The purpose of the campaign will be impressed on all Uni Irrepressible Law School Men Plan Take-Off On Junior Weekend Queen Coronation Fete By,Harry Belt At a School of Law student body general election Friday, the fol lowing professional law students were elected to the Law School Junior Weekend royal court for May 4: Frank Meldrum, queen; and Gene Brown and George Luo ma, princesses; John Winkler and Bill Bernard, flower girls. The elections were held despite great protest by the candidates, but Law School traditions hold that all nominations and elections carry an unwritten law of compul sory acceptance. One candidate, Jim Buell, managed to escape nomination by claiming an Act of God prevented his compliance with the honor. Buell’s intimate friends alleged, however, that he must have been up to some mischief. Bryan Goodenough, spokesman for the law school, described each of the candidates, their qualifica [ tions, and their reactions to elec- | tion. . Queen Frankie Queen Frankie I is a quiet, stu dious fellow who is said to possess queenly charm and poise, but his physical qualifications are doubt ful. The Queen exclaimed that his reign would have more than the usual pre-war type of Law School junior weekend serenity. A BA stooge was heard to refute this. Spokesman Goodenough came to the lawyer’s defense by saying the BA stooge came under sections 22-136 and 99-1021 of the Oregon Compiled Laws Annotated, 1940 edition, and therefore his utter ances were unqualified. Good enough further stated that the lawyers were entitled to their Jun for Weekend “fun” due to their limited participation in social ac tivity at all other times of the year. Princess Brown Princess Gene Brown, who first threatened assault and battery against the party who nominated him, sufficiently calmed down aft er his election to register his inner most reactions to the honor. Princess Brown’s qualifications were based primarily on his para troop activities during war years, according to George Rossman, who sometimes interprets some of Spokesman Goodenough’s more lo quacious statements. Immediately after the elections, Brown was primarily concerned with the dresses to be worn by the royal court. His gargantuan size makes it difficult to secure enough of the special material to be used for the purpose of covering him in keeping with good taste without running afoul of the latest OPA regulations.

Mr. Howard, who has recently returned from the famine area in Europe, is furnishing information for the drive. Millions in other lands are threatened with starva tion, he explained Friday, and the University can aid the nation’s effort by following this l-ule: Cut waste and eat less wheat products, fats and oils— substituting foods that are plentiful. Reduce the use of bread and other wheat foods by 40 percent; fats and oils by 20 percent. Figures released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture indicate that the curtailment of wheat pioducts ordered by the govern ment should save about 45 million bushels of grain by June 30, 1946. New methods by which grain new being used in the feeding of live stock and poultry would be con served for use as human food may increase this total.
