Speaking Opportunities Discussed by Symposium Opportunities for student speak ers to address clubs and schools throughout the state were revealed Tuesday night at a meeting of the symposium group in Villard. Participants in extra-curricular speech engagements are^Jffeken from this group. The requirements for membership are an interest in public speaking and willingness to do research work. In explaining the philosophy be hind speaking experience Herman Cohen, co-director of forensics, said, “Besides improving one’s ef fectiveness in meeting the public, it will aid in developing an open and analytical point of viejy and helps to gain understanding of to day's nroblems.” Full Schedule Ahead Although speakers face a full schedule of 00 to 75 engagements during winter and spring terms, it has been planned so that each ap pearance will offer chances to meet the audiences and get acquainted with all types of people in the north west and California. Each student must be prepared to speak on "The Columbia Valley Administration” and either "The Welfare State” or “An Internation al Alliance of Non-Communist Na tions.” Clubs desiring to hear Uni versity orators can specify their choice of these subjects. Main Types Listed Debate, oratory, symposium, and extemporaneous speaking will be the main types; but W. A. Dahl berg, who presided over the meet ing with Cohen, stressed that “Any Gl’s, foreign students, or pupils with unusual experiences are invit ed to join the speaker’s bureau, a supplementary group of the symp osium, and will have opportunities to appear, all expenses paid, before church clubs, service organizations, and schools in and around Oregon.” Another attraction to promising orators is choosing of two speak ers to attend the convention of Del ta Sigma Rho, debate honorary uext April, in Chicago.

Dateless! That’s what the men polled today said, when asked for their opinion concerning the new restrictions on freshman women pledges. The women, blushing, modest creatures, for the most part approved of this addition to their already sheltered existence. A1 Riasanovsky—senior in libe ral arts—“A darn silly idea!” Donna Beddle—freshman in libe ral arts—“I can’t see that it will do anyone any good.” A1 Benson—freshman in busi ness administration—“I think that it’s rough on the men, but good for the women.” Jack Gitchell—sophomore in business administration—“I think that they’re nuts!” Anne Graham—sophomore in liberal arts—-“Students need some type of guidance during their first year.” Pete Quinn—freshman in busi ness administration—“A poor idea. Freshmen girls only get out two nights a week now and the new rules give them even less time with the boys.” Joanne Hite—sophomore in lib eral arts—“I think that the rules are pretty fair. The study rules are good. I think that they should be able to go to dinner at their houses at least once a week.” Jack Reading—senior in busi ness administration—“I think that they are too stringent. While dorm relationships should be held up, I think that they should be allowed more time at their sorori ties.” Civic Music Program Set The Civic Music Association has announced its program for this year, which follows: Oct. 7, Artur Rubinstein, pian ist.

Finely pleated all-round plaid skirts are snowing themselves as top favorites. Because in most cases the pleats are baked in, there is no chance of their “sitting out.” Plaid belts with shoes to match are also top news. They make last year’s skirt and sweater look like a completely new outfit, and what could be more practical for the college girl on a budget? Plaid blouses and coats and plaid trim on suits, coats, and dresses are also new and smart. Not to be outdone, clothes for the male segment of the popula tion are turning to a new and gay look with not only plaid shirts, but plaid jackets and sport coats being featured in the “latest fall collections” and on the campus. Librarians To Elect Vice-president and secretary will be elected at a meeting of all house librarians at 4 p. m. today in the browsing room of the Stu dent Union. Freedom Crusade* Sign-up Lags Crusade for Freedom scrolls had received signatures from less than 40 per cent of the Univer sity student body, as of 3 p. m, Wednesday, ASUO President Barry; Mountain announced. The drive is aimed at securing, pledges from a full 100 per cent' of the students. By Wednesday only 1,900 of an estimated 5,000 students had signed the scrolls. Several living organizations have promised donations for the Voice of Freedom radio station in Western Europe. A total of $15 has been turned in to the ASUO office thus far. Restaurants blame television for a seven per cent drop in business. Some people seem to be making TV a steady diet. Lot of folks don’t know enough to learn as much as they lead their friends to think they know. Seventy per cent of the mem bers of t prison band were paroled before their terms were up. Even ' in the pen, peace is a taiessing. major subject • at OXFORD button-down 3 95 Tailored to a college man’s taste—oxford button-downs.
