A. «.fev. Reporter Learns Barry Mountain Busy Person as ASUO President By Walt Graydon If you can put your finger on one thing that dominates the life of Barry Mountain, it’s being just plain busy. As I approached the glass fronted office of the ASUO presi dent, I noticed that he was talk ing rapidly to another person. He didn’t let me linger a minute, but waved me in and nodded me toward a chair. I settled down and started to look over the office. The table next to me was piled high with Crusade for Freedom scrolls. My observations were cut short as Mountain turned in his chair, ready for my questions. Busy Fellow “I hear that you’re pretty busy?” I asked as a feeler. Mountain grinned and said, “That’s not far from wrong, but I don’t want anyone to get the idea that I’m running all over the campus like a madman, because I’m not. Actually I spend most of my time right here in this office.” Student Union Board, rallies, OSC game tickets, assemblies, Executive Council meetings—have all called for his attention. He said, “this could really be a full-time job.” Wants Progressive Government “Of course,” said the president, “I didn’t realize how busy I would be when I was elected, but this University has an active build ing and expansion program going on which shows that the school is progressive. I want the stu dent government to be just as progressive.” Mountain motioned a big fel low inside and they started talk ing. I gazed around waiting, sud emerald TODAY'S STAFF Assistant Managing Editor: Fred Vosper Desk Editor: Bill Frye Desk Staff: Fenton Butler, Judy McLoughlin NIGHT STAFF Night Editor: Sarah Turnbull Night Staff: Phil Bettens, Betty Brown, Pat Word, Sue Riddles barger, Jean Busserbet, John Wel cer.

Still “infirm” are Anne Good man, Suzanne Cocheram. Wallace Humphries, James Stephens, and Dennis Sullivan. denly I realized that he was answering my last question and that I had missed several phrases. He managed this two-way ques tioning for several minutes. “We have established a new BARKY MOUNTAIN Intra-mural program this year,’ he said, “that will give represent ation to the Intra-Fraternity Coun cil and the Inter-Dorm Counci: and provide a closer method o) liaison between these groups anc the directors. “We have also planned to hole periodic banquets for all house presidents and key members of the administration so anyone with a gripe can get it straightened out.” “And another thing, we want to revive more of the University’s tradition before it’s just history,” he added. The telephone rang; Mountain began talking and checking a list and still kept answering my ques tion. (He was scheduled to leave for Portland 20 minutes later to make last minute arrangements for the California game.) Mixed Up In Everything “If you want a summary of what I’m doing,” he said, “it would be something like this: Wherever there is something go ing on that concerns the students, I’m mixed up in it. There’s lots of things that we can do for the students.” This is Mountain’s senior year, and he’s majoring in political science. He’s carrying 12 hours this term and is attending all of his classes; however, he hasn’t had time to go through the formal registration procedure yet. As I left the president’s office, he said, “Drop in anytime—this office is open to everyone. I should have a schedule posted next week indicating when I will be there.” Mother's Tea Set Saturday in Eugene The Portland Mother’s Tea will be held in Eugene Saturday, Oct. 21. Scholarship plans will be dis cussed at that time including those such as the Erb Memorial Scholar ship endowment fund. Mrs. Owen Bentley of Portland is the presi dent. All Oregon mothers in the Eu gene area are invited. Draft Causes Fe^j House Vacancies All fraternities on the campus are in a better position than anti cipated because of vacancies caus ed by the draft, according to Ray Hawk, director of men’s affairs. Only two houses have a great many vacancies and they are in good financial condition so will not suffer greatly until the vacan cies can be filled, Hawk said. WELCOME U. of O. STUDENTS 9:45 a.ni.
