Gordon Porter—freshman in lib eral arts—“Sounds like a good idea. I haven't read anything about It.” Bob Kennedy—freshman in busi ness -*'I think it would be a good idea. It seems that you would get better officers.” Susan Drummond — sophomore in liberal arts-"I think it would be a good idea. Very good experi ence for the students. I'm not too ‘up' on this.” Jim Allen -junior in PE—"It's the all-time high." Jack Bonner -junior in sociol ogy—“I think the old system is by far the better." Vk-tor Nakliar — graduate in economcis—“I like it better, since it will stimulate student interest." Marilyn Bistline — freshman in home economics—“I like this one better; it's more interesting. Stu dents will take more part in it and there will be more enthusiasm.” Frelda Dodd* junior in sociol ogy—"I think you wouldn't get a very good rseponse from the stu dents, because Oregon is notorious for not having much school spirit for such things. I don't think it's a good idea; it will make a lot of needless work for those concern ed." Lucille Wright—senior in jour nalism—“I think it's an excelent idea. Perhaps it would interest the students in learning about their American government, with na tional conventions to be held this summer.” WELCOME, DAD! Tasty and Inexpensive J.
