Approximately 100 students and cne member of the ASTP pre-med students, Fred McGeoch, attended the meeting last night. A Demo eintic organization similar to this one will be announced soon, ac cording to reports from head quarters in Portland. Club Hears Prexy Acting President Orlando J. Hollis spoke Thursday noon at a meeting of the Corvallis Rotary club. His topic was: “Personal Glimpses of the Constitutional Convention of 1787.’’ COED Freshmen 'Have Time’ At 'Coketail’ Party People came in by shifts of 100 at a time! The porch and steps were loaded with women waiting to get in. The welcoming commit tee at the door of the “YW” bun galow, with armfuls of tempting coke bottles, was unable to hand out the refreshments quickly enough. The girls behind the shiny black bar were frantically slap ping dozens of drinks on the board. No exaggeration: the annual freshman party sponsored by the YWCA to acquaint new girls with the activities of that organization was, as President Joan Dolph has aptly put it, “A red-hot good suc cess.” Evidently, Jo Dolph practiced what she preached in her new booklet, ‘‘How to be Red-Hot Good,” which first appeared on the campus yesterday afternoon. More than 200 coeds came to the party to satisfy their curiosity about the inside of the intriguing little vol ume in its gay green and yellow cover. Emily Rhodes played back ground music on the piano while the girls chatted and ‘‘floaters” flitted around the open fireplace from group to group of coke-sip ping coeds, asking whether they were enjoying themselves and sug gesting with subtle smiles that they join the “Y.” Arranged by Martha Thorsland the program consisted of a chalk talk by Betty Householder-—doing the talking; Jcene Johnson — doing the chalk ing, and Jean Kirkwood providing the music. Besides Lois Greenwood with a big smile, and Jo Dolph looking bright-eyed and triumphant, sev eral members of the “Y” advisory board were present: Mrs. V. N. Freeman, chairman; Mrs. Jessie H. Bond, Mrs. F. E. Smith, and Miss R. Louise Fitch. Mrs. Evelyn Street was a guest of the board. Council Discusses Mixers; Calls for Student Union Head What the ASUO executive council did Thursday night: 1. Opened petitions for four student positions. 2. Passed a resolution requiring the council approval of all ASUO expenditures over $25. 3. Discussed re-opening of Wednesday night mixers. 4. Discussed exchange assembly with Oregon State. 5. Picked a rally squad head. A new student union head will be selected by the executive council after interviews Thursday after noon. Only upperclassmen will be considered for the office. Last year the student union committee was revived after several years’ dor mancy and definite plans for rooms and services were begun under the direction of Gene Conklin, chair man. The position of sophomore repre sentative to the council has been thrown open because of the resig nation of Leon Williams spring term last year. Only persons who have attended the University two terms and have a minimum of 24 credits and a maximum of 73 are eligible to apply. After considerable discussion on the advisability of selecting a yell king this term, the council elected to pick two men as members of the rally squad and either put one in as yell king winter term when he had acquired .more experience, or wait until spring term elections when the position will be on the ASUO ballot. All petitions for the four offices must be turned in to Jean Taylor, second vice president of the ASUO, by Thursday and applicants will be interviewed at the council meeting that afternoon. Funds Require Vote On recommendation of Audrey Holliday, ASUO president, the council passed a resolution provid ing that all expenditures in excess of $25 shall be voted upon by the executive council and that all requisitions upon ASUO funds must be signed by the ASUO presi dent. As the constitution stood, the president alone was responsible for all funds. As Miss Holliday ex plained at the meeting, this pro vision was written when all ASUO money came from the educational activities board and was budgeted by that board. The ASUO card drive has made it possible for the council to run on its own funds, contributed by members of the stu dent body. It was brought up that the boys’ houses have requested a renewal of (Please hint to page four) Symposium Group Extends Invitation to All Freshmen The initial meeting of this year’s symposium program will take place Tuesday evening, October 3, at 7:30 p.m. in room 107 in Friendly hall, for which all regularly enrolled University students, including freshmen, are eligible. The nature and pur pose of the symposium and topics which will be taken up this year will be discussed. Under the year’s program, the group devotes one term to study of significant social, political, or eco nomic problems, through study, field trips, and lectures from au thorities, and two terms to public appearances. Last year the topic was "Juve nile Delinquency.” Members made 65 engagements and spoke to more than 8000 people. Previous mem btrs who are again planning to participate are Beverly Carroll, Louise Fletcher, Alice Harter, Esther Quier, and Sue Stater. The symposium program was or ganized in 1932 by W. A. Dahlberg, now division head, to replace inter collegiate debate by training in actual audience situations. Several institutions have since adopted ] similar programs.
