Board Sets
Pledging,
Dorm Rules
Dormitory and pledging rules
were set down by a joint committee
of the Women’s Dormitory Govern
ing Board and Panhellenic at a
meeting Tuesday night.
Beginning Oct. 9, pledges will not
be allowed to go to desserts at sor
orities. They may go to their
houses for desserts tonight. Pledges
will remain at their dormitories for
the Bunion Derby.
Formal pledging will be on week
ends, or times not interfering with
study hours, the group decided.
^However, this will not affect dates
already announced to pledges. The
ruling will go into effect Oct. 8.
No Coke Dates
Freshman women will not be al
lowed coke dates Sunday through
Thursday nights. They will always
be in the dormitories for study
hours unless special permission is
granted. Permission will be given
for recognized cultural events.
Pledges may go to their houses
for dinner every first and third
Monday. They must stay there un
til 10 p. m. so their return will not
disturb study hours. Pledges may
go to their houses for lunches and
dinners, if they don’t miss a dormi
tory meeting or study hours.
Dormitory meetings will be held
every second and fourth Monday.
One Weekend At Houses
Pledges may spend one weekend
per term at their houses. All fresh
man women are allowed three
weekends off campus. If the pled
ges wish to substitute one, or all,
of their off-campus permissions to
stay at their sororities they may do
so.
During Homecoming activities,
all freshmen will work for their
dormitory. Pledges may partici
pate in Junior Weekend for their
houses, with the exception of the
all-campus sing.
Attend House Dances
House dance work will be done
by active sorority members, but
pledges may attend. If dormitory
and house dances conflict, pledges
are allowed to make their choice,
Mr attend both.
Founder’s Day banquets at the
houses must end by 7:30 p. m.
Pledges may enter intramural
sports with their sororities.
Five On Board
The Women’s Dormitory Govern
ing Board is composed of the three
dormitory presidents, one councilor
and one housemother.
The council will meet again at 6
p. m. Oct. 10.
Conflict on Dates
Postpones Dance
Due to the date conflict with
the Bunion Derby Friday night,
the “campus night’’ dance at
Willamette Park has been can
celed by Tom Barry, student man
ager of the park.
The first of the “campus nights”
series will be Oct. 20 if conditions
permit.
"Students should give full co
operation and attention to make
the Bunion Derby a complete suc
cess,” Barry said. “We feel that
any student activity such as this
Reserves priority.”

It's for You' YW Slogan
“It’s for You!” is the byword
of the University YWCA, which
moves into the third day of its
1950 membership drive with soli
citations in women’s living organ
izations today.
The drive, which began Mon
day, is designed to make women
aware of the “Y” and its possibili
ties, according to Beverly Buck
ley Robathan, YWCA president.
YWCA junior advisors and
members of sophomore and sen
ior cabinets are visiting all wom
en’s living groups this week ex
plaining opportunities for fresh
men and transfers in the YW.
New students will be welcomed
into the organization at informal
open houses 3 to 5 p. m. today
and Thursday at YWCA head
quarters, Gerlinger. Women who
have not been notified by Duck
ling counselors are urged to at
tend and get acquainted with the
"Y", Lois Greenwood, executive
director of the YW, said.
The traditional membership
drive this year marks the begin
ning of the 56th year of the YWCA
on the campus. The organization
began with fewer than 20 mem
bers in 1894, and gained steadily
in membership, aided by Louella
Clay Carson, then dean of women.
Membership chairman of the
YWCA is Carolyn Silva, who is
conducting the drive. Lois Ann
Smith is drive chairmen in wom
en's residence halls.
afternoon and evening as possible.
Jim Crismon, who is to conduct
the tryouts, stated that band
music will be available and that
the girls will be asked to march
and clap to the rhythm. The
board will interview each girl
concerning her ideas and experi
ence. The only vocal requirement
is an average voice.
The song queen squad that will
be selected from these candidates
will be the first of its type at
Oregon. In the past there has
been but one rally squad compos
ed of men and women who led both
the yells and songs. This year the
yell squad is strictly male, leav
ing the song leading to the femin
ine five. Oregon is one of the last
of the larger coast schools to
adopt the male yell squad setup.
Greater endurance is one of the
greater advantages of the male
squad.

OSC 1 a. m. Hours
Checked by Hawk
Ray Hawk, director of men's
affairs, was in Corvallis Monday
checking and gathering informa
tion on OSC’s 1 a. m. weekend
closing hours.
He had no comments to make
Tuesday on what he learned.
However, he said the student
affairs committee would meet
sometime this week to discuss the
matter. No date has been set for
the meeting.
Vacancies
Discussion
Scheduled
The Executive Council will meet
Monday to determine what will b«
done about vacancies created
when former presidents of tho,
sophomore and junior classes were
declared ineligible.
Records disclosed earlier thla
week that Joe Kiaser and Vernon
Beard, the ousted officers, were
scholastically not eligible to hold
any elective or appointive position
this term. According to the regist
rar’s office, neither made the nec
essary 2. GPA spring term.
This automatically moved tho
vice-presidents into the two top
positions in conformity with the
ASUO constitution. Helen Jackson
took over as sophomore class presi
dent in place of Kiaser, and Beard’s
office was filled by Willy Dodds.
Barry Mountain, ASUO presi
dent, confirmed the move by tele
phone to the Emerald Tuesday.
He said that the Executive Coun
cil would decide in its Monday
meeting whether or not the two
classes would elect new vice-pre
sidents. If the Council does not re
commend another election, Moun
tain said, the issue would be de
cided by the class officers.
