NUMBERS
2 Spots
Filled by
Council
A new senior representative
and a new rally king were se
lected by the ASUO executive
council Friday.
Tom King received the rep
resentative spot, and Ron Sy
mons, junior transfer from Wil
lamette, will be yell king.
King, whose fraternity, Sigma
Alpha Mu, is an AGS house, fills
the vacancy created by the with
drawal of the AGS candidate from
last spring’s election.
Symons, who spent a year as
a yell leader at Willamette, re
places Gerald Kinersley, who re
signed his spot as yell king be
cause of knee injuries.
Junior Rep Open
The Council will fill the junior
representative vacancy at a meet
ing tonight. .
King is an associate editor of
the Emerald, member of Friars,
and president of Sigma Delta Chi,
professional journalism fraternity
for men.
King had received recommenda
tions from both the AGS and the
screening committee, as had the
other two candidates who received
interviews.
Name Junior Tonight
The selection of junior repre
sentative was postponed until this
evening because of the inability
of one candidate to appear for the
interview. Since the petition of
this individual was considered
quite good by the council, it was
decided to allow an interview
Monday evening.
Athletic Cards
Remain Available
Student Athletic Activity
cards can still be picked up
at a special table inside the
north entrance to McArthur
court.
Students must present their
registration cards as evidence
that they have completed en
rollment in school.
The cards are necessary for
students to gain admission to
the Oregon-California football
game in Portland Saturday,
4200 Pass
Pre- Class
I/O Sign-up
Registration totals stood at
about 4200 when pre-class regis
tration ended at noon Saturday in
the Student Union ballroom.
Registrar Clifford R. Constance
said then he expected at least
another 1,000 students to register
during the remaining two weeks
of allowed time.
The 4200 figure was taken from
cash register totals Saturday
noon.
Last year the 4,800 figure was
reached the first Monday after
registration week. The final total
in 1949 was about 6,000. If Con
stances’ expectations prove cor
rect, this year’s student body will
fall about 600 short of the 1949
total.
Registration in Emerald Hall
Beginning today, all register
ing will be done in Emerald hall.
Last day to register for fall term
will be Monday, Oct. 9. That will
also be the last day to make
changes in class programs.
Through Oct. 9, Constance
said, students can change class
sections for particular courses.
After that date, changes can be
made only if they are approved
by advisers and the student must
pay a $1 fine.
• Class Changes
To change sections, students
must follow this procedure:
1. Secure a course-change card,
an instructors’ (class) card and
a drop card from the registrar’s
office.
2. Use the drop card to get out
of the old section.
3. Use the instructors’ card to
get into the new section of the
same course.
4. Use the course-change card
to notify the registrar’s office of
the change of sections.

'Pappy' Has Parry
To Leading Query
Chet “Pappy” Daniels has
the answer to today’s prize
question about the UCLA
Oregon game. He’s one of
Oregon’s first-string guards
and outstanding kicker.
When asked:
“Hey, what happened down
there Saturday afternoon,
Pappy ?”
He drawled in the inimitable
Daniels manner:
“Why. . .didn’t it come out
in the papers?”
Cafeteria Service
Started in SU
Cafeteria service will be inaugu
rated in the Student Union today
with lunch being served from 11:15
to 1:30, according to Mrs. Ruth
Coffey, foods director of the Stu
dent Union.
Dinner will be served from 5:30
p.m. until 7. Breakfast will con
tinue over the soda bar.
In as much as the cafeteria is lo
cated at the east end of the soda
bar, Mrs. Coffey expects some
crowding in the first few days of
operations. “If students can plan
to, arrive before the noqn rush
hour, service will be speeded con
siderably,” she stated, “and' peo
ple eating at the soda bar will not
be crowded.”
Mrs. Coffey also requested that
patrons have some idea of what
they will order before entering the
cafeteria. The menu can be seen
from the outside, before picking up
trays.
Miss Mary Jane McCloskey is
manager of the cafeteria.
People desiring only coffee at
anytime are requested by Mrs.
coffey to wait for service at either
end of the soda bar instead of in
the middle of the counter.
Still to open in the Student
Union are the dining room and
the catering service.
Incoming Director of Men's Affairs
Puts Emphasis on Giving Assistance
There’s a change in the Office
of Men's Affairs this year.
He’s Norman Ray Hawk, who
prefers to be known as “Ray.”
He replaces Vergil Fogdall, who
has held the office of director of
men’s affairs for the past three
years.
Fogdall has accepted a position
as director of students at Lewis
and Clark College.
University Graduate
The new man who will be re
sponsible for administering the
University’s discipline code for
men is a graduate of the Univer
sity, having received a doctor of
education degree in 1949.
Hawk was a major in the Air
Force during the war and present
ly holds that rank in the Air Force
Reserve. He served as counsellor'
of men under Fogdall during the
latter’s three years as director of
men’s affairs.
There’s one point Hawk would
like to get across while he’s dean
of men: he wants the students
to take the attitude that they are
coming to the office for help and
KAY HAWK
advice rather than the feeling
they are being called “on the
carpet”.
He points out, however, that
one “notorious” discipline case
gets around the campus much
like to get across while he's dean
of men: h*e wants the students
to take the attitude that they are
coming to the office for help and
faster than a hundred lesser cases.
Therefore, a feeling of hostility
sometimes rears up against the
office.
Understanding Important
But Hawk's idea is that students
often need more “understanding”
than discipline.
Fellows who would rather take
their best girl out Saturday in
stead of studying for a Monday
examination will receive an under
standing nod from the new dean
of men—just so they don't go too
far.
He's even willing to admit that
there were times in his college I
career that his grades had their
“ups and downs, too”.
Council, SU Board
Ask Friday Night
la.m. Closing Hour
Oregon may have 1 o'clock closing hours on Friday nights if
legislation before the University’s Student Affairs committee is
approved at the committee's next meeting early in October.
ASL O President Barry Mountain asked the board to consider
the move after it was approved by members of both the ASUO
Executive Council and the Student Union Board.
Oregon is the only large school on the Pacific coast which has
j- iiucvy uiusmg iiours as eany as
12:15, according to Mountain.
Oregon State has had 1 o’clock
hours on Friday nights for two
years.
The Student Affairs committee,
made up of four student and six
faculty members, tabled the pro
posal at Friday's meeting because
of the absence of Mrs. Golda P.
Wickham and two student mem
bers.
Two-fold In Purpose
The proposal, which has arisen
at various times for the last seve
ral years, is two-fold in purpose,
Mountain said Friday.
Oregon’s crowded social schedule
would get relief under the later
hour, for one thing. It would mean
that many big-name dance bands
passing through Eugene could be
engaged on Saturday nights which
otherwise would' be filled with
house-dance dates.
The house-dances could then be
held on Friday nights.
Later SU Hours
The other purpose which Moun
tain said he had in mind would
be an extra 45 minutes of busi
ness for the Student Union. While
not a long period of time, this
extra 45 minutes could amount to

New Column
For Old Gossip
The gossip column, as such, is
dead.
A new feature, dubbed “Cam
pus Merry-go-round,” is designed
to carry all the campus news that
is news to Emerald readers with
out falling into the disgrace of
being labeled “gossip.”
The “Merry-go-round”, which
is tentatively scheduled for inaug
uration Friday, will report all
phases of news that pertains to
each living organization, with the
exception of sports.
All University living groups will
be contacted individually this
week, and informed of just what
the “Merry-go-round” is interest
ed in printing, and how the news
items are to be channeled to the
Emerald.
Fundamentally, the most im
portant feature of the column is
that each living group is respon
sible for its own coverage. One
member or contact should be de
signated by each group, so that the
individual may become familiar
with Emerald requirements.
Under the “Merry-go-round”
plan no group can register a com
plaint about unfair coverage since
it will be up to each and every
living organization to keep itself
in the news.
'Crusade' Starts
At UO Today
The National Crusade for Free
dom will start on the Oregon
campus today, Lyle Nelson, direct
or of public service, said Saturday.
Pledge scrolls will be placed in
every campus building and liv
ing organizations, and will be cir
culated to all off-campus students.
Purpose of the Crusade is to
obtain signatures on scrolls which
will be sent to Germany next
month and sealed in a Freedom
shrine.
Plans have not been completed
'for 'circulating the petitions on
campus.
Several members of the Uni
versity faculty are active in the
county and state branches of the
movement. President Harry New
bum is a member of the state
committee, and Frederick M.
Hunter, Honorary Chancellor of
the State System of Higher Edu
cation is co-chairman, with James
H. Gilbert, Dean Emeritus of the
College of Liberal Arts of the,
University, of the Lane county
committee.
Dr. McCall of the speech de
partment is in charge of the
speakers bureau, and Dr. Edna
Landros is in charge of the group
contacting all women’s clubs. —
