Closing
Waivers
Possible
Exceptions to Friday night clos
ing hours at 12:15 a.m. may be
granted for the campus in special
cases, Ray HawljC, Director of Men’s
Affairs, said Wednesday.
“Although the Student Affairs
Committee cannot make a blankel
policy granting 1 a.m. closing time
for Friday, the extra 45 minutes
may be added in cases when late
closing seems necessary,” Hawk
who is a member of the committee
(Stated.
Such cases might include house
dances and other events on a so
called “jammed” week-end. Late
hours on both Friday and Saturday
would make it possible to have
dances both nights, Hawk pointed
out.
Such a decision by the committee
would be temporary until the Board
of Deans can act on the proposal.
However, the board must consider
the matter of Saturday classes be
fore discussing closing hours.

Honorary
To Explain
Activities
Freshman activity-orientation
program begins today.
In co-ordination with the Asso
ciated Women Student Council’s
new fall program, members of
Kwama, sophomore women's ser
vice honorary, are meeting per
sonally with new students on cam
pus to explain the petition process
and outline various activities open
to women at the University.
An assembly meeting for all
women students living either in
co-ops or homes off campus will
be conducted by Kwama presi
dent Frances Gillmore at 4 p. m
today in the Student Union build
ing’.
Several members of Kwama
will be on hand to answer ques
tions of new students concerning
activities, and how to enter them.
Kwamas will be present at floor
meetings from 6:30-7:30 p. m. to
night in Carson; hall meetings in
Hendricks and Susan Campbell;
house meetings in Rebec, High
land, and Ann Judson for orienta
tion purposes.
“It is the desire of the
Kwamas,” Miss Gillmore empha
sized, “that this discussion of the
activities on campus will enable a
new group of persons heretofore
passed over in the activity events,
to enjoy the many-sided college
life offered.”
7.93 Men
Per Woman
The latest victim of modern
civilization—is none other than
the age-old tradition that for
every man there’s a woman, and
vise versa. Registrar Clifford
L. Constance just released re
gistration statistics which indi
cate that there are 1.93 men on
campus for every woman.
This means that every woman
has approximately two men—
less a rather perturbing .07 per
cent which presumably belongs
to some other woman. Registrar
Constance did not comment on
the .07 of a man.
UO Frosh Elections,
Homecoming Man
Decided by ASUO
Tom Barry, junior in political science, was named 1950 Home
coming chairman with Joe Labodie, senior in business adminis
tiation, as assistant chairman by the ASUO Executive Council
Wednesday night.
The council also voted to hold freshman class elections some
time during this fall term, in order to give the class a stronsr or
gamzauon as soon as possible.
Freshman elections have been held
during winter term since the war.
Early Frosh Elections
Election details will be worked
out by a committee, consisting of
Herb Nill, Eve Overbade, and
Joanne Fitzmaurice.
A total of 189 petitions were
submitted for various Homecom
ing positions, but Barry and La
bodie were the only petitioners
for the general chairmanship.
“We'll make every effort to use
each of the petitioners in the
Homecoming setup,’’ Barry stat
ed when informed of his appoint
ment.
Barry, a member of the Stu
dent Discipline Committee, has
had previous experience on Home
coming and Junior Weekend com
mittees. Labodie has served in
various positions including co
chairman of the Junior Weekend
All-Campus Picnic.
Suggestions Given
Barry’s suggestions included
early appointment of committees;
adherence to budget; promotion
at football games; and better
known judges for Homecoming
contests. Special committees sug
gested by the chairman include
hospitality for dignitaries; radio
promotion; and Student Union
dedication.
Labodie suggested centering
more attention on alumni return
ing to the campus for the celebra
tion.
Labodie also suggested pairing
of men’s living organizations to
sponsor queen candidates and or
ganization of a serpentine dance
or torchlight parade to build up
enthusiasm early in the week.
Abolish Segregation ?
The council considered the pos
sibility of abolishing segregation
of men and women rooters at foot
ball games, to increase spirit and
cut down on possible profanity.
Inter-fraternity Council Extends
Initiation Period to Four Weeks
Initiation period for fraternities
was extended from the first two
weeks of school to the first four
weeks by.action taken in the Inter
fraternity Council meeting Tues
day night at the Phi Delta Theta
house.
Action to fill the vacancy of
vice-president of the IFC, left
when Bill Harbor, former Vice
president, assumed the presidency
of the group, was postponed until
j the next regular meeting.
The extension of the initiation
period was made necessary due
to a mistake in printing the IFC
constitution. The unanimous opin
ion of the members of the group
was that their understanding was
a four-week period for initiation
but somehow the constitution was
printed to read only two weeks.
In a report to the IFC, Glen
Holden, former president, said
that the president of the Inter
dorm Council had expressed the
desire for the fraternities to have
an open house with no specific
rushing to acquaint the new stu
dents with the fraternities. Hold
en later said that open rushing
was impossible because of finan
cial and social reasons. A deci
i sion on the matter was postpon
ed until the next meeting.
May 20, 1950 was the date de
cided upon by the group to be the
deadline before which persons
must have been pledges to be eligi
ble for initiation this fall.
Other action taken by the group
included; changing the date from
Oct. 9 to Oct. 4 for pledging men
eligible to pledge this fall. A pro
posal for wholesale grocery buy
ing by the combined fraternity
houses was turned over to the
house managers. The establish
ment of the position of publicity
chairman to promote publicity for
all fraternities was postponed un
til the next meeting.
