Oregon State, however, does have

Ubby Miller, president of Delta Gamma sorority, issued a state
ment prior to the USA nominating assembly Tuesday to the effect
that the petitioning of Kay Kuekenberg, a Delta Gamma member, for
a USA office was an independent action.
Miss Kuekenberg petitioned for senior representative on the USA
ticket, and was considered for that post by the nominating assembly.
