Mortar Board Selects
'Least Man' Finalists
Spending a nice quiet afternoon relaxing from the vigors of life as finalists for Least Man on Campus
are Al Harder, Ed Tyler, Ron Sigler and in back row Dton Lewis. Bob Hughes and Champ Husted were
unavoidably detained at Maxie’s when the picture was snapped.
By Ann Ritchey
Emerald Reporter
Six men have finally been se
lected as the worst representatives
of Oregon's student body. The
“loser” of the Least Man on Cam
pus contest will be announced at
the Mortar Board ball, Saturday
night. A list of the "candidates”
and their disqualifications are as
follows:
Bob Hughes
Bob Hughes, the candidate of
Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Gam
ma Delta, lists as one of his proud
est accomplishments the fact that
he can write IOU’s at Piluso’s.
Among his other outstanding
abilities, Bob lists his ability to
make his grades every third term,
cut classes 10 times a week and
describe the interior of Hay
Hawk’s office in detail.
Bob is a sophomore in business
from Portland, and one of the
brightest moments of his day is
when the Emeralds come out at
noon, just as he gets up.
Ron Sigler
A senior in business from Park
dale is Ron Sigler, who is “a
complete success in life.” He has
never failed, because he “has nev
er done anything.”
Sponsored in the contest by Sig
ma Chi and Pi Beta Phi, Ron lists
as his spare-time hobbies attend
ing picnics and picking up beer
bottles in the Fiji parking lot. His
only student activity is appearing
befoi’e traffic court.
Ron took piano lessons for five
years, as a result of which he can
now play “Country Gardens.” He
was “caught with his first pony
at the age of six,” and is always
available, when he can’t be found
elsewhere, at Maxie's.
Ed Tyler
Sigma Phi Epsilon’s candidate,
Ed Tyler, is most noted for the
fact that it took him 4 years to
pass the 2-year ROTC course.
Ed sleeps in a private room un
der the back porch of his house,
and always gets up at noon be
cause the whistle wakes him. His
athletic prowess is proved by the
fact that he is a 4-year letterman
in davenport polo.
Ed, a senior in history from
Portland, buys all his clothes at
rummage sales, and has 5 o’clock
shadow 25 hours a day. He paid
off, singlehanded, the Paddock’s
mortgage, and is now working on
Maxy’s.
A1 Harder
An “awfully busy” candidate,
A1 Harder, spends most of his
time at the Oasis and Taylor’s.
The candidate of Kappa Sigma, A1
is a senior in history and is from
Garden Grove, Calif.
"I have remarkable self - con
trol,” A1 boasted. “I never drink
anything stronger than gin before
lunch.” Maxy’s is this busy sen
ior’s “base of operations,” and he
spends 4 to 5 hours there daily.
A1 plays the guitar, and proudly
states that he hasn’t been in jail
for several years. He is also proud
of the fact that he always gets up
early in the afternoon.
Champ Husted
“I miss quite a few classes be
cause I sleep all morning,” com
plained Champ Husted, a senior in
liberal arts from Cottage Grove.
The industrious candidate of Pi
Kappa Alpha and Alpha Xi Delta
maintains that he is too busy go
ing to college to get an education.
By "going to college,” he explained
that he meant sleeping.
Champ has "no activities to
speak of,” but does like to bowl
and go fishing. He never catches
any fish, but enjoys the accom-s
panying activities.
Don Lewis
Don Lewis, the only freshman in
the contest, is the candidate of
Stitzer and Hendricks halls and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Very sports
j minded, Don loves to attend pic
nics.
He also has a spirit for collect
ing, and has a complete file of old
"D” tests. He usually gets up at
10 p.m. for his class, but often
misses it.
"I was put up,” modestly states
the liberal arts major from Bonne
ville, ‘because I haven't done any
thing all year.”
Last year's winner of the Least
Man contest was Mel Erickson, a
member of Alpha Tau Omega.
