Funk, Isaak
Oregana's
New Heads
Robert Funk and Charles Isaak
were named to the top positions of
thfl|p.er»2 Oregana Thursday night
by .the Student Publications Board.
The board recommended Robert
Ford as editor of the Ore-Nter,
orientation booklet for University
freshmen. His recommendation will
go to the fcxecutive Council and
Office of Student Affairs.
Funk, a junior in English, re
ceived the editorship of the Uni
versity’s yearbook. Isaak, junior
in business administration, is the
new business manager.
They succeed Ruth Landry, edi
tor, and Robert Schooling, business
manager, of the 1951 Oregana.
The new editor was associate
editor in charge of copy of this
year's book. He is an Emerald
^columnist and assistant managing
editor for the daily.
Isaak was Oregana sales man
ager this year. He has worked on
the yearbook since last fall.
Ford, freshman in pre-journal

ald.
of 14 sites throughout the state
selected as an examination center.
To be eligible for the test an
applicant must be a full-time stu
dent working toward a degree.
J. S. Carlson, director of the
University counseling center who
will administer the Selective Ser
vice test here pointed out Thurs
day that students accepted for. or
now in, the advanced program of
the Reserve Officer Training Corps
and veterans need not apply for
the tests.
Recent legislative action in Uje
House of Representatives in which
the legislators voted against defer
ring students on test scores, will
not prevent the. administration of
the tests. However, it appears that
the test results will play a lesser
role in draft board considerations
than was originally planned.
Alpha Xi's State
Political Policy
Alpha Xi Delta sorority issued
a statement Thursday to clarify
its position regarding its political
affiliation. Its members voted
Monday night to notify the Unit
ed Students Association that it
was reconsidering its political posi
tion on the campus. The house has
been a member of the USA party
since its formation in 1048.
The statement said that "our
action of Monday has been taken
to mean that we arc petitioning
Associated Greek Students for
membership. We wish to make it
clear that such was not our in
tent.”
They pointed out that their
notion on Monday was only a noti
fication to the USA; a final vote
will be taken in two weeks.
