'Shells' Topic of Talk Miss Ruth Coats of Tillamook j will speak on the topic “Shells” at j the meeting of the Natural His tory society at 8 p. m. Friday in 101 Condon. j ASA Platform (Continued from pane one) liamson said, “It is our duty as the present students to initiate the driving force and to sustain its mo mentum until its doors finally open to the Oregon students.” He advocated a further develop ment of the Oregon Federation to attract more outstanding young men and women to the University. “For too long we have surren dered excellent students and ath letes to out-of-state schools. I am certain that many of these would be here now if a more concerted ef fort were expended,” he declared. Williamson added that this would be the only method of raising the University from the ranks of the mediocre. His plan for the organization of drives was to establish one grand drive patterned on the basis of the community chest, which would in clude all but the March of Dimes and the Red Cross. Under this sys tem individual funds would receive their proportion as determined by a board established by the executive council. In reference to the Millrace, which he termed the predominate element of Oregon, Williamson said, “If I can, in any way, exert influence along the lines of restor ing it to its rightful place, I shall do so. He announced his policy on ap pointments would be to award them them according to merit. "The caliber of students ap pointed reflect on the ASUO pres ident. To grant them on anything but merit would greatly hinder him and would be detrimental to the best interests of the student body,” he said. In nominating Williamson, Wil bur Craig pointed out that he was well-known throughout the North west and Oregon as an outstanding player in Northern Division bas ketball. Other qualifications cited by Craig included service as a lieu tenant in the marine corps, secre tary of the sophomore class, and a, new member of Friars, senior men’s honorary. Bobbie Fullmer, who was nom inated for the number two position by Hazel Trollinger, was prevented by illness from giving her accept ance speech. Activities of Miss Fullmer that were cited by Miss Trollinger in cluded members of Kwama, Gamma Alpha Chi, the Co-op board, Mortar Board, and president of the junior women’s honorary, Phi Theta Up silon. She also pointed out that Miss Fullmer had served as secretary of the junior class. “She has handled many jobs and has done well in all of these,” Miss Trollinger said. __. Election day is Tuesday.
