A. (Tom) Swarts Thursday in a statement to the Emerald. Fogdall received more than 40 write-in votes for sheriff as the result of a short rigorous cam paign on the part of a senior speech student and a junior archi tecture student. (They requested their names be withheld.) The campaigners were backed up by some 20 paying members of tlfe “committee.” House Support The results of their efforts were entire living organizations report edly voting en masse for their fa vored candidate. It all started, the committee chairman said yesterday as a re sult of the patrolling of the cam pus Halloween night by Fogdall and the city police. The committee chairman got the idea Monday that Fogdall would be the logical opponent to incum bent C. A. Swarts who at the time was unopposed. Their attempts to advertise their candidate in the Emerald was refused, so they had 1000 campaign handbills printed in a Eugene shop. The leaflets read, “The Lane County Student’s Committee en dorses Vergil Fogdall as a write-in candidate for Lane county sheriff.” Pass Bills Out Two students then energetically set to work tacking the bills to posts, “distributing them to living organizations, and circulating them in local restaurants and tav erns. The idea caught like wildfire. The handbills quickly circulated throughout the campus, and this, plus word of mouth, soon set the campus into gear to go to the polls Tuesday and write in the name of their “favorite son.” It was all news to Fogdall when he first discovered it. “The first I heard of it,” he said, “was just af ter I had returned from the sher iff’s office where I had been con tacting him about the release of a University student from the coun ty jail.” Little Support The voting for Fogdall, despite the work of loyal committee mem bers, fell short of the required ma jority. “I’d be happy to fconcede the election,” he said, “it's all his baby.” “I’ve enjoyed parts of it,” Fog dall said about his campaign and defeat at the polls. “College stu (Please turn to page 7) jHigh School Press Conference Draws Record Delegation W endell \\ ehh, managing; editor of The Oregon Statesman, Salem daily will he the featured speaker at the opening convo caion of the 22nd annual Oregon High School Press Conference this morning at 10. lie will speak on "Making Good in Jour nalism.” I resident flatly II.
