One of Many? 'Dog'Seeks Queen Post By DAVK JORDAN Kmerald Associate Kdftor Campus nirl watchers who per «*nially slam University Home coming Queen candidates as a hunch of "dogs” may have more tangible evidence than usual for their lamentations this year. The main reason is the en trance of a dainty young lady by the dainty name of "Horse" as a write-in candidate for tomorrow’s queen election. Miss Horse (or Just plain Horse, as her friends call her) is strangely enough, a member of a fraternity—Phi Kappa Psi And her fellow Phi Psi's have decided to support her for the homecom ing election. HO Sophomore Horse, a pert young St. Ber nard who stands about waist high to most people and weighs about as much as a football tackle, would probably qualify as a soph omore in University standing “MISS HORSE,” write-in candidate. She was horn in the summer of 19M3 ,and was purchased short Letters to the Editor (Continued from pti'ir ?) car transport business, there must be many used auto trans port trailers available at nom inal costs. The truck drivers could spend the middle of the day hauling logs, so that labor costs can be held to a minimum. Of course, it would be more economical for the students and staff to drive directly to the out lying area and then ride a shut tle bus to campus. However, Americans will not submit themselves to public transpor tation If they will allow their cars to ride on public transpor tation, we will have solved a problem which threatens to par alyze our nation.

McClure, Dept, of Physics, • • • Elder Defends Emerald Editor: An Oregon Daily Emerald story dated 7 October, 1964 quotes Keith I) Skelton, a one time State Representative, as saying that “Ed Elder and Mon te Montgomery are afraid to de fend their records." He is, as usual, inconsistent in this charge and is, in fact, engaging in the mud slinging he seemingly de plores. It had been understood that the original discussion had been scheduled to cover national is sues Any casual observer of the local political scene would agree that I do not have a record to defend on national issues. I have not been a member of the U. S. House of Representatives, the U. S. Senate or the Presi dent’s Cabinet. I am an elected State Repre sentative and have been in that office for nearly four years. My record is exposed for all to see It is consistent and people who vote for me are aware of my stand on various issues while serving in local and state gov ernment. Voters who follow the state i ments of Mr. Skelton from elec tive office to the lobby, back to the public payroll and just now in a final attempt at elective of fice surely must be dazzled by the many facings of such a po litical wanderer. Ed Elder, Candidate House of Representatives 13th District • • * Wilson Fans Emerald Editor: Interest in the 1964 campaign is focused on the Presidential race, but there is a local legis 1 alive race that will determine which party will organize the next Oregon State Legislature, i We would like to welcome any other Oregon students to join us in our support of the Repub lican candidate in this race.

Already she has risen to the post of "assistant hostess” for Phi Psi functions, and later she won three house awards. Awards Listed Phi Psi officials said Tuesday that she won the Senior Cup, for sitting in the senior chair and not getting caught; the Junior Tro phy, for making the most noise on the sleeping porch and not being thrown out; and the Sophomore T-bone Award, for alerting the sophomore anti-RF committee to the clandestine advances of a neighboring sorority in the early hours of the morning. Although Horse’s soulful face and sad brown eyes would indi cate a Hamlet-like bent, Phi Psi men call her “without equal as a bright and witty conversational ist.” No stuck-up sophisticate, Horse will stop and talk to anyone who happens to choose one of her favorite trees on the old campus as a spot to rest on a warm, sun ny day. (Fear not, however. Horse is a lady and doesn’t use outdoor rest rooms.) Fights ‘Machine’ Full of exuberance and talent, Horse can be heard baying at the moon on clear nights (along with her fellow Phi Psi’s). Phi Psi men are staging a whirl wind last-minute campaign for “their girl” in an attempt to snatch undecided votes from the "machine” candidates nominated by the homecoming committee. (They hope to have more suc cess than Gov. Scranton did in San Francisco, needless to say.)

Lepke Describes YCJ As Bi-Partisan Group Cal Lepke, chairman of the: University chapter of the Young; Citizens for Johnson-Humphrey,; explained the functions of thej campus’ newest political organi zation Monday in a special inter view. Lepke stressed that the YCJ’s are completely a bi-partisan or ganization “interested only in the election of Johnson and Hum phrey.” All independents and Re-j publicans who are interested in | local or state candidates of their own party but don’t wish to sup port the national ticket are invit- j ed to join this organization. Lep ke stated “We want all members of the student body interested in furthering their political belief in President Johnson to come to our meeting Thursday.” Chairman Lepke added that YCJ’s “give students a chance to participate in politics on a large scale.” The opportunities in this organization,” he continued, “arei great in number because it offers intellectual challenges in politi cal education.” Plans for various coming events include a student rally on the Student Union patio, distribution of campaign material, door to door campaigning, and a number of speakers that may include vice-presidential candi date Hubert Humphrey. A gov ernmental official will speak at this week’s meeting. Lepke announced that he has written a letter to President Johnson “promising full support of the organization during the campaign.” He has also sent a letter to the state director of the YCJ. Appealing for unity from those supporting President Johnson, Lepke closed by saying, “This election is the most equivocal ever in many respects, for it pre sents a platform of tolerance, forbearance, and moderation op posed to radicalism, irrationality, and wand-waving.” Do*?tRead This Head of flair?
