Lineups Ready The Greek and Coalition line ups for the nominating- assembly tomorrow night are even more certain than they were for the class nominating assemblies. The Greeks: No. 1 position, Ogo Young; No. 2, Martha Jane Swit zer; No. 3, Jean Frideger; Senior representative No. 1, Bill Farrell; No. 2, Kay Jenkins; junior rep resentative No. 1, Jim Mann; No. 2| Phyllis Horstman; sophomore representative No. 1 Stan Wil liamson; No. 2, Virginia Wright. The Coalition: No. 1 position, Nancy Ames; No. 2, Helen Hol den; senior representative, Jean Page; junior representative, Au drey Holliday; sophomore repre sentative, Charlotte Calder. Toot, Toot As is obvious from this lineup the gravy train was given a clear track by the Greeks and a whole row of green signals by the Coali tion. Greek politicians are fully aware that, with the preferential voting system now being used, none of their No. 2 positions fer senior, junior, and sophomoie representatives will ever show al ter the ballots are counted. Nor will the No. 3 position on the ex ecutive council mean anything when it's all over. Slick Politics This system of loading the bal lot, however, does make the so rorities (who get these mythical positions) feel a little bit more like playing ball. As for the Coalition group - there the political bigwigs have had to make concession after con cession to the sororities, making it necessary for Independents on the campus to vote for a Greek girl on their ticket, in fact sev eral Greek girls. The bloc, candidates will be chosen soon. Their names will ap pear in Thursday morning’s Em erald.
