Girls Like Frat Houses; Don’t Miss Dorm Life By Winifred Romtvedt Sorry, fraternity fellows, the girls won’t let you have your houses back! Soldiers, you can have the dormitories! Of course it won’t be that way when the war is over, but the girls really like living in smaller houses. Presidents of the various lodges have noted that the girls have more fun, feel more at home, and get to know each other better under the present arrangement. From Georgia Dussin, Birch lodge president, came these com ments: "The girls like it very well. .With a small group we are organ ized better.’’ She thinks the girls are happier because it is more like a sorority and the girls can study in their rooms, reserving the downstairs for chatting. Roberta Madden, Laurel lodge proxy, says: "I think the girls like it very much better. There is an opportunity to know each other better, and it's more like a family group." The few former dormitory girls in Lombardy lodge "like it a lot better, and get to know each other better,” says President Barbara Miller. "There’s no comparison,” ac cording to Margaret Murphy, Hawthorne lodge prexy. “We couldn’t stand the other place again. This is more fun. There’s a group feeling. It’s like home.” Alders Like House Speaking for the freshmen who have only three former dormitory girls in their midst at Alder lodge, President Marvene Westrum says: ‘‘We like living in a small house very much. New girls are also in the major ity at Mill lodge, but Marilyn Hill, house president, finds that the oth ers like it “much better,” and it makes for "closer friendships.” Says Edna Fisher of Casa Blan ca lodge: "It’s very different from what we’re used to, but as a whole we like it much better.. It’s more like a home and we get to know everyone in the house instead of only a few.’’ Ten Patients Listed On Infirmary Roster The infirmary boasts an even number of both sexes today mak ing a total of ten inmates.

Freewater Due Charter Under Mayoralty Plan Freewater, Oregon has adopted a modern mayor-council charter drawn up by the Freewater city council with the assistance of the Bureau of Municipal Research and Service, according to word receiv ed by Orval Etter, resident assist ant of the Bureau. On November 16, Marshfield and North Bend voted on a proposed manager charter which would have consolidated the two cities into a new city of Coos Bay. The manager charter was drawn up by Mr. Etter. Comparative financial statistics of the two separate cities and of a consolidated city were prepared by the Bureau for members of the charter com mittee. A streamlined mayor - council charter for Beaverton has just been completed by the Beaverton council and the Bureau, Mr. Etter announced and a new council-man ager charter for Hillsboro is under way.

A. “Coach’’ Murray, of Pendleton, who won the honorary title of coach because of his great interest in football, has affected a great many sports lovers in Oregon. The only man to ever receive a golden football from the University ath letic department outside of alum ni, members of the faculty, or the football team, Murray was very ac tive in furthering the education and athletic training of many boys. John Murray never attended college or played football but he had a deep respect for both. It is said he had two football loves— Pendleton high school and the University. He “adopted” at least 14 Pendleton boys and helped fi nance them through college. One boy he helped was John Warren, the present coach. Others include Mark Temple, Jay Graybeal, the “Pendleton jackrabbit” and many others. His will which was read in pro bate court at Pendleton last Satur day revealed that he had left the greater part of his $20,000 estate to the athletic student loan fund of the University athletic depart ment.
