losing his University registration

court after two warnings sent
this case to the office. Last week
there were six similar cases. That
authority has the power to take
steps up to and including suspen
sion of registration.

One of the six cases sent last
week was fined $4; another who
has refused to report to the Of
fice may lose registration. Other
cases are in the process of settle

A total of $13 in fines was col

Five students posted $1 bail in the
Office of Student Affairs and four
appeared before the court.

One of the students who ap
peared will get a rehearing next

two charges and fined $2. Two
others were fined $1 each.
Two students will receive their
second Warning cards this week.
If they fail to appear before the
court at its meeting next Tuesday,
their cases will be turned over to
Student Affairs.
Dean Receives
Renewed Grant
R. B. Dean, assistant professor
of chemistry, has received renewal
of a $600 research grant donated
by the Kerr Dental Manufacturing
Company of Detroit.
Dean received the first grant
October, 1948. It has been renewed
to enable him to continue research
on dental cement. The grant may
be used by him in any way he feels
necessary for his research.
Shirley Ebbe, senior in chemis
try, is undergraduate research as
sistant to Dean.
The research involves preparing
a dental cement with the same
chemical structure as that of the
tooth itself.
Thanksgiving Exodus Beginning
As Students Trek Homeward
The last great fall term student exodus from the campus begins to
day as students leave Eugene to spend "Turkey Day” at home.
Class cancellations through Saturday leave the way clear for
hundreds of Oregon students bent on a four-day holiday.
Remaining reminder of scholarly pursuits, the library, will be open
Fiiday and Saturday to accomodate persons combining feasting with
bookwork. Campus living organizations, however, will be all but desert
ed until Monday.
The four-day i*etreat is to have a cataclysmic sequel, however: final
examinations begin on December 15, a short seventeen days from Mon
day.
Eugene itself will observe Thanksgiving in the accustomed commer
cial manner: Christmas decorations are going up along Williamette
street, and the number of shopping days until the Yule season has been
carefully tabulated.
Meanwhile, the weather bureau has added its pessimistic voice in a
week-end forecast: "rainy and cloudy” for the entire state of Oregon.
. And classes will begin, as is customary, at 8 o'clock a.m. on Mon
day.

Oregana to Emphasize University Expansion;
More Pages, New Cover, Art Work Planned
Growth of the University will be
one of the main themes of the 1950
Oregana, Editor Larry Davidson
said yesterday in a general report
on the yearbook.
“With all the new buildings, and
the general expansion and im
provement of the school, I feel
that we should have an annual to
match the tempo,” Davidson
stated. “It’s with this idea in mind
that we’re editing the book.”
SEVERAL INNOVATIONS
Several innovations will appear
in next year's Oregana. Among
them will be a new treatment
given to the cover. The customary
four-color picture will be retained,
but with a difference. That differ
ence is an Oregana secret.
The 1950 edition will be larger
than the previous one. It will total
408 pages. Only the 1949 Oregana,
424 pages, was larger.
“Even with the added pages, it’s
a tight fit,” Davidson declared.
“Several new campus organiza
tions have purchased space in the
book.”
COMPLETE 60 PAGES
By the end of the term the staff
will have completed 60 pages.
These include activities of last
spring, summer session, and fall
term through Homecoming.
Layouts on the living organiza
tions section will begin winter
term. Two separate layouts will
be used for men’s and women’s or
1
ganizations. The men’s section will
be done with green second color,
the women’s with red.
HIGH CALIBRE ART WORK
“One of the big reasons for the
expected success of the book is
the high calibre of our art work,”
explained Davidson. “We are in
cluding appropriate sketches along
with our layouts.”
Art work is under the super
vision of Shirley Gilbert, who is
also technical adviser.
The business side of the Ore
gana reports 3510 copies of the
book sold so far this year—nearly
300 more than at the same time
last year. During the recent Ore
gana “late sales” drive, 400 copies
were sold.
toix coeds were named Tuesday
by Phi Sigma Kappa as finalists
in the annual "Moonlight Girl”
contest.
Photographs determined the
choice of the six from the 25 can
didates submitted by women’s liv
ing organizations.
FINALISTS LIST
Finalists are Haroldine Filler,
Alpha Delta Pi; Mary Knox, Alpha
Phi; Dolores Stenerson, Alpha
Omicron Pi; Pat Gately, Delta
Delta Delta; Joan Zener, Delta
Gamma; and Beverly Sorenson,
Carson Number 4.
The winner will be announced
at the Phi Sigma Kappa house
dance Dec. 10.
The six finalists will be guests
of the fraternity at dinner next
week. Selection of the winner will
be made after this dinner.

IDC Group
Favors Late
Pledging
Says Deferred Rushing
Vital to DuShane Plan
The Interdorinitory Council
is unalterably opposed to the
deferred living plan unless it
includes deferred r u s h i n g.
Council President Victor Fry
er said Tuesday.
'Flic council does not merely
“favor inclusion” of deferred rush
ing as stated in Tuesday's Emer
ald, Fryer said.
TEXT OF LETTERS
University President Harry K.
Newburn and the Office of Stu
dent Affairs received letters yes
terday which were drafted by the
group. They said:
“We unanimously approve the
basic concepts of the ‘DuShano
Plan.’ However, we do not believe
that, the plan is workable or ac
ceptable to the majority of the
dormitory students unless deferred
rushing is incorporated.
“In voting for deferred rushing
the council also unanimously ad
vocated that the rushing be post
poned until the beginning of a
student’s sophomore year in a
manner similar to the present
rush week.”
President Newburn told the Em
erald yesterday that the Univer
sity administration would work
out the details of its policy with
the students, but that he person
ally favored deferred rushing.
WORK WITH STUDENTS
“We arc committed to working
it out with the students and we in
tend to abide by that basic policy,”
Mr. Newburn said.
He added that it would be “a
better policy from every viewpoint
if the plan were coupled with de
ferred rushing.”
Fred Van Horn, president of the
Interfraternity Council said Tues
day that the group had been con
sidering the “ramifications of the
plan” for some time.
He said the council will meet
Dec. 1 and probably set up formal
machinery for meeting with other
living organization groups.
