MERRELL
Deferred Pledging
Program Adopted
At the Saturday morning business session of their three-day meet
ing dads of the University of Oregon adopted a many-pointed pro
gram which urged the ultimate adoption of a system of deferred
pledging and rushing, assistance to the University graduates in obtain
ing jobs, and plans to obtain legislation favorable to higher education.
The fathers urged the adoption of a deferred pledging plan for
campus Greek-letter groups. Under the plan students would not be
first year in the University. The
action was voted on the basis of
a report made by a committee ap
pointed a year previously.
Final action should not be taken
until housing facilities and “the
financial condition of organizations
make the plan practical, the com
mittee report said. No method of
introducing the plan was recom
mended. A committee from the
dads' group was appointed to work
with University authorities in mak
ing a further study, and work for
early adoption of the plan.
Grads Jobs Talked
As a plank for future action
dads took over the problem of
placement of University graduates
as “a major interest.” Under the*
proposed placement plan a network
of local units would be formed to
report opportunities for graduates
in their communities to the Uni
versity employment office.
Objectives other than aid to
graduates would be sought by the
local units. They would co-operate
with other groups interested in
higher education and the Univer
sity, and would attempt to interest
high school graduates in attending
the University.
Legislative Group Named
Special committees were ap
pointed to assist in strengthening
the position of higher education at
legislative assemblies, to study
building needs on the campus, and
investigate interest rates on mort
gages on campus living organiza
tions.
Complete approval was given to
a plan of extending remote control
facilities from station KOAC in
Corvallis to the University campus.
The dads will urge the establish
ment of a studio, connected by re
mote control with KOAC.
Traffic problems along Thir
teenth street and on the campus
will be studied by a special com
mittee. Another committee will
draw up resolutions expressing ap
preciation for Dr. Boyer’s service
as president and will send greet
ings of the dads to Dr. Charles M.
Erb, president-elect.
Officers Elected
Loyal H. McCarthy of Portland
was elected to replace Merle Chess
man of Astoria as president of the
group. I. D. Winslow, Portland,
was elected vice-president; Walter
W. R. May, Portland, secretary;
Dean Karl W. Onthank of the Uni
versity, executive secretary, and
James Rodman of Eugene, Judge
Arthur Hay of Lakeview, and Rev.
George Swift of Salem, members of
the executive committee.
Hunter Speaks to Dads
After the business meeting, the
fathers inspected campus buildings
and exhibits, then attended the an
nual Dad’s day banquet at which
Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter
was principal speaker. Talking on
"Building Oregon," the chancellor
urged the substitution pf the psy
chology of success instead of one
of defeatism.

to act.
If, after the board meets we
do not believe it has, in firing
or retaining Callison or in hir
ing someone else, done the l ight
thing, The Emerald will not wait
upon the CCCC to act. If we
think it has done the right
thing in light of the evidence at
hand, no matter what its action,
we will back it to the limit.
Our stand, Mr. Ackerson, is
that the board should investi- >
gate these persistent rumors. It
has announced that it will do so.
Naturally, since it has indicated
it will make a decision to the
best of its ability, we will await
its decision and hear the evi
dence before condemning or
commending it.

Coed Detective
Finds Budding
Clues in Trees
By BETTY JANE THOMPSON
A few weeks ago I didn't mind
the walk to school, even though
it was raining. The brilliant or
anges, reds, and yellows of the
leaves made the whole town
seem ablaze with color.
The last few days have been
different. There are a few trees,
like the sweet gum over by
Deady, that hang on to their
leaves desperately, trying to
cheer these foggy days. But on
the whole, all one sees is a slip
pery mass of wrinkled brown
leaves.
I said as much yesterday to
Marian Field, one of the adult,
education correspondence in
structors. My chance remark .
led to a 15-minute tour of the
campus. And here’s what we
found:
Huge green buds on the rho
dodendron bushes near the Pio
neer. And, so I was told, next
year’s twig growth and blossom
are “tucked up" inside each bud.
Discovers Mushrooms
At least six different kinds of
mushrooms. There were those
tiny things, some not an eighth
of an inch in diameter, - of deli
cate lavender hue growing at the
base of some of the trees along
the walk between Deady and
Kincaid. Then there were those
scarlet red ones and those white
ones that looked like small blades
of grass because they had no
tops. (And they are that way
naturally and not because some
one has kicked the tops off.)
On the walk from Villard to
Eleventh I found clusters of yel
low ones, deepening to brown
ish orange near center, almost
completely covering the base of
a cedar.
Returning, near the old libe
we looked up at the cedars and
wondered if suddenly we had be
come color blind. Instead of be
ing green, they appeared sul
phur-colored. Reason was the
vast number of catkins.
Not the only trees blessed with
an abundant supply of buds this
year are the cedars. This we
learned when we investigated
the redwood and the myrtle with
their light green buds.
The “Siamese twins” over by
yrajSE13MSr3J3l5EI3J3ISJSISlS/SISJSJ5ISH3Jc
the shack. Wine red buds with
furry gray collars, two growing
from one point, on the vining
maples.
And red aplenty (and all sizes
and shapes) in the fruits of the
haws, one near the sun dial and
one in front of the art building,
and of the shrubbery all over the
campus.
“More colors are found on a
gray day than on a sunny one."
This statement, made by a fam
ous naturalist, Mrs. Field holds
to be true. And now I’m inclined
to agree with her.
Sig Eps Capture
(Continued from page four)
Strohecker showed up well for the
losers.
The loss was the first in two
years for the Phi Delts who won
botti A and B league crows last
year.
The ATO B team captured the
minor league championship by
beating the Beta babes, 15-11,
15-13, in two of the best played
games of the season.
Both teams were evenly matched,
the margin being determined by
smooth plays of the hotelmen.
Jack Stafford, Don Anderson, and
James Wilkinson played outstand
ing. ball for the winners, and Wil
son Siegmund turned in the best
game on the Beta squad.
The ATOs entered the finals last
week by eliminating the Phi Delts,
15-6, 15-10.
