Three Betty, Joe Finalists
Await Friday Election
By Marjory isush
Three more finalists for the
Betty Coed—Joe College contest
are in the spotlight today, with
the winners to be announced at
the Sophomore Whiskerino Friday
night.
To be introduced are Duncan
Liston, Phi Kappa Psi; Janice
Schneider, Carson Hall; and Bill
• Kirkpatrick, Phi Gamma Delta.
DUNCAN LISTON
“The Chico Charger—noisiest
man on the sleeping porch” is what
his fraternity brothers call him, but
actually, tall, dark Duncan Liston
Sign Chairman
Elections Called
House chairman for Homecom
ing signs should be selected by all
living organizations before this
Friday, announces Steve Church,
sign contest chairman.
Names should be given to Elbe
Johns at Delta Gamma, Barbara
Stevenson at Kappa Alpha Theta,
or Bob Anderson at Theta Chi by
4 p.m. Friday.
Winners of this year’s contest
will launch two newly-purchased
cups on their careers, one each in
men’s and women’s divisions,
Church said.
Judging will be based equally on
four points:
Originality, effort, adherence to
general theme (Oregon — Then,
Now, and Tomorrow), and impres
siveness. A $30 limit has been plac
ed on total cost of signs. Itemized
bills will be called for on Nov. 18,
the day of judging.
Judges, to be announced later,
will look at all signs for general
impressiveness, then return to
make final selections.
doesn t seem so fierce at all, and
the name has nothing to do with
cowboys.
The nickname originated from
the fact that Duncan or Dune hails
from Chico, Calif., where he was
one of the “Five-Iron-Men” on the
high school basketball team, run
ners-up in the Big Six League in
the Sacramento Valley. For two
years Dune, who played guard, was
on the All-Star team.
LIKES SPORTS
Sports interests cover high
school track, college intramural
football, and skiing “just for the
fun of it” mostly at Mt. Lassen.
“I spend most of my time now
trying to make my car run—it’s a
'29 Chevrolet, better known as
“Marvin the Green Machine.” At
last report Monday, it was in op
erating condition.
After graduating from high
school in 1947, Dune spent one year
at Chico State College before com
ing to Oregon. The only reason he
chose his northern neighbor, he
said, was because “the BA school
was highly recommended.”
JANICE SCHNEIDER
You name it and Janice Schnei
der can do it. From criminology
texts (psychology is her major) to
ukelele playing, from classical mu
sic to “Dixieland,” and from writ
ing realistic poetry to playing ten
nis, her talents and interests are
many and varied.
Black-haired, brown-eyed Jan
ice is an excellent example that
brains and beauty can all come to
gether. Her accumulative grade
point of 3.82 and pert good looks
attest to that. Janice, who meas
ures up to 5 foot 2 inches, can un
flinchingly confess to 110 pounds.

Lindstrom
Discusses
Dorm Costs
A report on high costs of dormi
tory living' by University Business
Manager J. Orville Lindstrom held
the attention of ASUO Executive
Council members for over half of
Monday night’s two-hour session.
Actioh or discussion also took
place on traditions, a unified cam
pus drive, a Faculty Follies simi
lar to the All-Campus Vodvil, pro
posed talent finding and recording
board, renewal of Thursday as
semblies and program-selling at
football games.
LINDSTROM EXPLAINS
Lindstrom attributed high room
and board bills in Oregon dorms to
the lack of state-provided funds.
The state does not furnish money
for student buildings such as dorm
itories or student unions, but only
for classroom and similar struc
tures.
The entire Carson Hall bond is
sue of $1,600,000 plus $1,100,000
interest in 30 years must be paid
by students living in all University
dormitories except the Vets’ dorms,
Lindstrom said.
Profits from Vets’ Dorm opera
tion are being withheld for neces
sary repairs, such as replacement
of the roof. A new men's dorm to
replace the Vets’ structures may
be built in the future, Lindstrom
stated. However, this cannot be
done unless the state or federal
government contributes at least 45
per cent of the funds.

of campus talent chairman were

Famed Soprano
To Give Concert
Kirsten Flagstad's rise to musi
cal fame has been rapid. In 14
years she has established herself
among the great sopranos of musi
cal history.
Madame Flagstad, who will ap
pear in McArthur Court Wednes
day night as the first artist on
this year's Eugene and University
Civic Music Association schedule,
made her debut in 1935 at New
York’s Metropolitan Opera.
In contrast to many artists of
the “child prodigy’’ class, Madame
Flagstad was entering middle age
at the time of her first appearance.
Since 1935, she has constantly
been associated with the music of
Richard Wagner and the operas
which comprise the “Wagnerian
Cycle.”
Her voice has been called the
“Dream Voice of All Time” and
“The Wonder Voice of the World”
by American music critics. Aud
ience reactions have been even
more favorable. Earlier this year
a Flagstad audience at La Scala,
Italy, was described as "hysterical”
after the singer’s appearance in a
Wagner opera.
Students attending the Wednes
day-night performance will be ad
mitted upon presentation of their
activity cards.
The Weather. . .
Fog which has besieged Eugene
during the “witching hours’’ from
dusk to dawn is due to move on
today, according to the local wea
ther bureau. The fog has lain over
Eugene due to the lack of wind to
disperse it.

New Sheriff Set
ToReplaceMike
PORTLAND -(UP)- Terry D.
Schrunk, 36-year-old Portland Fire
Department captain, Monday was
named by the Multnomah County
Commissioners to succeed Marion
L. (Mike) Elliott as sheriff of Ore
gon’s most populous county.
Elliott was recalled from office
Friday by county voters for falsi
fying military, educational and
personal data during his campaign,
for the office a year ago.
Schrunk received a B. A. degree
in economics from the University
of Oregon in 1942 through exten
sion work, although he wasn’t on
the Oregon campus. He also at
tended the University of Portland.
A married veteran, Schrunk saw
action in the navy during World
War II. He has two children.
The new sheriff, a Democrat,
will not take office until an offi
cial count has been made of th;
votes and Elliott has been notified
of the results. An unofficial tabula
tion showed Elliott's defeat was
over 14,000 votes.
Elliott said Monday he intended
to start a nightclub, five lawsuits,
and a crusading anti-vice force
composed of deputies who have re
signed or will resign from the
county police force.
