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.

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.
