WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 (IP)
Senator Morse (R-Ore.) has been
appointed a member of the sen
ate republican campaign commit
tee to serve through the present
congress. This is his first senate
term. The selection was made by
a party caucus.
By JUANITA SHINN
Kelly Farris, chairman of to
day's pep assembly, attempted
in conduct an orderly and digni'
lied pep assembly this after
noon, to no avail. It started out
with a serious note Bin wii
son was shot. Tom Hopkins went
grizzly hunting, Don Noel got
the traditional "pie in the puss,
and Arnold Ellis lost his momer.
The yell squad did all tney
could to help Kelly. They, in
order to keep dignity, wore
tux's and Lois Nelson, yell
queen, wore a black dress and
heels.
Steve Stone, Pat Hutchinson,
and Dee Nelson furnished trom
bone fanfares for all the
"events", which were just that.
Bob Clammer acted the part
of a drunk who put in an ap
pearance at the most opportune,.
and inopportune moments.
Included on the program were
Bill Wilson, who did a charming
ballet dance until Arnold Ellis
proceeded to shoot him.
Bill lay on the stage during
the rest of the program until
Bill Abbey and Jack Ankor, rep
resenting the funeral home,
came for the "body".
Arnold Ellis lost his mother,
and Beverly Zamsky came to
the rescue.
Tom Hopkins, who went
grizzly hunting, came in finally,
after much searching, with a
bear skin coat representing the
bear he caught.
Edna Renner did a lovely (7)
rendition at the piano but ran
into some difficulties.
Dave Henthorne, reverting to
the slap-stick, did a fine job of
smearing Don Noel with a cus
tard pie.
Kelly Farris receives credit
for writing the script for one of
the peppiest assemblies this
school has ever seen..

SALEM, Feb. 2 (P) The con
troversial logging truck issue,
in which the truck operators
object to having to dump part
of their logs from overloaded
trucks, will be aired next Tues

the senate and house highway
committees.
The hearing will be on a bill
by Sen. Rex. Ellis, Pendleton,
which would allow overloaded
trucks to proceed to their des
tinations under flag at not more
than 10 miles an hour.
The house forestry commit
tee introduced a bill to let
trucks with overloads of 0000
pounds or less to proceed to
their destinations, but those
with overloads of more than
6000 pounds would have to un
load the excess weight.
The state highway commis
sion is expected to oppose both
bills.
The committees at the same
hearing will hear arguments on
the bill to give counties 2u per
