The group, which was formed to 'pick a representative slate of of ficers" to run in the Jan. 28 fresh man elections, chose their slate Tuesday evening after screening 11 prospects for the positions. The "council” is a self-appointed group which claims members from most freshman living units. The group, according to Feliz, was started in the co-ops, where it is the strongest, but now has mem bers from men and women's dorms and off-campus students. Representatives of the “council” are not elected or appointed. The group accepts any interested par ties. Phyllis Pearson, president of * Carson 5, told the Emerald Wed nesday evening, that she withdrew from the group after attending some of the meetings because the whole thing was “awfully confused and not very organized”. She said that the council seemed illegal since political parties were to stay out of the election. The Emerald learned Wednesday that the council divided the fresh man living units—Vet’s dorms, co ops, Carson hall and Hendricks— and each was to receive one candi date. The slate they selected was divided in this manner. If the slate is elected next Fri day, they will have no obligations to the “council", Feliz said. But other members of the group said that it would serve as an advisor to the officers in matters which concerned the freshmen. Helen Jackson Frye, ASUO vice president, has stated that the council could give its backing to any candidate and it would be “all right”. Pat Dignan, ASUO presi (Please turn to page free) Schools Set April Dates Andy Berwick, ASUO intertain ment chairman, met with represen tatives from Oregon State college last week concerning exchange as semblies between the two schools.

Although the Willamette is fall ing upstream, the river still is above the flood level at a number of points from Corvallis north. The effect of the flood is still being felt even farther upstream. In thd Eugene area 100 Pope and Talbot woods workers were! unable to get to their jobs because of a bridge washout. About 600 workers were laid off by the Hines Lumber company at Oakridge while flood-broken log booms were repaired. Roads to the outside in the Southwest part of the state are still blocked from the floods and washouts of last weekend's storm. Coast highway traffic will not be restored for 10 days to two weeks. Split Ballot Reversal Expected By Dignan ASUO President Pat Dignan said Wednesday that the ASUO senate will probably rescind the split ballot measure tonight. The student-faculty constitution al committee declared it uncon stitutional Tuesday in an “opin ion” requested by the senate. It also knocked the practice of de signating the office after a candi date’s name on the ballot. ■ "My personal opinion is that we shouldn’t go ahead with it,” Dig nan said. He acknowledged how ever that there is nothing on the books to force the senate to kill the measure. Alphabetical Order If the measure is thrown out, all candidates for freshman class of fice will probably appear on one ballot in alphabetical order and without any designation as to of fice. Dignan expressed displeasure at this probable result, pointing out that the net result would be “that everybody is running for presi dent.” “We're going to have to change that part of the constitution which specifically applies to class elec tion," he said, admitting that such a change would necessitate a con stitutional amendment and a vote by the student body. Xo Chance He doesn’t think there is any possibility of doing it before the spring term ASUO elections. Other business for the senate to consider tonight will include Dignan's report of fall term ASUO expenses and proposed winter term budget and reports by the senate insurance program committee and constitutional revision committee. The Pacific area student confer ence in Hawaii, for which the ASUO president has so far been unable to find any delegates, will also be discussed. 2000 OSC Seats Available for UO At Waring Show University of Oregon student ; will bo admitted to a special sec tion in Gill coliseum Feb. 2 at 3. p.m. when Fred Waring and h; i Pennsylvanians appear or. the Ore gon State campus.
