Freshman women were barred from attending the mixer by the office of the dean of women. In the photo above, Wilbert Roth, managing editor of The Daily Collegian, who was master o: ceremonies, is shown with sophomore candidates John Baron, Sara Ellen Shoemaker, Joseph Arnold, Charles Wysocki, Lois Pulver, ahd Jack Haines The candidates spoke only briefly at the mixer, which was spon sored by Collegian in the inter ests of better student government and was endorsed by both the State, and Lion parties at meet ings Sunday evening. The rest of the time was given over to dancing and to social conversa tion, Freshman women learned late Tuesday that the dean of women’s office would not allow them, to attend the meeting. Reason given by the office was that the affair was of'the nature of a-social gathering, and that first-semester women, under College rules, are not allowed to attend evening so cial events except on weekends. The two parties decided yester day that there would be little use in having their candidates attend the mixer if the womep who would vote for. them would • not be there. Candidates .'Arnold is the Stateparty candi date for sophomore class presi dent, and Miss Shoemaker and Baron, respectively, are the party’s candidates for vice-presi dent and secretary-treasurer. Wysocki is the Lion sophomore president candidate' and Haines and Miss Pulver are the vice president and secretary-treasurer candidates, respectively. Absence of freshman women probably cut deeply into the size of the possible crowd. Further more, many of those who did at tend the affair were campus po liticos and upperclassmen not eli gible to vote in the sophomore and freshman class elections scheduled next Tuesday. ' Freshman Lion candidates are: For president, Jo Hutchon; vice president, Gerry Brown, and sec retary-treasurer, Peggy Hepler.
