Coalition Bloc Splits Greeks; Nominee Lineups Released; ASUO Nominates Thursday With the Greeks proclaiming a “Battle of the Sexes” and the Independents proclaiming a "Battle of TNEsia,” campus politicians will "nominate from the floor" tonight at 7 :30 for 1943-44 class officers. Although both Greeks and Independents have already picked nearly all their nominees, each class must go through a formal nominating assembly in three separate halls—freshmen Moms Schedule Busy Weekend Mothers on the campus for their special weekend April 30, May 1, and 2, will not only be entertained while they are here, but will have some business to take care of, too. The business, in part, will consist of' considering a plan to award scholarships to students for pre-nursing courses at the University. At present girls taking nursing can apply for scholarships after they finish their schooling here and thus continue their training, but there is no special fund for them to draw from for the pre nursing training the University offers. The mothers will also make decisions on the annual Mothers’ scholarship award's. Special events which mothers will be invited to during the com bined Mothers’ day and Junior Weekend program include the regular business meetings of the mothers, a recital by the Master Dance group, the campus lunch eon, Sunlight Serenade, the all campus sing, Junior From, spe cial services in the local church es, and general open house on the campus. Students are urged by Clarence Horton, general chairman of Mothers’ day, to write home at once to invite their parents to the campus for the three-day program which will include en tertainment for both mothers and dads. If letters aren't sent out soon parents won’t have suffi cient time to plan their trips un der the existing transportation conditions, Horton said Monday. ETHAN NEWMAN . . . . . . who plays Mr. Sherwood in the University theater production of “My Sister Eileen.’’ Air.

All nomina tions are to be turned in to clash presidents with declarations of intention to run and certificates of eligibility from the dean of men or dean of women's office.

I>ark Horsing Late petitions for junior clas.n positions may be turned in to the junior class president as late as 5 p.m. Thursday and must also be accompanied by the usual pa pers. Both the freshman and sopho more class must have at least, one-fifth of their membership present at the assemblies in or der to attain a quorum, while the junior class constitution calls for only 25 members of the class. Coalition is the password among the independent faction for this election as the “freemen” go about breaking off huge chunks of the Greek bloc, mostly sororities thoroughly kissed-off at their better half, the solid Greek fraternities. The sororities are sore because the frats still demand that men be nominated for all the No. 1 positions on the preferential ballot. Slow Avalanche The coalition movement has moved along like a snowball on a slight downgrade, picking- up a little here and a little there. Bo far the Pi Phis, Chi Omegas, Sig ma Kappas, AOPis, and Alpha Gams, are pretty solidly for the coalition group, which is backed by the independent houses on the campus. However, several frater nity minorities are behind the coalition group also, and a few of these houses may swing all the way over at any time. Up until late last night the Greek lineup was as follows: for senior class No. 1 position, Bill Macy; No. 2, Sue Sawyer—for junior class No. 1 position, Art Damschen; No. 2, Ruth Van Bus kirk for sophomore class No. I position, Stan Williamson; No. 2, Barbara Baird.
