ted to the office of vice-president
at the Inter-Fraternity council
meeting Thursday night. Casper
will fill a vacancy created when
Ted Rubenstein, Sigma Alpha Mu,
moved up to president.
Casper was elected on the third
vote. The first vote was tied and
in the second vote, the margin of
victory was not a majority of the
total IFC membership, so a third
vote was necessary. The other
candidate was John Greulich, Phi
Delta Theta.
Ted Bouck of the athletic de
partment spoke to the IFC qn the
white shirt section for upperclass
men and on changes which have
been made. A special section at the
south end was planned for fresh
men, but Bouck said that only a
handful of freshmen sat in the
section and none wore rooter’s
lids.
Bouck warned that more checks
of athletic cards will be conducted
from time to time. Over 200 vio
lations were discovered at the

Funk Elected
ASUO Veep
Bob Funk, second year law stu
ent, was elected ASUO vice presi
dent by the senate Thursday in a
meeting marked by vocal and par
liamentary arguments.
Funk, who replaces Don Collin,
was one of three petitioners for the
office. Hollis Ransom, senior in
political science, and Ben Schmidt,
senior in speech, were the other
petitioners.
Kitty Fraser, senior in journal
ism, was elected senior class vice
president. Sally Stadelman, sopho
more in sociology, was elected
rally board chairman.
Battle Starts
It was with Miss Stadelman’s
selection that the senate battles
started. Paul Lasker, senior class
president and chairman of the
rally board committee, proposed
to make the yell king and rally
board chairman one and the same.
The proposal brought mixed
senatorial reactions. Two motions,
one to postpone the selection and
one to appoint an interim chair
man were defeated by the senate.
It was pointed out that the senate
has the power to change the rally
board if it sees fit.
The next argument occurred I
over the much-debated senate in
dorsement of student tax exemp
tion. Bob Summers, senator at
large, moved that the previous
vote, favoring the measure, be
rescinded and expunged from the
minutes. It was accepted.
Congress Watched
Jim Light, junior class president,
then proposed that he and Sum
mers, the tax investigating com
mittee, watch congressional action
on the matter. If congress is- con
sidering a bill which the ASUO
senate wishes to indorse, he and
Summers would then write to con
gress expressing the senate’s ap
Today Is Deadline
For 'King' Names
The names of all candidates for
King of Hearts must be turned in
to Sharon Isaminger at Delta
Gamma or Anne Hill at Sigma
Kappa by 5 p. m. today. All living
organizations may submit the
name of a candidate.

Babb.
prova] of the bill.
Objecting to the proposal was
Ben Schmidt, senior class repre
sentative. Schmidt maintained that
the senate had no right to lobby,
in the U.S. congress because Ore
gon is a tax supported institution -
and most of its students come from
the upper economic levels.
The senate went on record-as
opposing the change in the Stu
dent Union board perpetuation -
plan. The change would do away,
with the ASUO-SU joint screening
committee. The motion passed bj^
a large majority. *
The passage of the motion by
such a large majority, prompted^*?
Hollis Ransom, senator-at-large t»
say that he thought many propos
als were being ‘railroaded*
through the senate without proper
discussion. He pleaded with tbd
senate to think more carefully
before voting on issues in the
future.
The next argument occurred -**
when Summers presented a mo
tion to the senate to establish' a.
screening committee to interview
petitioners before they reach th*
senate.
According to Summer’s proposal;
the committee would work when.
there are more them five petition
ers for any one position. The com
mute would screen the applicant
to not less than two, and not more
than three, for appearance before
the senate.
Schmidt then moved that the
proposal be referred to a com
mittee composed of Summers aniV~
Dick Bruce, graduate senator. The
motion passed.
