SU Committees List Work Opportunities For Those Interested Planning music programs, organizing tournaments, and ar ranging art and drama forums are among the opportunities open in the new student union to those who petition for membership on student union committees before 5 p.m. Friday. Petitions are now available at the office of Olga Yevtich, program director, in room 301, Student Union, for membership on six standing committees. All interested students may take part in the planning of stu dent union activities by petition- [ -—— ing for a position on any of the following committees: House and ^ules, Ballroom, Cultural Area, Interview and Referral, Publicity, and Recreational. In urging students to apply for positions on these committees, Student Union officials pointed out that petitioners should feel a real interest in working for the Student Union because these com mittees are new and policies and patterns of future years will be set by the work they do this year. The House and Rules commit tee, headed by Chairman Dick Lee, will serve as an advisory body to suggest possible remedies to bene fit the student body as a whole. One woman and one man from the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes will be selected. Members of the committee must have enough free time to enable them to spend one hour each day at the Student Union, it was point ed out. The Ballroom committee, under the direction of Chairman Jane Wiggen, needs students who have ideas and time to spend on de veloping movie programs, mixers and concerts. Knowledge of dance bands, entertainment groups, poster work and campus activi ties may be necessary.

Executive Council Appoints Rodway Dave Rodway was named junior represntative to the ASUO Executh e Council at a meeting' of tlie student governing body Monday night, bringing the council to its full membership quota. Tom King, senior in journalism, was selected as senior rep resentative by the council last week. Both placements were made to till vacancies left by the withdrawal of two Associated Greek Student candidates from student body elections last spring. Runners-up for the junior position were Tom Barry and Mary Hall. Rodway suggested publication of the ASUO budget as a Enrollment Hits 4,498 Monday Total approximate registration as of Monday evening had mounted to 4,498 with 260 registering Mon day.

Advisory Committee to Work With Athletic Director Harris A student advisory committee to the athletic director will func tion this year for the first time at the University. Athletic Director Leo A. Har ris has announced that the com mttee—which will be “purely ad visory”—will meet within the next two weeks. Membership was de cided by Harris and ASUO Presi dent Barry Mountain. Members will be the AWS Pre sident Barbara Stevenson, Order of the “O” President Don Peter son, ASUO President Barry Moun tain, Emerald Editor Anita Holmes, Vice President of the Executive Council Herb Nill, Inter-frater nity council president and Inter dorm council president.

He explained that the purpose of the committee will be to bring complaints and suggestions from the students to the athletic de partment. It will serve as a liai son between the students and ath letic department. This committee is not pattern ed after the athletic board of con trol which was active prior to 1946, Harris added. He is also establishing an alum ni advisory committee to repre sent alumni from all sections of the state. (Also see edit page.) ^Aall Development Sparks Growth Of New University Building Program Oregon’s ever-changing campus was taking on new looks this week to match new students, new build ings and new times. Top on the list of major changes is the landscaping being done in extending the east-west mall be tween Hendricks hall and Faculty club. The mall, presently built only between Chapman hall and the Oriental museum, is being extend ed east to University Street. En trance to Susan Campbell and Johnson hall parking lots will be from University street between the two sidewalks of the mall. The old entrance, from 13th street will be closed off. Mall Extended Decision to extend the mall and remove several trees, considerable shrubbery and the Faculty club garage was made by the campus fanning committee, according to f. I. Wright, superintendant of the physical plant. This work, according to Wright, will be finished by next week. Grass will be seeded in the bare space left in the near future. The old drama shack which formerly stood behind Johnson hall and was being used to house a teach er placement service, was moved near University high school to make room for the mall. Biggest Improvement Many University officials, Wright said recently, term the mall extension the biggest im provement on the campus in years. Elsewhere on the campus, land scaping around the new library addition and the Student Union building will be completed and lawns planted this fall. The rebuilt north and center sections of Friendly hall will be ready for classes next week, Wright said. These parts of the building house the foreign langu age and English departments. Other remodeling work on the building will continue this term as class schedules will permit. The frame south wing of Friend ly will be removed sometime this term. It formerly housed the Alumni and Old Oregon offices, which have been moved to the SU. Library Addition At the other end of the campus, the library addition is swinging into the final stages, $id some equipment was being moved in this week, but Wright said there is still “plenty of work to do.” Opening date of the new libe has not yet been determined. Across the millrace, near the University warehouse, the new heating plant is rapidly nearing completion. Boilers will be ope rating some time in November, Wright said, if everything goes according to schedule. Heating Plant A new twist at the heating plant will be electric generators which, powered by steam, will supply the University with its own supply of power. This will eliminate any weak-sounding bells and slow clocks such as were caused last winter by low volt ages when turbines in the area were overloaded. Construction ot the huge “L" shaped science building on lower University street is proceeding practically on schedule and should be ready for classes by this time next year, Wright hoped this week. So far, he added, the Korean war situation has caused shortages of only minor materials in the University’s building program. But he said shortages of more critical materials may develop at any time in the future so long as the emergency continues. Physical plant offices are now in the warehouse across the mill race. The former quarters, in the old heating plant on the campus, will be occupied by weaving and jewelry classes of the Architecture school. means of making- students feel closer to tlieir governing- body; activation of Druids, junior men’s service honorary; simplification of registration; clearing up of men's rushing rules; and the reinstate ment of the Oregon picnic, pos sibly as an ASUO function. The picnic was formerly sponsored by alumni. Named to the ASUO rally board were James Fenimore, senior; Ani ta Frost, junior; and Jim Cris mon, sophomore, with Herb Nill, ASUO first vice president, as ex ecultive council member appoint ed to sit with the board. The board will choose its own chair man. Suggestions for rallies included snowball rallies followed by dances in the Student Unipn; halftime skits; and more varied rallies. The council went on «record as favoring the plan of haying an all male yell squad, assisted by aa all-male song squad to lead songs at games and rallies. Adopting- the Freedom Declara tion, the council voted to promote the nationwide Crusade for Free dom on the Oregon campus this week. Presidents of all campus living organizations were requested to pick up copies of the Crusade for Freedom petition Tuesday for cir culation in their living groups. Petitions are available in the ASUO office, Student Union build ing. Booths will also be placed in the Co-op, Student Union, and lib rary. Oregon’s goal in the campaign is 5,400 signatures, Student Body President Barry Mountain ex plained. Each petition contains space for 100 names. The possibility of introducing intramural boxing at Oregon, with, the possibility of development in to a varsity sport, is still being investigated, Nill said. Boxing tournaments would be, a good means of getting more (Please turn to fiaqe five) Bibby to Open Lecture Series At 7:30 Tonight Cyril Bibby, health education au thority, will open the 1950-51 Uni versity Lecture Series tonight with his address entitled “Sex and Family Life Education in Britain.” The lecture intended for faculty and students alike is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in 207 Chapman Hall and is financed by the E.
