The question naires, which were circulated re cently throughout the campus, indicate that Webfoots believe that students should have the right to govern their own affairs. The tabulated questionnaires will be submitted to Harry K. Newburn, University president, some time next week for his consideration and analysis. Their distribution has - . been the result of efforts by several campus leaders. In response to the question “Do you favor an increase in the present student representation on the athletic and educational activi ties boards, and the student af fairs and student disciplinary com mittees?’’ almost 675 of the re turns answered “Yes.” Faculty, Students Equal The increase favored by the re turns is to make representation equal between faculty and students or to have a majority of students. At present the voting representa tion on the various boards is as follows: athletic board—8 faculty and alumni, 3 students; educational activities—5 faculty, 3 students; student affairs—7 faculty, 3 stu dents; student disciplinary — 8 _> faculty, 3 students.

Fraternities Oust 'Hell Week’ Rites The University Interfraternity council voted Thursday to abolish "Hell Week” as a portion of the pre-initiation rites of all frater nities represented on the campus. A unanimous vole of the fra ternities was cast to amend the council’s constitution and thus do away with the former practice of concentrated hazing prior to the formal initiation ceremonies. “Hell Week,” in pre-war years, was the period during which pledg es, who were awaiting induction into the organizations, were forc ed to perform various degrading tasks and to absorb much physi cal punishment. The council indicated that its stand was taken because the peri od of torture prior to the initiation was not proper preparation for the man about to be passed through the formal rites. The council’s attitude parallels that of the national interfrater nity council, of which all frater nities represented on this campus are members. The national council passed a recent resolution that this questionable practice be abandon ed.

The tall, good-looking prospec tive attorney is playing the lead ing male role in “Out Flew the Web,” which opens in Johnson hall this evening. He heartily calls the play “a very good one. I only hope I can portray the role of David as well as it should be played." Graduating from Washington high school in Portland in 1943, Bob took part in a number of plays during his time there, in cluding the lead in the senior class play. Hen entered the army fol lowing his graduation and served about nine months overseas in the European theater, receiving his medical discharge in August.
