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.

versity students and campus living
organizations which can aid in the
drive, he said. “This nation-wide
campaign is more than an eco
nomic necessity,” he stated.
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.
