Fire Sub-Station for Campus Recommended by State Official By Maryann Thielen A recommendation made in December, 1944, by State Fire Marshal E. A. Taylor for a fire sub -station to be located on the University of Oregon campus has again reached the desk of City Manager Deane Seeger he revealed yesterday. As yet the city has not attempted to do anything beyond the original rec ommendation, which summarized a report on University buildings and listed fire safety regulations. At the end of his survey, Marshal Taylor suggested that a well equipped fire department be estab lished on the University grounds either by the University or by the City of Eugene. Two Problems According to Manager Seeger, there are two main problems to be confronted before the city can establish any new sub-stations. First, it would be inadvisable to select a definite site when a suit able location for the proposed city hall and council building has not yet been found. The new location of these buildings might make the central fire station so close as to eliminate the need for a sub-sta tion. -^Tn recent years the tendency has been to get away from sub stations the city manager said, “because the increased speed and (Pledse turn to page eight) Wiskerless Sophs Cooled off at Side A red barrel in front of the Side filled with ice-water was the nem esis for all non-conformers to Sophomore Whiskerino traditions. Male sophomores on the campus who did not let the old fuzz grow or who gave themselves a head start in the beard growing contest were dunked accordingly. High Sheriff Dick Sanvinar declared, “The boys really showed some swell spirit—they all took it fine.” He commented on the fact that there were quite a few veterans present at the dunking ceremony. First on the list to be barrel washed was Tom Ray, who’s first statement was merely, “It’s cold!’ Jack Powell came up with the ole “I can hardly talk” routine and proceeded to dive in again aftei ( Please turn to fatjc ei<jht ) Religious Conference Opens Today at Igloo Rev.

Movies Create Wrong Ideas On Advertising Views Expressed Ruth S. Foland “The movies, more than anything else, give people wrong impression of advertis ing agencies,” asserted Ruth S. Foland, who was at the Uni versity yesterday as a guest of Gamma Alpha Chi, national women’s advertising honorary. "Advertising is always pictured as such a glamorous business that many people are terribly disap pointed when they see what it’s leally like,” she said. Mrs. Foland, who learned adver tising “the hard way,’’ has never taken any courses in journalism or advertising. She was all ready to enter the University of Oregon as a business administration major when a friend, Mary Fenton, per suaded her to become an office manager in the Fenton advertis ing agency. Agency Manager She is now the manager of that agency, which has changed its name to the Pacific National ad vertising agency. “Tco many people graduate from schools of journalism with out learning the difference be tween an electro and a mat,” she complained. “It would be easier for them if they would learn such fundamentals first instead of con centrating on literature,” she pointed out. No Artistic Ability She also disproved the popular theory that artistic ability is necessary in advertising. “I can’t even draw a straight line,” she exclaimed.

Present at the meeting were some 35 men representing 15 fraternities. The group met at the suggestion of Dean Earl to form a platform of ideas and purposes of the organ ized, but as yet unofficial, frater nal body. Several matters of policy were discussed and the following points were tentatively agreed upon. First, with the consent of the dean of men and the Student Affairs committee, fraternities with at least four initiated members on campus may begin pledging winter term. A maximum number of pledges for each house will be set, the number to be approximately 10. Secondly, it was decided that. I certain provisions for pre-war fraternity pledges would be estab lished. In regard to this, it was suggested that these pledges be initiated. On many campuses throughout the country, Greek men are living in their houses with unaffiliated men students as boarders to help share expenses. It was pointed out that this plan may be adopted on the campus. The housing of men students in fraternity houses would be left to the discretion of University officials.
