Attention*, fyp^esixdaAAmen... This is an open letter to all upperclassmen, be you Greek or Independent, who are meddling in frosh politics: Thursday night a beginning was made towards a freshman campaign free from outside control. It was agreed by both the Greek bloc and the ISA that the freshmen should meet by themselves and nominate candidates whom they desired, and not necessarily those picked out by the “older ’ members of thir organizations. The freshmen have been given the opportunity to start their politics off on the right foot. They have been offered the chance to select their own candidates and run their own cam paigns—Officially, that is. If such an ideal is to become an actuality you upperclassmen must climb back into your books and extract your already soiled fingers from the freshman political pie. You may cry out that these poor, unguided freshmen have no experience in the line of politics and need your leadership to bring them through elections unscathed. Phooey! They went to high school, didn’t they? Most high schools have student bodies and the officers that go with such organizations. They know how to nominate someone for an office, and they are quite capable of deciding for themselves which candidate is the best. Perhaps they are not hep to the latest methods of inveigling or forcing other students to vote their way, but that isn't exactly a point against them. How about giving the freshmen a chance, upperclassmen? Let them run their own nomination assemblies and elections. Maybe we’ll see the cleanest election this campus has ever had. It’s worth a try, anyway. • # r Qaal: One -Ambulance Probably the most ambitious organization on this campus and one which is continually amazing students and onlookers is the campus war board. Although the group started out last year as merely another campus activity, since then it has rapidly developed into an organization notable for achieving the ex tremely high goals which it sets itself and of invariably having behind it the whole-hearted cooperation of a campus under going the deadening influence of wartime. Now the latest drive which the board has opened is the “dime dinner” plan w hich was initiated last year. However, a new note has been struck this term with an entirely different purpose invigorating it. Beginning next Monday, instead of giving the students an opportunity to purchase the usual 10 cent stamp at dinner, plans have also been made to sell 25 cent stamps so as to encourage students to start in on individual stamp books. This is an endeavor on the part of the war board to turn the drives into more personal and individual efforts. Of course, the customary "dime dinner” will remain in effect and representatives will sell 10 cent stamps for those who wish to continue the pre\ ions method. The goal for the entire year’s stamp sales has been set bv the war board as the purchase of a field ambulance bearing the name of the University of Oregon. However, this will only be done if the sales reach $2,000. ball term’s stamp drive netted a sum total of $573. W ith the inauguration of the 25 cent stamp the war board h».a definite hopes of encouraging students to purchase stamps of a higher bracket. Winter and spring term stamp driv es will have to exceed the fall term amount if the goal is to be reached, and students are urged to accomplish even more this term than was done during the fall. The sale ol these stamps affect not only the war effort but contribute their part to keeping inflation at a minimum. The purchase of one 25 cent stamp a week from one million college students would buy five l’-4/s a week which is enough in itself to make each student on the campus look with a little more respect to that weekly war stamp. The moment calls for an immediate response by all to the IF A JiUJJlJY MEET A BUDDY By JEANNE WILTSHIRE Today's women are right in the thick of things from street fighting in Europe to our own uniformed service women in this country. And we’re proud to say Oregon’s wom en are no exception. For example, Marine First Lieut.

The program is always good for plenty of laughs and the stars are well supported by Joan Merrill and Ray Noble’s orchestra. Don’t miss this NBC show next Sunday at 5. - “Naughty Marietta,” one of Vic tor Herbert’s best loved operettas, will recreate the beauty and ro mance of old French New Orleans when it is broadcast over the Chi cago Theater of the Air tonight from 8 to 9 over Mutual. With Marion Claire in the title role, sup ported by Angelo Raffaelli, it looks like a good program to hear, promising much of the gaiety and color of a Mardi Gras pageant. One of the top educational pro grams on the air today, The Hu man Adventure, will present a dramatization entitled “Settlement Lady” depicting the work of the first director of the University of Chicago Settlement house in Chi cago's notorious back-of-the-yards district. If you're interested in name bands, you'll like The Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands which is broadcast Monday through Satur day at 6:30 over the Blue network. BACK AGAIN!
