Don't Waste Votes
"Vote number one for your fa
vorite senator-at-large candi
date so he’ll be sure and get It”
— so the campaign literature
reads.
But this is not correct — if a
number one vote is gl\en to a
senator-at-large candidate, it is
completely useless in the elect
ing of ASl'O president. And it
doesn't help the senator get
elected!
The same holds true In the
class-officer races. A number
one vote ghen to anyone but a
presidential candidate is useless,
since in counting the ballots a
number two Vote is just as ef
fective in electing the senators
and representatives.

adviser.
In regular competitive matches,

However, as a separate group,
the AFROTC squad has six more
“postal” meets with other AF

team conducts a regular match
by itself, and then mails the re
sults to the other school, Perry
said.
Oregon has participated in 60 of
these so far, and has a better than
75 per cent winning mark. Other
matches are scheduled with Wash
ington State college. College of

Greek Letters
Lecture Topic
The technique of studying Greek
inscriptions will be examined and
explained at tonight's browsing
room lecture at 7:30.
Benjamin Dean Meritt, profes
sor of classics at the Institute for
Advanced Study, Princeton, N. J.,
will speak on ‘‘New Sources for
Ancient History.” He will illus
trate the lecture with colored
slides. David M. Dougherty, head
of the University foreign language
department will lead the discus
sion after the lecture.
Before showing the slides of
Greek and other ancient inscrip
tions, Meritt will explain the
methods used in studying and re
surrecting such inscriptions. Ac
cording to Meritt, the Greeks in
scribed all their important events
on stone, providing almost a com
plete history of their civilization
for today's scholars.
The colored slides shown by
Meritt will illustrate well-known
events in ancient history, and il
lustrate the technique of putting
the inscriptions together to form
a complete story. An example of
such an inscription is the Treaty
between Athens and Carthage in
scribed on stone in 407 B C.
One of his slides has never be
fore been seen by an audience. It
shows a stone with two languages
inscribed on it and has just been
discovered within the last month.
The inscription is in early Athen
ian Greek and Carian, an early
Asia minor language.
Meritt and his w-ife have been
on campus since Tuesday. This is
their first trip west and Meritt
lias combined sight seeing with a
lecture tour of the Pacific coast,
including British Columbia.

come west and see this beautiful
country,” Meritt said. "I like to
talk to people and I am really en
joying the tour.”
