The committee is attempting to obtain Dr. Paul Popenoe, head of the Los Angeles family relation clinic, as speaker at a general as sembly February 12.

Present plans include separate assemblies for men and women on February 12, followed by fire side discussions in the living or ganizations during the next week. A representative from each or ganization will be appointed to arrange for the meeting in his group. These discussions will be led by prominent townspeople and faculty members.

Frosh Committee to Aid Student Union Boosters Appointment of a freshman student union committee to help “keep student union alive” was announced last night by Og Young, campus student union chairman. The new committee will work with the existing sophomore committee under Uly Dorais, and the junior committee under Glenn Williams. Its chairman will automatically become a member of the all-campus com mittee. Freshmen desiring committee positions may file petitions in a box in the Co-op store all day Thursday, Young said. The peti tions will be read Friday by the all-campus committee, composed of Eleanor Sederstrom, Ann Reynolds, Williams, Dorais, and Young, and by Gerald Huestis, president of the Independent Stu dents' association. Petition Form The petitioner should submit in his petition his name, address, phone number, activity record, GPA, and other particular ability that makes him fitted for that work. “From 16 to 18" members will be chosen to serve on the committee, Young said. Selection of members will be made without regard to politics, Young said, although it will not be made on the strength of GPA as the present sophomore com mittee was picked a year ago. GPA will count, however. Building Wanted The so-called “student union" move is an effort to obtain a building on the Oregon campus which will be used solely for re creational purposes.
