Know Your Candidates ibA Candidates Brown eyes sparkling, the slim, bronzed independent candidate for second position on the ASUO coun cil has whirled through three years at Oregon filled with activities and with a high scholarship record. A business administration ma jor, Adele Riggs is a member of Phi Chi Theta, junior women’s hon orary, the Student Union commit tee, and associate editor of the 1943-44 Oregana. She has taken an active interest in co-op affairs, too, serving as president of Hilyard house, presi dent of the inter-co-op council, and all co-op social chairman. Nearly every term, Adele has been on the honor roll, twice with a 4-point. Her deep tan was acquired work ing in a shipyard last summer, and she plans to return again this sum mer, before returning for her sen ior year at Oregon. First introducing Junior Prom court candidates at the ASUO . nominating assembly in her ca pacity as co-chairman of Junior Weekend, Anne Craven later took her place on the platform Thurs day as independent candidate for senior representative on the ASUO council. As Marian Gage said in her introduction, the Emerald news editor “has been outstanding in her three years at the University, tireless in working on the Emerald, and has had a well-rounded inter est in activities, both social func tions and war work.” Anne’s 62y2 inches of height are topped with dark, naturally c.urly hair. When she is not working on the Emerald, or serving in some capacity on the WAA cabinet, the war board committee, or on Jun ior Weekend, Anne finds time to participate in tennis, softball, and badminton intramurals. She is the newly-elected president of Theta Sigma Phi, national journalism women’s honorary. Despite the fact that she is 100 per cent self-supporting, Anne has maintained a GPA of 3.2, and is vice-president of Highland co-op. Although a new student on the campus, sandy-haired Gene Conk lin has become active in student affairs, and hopes to become more active by being elected junior rep resentative on the ASUO council. Those who have worked with him know that behind his engaging smile is a lot of power to “get things done.” Already Conklin is serving as chairman of the all-campus Stu dent Union committee, and this spring has been junior representa tive on the ASUO council. At the sophomore Whiskerino he was tapped- for Friars, senior men’s honorary. Before coming to the University, Conklin contributed much to his education and experience. In 19-14 he attended the George Washing ton university in Washington, D.C. He attended the Eastern Oregon college of education his sophomore year. There he was business man ager of the association of students, and a member of Theta Delta Phi, national honorary society. * * * Termed at the nomination assem bly “most capable for the position of sophomore representative on the ASUO council, Leon Williams has enjoyed his position as freshman class president very much. He has enjoyed working on the freshman dance, and says the committees “really get in and work.” Although a pre-med student, Williams is very interested in mu sic. Acting as song leader for his house, he will lead his living or ganization, Steiwer hall, in the All-Campus sing. He plays the violin and piano. One of two male ASUO candi dates, he is 5 feet 11 inches tall. Although he has wavy hair, the boys at Steiwer hall forced him to have a close haircut. Anyway, he maintains the nickname of “Curly.” Greek Candidates One of the busiest rooms in the infirmary this week is that one occupied by Jean Taylor, Greek block leader and candidate for No. 2 position of that ticket. With a typewriter in her lap and spots all over her smiling face, Jean, a vic tim of chicken pox, is resigned to the fact that she has two more weeks in the infirmary. She still receives visitors, even though they must stand outside her room and shout to her the latest news in campus affairs. Jean’s activities have always been campus-wide, such as secre tary of the sophomore class and now’ of the junior class; member of Kwama and Phi Theta Upsilon honoraries; chairman of the hous ing committee for Dad’s Day; chairman of the Junior Weekend publicity comimttee; head of the junior skit for Coed Capers; mem ber of junior panhellenic as a freshman, and chairman of the co ordinating committee to arrange exchange assemblies with Oregon State. Vice-president of the Junior class, member of Phi Theta, presi dent of her house, member of Phi Beta, music honorary, general properties chairman of Coed Cap ers, and honor roll student. These are some of the activties of Ruth Van Buskirk, Greek candidate for the number three position on the executive council. A liberal arts major, this diminu tive, brown-haired junior has con sistently made a high GPA while carrying a big share of activities. When asked for a statement re garding her policy in the coming ASUO elections, Alysone Hales, Gieek candidate for senior repre sentative on the ASUO executive council said, “I would like to say that if I am elected I will work with the president and try to carry out her plans to the best of my ability.” A business administration ma jor, she has been actively interest ed in activities at Oregon since her first year. She was chairman of ihe war board finance committee; house representative for the Red Cross drive; on the Emerald busi ness staff; WAA basketball man ager; Amphibian; member of Phi Theta Upsilon; president of her house, besides maintaining a 3.3 cumulative GPA. Coming from Pasadena, Califor nia, Alysone loves Oregon, but thinks spring term at present is one of the dampest she has seen. “Since Oregon’s doomed — to have women in executive posi tions, due to conditions beyond all control,” said Phyllis Evans, can didate for junior ASUO represen tative on the Greek ticket, “I hope that in the future the campus will see more student representation, be it women or men, in campus af fairs.” Variety is the keynote of Phyl's activites at Oregon, among which are the rajly squad, AWS sergeant at-arms, Kwama president, chair man of ^freshman skit for Coed Capers, and house manager for the war bond drive last year. Phyl is known for her sparkling personality and her favorite hat a little brown boy’s cap. Although called “Miss Fit,” Phyl is anything but that when it comes to campus activities. .1= * * Florence Hintzen, who is run ning for sophomore representative for the Greek block, is wholeheart edly behind the campus Student Union movement. As Florence says, "I will do my best to help promote plans for the Student Un ion and to stimulate greater sopho imore interest in campus activities.” Treasurer of her class this year, co-chairman of the war board sal vage drive, and a member of the I Candidates Tell (Continued from page one) ated for the senior representative spot. Gene Conklin and Phyllis Evans for junior representative and Florence Hintzen and Leon Williams for sophomore represen tative on the executive council. Nancy Ames, ASl’O president, introduced the candidates and those vicing for the two top posi tions spoke. Miss Horstman re minded the students of the need for greater participation in student ac tivities and interest in the war and suggested the use of a student war bulletin to be published by the campus war board and AST’O assemblies with speakers who are outstanding in the war effort. She also said that in order to keep up student activity in the functions of government, the meetings ot the executive council should be published and a box placed in Co op for suggestions and opinions. : The University of Oregon federa tion was stressed as a important function. Miss Holliday spoke of the neces sity for more student representa tion on activity boards such as the student affairs committee (7 fac ulty, 2 student) and the education al activities board. She also said that the campus needed fewer drives so that they could be better ones and she called for closer co operation between organizations and a more active and more aware student body. Miki Campbell, speaking for j Miss Taylor, and Miss Riggs were i the other two speakers. Phyllis Evans, president of Kwa nia, announced the new Kwamas all-campus Student Union commit tee, Florence has exhibited a large capacity for work, and is the type of student who would be able to “interest next year's freshmen in campus activities."
