Homecoming Dance Tonight at Nine Protests Flare Over DuShane Plan Johnson Will Check Card Stunts By KEN METZLER Protest against the deferred living plan broke in the open Friday when many fraternities ^ erected Homecoming signs with a “beat the DuShane plan” theme. Rumors that fraternities would promote a chant and card stunts designed to incite alumni action remained uncon firmed last night but ASUO President Art Johnson said he would personally try to stop any such attempt. “I’ll be down in the flashcard section myself and if anything like that happens I’ll try to stop it personally,” Johnson said. NO PLAN A check with fraternity house presidents revealed no movement underway to start a chant in the cheering section against the plan. One president expressed belief that it would start spontaneously. Jerry Kinersley, chairman of the flashcard committee, said he knew nothing of the rumor about card stunts. Asked whether he would deny that any arrangements have been made, he said: “No, I won’t make an official denial—I just won’t say anything because I don’t know anything about it.” COUNCIL OPPOSES The “DuShane plan,” so-called because of its sponsor, Donald M. DuShane, director of student af r fairs, was also opposed by the Interfraternity Council which re cently released a mimeographed bulletin setting forth the council’s views. Main fraternity argument is that the University administration put through the plan without adequate representation of houses and dorms. House presidents of most fraternities and sororities con tacted by the Emerald felt the problem of adjusting to deferred living would not be extensive. But, as one fraternity man put it, “they’re cramming something down our throats.” DuShane told the Emerald yes terday that he felt it would be more honest to tell living organi zations of the objectives of the plan with details to be made later than to ask student opinion know ing full well that the policy was to go into effect. STILL IN EFFECT A statement from University President Harry K. Newburn re leased yesterday said: “. . . The educational reasons for adoption of this plan are the same now as they were then (last Janu ary when DuShane announced the plan had been put off until fall of 1950) and, of course, it still is in effect.” Representative of the signs erec (Please turn to page 13) n Hath/ EMERALD Welcomes Alumni HOMECOMING HOSTESS MARGUERITE Johns will be on hand to greet returning Oregon alumni today.
