^Student Vote May Be Held By Recheck Large Discrepancy Noted In Addresses Given Clerk and Census Koke Says Not Definite Decision Yet Made No further action had beer taken by authorities up to a late hour yesterday afternoon relative to discrepancies between perma nent addresses given by students ’when registering for voting in the city of Eugene municipal elections and the permanent addresses given to the federal census takers. However, according to J. H. Koke, district census supervisor, a recheck may be made later of those houses with whose figures he is dissatisfied, but probably not for some time because of the pres sure of work in the office. 30 Dafs Left Such a recount, if made after election time, May 16, will not save the students from a chal lenge of their vote. He still has 30 days in which to make this check. According to County Clerk W. B. Dillard yesterday afternoon, no action will be taken by him at the ^present time, as his office is not concerned with the matter. “However,” he said, “if anyone wishes to check back on the rec ords of my office that is his (the student's) funeral. I haven’t any thing to do with it.” Many Changes Noted When and if a recheck is made, according to Mr. Koke, he will re quire all the members of the houses to make out individual cen sus slips showing from which place each individual desires to be reg istered. Wednesday afternoon Mr. Koke and Mr. Dillard released figures showing that a large percentage of students in the fraternities in precinct 22 had registered in Eu gene for the municipal elections, giving the fraternity houses as their permanent residences. In di rect contrast to this, the census figures show an overwhelming number of students living in these * same fraternities as giving their permanent addresses elsewhere than Eugene.

Seniors Are Slow In Getting Gowns Orders for Graduation Regalia Few Although tomorrow has been set as the last day for seniors to order caps and gowns and com mencement invitations, only about half of them have turned in their orders so far, according to Marion McClain, manager of the Co-op, where orders are being placed. Mr. McClain urges that all sen iors place their orders immedi ately, in order that the Co-op may order what equipment is necessary to supply the class for commence ment. The rental for caps and gowns is $2.50; commencement invita tions sell for 11 cents each, and leather-covered souvenir booklets are 60 cents. The Sweater is the Campus Pet !

The report was unfavorable to deferred pledging. In the report the committee submitted the following conclu i sions: “A survey of the reasons advanced for deferred pledging shows that they are reducible to just two: (1) to give the student an opportunity to know the fra ternities; (2) to give the frater nities an opportunity to know the student. “Yet the peculiar effect of de ferred pledging is to produce the OPPOSITE result. Elaborate rules for non-intercourse are laid down, and severe penalties for violation are provided. This system of non intercourse extends anywhere from three weeks to more than a year. Fraternity in Foreground “The almost universal com plaint against deferred pledging is I that it keeps the student's mind centered on "making" a fraternity instead of getting down to business of study. Those colleges seem best satisfied which get rushing out of the way BEFORE the opening of college or during the first week. That mistakes are made on the part of both man and fraternity is admitted, but the settled state of the student body outweighs this disadvantage. “Recommendations: Com m o n sense dictates that the only way for a student to learn the frater nities and the fraternities the stu dent. is to throw them together frequently. What is required is not an elaborate scheme of non intercourse with a long term of de ferred pledging, but a carefully planned system of intercourse, on honor, which shall get the parties acquainted in the shortest possi ble time.” Skullduggery Rampant It has been found that where there is deferred pledging there is often hypocrisy, secret pledging, and solemn agreement. The temp tation for the fraternities to trans gress the rules laid down, and to secretly pledge some of the “prize" freshmen, is too great to resist. Even when a fraternity is caught breaking a rule the detec tor often refuses to lodge a com plaint for fear that a counter charge may be launched. With this secret promising tak ing place and some freshmen car rying pledge pins in their pockets until the pledging day, there re sults between fraternities an in tensified rivalry and ill-feeling. At the same time, the secret rushing tends to have an ill effect on the scholarship of both the old and the new student.
