These rules will go into effect next fall upon the opening of school, it is announced. The principal change from pres “lit regulations is that all under ! graduates who are members or pledges of fraternities who do not live with parents rr relatives in ()regon are required to live in their respective fraternity houses, and should the student be excused from living in the house, his membership shall be computed in figuring the capacity rating of his house. Rating Made All fraternity houses are to be rated on the number of members it is capable of housing, and the mem bership is not to exceed this num ber, it is stated. Lower d+visirn (freshman and sophomore) men who are not mem bers of a fraternity are required to live in university dormitories, as are all women students, both upper and lower division. Another important change is that students must engage rooms frr on entire academic year in the dormi tories, and thnt if they pledge to fraternities they must still comply to their year of residence in the halls. Minor Changes Made Other minor changes are also in cluded in the rules, which were worked out in cooperation with fra ternity representatives and others intorested. Housing Regulations for Men Students 1. The capacity of each frater nity house shall be rated by tbe university administration with the counsel and advice of tlie presi dents of each fraternity. Frater nities shall not maintain in their respective chapter houses a member ship greater than the rated capacity of such houses. 2.

Five More Days Will Be Required To Finish Movie 300 Scenes Shot; Good Weather Advances Camera Work Three-fourths of “Green” Already Completed Three hundred scenes of the enm pus movie, “Green,” have been completed, according to James F. McBride, supervisor and photog rapher. This number is approxi mately three-fourths of the total amount which must be made to com plete tho picture. The recent belated spell of good weather which has finally come to lie campus has been talcen advan tage of, and work has been progress ing apace. It will be possible to finish the picture in about five • lays of good weather, McBride says. Although all the scenes will be dint perhaps a week before school is out, it has been decided that it will be best to give the world’s premiere showing next fall. In this way the producers will have ample time to cut and title before the first appearance. One thousand feet of film has already been cut into sequence and has been shown. Carvel Nelson and James Haley, production direc tors, have seen this and have pro nounced it excellent. All of the shots requiring extra people have been made in order that there might be no handicaps when shooting crowd scenes, and work from now on is practically only with the principals, a condi tion which makes for fast shooting. University official# and all others who have viewed the rush showings have been loud in their praises, according to the producing staff. John H. Mueller Speaks on ‘Crime’ John II.

I Council Heads Made Known By Stoddard Fourteen Appointed on Executive Group for Next Year Eight Governing Bodies Selected Six Officers To Comprise New Committee oil Student Affairs By HARRY TONKON That tlie officers for the 1929-oO season of the associated students will be assisted by efficient com mittees was evidenced yesterday when Tom Stoddard, new president of tin1 student, body, announced the personnel of the executive council and eight important, subsidiary com mittees, including the new student affairs group.

Biggs, assistant dean of men; and Beatrice Milligan, who has non-voting power.
