* Baby-sitting has paid big divi
dends for some fifty members of
Delta Delta Delta sorority, who
are now able to offer $600 in schol
arships for women this spring.

to an outstanding incoming junior
will be the largest scholarship
* awarded on the Oregon campus.
An additional $250 award will be
, presented to an incoming senior
woman. Both awards will be an
nounced during the All-Campus
. Sing of Junior Weekend.
Petitions for the two awards
may be filed by any University un
" married woman who will be a
junior or senior next year. Appli
r cations must be received in the of
fice of Golda Wickham, director
of women’s affairs, by Tuesday,
» April 19.
Principal bases for awarding the
scholarships will be need and the
purpose for which the money will
be used, with some emphasis on
it activities and scholarship.
Under the direction of Gloria
Stannard, service projects chair
■'* man, the Tri Delts this year in
augurated a baby-sitting program
t serving the entire city of Eugene.
The purpose of the service was to
N expand the existing scholarship
* program. The chapter last year
awarded three $50 scholarships to
women students.
“Each member of the chapter
volunteered up to $5 worth of her
. time in baby-sitting,” Miss Stan
nard explained yesterday. “At 50
* cents an hour, this represents ten
' hours given up by each girl for this
project.”
i Not all of the scholarship grant
was earned by the sitters, she con
tinued. Additional help was re
ceived from the Portland and Eu
gene-alumnae alliances. The latter1

Frosh and Soph
Names Given
For Co-op Posts
Freshmen Karla Van Loan and
Norman Olds and sophomores Rob
ert E. Davis, Bob Pearce, Fred
Thompson, Bob Knollin, Barbara
Stevenson, Robert Bodner, John
McNutt and Janice Hughes were
nominated for positions on the
1949-50 University Co-op board
Tuesday at the annual board meet
ing.
Outgoing board members are
Don Dole, Ann Woodworth, and
Joe Richards. Barbara Heywood
and Bill Green will continue as
members next year.
Co-op Manager G. D. Henson
outlined the expenditure of the
yearly Co-op membership fee with
the aid of an illustrative chart. 73.8
per cent of the member’s dollar
fee goes for the cost of goods sold,
he said, with textbooks consuming
over half the sales.
Personnel salaries account for
12.7 per cent of the fee, Henson
said. The remainder includes 3.6
for administrative expense, 2.1 for
taxes, and 3.3 for patrons’ rebate.
Four and one-half per cent goes
for net profits.
A net profit of $22,000 was real
ized for the past year, according
to Henson. Of this approximately
half has been set aside for revalu
ation of inventory. Another half is
put aside for possible contingency.
Primarily, Henson said, these are
bookkeeping figures, and a cer
tain amount of the sums is includ
ed in merchandise.

12-Year Plan
SALEM (AP)— A science build
ng and laboratory at the Univer
iity of Oregon were listed first in
i $42 million construction pro
gram recommended in Salem Tues
iay by a joint legislative ways and
neans subcommittee.
The program will be spread over
t period of 12 years, and will in
:lude all of the state colleges and
itate institutions.
It would be financed by an im
nediate $8,000,000 state appropri- •
ition, plus a two-cent cigarette
:ax which would be referred to the
Jeople at the election in Novem
ber, 1950. Of this $8,000,000 higher
sducation would get $6,000,000 and
State institutions $2,000,000.
No action was taken on a mo
:ion by Senator Dean H. Walker,
Independence, to allow spending
mly $5,000,000 until the people
/ote on the cigarette tax.
The buildings would have to be
approved by the state emergency
ooard before construction could
begin.
Other improvements on the list
include: library at Oregon College
of Education; medical dental unit
it University of Oregon Medical
school; library and classroom
building at Southern Oregon Col
lege of Education; library and mu
seum at Eastern Oregon College of
Education; and an animal science
and dairy food industry building
at Oregon State College.
New Requirements

tion will be decided upon at a staff
meeting to be held Thursday after

ris, dean of the business school.

fect those business students who
graduate this June. Necessary ad
justments will be made for next

IS Training Now Easier?
Faculty Considering Proposal
To Halt Military Service Credit
Today's faculty meeting will in-1
elude on its agenda a proposal to
"terminate wartime legislation
granting credit in military sci
ence and physical education for
training received in military ser
vice.”
According to Dean R. W. Leigh
ton of the school of health and
physical education, the change, if
approved, would not affect veter
ans now enrolled in the Univer
sity, on those discharged before
spring, 1949. However, veterans
discharged after this spring would
be required to enroll in regular
physical education, health, and
military science courses required
for junior certificate and gradua
tion.
“Our wartime provision,” ex
plained Dean Leighton, “was to aid
veterans who had undergone stren
uous physical and military train
ing. However, conditions have
changed. Men now get a different
type of training, and are in the ser
vice for a shorter period of time.”
The faculty committee which
has been studying the plan ia
headed by Paul R. Washke of the
physical education school.
Also on the faculty meeting cal
endar are a motion which would
allow graduate students to register
in the University courses for less
than the number of term hours re
quired in the catalog, and the nom
ination of candidates for member
ship on the advisory council.
