Snowbelle's Entry Flips Political Lid
SDX News Service
All leading ASUO election can
didates retired early last night in
anticipation of today’s balloting,
even though the belated entry of
Darkhorse in the Student Union
presidential race set' the campus
ablaze yesterday afternoon.
Stan Williamson has remained
in top shape since the close of
basketball season. No nightowl
he, sleep has been his long suit.
Recent developments, however,
have upset young Stanislaus. So
Guardian Don Mujlarkey early
last night placed the aspiring
male charger incommunicado,
far from the reaches of an inquir
ing press.

Salmon Not Floundering
The Salmon has taken the cam
paign in comparative calm. Several
times he branched with opponent
Howard Lemons. The two, in coali
tion, had mapped an effective cam
paign to neutralize supporters of
Anyface and had stalled the third
party movement in the SU presi
dential race.
Darkhorse Kntered
The entrance of Darkhorse into
the campaign, however, has caused
grave alarm, for Darkhorse has
never been defeated in any race. If
this four-legged runner can waltz
off with the prized SU presidential
package, a severe blow may be
dealt to the traditional two-party
system.
Sources close to the millrace re
veal that late yesterday afternoon
Williamson phoned his hoop buddy
in Corn Valley—bounding Lew
Beck.
"What can I do with Darkhorse,”
Stan queried.
Beck Stymied
Beck, though pastured on a cam
pus which knows much about hors
es, was stymied. First he suggested
a Slats Gill weave; then he volun
teered to enter Darkhorse in the
Pendleton Roundup (Pendleton is
Beck’s home.) Finally he gave. up.
"You’ve got me licked on that one,
Stan,” Lou concluded.
It is believed that Williamson did
develop some plan. He was notice
ably calm after dinner. This morn

Sweeping Changes
Made by Newburn
Harry K. Newburn, president of
j the University of Oregon, an
■ nounced Monday the appointment
i of I. S. Broome and Otto Moppe
! to janitorial positions on the cam
| pus. The appointments were con
firmed by the state board of high
| er education in a sweeping unan
I imous vote.
i Broome, former assistant jan
itor in the school of education at
Iowa, will assume his duties in
Fenton hall at the beginning of
fall term. Moppe, for 16 years
head janitor at Iowa, has accepted
a similar position at the -Univer
j sity.

ticketed No. 1 tor the position by
! the Affiliated'-Independents, new
I campus political party that emerg
' ed three weeks ago from the Elev
enth street excavation.
But a barn door was left open
someplace. And at noon yesterday
Snowbelle, Affiliated-Independent
party boss, barked that Darkhorse
would head the ticket. Anyface
had agreed to run for bannister
polisher, Snowbelle said.
ASA and ISA leao^rs were re
ported to have trembled upon
learning that Darkhorse had ent
ered the SU presidential race. Al
phabet captains feared that the
SU race, with Darkhorse and Any
face on the same card, would steal
the spotlight from today’s ASUO
elections.
A source, close to both ISA
1 and ASA tool sheds intimated
I that a strong movement was un
derway to run two coalition can
| didates in opposition to the Af
filiated - Independent combina
tion.
When informed of this possible
ISA-ASA action, Snowbelle
! growled, "We’re not piddling with
| their elections. I don’t see why
| they should piddle with ours.”
| Snowbelle announced also that
Darkhorse’s platform included
I many planks not concerned strict
ly with the Student Union. "For
! example," Snowbelle said, “Dark
lrorse promises to do his utmost
to fill the millrace. He also pledg
es to plump for making the execu
tive council more the voice of the
students, in spite of the fact that
the students usually are hoarse.”
Political Forces Gather
There will be a meeting of the

Neither ISA or ASA had an
nounced its candidates at the
