Wrightson Wins Nomination
J om \\ riffhtson won the Associated Greek Students nomi
nation for ASLO president in a runoff election Monday, after
taking a plurality lead in the first election Monday noon
V n£IUson P°,lle(J 626 votes, to 460 for Paul Lasker, the re
tlie lunch-hour primary, Wrii'htson had
■moo, j_a»Ker siu ana Jack Faust
had 333.
P'aust, speaking for himself and
Lasker, said he hopes that the stu
dents who supported him and
Lasker would work as hard to sup
port Wrightson. And, as president
of AGS, Faust dubbed Wrightson
a “fine candidate.” and expressed
the belief that Wrightson would
certainly win next Wednesday's
general election.
Graduate Students Run
Wrightson, a senior in business
administration, will run against
Don Collin, United Independent
Students candidate, also a senior,
in political science. It will be the
first time that the two major par
ties at Oregon put up candidates
who will be graduate students the
following year.
This is only the third year that
seniors have been eligible to run
for ASUO president. One graduate
student, AGS candidate Bill Carey,
served as student body president in
1951-52.
Lasker Re-petitions
Lasker has re-petitioned for sen
ior class president in today's class
office primary, under the AGS
thiee-day step-down system. Faust,
who is technically eligible to do
the same although this is his fourth
year at Oregon, has decided not to
re-petition, since this year's senior
class, not next year's is really his
class.
Write-in votes in the lunch-hour
election were Bob Lacy, 3, and
Waldo, 1. In the dinner run-off,
Faust, though eliminated, still got
6, Lacy dropped to 2, and Waldo
held steady with 1.

Modernized Classics
Bring Fame to Fina
Jack Fina, who will play for the
Junior Prom Friday night,-organ
ized his own band three years ago
after being the featured pianist
with Freddy Martin'sorchestra for
10 years.
It was Fina’s playing of a mod
ern interpretation of Tchaikow
sky’s “Piano Concerto in B Flat
Minor” as "Tonight We Love” that
made music history. The “Con
certo” recording sold two million
copies and is one of the five all
time top recordings.
Fina’s arrangements of the
classics have sold more than 10
million records throughout the
years. “Bumble Boogie,” Fina’s
version of Rimsky-Korsakoff’s
“The Flight of the Bumble Bee”
was judged the best boogie
woogie selection of 1946. His in
terpretations have won the per
sonal approval of such concert
pianists as Jose Iturbi, Artur Ru
binstein and Vladmir Horowitz.
Since leaving Marin, Fina has
played from coast to coast in thea
ters, hotels and night clubs. In
cluded in his show and dance pro
grams are such favorites as Gersh
win’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” “Kitten
on the Keys” and "Tico Tico.”

ate editor. He will take over next
fall and guide the Emerald through,
to the middle of winter term when,
a new editor will be chosen.
Brandness, presently advertising
manager is appointed for the full
year. The two-staffs-a-year policy
set up by the Pub board last year
does not affect the business side of
the paper.
In other action, the board ap_
proved a budget for the Emerald
based on the assumption that the
paper will continue to be published
as it is at present—four page pa
pers five times a week coming out
just before noon. It also accepted
bids on photographing and paper
for next year’s Oregana.
Inside on Econ
Given by Prof
What has to be sold in economic
education is intellectual honesty,.
Frank H. Knight, professor of eco
nomics at the University of Chi
cago, told a crowd of about 200 ■
in the Dad’s lounge of the Student
Union Monday evening.
Knight termed his hour-long
lecture “unorganized samples’’ of
his thoughts on the problems of a
free society. The short, gray-haired
speaker punctuated his talk with
personal anecdotes and quotations
that sent his audience off into fre
quent bursts of laughter.
"Why do we need to defend eco
nomics?’’asked Knight. Largely be— -
cause of the ambiguous attitude of
most people who either “look down .
their noses at economics or claim
it as a solution to all problems,’3
he explained.
The moral status of salesman
ship is either one of lies or one of
telling truth, remarked Knight. He
sees an interesting paradox in this
if truth has to be sold by fraud.
“If people started telling noth
ing but the truth,” Knight sug
gested, “society would be a sham
bles within half an hour.” Knight
believes that truth “cannot be wor
shipped monotheistlcally, because
no ethical principle can be carried
through by completely ignoring
other principles.”
Knight, continuing his survey of
free society, gave his audience a
new commandment, “don’t expect
too much.” Peace and prosperity,
said Knight, are not just around
the comer and are not attainable
