IDC Censures Dorm Shuffling A resolution expressing the Inter-dormitory Council's disap proval of the present shuffling of dormitory residents was approved at the Council meeting Tuesday night. The shuffling forces dormitory residents to fill each multiple room to its capacity, leaving other rooms vacant. Reasons for making the change are "erroneous” or “inadequate” the resolution stated. Reasons given by the University are (1) it is unfair to students living in single rooms. (2) “We’ve done this for twenty years,” and (3) “It’s just business-like.” The IDC says it is not unfair to students living in single rooms be cause they are pcfying for and have been receiving single accomoda tions. ' It is the student in the multiple rooms who are being treated un fairly, the resolution said, because these students paid the full room rent when there were more persons than accomodations. The second reason is disputed because this is the first time the problem has been presented under present conditions. Five points were given by the IDC as to why the change will not be businesslike: (1) Money would be necessary to keep the vacant rooms clean and pilfering would be prevalent. (2) Over-night leasing of rooms to guests- planned by,the University -would disrupt unity and destroy “hominess.” (3) The shuffling ia inconvenient. (4) Guests will re ceive more hospitality as a guest of a dorm resident than a lodger in an empty room. (5) The plan made un favorable publicity when the high schoolers were down for “Duck Preview." The IDC will request a state ment from the Administration rel ative to the future dorm policy. •> Candidates for Royality Nancy By GRETCHEN GRONDAHL Tall, poised sparkling-eyed Nancy Chamberlain, Junior Weekend court finalist, is look ing forward to becoming a sec ondary-school English and Spanish teacher. “I'll be practice teaching in Eugene next winter term, and am learning now in my Princi ples of Teaching course how to make outlines for class study,” she says enthusiastically.
