VOLUME LII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1950 NUMBER 33 Men's Date Cards Issued in Gerlinger As Rushing Begins Men’s formal rushing gets under way today when date cards are issued to rushees from 6 to 11 p.m. in Gerlinger Annex. Interfraternity Council Officials request all rushees to note this time change, which is different from that printed in the rush ing schedule issued rushees during registration Friday and Sat urday. The change was made in order to avoid conflicts with afternoon classes and athletic programs. Frosh Meet To Choose New Council The formation of a freshman council will be the purpose of fresh man class meetings in dormitories tonight, Wayne Corothers, class president, announced Sunday. * Freshmen will elect representa tives to the newly-proposed coun cil. Elections will be held by in dividual halls, and co-ops in which freshmen are living. Class officers met with Coroth ers and ASUO President Barry Mountain last week to outline the plan for a freshman council. Corothers said the plan was only tentative but it would be the first step in establishing a freshman representative body on the cam pus. Meet Weekly The council will probably meet once a week. Members will dis cuss problems, plans, and activi ties of the class, and report any action or proposals back to their individual living organizations. Such a body, Corothers stated, would give more unity to the fresh man class and would provide a common source through which pro posals could be presented and act ed upon. Representatives will be elected from each of the halls in John Straub and the two Vets’ dorms, one from each floor of Carson hall, and one from Hendricks and Susan Campbell halls. Each of the co-ops where freshmen are living is also entitled to a council member. A representative from the ASUO Executive Council will be invited to sit in on the meetings of the freshman council in an advisory capacity, Corothers stated. Weather . . .

These cards are superi seded by the official date cards which are issued after a check by fraternity officials with the unof ficial date card of the rushee.

IFC officials said Sunday that freshman rushees do not have to pledge a fraternity even though they go through rush week, but may pledge anytime following rush week. Freshmen who do not go through rush week, however, will not be able to pledge until they have gone through some form of rushing to be determined next term. Dates during rush week will be at noon, dinner, and from 8 to 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Tickets are $1.00 including tax’and are on sale in the Student Union. This is the Little Singers’ first concert in Eugene, although they have given 1.000 a cappella con certs in the past 19 years all over the world. The voices of the 40 boys range in pitch from soprano through al to and tenor to bass. Their special dream is to "unite little children all over the world in one big sing ing family* under the sign of Peace.” They have toured the continents of Europe, Africa (including Egypt and Palestine), Central America, most of South America, Mexico, | and North America. The group, with L'Abbe Maillet, its director, has been honored many times, but one of the biggest events has been the massed choir of 3,000 boys who sang for the Pope at St. Peter's in 1949—Mo zart, Bach, and other religious composers being presented. In 1947, when they last visited the United States, they stopped traffic on 5th Ave. because of the big parade and reception accorded them by Mayor William O’Dwyer of New York City. The State Teachers’ College in West Chester, Pa. said of the group: “Our All-Star Course is now in its sixteenth series. It con sists of six outstanding programs which employ the leading attrac tions available. Among some of the even's have been appearances by Marian Anderson, Lawrence Tibbett, Grace Moore, Rise Ste vens, James Melton, and Eleanor Steber. Of all these programs we have put on during the sixteen seasons, not one has been received' * with more enthusiasm than that given us by The Little Singera from Paris." To their director, Father Mail lot, goes a. great deal of credit, for not only does he have the difficult scores to manage, but the boy3 as well. However, they have built up an enormous repertoire. The show should be entertain ing, according to R. L. Picard, professor of romance languages, because the Singers cater to every one and present a well balanced program. (See Program Page Eight) Parts Available For Men,Women In Theater Play Seven women’s parts and seven men's parts are available in “Right You Are (If You Think So),” the third production of the University Theater. Tryouts for roles will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in the laboratory theater of Villard Hall (room 102), 3 p.m. Tuesday, and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Anyone may try out, according to Frederick Hunter, di rector of the play. Early casting for the play is necessary, Hunter explained, be cause of the special attention he is giving characterization. The play is scheduled for production in February. Rehearsals will be und er way before the Christmas holidays. The play, written by Luigi Pir andello, will be presented as part of the theater's Greater Drama Series. It fills the requirements of the Latin group of dramatists. The drama-comedy deals with the problem of truth and evidence through the life of ordinary vil lagers in a small Spanish town. Local Cab Driver Voices Opinion About Oregon Student Customers This is the first in a series of articles in which people who, in their various professions come in close contact with the Oregon stu dents, get to speak their own minds. The question was, “Just what do you think of these stu dents as they affect you and your business?” Some of them welcom ed the chance to talk. They did say whatever they felt like say ing. Any guy who drives a cab through this or any other city for five years becomes a knower of the qualities as well as the quanti ties of the people he serves. Sure enough, he carries all kinds. . .in eight hours of traffic six days a T^lteek. He’s a pretty square guy, more offended than offending, and may be wishes he was treated more like a person than a part of the ma chine. I think he was a little flat tered to have someone ask him what he, in his dealings with us, thought of the college crowd. This, much in his own language, was his description. “They’re not a bad bunch of kids, not at all. In fact, I’d rather carry them than one of my regu lar fares, because I don’t have to wait on them hand and foot. They’re good business too. You can feel the drop over the summer va cation months. “Of course, they’re just human. Lots of times they call in at the last minute and expect you to break every law in the books to ' get them to the depot on time. I : guess they forget that we have to j obey laws just like everybody else. “Then sometimes you get to the address in a big hurry and they’ve already gone off with somebody else. “In one way, they have kind of a funny whim. We have both the yellow and the black-and-white cabs with the company but almost always when the train comes in or they call for a car, the yellow ones go out. I’d guess it’s because they get used to that color in the big cities and don’t think the others look like cabs. “They make good customers, but on foot it's a different story. You never know when one of them is going to step off the curb right in front of you. They 'don’t do it so much down town, but on the campus it’s terrible. It bothers me so much that I never drive down there unless I have to on a job.’’ Sale of Pigger's Guide Slated to Begin Today 1 lie all-student bible, the Piggcr s Guide, makes its appearance today. Long the latest word in “who is who” and where they are, the Pigger’s Guide goes on sale in the Student Union, Co-op. Friend ly, and Commerce. The little book will be sold by Yeomen, off campus men’s organization, at 40 cents a copy. Student Court To Meet in Sll First session of the student court will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wed nesday in the Student Union, it was decided at an organizational meeting this week. Traffic violations will be brought before the first session. All stu dents who have received tickets for violations are requested to appear, Mike Adams, court chair man, said. Possibility of the court's auth ority being expanded to other fields was also discussed at the organizational meeting. Ray Hawk, director of men’s affairs, and Steve Church, member of last year’s stu dent court, offered suggestions for court operation. Court membership has been ex panded from three to five this year to insure continuity, and provide an opportunity to divide authority and expand. Schooling States Oregana Deadline Deadline for payment for Ore gana space by living organizations, clubs, and honoraries is Wednes day, Business Manager Bob School ing stated Sunday.

Probably tlie most inclusive hook about students, Pigger’s (Undo lists everyone registered in the University — including the faculty. It contains the name, home and campus ad dress, class, major, and tele phone number of each student. The faculty directory, a replica of the faculty directory published by the University Editor, is found in the back of rigger’s Guide. Incidental information, helpful to social chairmen and student officials, precedes the main body of the book. Here there is a list of all living organizations and cam pus honoraries with names of the president and social chairman (and also the house mother.) A schedule of final examinations may also bo found, if one wants to find it. A brief summary of traditions and the words to student songs are included in the beginning of the book. Information and spelling, accord ing to Editor Virginia Wright, are correct in so far as registration cards arc correct. Any misspelling in names is usually because hand writing on registration cards some trmes cannot be read correctly, Miss Wright said. I Oregano Schedule. . .
