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

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.

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.

Interest in the 1964 campaign
is focused on the Presidential
race, but there is a local legis

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.

ly thereafter by the Phi Psi house
manager, who recognized her as a
"siren of the first degree.”
Horse has demonstrated her
leadership talents in several ways.
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.”

MALVILLE FUNCTION III, mechanic
Mr. Function is the UNIVERSITY OF OREGON FLYING CLUB'S
chief engineer. “Mai" (as he is known to his friends at T-BIRD
AIRPARK) was for years Engineering-Supervisor-in-charge of
the Toonerville Trolley combine.
Function takes care of all T-BIRD aircraft; supervises their
routine 100-hour inspections and occasional oil changes . ..
whether they need it or not!
Mai Function's record of safety remains unsullied—for NEVER
at any time during his distinguished career has an aircraft
crashed in his shop! ! !
Our success in flying is due entirely to the tradition of Mai
Function III and his ancestors. "Mai" Functions are indeed a
"tradition" with T.BIRDS, for Mai's father and grandfather
both have worked in our engineering department. It would
only be fair to say that our continued progress in the aviation
business is the direct result of one Mai Function after an
other! ! ! !
