The Uni versity had offered the old news bureau shack on 15th street. The branch in the SU, Newman said, offers the complete solution of the problem. Besides being in a central location and on a main street, the branch is in a place where the greatest number of peo ple who will be using it can easily reach it. Problems to be Discussed with I/O President Presidents of all men's living organizations will discuss campus problems with President Harry K. Newburn at a dinner meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the ban quet room of the Student Union. According to Barry Mountain, ASUO president, the meeting will be an informal “get-together” en abling all heads of houses and dormitory presidents to get bet ter acquainted with each other and present their campus problems on a common ground. Dr. Newburn will answer questions and discuss problems presented to the group. If Successful “If this meeting is a success, we will schedule others regularly, probably on a monthly basis,” Mountain said. “This is the first time a meeting like this has been held on this campus, and we feel that better understanding and unity among the men’s living or ganizations will result from this discussion,” he ^said. Most presidents have turned in their reservations, but those who have not notified Mountain are urged to do so before tomorrow evening. Plate reservations are $1.60.

The scrools will eventually be placed in the Freedom Shrine in Berlin, Germany. Car Kills 'Blackie' “Blackie” is dead. The little pooch that adopted J. P. Jensen, campus policeman, and stood daily guard along 13th St., was hit by an auto mobile Friday afternoon. “Blackie” adopted Jensen two years ago and became the fa vorite of the physical plant and a common campus sight. The dog’s demise, says Jensen, has come as a great blow to every one in the physical plant. No longer will “Blackie” seek handouts along 13th Ave. eat ing places. No longer will the black pooch assist Jensen in di recting campus traffic. Executive Council Sets ; New Dessert Schedule, Unclaimed Tickets' Fate 1 lie ASL O Executive Council enacted a new dessert schedule for hall term and set up a procedure for Freshman elections at its meeting last night. Also acted upon were the disposal of possible left-over tickets from the recent drawing for the Oregon-OSC game and a per manent record program for activity petitions. Acting on authority delegated by the ASUO constitution, the council adopted a motion that "the dessert-ratio will be seven to three, i hat would be seven desserts with houses of your classi First of 'Joe, Betty'Interviews and Pictures By Andy Freidle Two finalists for Joe College and Betty Coed were inadventantly omitted from the list of candidates in Monday’s Emerald. Jane Kneckt, Alpha Delta Pi, is one of the six finalists for Betty Coed and Tom Bauman, Kappa Sigma, is a candi date for Joe College. Starting with today’s Emerald, a series of interviews of the twelve candidates for .Joe College and Bet ty Coed will be featured. Carson Bowler “Oregon’s terrific but I’m wait ing for more rain!” laughed Car son Bowler, the first Joe College candidate to be interviewed this year. Carson has been strictly Cali fornia all the way up to this year, when he decided to transfer from Pasadena City College and come to Oregon. Hermosa Beach is his home. “The architecture school is so terrific and that's definitely what I want to major in so I decided that Oregon was for me.” Carson worked as a houseboy for a couple in Balboa, California this summer and there got the “bug” for sailing. Whenever he wasn't working or could possibly find a spare moment, he was out on the boat, acting as crew for the owner.. S Besides sailing, or perhaps we should say before sailing, skiing is this possible Joe College's fa vorite hobby. Carson has spent many vacations and weekends at such favorite winter spots as Snow Valley, Green Valley, Baldy, and Arrow Head. “Oregonians are really nice. They go out of their way to be friendly.” Carson’s comment on Oregon girls ran along much the same line as did his comment on Oregonians: “They’re terrific!” Susi Seley A tall, 5’ 8”, brown haired, hazel eyed candidate for Betty Coed is Susi Seley. A native Oregonian who has stayed in this state most of her life, Susi comes from Portland where she was graduated from Catlin High School. "Oregon is the best school that anyone could ever possibly go to, and I mean it,” was her comment on the University of Oregon. She is a sophomore in liberal arts and plans to finish four years here. Ranking high on Susi’s hobby list are swimming and horse-back riding. “I like to do things with my hands, too, like making little puppets or cloth dolls.” Creative writing is also a pastime at which she spends a great deal of time. This summer, Susi worked as a secretary for a manufacturer’s representative. “It was wonderful work and what experience!” Here on the campus, Susi has worked in many activities and (Please turn to page seven) xicauon tureen or independent as the case may be) and three with houses of the opposite classi fication.

The deadline to have them submitted will be Oct. 25, and the election will be held Oct. 30. The new activity files which are to be set up by action of the coun cil will be filled out by all per sons desiring to enter activities and would become permanent. All subsequent activities will be re corded and this should greatly sim plfy later petitions and give chairmen more information on which to base their judgements.
