'The Girl' Actors
TWO ACTORS who have already appeared twice together in the Uni
versity Theater will portray, leading roles in the Belasco and Fyles
melodrama, “The Girl I Left Behand Me,” opening Friday night in
the 1 heater. Paul Wexler (left) and Terrence Roseen enacted parts
in “Winterset” and the Experimental Theater production two weeks
" aS°- As General Kennion in “The Girl”. Wexler plays the role of the
commanding officer of a military post in Indian-harassed Montana in
the 1890 s. His daughter, Kate, is in love with one of the General’s
soldiers. Terrence Roseen enacts the role of the Fort’s second in com
mand, Major Burleigh, who commands the cavalry troop which fights
off the invading band of Indians. Wexler was last seen as Hercules in
“The Warrior’s Husband.” Previous to that he portrayed Esdras in
“Winterset,” which opened the 1949-50 season. Roseen also appeared
in “Winterset,” playing the part of the gangster Trock. Both actors
played together in Chekov’s “Swan Song” at the Theater Excitement
No. 2.
Election Review: Withdrawals
Mark Riotous Campaigning
(Continued from page one)
swept the Greek houses that Herb
Nill, contender for the AGS nom
ination, was going to bolt the
Greek Bloc and run as an inde
pendent, non-partisan.
Following a day of comparative
calm, the campaign resumed Wed
nesday afternoon with vigor as the
nomination assembly was held in
McArthur Court. Herb Nill gave
truth to the rumors and presented
himself as a candidate. The USAs
resumed with vigor their attack on
the AGS political atmosphere and
the AGS defended itself against
the charges.
Campaigning blossomed in full
force Thursday when the campus
became a myriad of TNE signs,
placards, etc., as the AGS launched
a full scale attack to discredit
Johnson’s charges.
Campaign Splits
The campaign now developed in
to a three-way fight to gain fol
lowers from two groups which
were known to be split, without
antagonizing either one of the
groups. The USA waged a battle
to gather all Independent votes,
the AGS attempted to hold onto
the Greek vote and Herb Nill
sought to benefit from dissatisfac
tion in both groups.
TNE became the focal point of
the whole fight and all three
groups eagerly sought to remove
the blackening taint from its side.
Early-morning risers in houses
grew used to the torrent of circu
lars and handbills which greeted
them in yellow, pink, blue and
white.
Climax Beached
Thursday afternoon might be
called the climax. The AGS politi
cal rally and parade, which circled ,
the campus with enthusiasm, led
into a street dance that evening on
Alder. The atmosphere of the even
ing was heightened with a spon
taneous demonstration against po
lice and firemen, attempting to
break up the dance blocking the
street.
Friday’s Emerald revealed the
existence of the now well known
^list” of TNE members on campus.
President Art Johnson, who had
posession of the list, presented it
to the administration and issued a
statement declaring: “TNE does
exist on campus and the present
effort to treat it as a joke is the
lowest possible blow at good gov
ernment.”
Campaign Slows
Active campaigning slowed to a
crawl as the sides attempted to get
order out of the mess and the ad
ministration tried to find out just
what was going on in the back
ground. At the insistance of the
Interfraternity Council, meeting
Friday morning, the TNE cam
paign was dropped by the Greeks.
The AGS party, now well-riddled
with the TNE taint, left the cam
paigning to Mountain and Nill.
Yesterday morning, election day,
the Emerald hastily brought the
ready-to-vote students up to date,
revealing that three AGS candi
dates had been withdrawn from
the race, including Gerry Smith
ASUO No. 1. The AGS statement
read in part: Since all these candi
dates have been subject to charges
and counter - charges regarding
membership in Theta Nu Epsilon,
(it is not) fair to them or their
party to continue them in this elec
tion.
And so the election came to pass,
with the political tension still
great. Greeks still were split, the
USA has been augmented with two
additional Greek houses and were
led in their campaign by a Greek.
At least one fraternity house will
take some time to heal the wounds
caused by a split in the political
loyalties of its membership.
And the TNE problem, settled
in the opinion of the administra
tion, will carry on as a bitter re
minder of the 1950 elections.

(Continued from page one)
After about 15 minutes of that
Mountain went out into the lawn
of the ATO house to meet his pub
lic—some 500 persons—USA sup
porters and a few AGS.
He received congratulatory
handshakes from a great portion
of the 500. He held up under it
well.
About 9:45 USA—ATO Barry
Mountain and some of the boys ex
cused themselves saying they were
going to the Side.
And that was the last the Em
erald saw of the University’s new
student body president.
Today Mountain and the new
ASUO first vice president, Herb
Nill, will leave for Yosemite
National Park in California where
they will attend the three-day con
ference of the Pacific Student
Body Presidents’ Association—an
annual affair for incoming and out
going student body presidents.

25 TNE Members
(Continued from page one)
were prepared to “go all the way"
in dealing' with the students in
volved, including expulsion, a light
er penalty was evoked-because of
the “complete cooperation’’ of all
members in disbanding the group
and because the school had tangi
ble evidence” of the members' good
faith.
The probation penalty—imposed
on all those involved--prohibits
students from holding elective or
appointive student offices. Students
now holding such ofices will be giv
en a specified time in which to re
sign. However, there “might be cir
cumstances under which students
would get waivers,” DuSliane said.
The probation conditions will
“vary from individual to individ
ual,” said DuSliane. There is no
blanket penalty.
“It is likely that involved stu
dents will be permitted to hold fra
ternity offices,” DuShane contin
ued. He feels these students will be
“valuable persons to their fraterni
ties and to the administration” if
permitted to keep fraternity offi
ces.
Penalty Almost Maximum
The probation penalty is the
maximum possible penalty the ad
ministration can impose, short of
actual suspension.
“I want to make it crystal clear,”
DuShane said, ‘‘that the University
regards membership in TNE or any
other secret and illegal society as a
serious offense. If at any time in
the future we find evidence of the
existence of such a chapter we are
prepared to move vigorously and
nonconditionally against the of
fenders. The penalty will be imme
diate dismissal from the Univer
sity.”
Members took an oath not to join
TNE or any other secret illegal so
ciety and pledged themselves to ex
ert efforts “in every possible man
ner to prevent the development of
such activities on this campus at
any time in the future.” If members
disregard this oath and resume
TNE activities they will be immedi
ately expelled from the University.
The University is not interested
in “punitive action for punishment,
but in constructive action to end
TNE,” DuShane said.
ASUO President Art Johnson
had no comment on the action
taken by the University.
To prevent the reoccurrence of
TNE on the campus, the adminis
tration and Office of Student Af
fairs intends to make periodic in
vestigations, probably every two
years, according to Lyle M. Nelson,
director of information.

Don Smith and Virginia Wright,
were elected to the senior and jun
ior representative spots on an un
opposed ballot.
Herb Cook, with 9S1 votes, and
Don Paillette, with S75 tallies, were
named sophomore representatives
to the ASUO executive council,
winning over Don Collin, non-parti
isan candidate, who polled 267.
Jerry Kinnersley was elected stu
dent body yell king, while Co-op
Board positions fell to Kay Kuclo
enburg and Bill Marshall, juniors,
and Merle Davis, sophomore.
Mountain Statement:
Mountain said in an interview
last night that “I believe student
government can go a long way at
Oregon.”
He commented that the first
item on his list of things to do as
new student body president is to
reorganized the spirit of the Uni
versity of Oregon—starting with a.
strong rally squad. He wants a ral
ly squad that the University can
be proud of—one that will be
known all over the state and na
tion.
“To work together is the im
portant thing,” the new ASUO
president said. “We'll be successful
only as long as we have the cooper
ation of all groups—Greek and In
dependents.
“All groups and all parties must,
work together to clarify the 'Du
Shane Plan’ and deferred living,
and they must work together on all
phases of University life.
“I’d like to express my appreci
ation of the confidence the stu
dents have shown.”
Regarding the secret Greek-let
ter fraternity, Theta Nu Epsilon
(TNE), Mountain said, "I hope
everyone will let bygones be by
gones. We’re starting with a clean
slate now.”
A movie cashier in an Ohio town
carries receipts to the bank in an
ice cream carton. No, they are
not frozen assets.
It’s nice to believe that you’re
only as old as you feel—unless you
feel old.
