holder of this position is responsible for creating a fund so that ex-Oregon students who are in the service can obtain money to continue their educa tion after the war. Co-chairman Needed Marge Curtis, the present co chairman of the salvage commit tee, will retain her position, but a co-chairman will be chosen to aid her in the job which includes taking charge of all campus sal vage campaigns to collect mate rials to aid in the war effort. The service correspondence chairman, a position filled this year by Nancy Ames, is to inform ex-Oregon students of what is happening on the campus as well as keeping a list of ex-Oregon students who are in the service. New Committee To keep the living organiza tions on the campus informed on necessary war time protective measures is part of the duties of the living organization commit tee. Dorrie Stein was chairman of this committee during the past year and she has also been in charge of enforcing the rules, with the aid of the administra tion. A new committee for next year, but one that will be very impor tant, according to Barde, will be in charge of hospitality.

Exec Comm Clarifies Class Nominations and Elections; Polls Open 8-6, April 27 ASUO, class, and Co-op board elections will be held April 27, the ASUO executive council decided Thursday afternoon. The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the YMCA building. Although it is contrary to two class constitutions, all four class nominations and elections will be held on the same day and the polls will be held open at the same hours as those of the ASUO and Co-op board. Under the Weepy Weeping Willow The second platoon of Com pany L didn't get quite as wet as the first platoon of Company L the other day at drill. All the other companies and platoons just had to stand and take it when the rains come, but not the second platoon of Com pany L. A series of quick com mands by a merciful cadet lieu tenant and the second platoon of Company L moved out of line in to the welcome umbrella of a weeping- literally—willow tree. But when the weeping willow tree began to sob by the buckets full and the lieutenant's uniform started to take on a camouflag ed look, the second platoon of Company L had to run four blocks to the overpopulated but roofed over Hayward stadium driveway. Please pass the Vapo-rub. 'Keep Up Morale’ New Hop Theme "Keep Up the Morale of Your Best Gal” is the theme of the last Nickel Hop of this school year rather than the idea previously announced, "Find a Nugget for a Nickel," according to Sally Spies, sophomore in liberal arts. The hop will be held Wednes day, April 14, in all women's liv ing organizations from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Title of "Den of the Wolves” will be given to the men's living organization which buys the larg est number of tickets. This win ning house will also be given a $5 money order for new phono graph records. The freshmaij class constitu tion. provides for nominations and' election of officers on the. same day. By the Thursday exec utive council decree, freshman nominations will be held at the same time as the ASUO nomina tions, one week before elections. Hours Changed Also changed by this decision was the provision in the sopho more class constitution that the polls would be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sophomore elections *vill be held at the same time a*< the other classes, ASUO, and Co-op board elections. Nominations will be held April 20. Installation of officers will bo on April 29. Robert S. Farrell, secretary of state, will install the new officers. Scholarship Fund Methods of increasing the sol diers’ scholarship fund were dis cussed at the meeting. The fund now amounts to 5627.6S. It was suggested that the various cam pus organizations, such as the service honoraries and Mortar Board, be contacted after the elec tion of their new officers and so licitations be made for pledges of funds. These pledges would be for next year. Audrey Holliday, sophomore representative on the executive council, was appointed to com pile about 15 names of students elegible for the Babb trophy. This trophy is given to the out standing athlete of the graduat ing class. To be eligible, the stu dent must have had at least one. year of active competition in a sport and a letter in one sport. The executive council elected for next year will make the award. Plans were also discussed for the curtailed Oregon Federation’s spring and summer activities.
