VOLUME L UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1948 NUMBER 40 Dorm Men Criticise "DuShane Plan" , UO's Interdorm council gathered last night in Stan Ray lounge to ' hear director of student affairs (Donald M. DuShane explain the , new “freshman living plan.” A score of interdorm men reg istered dissatisfaction at the pos ■ sible weakening of the dormitory .system which the proposed change might cause. DuShane began with the state ment'that “all humans are basi . cally conservative and hesitant in the face of change.” However, he continued, “some changes must be 1 accepted. , “Freshmen should have the ex perience of living together in a college dormitory,” he added, say ing this applied to both men and women. “Our educators have long con tended that college students should have in common certain curriculum —such as freshman composition,” he said. “In this same train of thought, our college students should also have social experiences in common. This can be achieved by first-year residence in dormi tories.” He contended that a better Greek-Independent spirit would re sult from all freshmen having a common dormitory beginning. “Then too, fraternities would be more responsible and stable with ! only members living in houses,” he continued. “Pledging would not be restricted to a rush week, but would continue all year. This would erase the problem of those who | rush but are not pledged, finding | themselves at the end of rush i week with no housing whatsoever —dorm or fraternity,” DuShane pointed out that 50 men and 30 women were left in that position at the termination of j this fall’s rush week. First question from the floor was in relation to plan of housing freshmen in the same dorms with upper-classmen. DuShane support ed this plan, saying that “older men have experience which is val uable to younger men in the ad justment to college life.” The proportion of fraternity men to independents on the campus was brought out. “Last year fraternity men com prised about 27 per cent of the male enrollment,” DuShane com mented. With freshmen living in dorms, fraternities would be able to take in more men, raising the percentage ultimately to some thing like 35 per cent. ” Only about 20 per cent of tho men in dorms would be pledges, he said. A dormitory man contended tho new system would "cause disinter est and resistance in dormitory or ganization—and we'll have too many of the non-intellectual, "Joe. College” type dumped in our laps.” DuShanc said he doubted tho chance of resistance, and fraterni ties would take “Joe College” even I if he didn't make his grades.

Board 'members expect a turnout of “at least 3000.” ■ Coach Jim Aiken, team members, Athletic Director Leo Jlarris, the rally squad, and the Oregon band will participate . in the rally for Friday night’s UCLA game at Los Angeles.

University officials have waived the rule of the Student Affairs committee that no so cial functions can be held after 7:30 p. m. on weeknights, in or der that the rally tonight can be held. Roll Call Slated Rally board chairman Alex Murphy announced that there would be a roll call of all living organizations at the rally to furth er insure a large turnout. The rally board met with the vice president of all organizations .yesterday, and made it clear that it was up to each group to take its own initiative and support the team. Murphy emphasized that the time for the rally would not conflict with desserts, or late dates. “In the past rallies this year, students have com plained because the sendoffs con flicted with dinner hours, were too late, too early, transportation wasn’t available, or else it was too cold,” he said, “but there should be no excuses tonight. The rally will be held in spite of rain, sleet, or snow.” Turnout Asked Board members were also of the opinions that a big turnout should be on hand, including married stud ents who have just as much inter est in the football team’s progress. The UCLA game is the next-to last hurdle for the Webfoots in their uphill climb to the Rose Bowl. Two years ago, the football team had only a mediocre season and the school spirit was low, but even now when the gridders are in the midst of their best season since 1933, the Oregon support has been poor for rallies, according to the board. Students Needed For Oregana Shot Hundreds of “sidewalk engi neers” are needed on the site of the student union today. The reason?
