Sally Mueller, who was chosen “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi”, this week strikes a time-honored pose for the Emerald photographer,. * * * * * * SX Sweethearts Selected By Secret Ballot Method Coeds Invited to Fraternity House; Five Finalists Compete for Award By BOB WHITELY A lot of people want to know just how the Sigma Chis pick Jtheir sweetie to reign as their personal campus queen for the school year. Do they invite all the freshman girls to a party? Do they line up all the girls in a mammoth chow line style of con test, and parade ’em by? Brothers Together 'After Wartime Break Room D-5, vets’ dorm, has an interesting sign on the door. It says Peter R., William D., John C.—SHERMAN. It’s no accident of registration; Bill signed himself and his broth ers up for the same room last spring. It’s their first time in school together since Claremont, California, high school days. During the war Pete was in the air corps, Bill was a medic with the marine corps, and Jack had duty as a navy quartermaster. They’re making up for all that separation, though. They live together, have some classes to gether, and play in the band to gether. They all like math (Pete is a student instructor) and see eye to eye on almost everything else. When asked if they went pigging together Bill said, “Oh, Peter and Jack are the piggers in this room.” Pete and Jack made no comment. That’s brothers for you. Narrowed to Five We got the low down on the cov eted award today, and it seems that two freshman girls are picked out of each living organization, 44 co eds in all—and then the judging be gins. The girls are invited to the Sigma Chi house for a look-see, and then by preferential voting, the field is pruned to five. After these lucky five have been notified of their selection, they are invited to a mammoth dinner and dance where they can really get acquainted with the actives. Two days after this event, the Sigma Chis take a secret ballot, and the ballots are placed in a giant en velope upon which, before witnesses, the fraternity seal is embossed on the wax. This envelope is not touched until the night of the broad cast.

Williams Lists Appropriation Of ASUO Funds Nominees for Frosh ISA Election Revealed Distribution of the educational activities fund was outlined Thurs day evening by Dick Williams, edu cational activities manager, at an ISA freshman rally, in the outside gym of Gerlinger hall. Williams explained that $17,000 surplus would be left from the $80, 000 fund for this year and that a recommendation would be made to the activities board that $10,000 of this surplus be set aside for furnish ings for the ASUO offices in the student union building. Aid may also be contributed to the newly organ ized audio-visual department, Wil liams said. Student Union Outlook He further expressed the belief that the University would see a student union within three or four years if the present high enrollment continues. Howard Lemons, president of the ISA, conducted nominations for freshman representative to the ISA senate. Those nominated were: Bob Lewis, Dick Neeley, Donna Gerke, and Mary Jane Waggoner. Fresh men will vote Thursday on these candidates. The location of the poll ing booth will be announced in the Emerald. Voting System Ted Hallock, ISA member, whose band played several numbers dur ing the evening, explained the pref erential ballot system and said that the system was now being consid ered by the executive council of which he is a member. Trudl Chernic, ISA executive council member and member of Kwama, discussed independent par ticipation in activities. Suds Cheney acted as master of ceremonies for the hour program. Hospital Issues Bid For Nurse’s Aids i An urgent call has been sent out for Red Cross nurses’ aids by the Sacred Heart hospital. All University women who have completed their nurse’s aid training, and desiring to help in the emergen cy, are requested to contact Mrs. E. E. Foss, telephone 2945.

Play enthusiasts were somewhat disappointed, however, by the jerkiness of the lines and the inability of the cast to take their cues. Denoting a triangle of drama appeal were Marilyn Wherry as mnza uoonme, jonn jensen as Professor Henry Higgins and the typical English, heart-warming, show-stealing character Mr. Doo little, portrayed by Bill Wood. Wherry Cast Well Miss Wherry was at ease from her first appearance on the stage as a “Dragon tailed gutter snipe’’ to her transformation as a bewitch ing enticing lady. Her British ac cent was so perfected that one might think she was straight from the fog-lined streets of London. Jeanette Grant, who was the hu morous and exacting Mrs. Pearce, deserves a note of mention for the unique way she lived the part of an old English housekeeper. Mrs. Eynsford-Hill, Zelda Popick, and her daughter, Clara, Hazel Trollin ger, were nerve racking and charm ing which is a good sign that they played their parts well and had a definite effect on the audience. Doomed for Success The play has good possibilities. Miss Wherry adds just enough glamour to fix the glitter of a stage play and Jensen can be credited with saving the play from a dismal fate. Considering the stage and the small amount of space the cast has to work with, a great deal of notice should be given to the marvelous stage sets which were a great as set to the play. “Pygmalion” may be doomed for success yet. Rule Sketch Given For Campus Sing A suggestion of the regulations for the All Campus Sing, traditional Junior Weekend musical competi tiontion among organizations, was given yesterday by Educational Ac tivities Manager Dick Williams. Specific rules will be issued during winter term. Probable rules will be: 1. Definite eliminations will bo held in the school of music in April. This is felt necessary because the great number of organizations makes it impossible to hear all en trants in one evening. 2. A set number of finalists, about ten women’s organizations and ten men’s organizations, will appear Friday, May 9, at McArthur court. 3. No sorority or fraternity songs will be allowed. 4. There must be at least 16 id the group; there is no maximum, 5. The type of song sung will def# nitely be considered in judging. j -- ,| Welcome Them Home! 1 There will be a rally at the Eu- | gene depot at 11:50 a.m. Sunday 1 to welcome home the football j team from Idaho, according to j Bob Heestand, member of the . rally squad publicity committee, •
