Due in New Students,
Constance Says
Registration procedure for win

Clifford Constance, assistant regis
trar announced.
Graduate students will not start

Experts 2750 Students
With fall term registration
reaching 2904, Mr. Constance pre
dicted that winter term figures
will reach 2750. This drop is based
on last year’s figures, fall term
registration being 2741, dropping
to 2600 winter term.
There will be a few new students,
Constance said, although no figure
was available. Several students
finished their work for degrees, but
no degrees will be awarded until
the end of spring term, according
to a new ruling of the state sys
tem of higher education.
New Gym Courses
Several changes in the curricu
lum of the physical education
school have been made, due to the
additional facilities made accessi
ble by the new physical education
plant. Courses added in other
schools were for the most part in
continuation of fall term courses.
One professorial change was
made during the term. Dr. Arthur
J. Marder, Harvard graduate, will
replace Professor Clarence G. Os

a post with the resettlement ad

James Wells and William Fra
ger, vigilante committee co
chairmen, drafted the staunchest
of sophomore “muscle men” into
the vigilantes' ranks to begin
punishment of vagrant sopho
mores.
“In way of reminding sopho
mores of the sanctity of the

like to add that during January
the race runs cold," Denton Bur
dick, Whiskerino co-chairman,
proclaimed.

TCLACA Godfather Gives
Hints for Happiness in
Married Students9 Homes
By HOWARD KESSLER
The TCLACA marches on!
Letters and cards received during the past two weeks have shown
us that the movement is not ephemeral, that the Two Can Live As
Cheaply Association continues to attract national attention. Communi
cations from coast to coast, Canada to Mexico, indicate the extent of
interest in the newly-founded Oregon society of married students.
Particularly encouraging is a lengthy letter from David C. Rogers
of New Britain, Connecticut, "First Godfather of the TCLACA,” who
last month contributed $5 to the coffers of the organization. Excerpts
from Mr. Rogers’ reply to our re
ply follow:
Understanding Faculty
“I hesitate to try to make sug

There is nothing to criticize in your

Ten Intriguing Reasons f or Buying an ASUO Card
Or is it the ten best reasons for buying a student body card? These ten beautiful ballerinas are but a group of the 125 dancers who will
appear on the campus February 4 to present the Monte Carlo Ballet Kusse. Flans are being made to make the event the social and cultural
highlight of the winter season. It is believed that glamor of this sort will help.
your faculty which, as judged by
eastern attitudes, is extraordinary.
Certainly the advice you will have
from persons who are better ac
quainted with your situation than
I, will be more important than any
thing I can give.
‘‘However, you are bucking
against a lot of traditions which
though stupid are strongly in
trenched. As your dean of women
has proposed, you have an oppor
tunity not only to work out a
practicable regime for yourselves,
but also to furnish guidance to
students contemplating marriage.
If any suggestions that I can make
will be of value to you, T want you
to have them.
“In an early marriage, each part
ner is likely to go through large
changes in personal development
after marriage. Plans should be
made so that they will go through
these changes together, i.e., in the
same environment, under similar
educational and cultural influences,
and in close association with each
other.
“In a partnership such as I am
arguing for, the relations between
the partners would be those of mu
tual persuasion, understanding, tol

“The couple undertaking early
marriage will wish that their home
be as attractive as is practicable,

there is no increase whatsoever in

side of a hill, much of the gymna

ery part of the interior, except the
administrative offices is artificial
ly lighted and air-conditioned.
The building is 434 feet long,
considerably more than a standard
city block. It has two levels, and
is designed so that activity rooms
have a ceiling 30 feet from the
floor. The building is built large
ly around the two activity rooms,
which may be used for basketball,
indoor tennis, volleyball, and any
number of other sports.

fessional handball court, two dou
ble squash courts, one boxing
room, one wrestling room, bag
bunching room, an apparatus and
tumbling room, a corrective gym

sports room with a dirt floor, staff
conference roopn, seven staff of
fices, dean's office and office
headquarters, club room, large lec
ture auditorium, three class rooms,
two research rooms, two large
shower and dry rooms for students,
faculty shower and dry room, bas
ketball supply room, large locker
room with 400 lockers, first aid
unit, and numerous store rooms
and other spaces.
Among the new features in the
plant are an air conditioning sys
tem which automatically combats
drafts, sudden changes in temper
ature, and expensive heating bills;
and a lighting system installed by
engineers who followed IEC speci
fications to allow just the right
amount of light in every room.
The building has two main en
trances on University street, two
more to the locker rooms on Fif
teenth avenue, and two others to
playing fields on the east side. Two
entrances connect the unit with Me,
Arthur court.

Concert Series
The Eugene Gleemen, received
on the campus last year with wide
acclaim, have been added to the
A&UO concert schedule as a fea

February 18.
The large group of local singers
will present an entirely new vocal
program including both classical
and light opera selections. The
singers appear without any musi
cal accompaniment.
The Gleemen are directed by
John Stark Evans and represent
one of the largest male choruses
on the coast.
Sorority Rushing
Limited to Dates
At Lunch, Dinner
Winter term rushing by sorori
ties will be carried on the first
