VOLUME L UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1949 NUMBER 113 Herb Nill Gets OK for Class Picnic High School Girl's View... 'Gee, They're Not Boys-They're Men' Gy Larry Meisler and Anne Goodman “Look at those Oregon fellas; they’re not boys — THE Y'R E MEN,” a high school girl gushed. Pointing to Gerlinger Hall an other asked, “What house is that.” Not all of the 300 girls for AWS Weekend were quite so naive wher interviewed yesterday. “I have heard a few wild stories about the University, but I don’t think all of them are true. I do hear they drink a lot,” a Portland girl observed. The country club reputation was repudiated by Jane Heisner, West Linn, who said, “In fact, everyone tells me studies are harder here than they are at OSC. The country club story had disappeared almost entirely since the war.” Miss Heiser said that as far as she had heard Oregon was noted for its friendli ness. Joanne Peterson and Joan Geri, Parkrose, had never heard about campus snobbishness but Gwenn Jones from Grant high said that the University was often compared to her high school’s social whirl and snobbishness. She was not sure either school was actually that way. One of the two visitors from Washington, Ann Ostenson, who visited the campus before, thought all the students she had seen were “real friendly.” She said that 3 of her 70 classmates from Camas were coming here next year also. Most of the Salem kids are going to Oregon State, reported Lois Ar 1 chibald, Sue Barnes, Lorraine Well ing, and Barbara Zumwalt, all of Salem. Miss Welling had yet to de cide between OSC and the Univer sity. Over 70% of the girls questioned were in favor of present closing hours. Bobby McKown felt that they were too early, “but in North Bend they are even worse. A 10 p. m. curfew is enforced by the city.” Unanimously the girls interview ed felt that the Oregon campus was the most beautiful one they had seen, although Delores Hughson was afraid she would get lost. She and Naomi Ames, both from Newport, were enthusiastic about the AWS weekend idea. All the others agreed with them though al ready tired and a little bit afraid according to observers. 72 Hours of BA Required For Majors Under New Rule Change Starts Fall Term '49, Says Morris New requirements for stu dents in the school of business administration specify a mini mum of 72 term hours in cours es in business administration and economics, according to Victor P. Morris, dean of the school. The change was passed on at a staff meeting held Thursday af ternoon. Of the 72 hours, at least 48 must be in strictly business administra tion courses. Included in the addi tional 24 hours are 9 of principles of - economics and 3 of business Eng lish. The remaining 12 hours may be in either business administration or economics. The change goes into effect next - fall term. It does not apply to this year’s seniors nor those who will graduate in 1950, Morris said. All students graduating after June 1950 and all transfer students en - tering after June 1949 are requir ed to meet the stipulations. Morris said reasonable considera tion will be given, those who have . difficulty adjusting to the change. Dean Morris, in commenting on _ the requirements said: “The significance of the change • in statement relative to credit re quirements in business administra tion, which will appear in the new catalog, is more apparent than real since the vast majority of business - administration majors have always taken more than the minimum re quired hours in the major. “During the last three years . when large numbers of veterans have been presenting many credits earned in the armed forces the to tal of hours in business administra (Please turn to page two) All This and Records,, Yet m _ Nickel Hop Offers Opportunity To Preview Next Year's Faces “Men, are you tired of the same old faces ? Would you like a preview of the type of girls who’ll be freshmen on the Oregon campus next year?” With this challenge Donna Mary Brennan, chairman of tonight's AWS Nickel Hop invites all men’s organizations to visit as many women’s living organizations as possible from 9 to 12. “The men’s house with the largest group of participants going to the most houses will receive a $4.50 record album donated by the Radio Laboratory, 768 E. Eleventh,” she stated. The milk bottle with the most nickels will win a similar award for a women’s organization. The number of high school girls on the campus for the AWS weekend has exceeded the number anticipated. For the Sunday ex change dinners, a request has been made that each house be informed of the number of guests to expect. Men’s house attendance will be' estimated by means of a list kept at all women’s houses. This list will state the number of men attending each house. “Be sure that you are signed up when you pay your first nickel at the door,” Miss Brennan warns all men. This year’s collecting system will be similar to that used for AWS weekend last year. Five cents will be charged for each 15 minutes of dancing. Subcommittee chairmen for the get-together affair are Shirley Potter, awards; Barbara Stevenson, collections; and Ann Darby, contact. t Sophomores Plan Affair Off-Campus A sophomore class picnic to be held at Swimmers’ Delight two weeks from today has been okayed by the student affairs com mittee, according to Herb Nill, class president, who, with the class of 51 officers, asked the committee for approval of the plan. It will be a semi-sophomore affair, sponsored by the class, with 50c admission charged each person. This is the first time in recent years that a sophomore spon Speaker Dr. Morgan S. Odell, President of Lewis and Clark college in Portland will deliver the Easter sunrise ser mon, “Easter Triple Victory" at 6 a. m. Sunday, in McArthur Court.

Registrar Reveals Figures Odds Still Against Men at Oregon By Gretchen Grondahl Each man now attending the University of Oregon is entitled to 7/16ths of a woman. This revealing information can be discovered by a little arithmetic applied to the figures recently is i sued by Registrar Clifford Con stance on spring term enrollment. According to the report, 3837 men and 1602 women are now at tending the University. The study makes no estimate as to absentee ism from those afflictions peculiar to spring term, such as picnicitis and beach fever. Enrollment is still ahead of last year's figures by a small increase of 3 per cent. Women's enrollment, however, has dropped 5 per cent. This information is expected to launch a serious investigation by live-wire males, alarmed by this po tential decrease in date material. The sophomore class claims the largest enrollment with 1885 stu dents. Of these, 1361 are men and 524 women, making the woman shortage a bit tougher on sopho more men than on the student body as a whole. Things are roughest for junior men, who number 615 as opposed to j only 188 junior women. Upon mature consideration, how ever, these class figures do not real ly make too much difference. To tally disregarding the doleful news, senior men date freshman women and so forth, and parties still seem to be going on. Turning to the breakdown of en rollment by schools, one is at first (Please turn to page two) sored picnic has been held. The class will rent Swimmers’ De light for the afternoon which will include use of two softball diamonds, picnic grounds, swimming floats, dance hall with juke box, and the modern touch of a shufflcboard. Talent from the class of ’51 will provide entertainment at the picnic during the afternoon. The picnic idea was strictly a sophomore plan, and didn't come from a suggestion by the executive council, Nill pointed out, and its success will depend upon support, from the class. Petitions for chairmanships and members of five committees—pro motion, refreshments and food, en tertainment, transportation, and tickets—may be submitted to class officers before 5 p. m. Monday. Class officers include Nill, Theta Chi; vice-president Ed Peterson, Lambda. Chi Alpha; secretary Elea nor Johns, Delta Gamma; and treasurer Don Smith, Campbell Club. Arrangements for the picnic will be in the hands of the committee chairmen and the class officers. Work Begins On SK House Ground was broken yesterday for the new Sigma Kappa soror ity house, to be built lrctweeii the Kappa and Phi Delt houses on J5th Avenue.
