ASUOJssues Call
For Court Petitions
Sophomore, junior, and senior
petitions are still being called for
by the ASUO Executive Council
for three vacancies on the student
court.
Deadline for petitions is 5 p. m.
Monday in the ASUO office. Ap
plicants will be interviewed by the
council at 8 p. m. in the Student
Union Board room.
.The sophomore and junior will
continue in office for four terms
ind the senior for three.
Group to Discuss
Closing Hours
Friday night closing hours will
be under discussion at the Student
Affairs Committee meeting today
at 4 p. m.
Final decision on the matter of
1 a. m. closing hours for Friday
will be made by the committee,
Donald DuShane, Director of Stu
dent Affairs and committee chair
man, said Wednesday.
However, the decision will not
necessarily be reached today, he
pointed out.
The possibility of 1 a. m. hours
being granted in special cases
when late closing seems neces
sary, was reported last week by
Ray Hawk, Director of Men’s Af
fairs. Such a policy could apply
to “jammed” weekends, he stated.
Earlier this year the ASUO
Executive Council and Student
Union Board went on record as
favoring the later closing period.
Nudd Tells
Judging Plan
For Parade
This year’s Homecoming noise
parade will not place emphasis on
noise alone, Roger Nudd, noise
parade chairman, announced Wed
nesday night.
Judges will consider four main
points in selecting a winner. The
spirit of those on the float and
following it will be awarded 30
per cent, while the appearance of
the float, in relation to the theme,
and the ingenuity of originality in
noisemaking will each receive 25
per cent.
Emphasis Changed
The remaining 20 per cent will
be awarded for sustained noise in
the one-block judging area. The
change of emphasis is to discour
age the use of the same equip
ment by groups year after year
and give the smaller organiza
tions a chance to shine in origin
ality and spirit.
The vehicles themselves must
be one single conveyance—Semi
trucks are permissible, but not
extra trailers.
Numbers were given to repre
sentatives at the drawing held
Tuesday. These numbers must be
displayed on both sides of the
float. The names of the living or
ganizations and the theme of the
float must also appear with the
number.
Sub-Committees Appointed
Sub-committees have been ap
pointed to handle different phases
of the parade. Chairman .of the
judging committee is Paul Lasker,
and for the awards committee,
Betty Derrah.
Noise parade committee mem
bers are: Jan Bosserman, Jane
Cover, Elizabeth Drummand,
Nancy Gloege, Molly Harbert,
Norma Hultgren, Robin Lansome,
Jean Lewis, Sally Haseltine,
Sarah Turnbull, Marvin Wolf,
Margaret Woods, and Jon Ere
meef.
Huge Auto Parade
Opens Idaho Rally
A gigantic automobile procession winding through the campus
this afternoon will highlight the rally for the Webfoot squad
leaving for the game with Idaho Saturday.
The parade will end and the rally will be held in front of Mc
Arthur Court at about 3:45, Jim Fenimore, rally board chairman
said Wednesday. Cars will be parked in either a single or double
line on University St. from 15th to 18th. Eugene police will block
off University at those two points, Fenimore explained.
Board Discusses
Poor SU Service
Poor coffee and food service in
the Student Union was a major
topic of discussion at the SU
Board meeting Wednesday night.
“There is no possible way we
can improve the service in the
Union until we get someone to
give the service,” said Director
Dick Williams. He explained that
the Union can’t get student help
on Monday, Wednesday, and Fri
day from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., the
time when demand for service is
the gx-eatest.
W’illiams analyzed the present
situation as due to (1) no help,
(2) inability of the Union staff to
train the help when they get it
because workei’s are needed im
mediately and (3) if inefficient
help is fired, there are no replace
ments.
From six to seven student work
ers in Student Union food service
are needed immediately to work
hours between 8 a. m. and 4 p. m.
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
Williams said.
Pay for student help is 60 cents
an hour. If students work through
the entire fall term they will re
ceive 10 cents an hour for each
hour they worked during the term
in addition to the base 60 cents.
Winter term, students will get 65
cents an hour, with again the 10
cent per hour payment if they
complete the entire term. Spring
term, students who have worked
throughout fall and winter term
will receive a straight 75 cents
an hour.
$750,000 University Library Addition
Opens Today; Stacks Now Accessible
The day has arrived!
The new $750,000 University
Library Addition will open at 8
a. m. today. Under construction
since March, 1949, the annex will
increase floor space by about 80
per cent and raise the immediate
seating capacity to approximate
ly 1,300.
Students will be able to select
books themselves for the first time
from all library shelves. Previous
ly these shelves have been open
only for special use. Only the
rare book department will not be
open to student access.
Find Own Books
Under the open shelf principle
students will be expected to find
their own books. Books need not
be checked out if they are to be
used in the stacks or the division
al reading areas. If the student
wishes to take books home or to
use them elsewhere in the library, j
they must be checked out at the
circulation desk in the main build
ing.
Changes brought about by the
annex include use of the room
which was formerly the Browsing
Room as a general reading and
study room. It also contains the
current issues of various news
papers.
Audio-Visual Moved
The audio-visual department has
been moved to greatly expanded
quarters in the basement of the
annex. Special features incline
two studios for projection or re
cording, individual listening booths
and the Douglas Room, which is
equiped with earphone turntables
for record listening,
Library service will now operate
on a subject divisional basis. The
four major public service units
comprise the humanities division,
the science division, the social
science division, and the general
reference and documents division.
Humanities on Third Floor
The humanities division is hous
ed on the third level of the annex
and the fifth stack deck; the
science division is located on the
second floor of the main building
and the fourth stack deck; and the
social science division is primar
ily centered on the second level
of the annex and the second and
third stack decks.
Materials in education and
psychology occupy a portion of
the first annex level, along with
the Curriculum Laboratory, which
has been moved to the library
from the School of Education.
The general reference and docu
ments division is located in the
area formerly termed the Refer
ence Room, in the west wing, first
floor of the main building.
The police have requested
students not to follow the buss
es carrying the team to the sta
tion after the rally. All cars wilt
remain on University street for
at least five minutes after the
rally.
The parade, led by the five new
song queens, will form at 11th and
Alder at 3:25 p.m. with all the Mill
race houses. From that point it
will move up Alder to 13th, which,
should be reached by 3:30. As the
procession moves up' Alder, all.
houses along the route, including
those on 15th St., will join the pa
rade.
Route Mapped
The parade will move up 19th to
the Hilltop, picking up Theta Chi,
Delta Tau Delta and Delta Zeta by
3:35. From this point, the proces
sion will swing around to Alpha
Tau Omega and reach Carson Hall
by 3:40.
Cars will move into University
from 13th. Guides will direct the
cars into either a single or double
line, depending on the number of
cars in the procession, Fenimore
said.
Lifts Requested
Fenimore stated that women liv
ing in Susan Campbell and Hend
ricks should walk over to MacAr
thur Court, along with any other
students coming from class.
All cars, said Fenimore, are be
ing asked to pick up any students
along the way, so that as many peo
ple as possible may participate in.
the rally from inside automobiles.
The newly-selected song queens
—Beverly Krueger, Shirley Bonner,
Nancy Miller, Carol Lee Tate, and
Janet Sha,w—will lead the proces
sion from a convertible.
The yell squad, led by Ron Sym
ons, will lead the assembled crowd
in some new yells, and the song
queens, with band support, will
make their first appearance of the
season.
