Dormitory Study (Continued from page one) Tuesday JIFC meeting. “I think that the Freshmen Council will be interested in the JIFC plan," Carothers told an Emerald reporter following the meeting. "However, it will be necessary to refer the proposal to the council before opinion can be accurately ascertained,” Carothers said. According to the freshmen pre sident all organizations where freshmen live are represented on the Freshmen Council. The coun cil membership includes two re presentatives from freshmen liv ing off-campus in Eugene and one representative from freshmen liv ing in the Springfield area. The Freshman Council will meet at S p.m. today in the Student Union. In further action the JIFC amended their constitution in re spect to individual house repre sentation. Under the amendment each fraternity will be allowed a senior and a junior member on the council. The senior member must be a sophomore in academic stand ing and must not have been a pledge for a period exceeding two years. The junior representative will be a freshman living outside the fraternity. A written criticism of JIFC activities to be submitted by the out-going president at the conclu sion of each term was also approv ed by the council. In other amend ments the group established future election procedure. Red Cross Drive (Continued from page one) will be given to those who plan to contribute $1. Faculty contributions will be in cluded in the University total, which Miss Kuckenberg said Mon day will be about $2,000. The facul ty fund-raising drive will be handl ed through a faculty committee. This year’s Red Cross campaign will seek to build up resources de pleted by a year of extensive Red Cross activities in fire, flood, and cold weather relief, Miss Kucken berg explained. In addition, the Red Cross has played a consider able part in relief activities for xefugees of the Korean war. The Lane County campaign will seek additional funds to add to a total which was taxed heavily by the recent flood of the Willamette River. The Red Cross supplied food and shelter to many victims of the Glenwood-Springfield area. All the kids are glad that school is out, despite the fact that, as mother well knows, they haven’t a thing to do. | Chapman Movie ToFeature Powell Documentary, descriptive, and adventure films of China will be shown r.t 7 and 9 tonight in 207 Chapman.

Vets' Dorms Food Complaint Hits Portland Papers in '49 By riiil Bi tten* Complaints concerning meals served in vets' dorms have appar ently cropped up before, accord ing to stories in back files of the Emerald. A story, telling of some present student dissatlsfiction with the food, appeared in Monday's Emerald. On Nov. 25, 1949, a letter appear ed in the Portland papers signed by 397 residents of vets' dorms; the students complained that the food there was “ ‘sometimes ined ible’ and generally of poor qual ity," according to an Emerald ac count. 'The letter brought out that less than 300 of the 650 students in the Veterans' Dormitories eat break fast," an Emerald article, publish ed Nov. 29, 1049, reported. An editorial in the same issue said that the students had gone about registering their complaint in the wrong way. "If vet-dormers think the food served them is bad, then they have every right to complain to and expect answers from the persons in charge. •'But the indirect method of reaching these persons through news items in state papers brings nothing but bud publicity to the University," the editorial stated. Finally, nfter the letter had been published in Portland, the Inter dorm Council met with University officials to consider what might be done about the food situation if one existed. At the meeting, University offi cials "expressed regret, .that un favorable publicity had come to the University as n result of the recent criticisms of dormitory food." Glenn Winkleblectf, sophomore, then president of Nestor Hall In Vets' Dorms, wrote the controver sial letter and, with two other stu dents. presented it to the Portland papers. He said at a meeting Nov. 30, 1919 with University officials, that “he would not have taken his let ter.. .to the Oregonian and the Oregon Journal last Friday if he had known the response would be •like this'," again quoting the Emerald. H. P. Barnhart, dormitory foods director, said that Wlnkleblcck’a letter contained mime broad Ktate ments, which looked entirely dif ferent when one geta down to facta. Statistics ahowed that a weekly average of 04',4 of the men in vein' ate breakfuat. And, the day after this meeting, the Emerald came out with an other editorial: "It's gratifying and a little amusing to hear that food has markedly improved at Vela' dorms , the laat two daya. “There waa ateak at the Com mons Wednesday when Hendricks and Straub had atew. Arid the ateaka were reportedly very tasty even under floureacent lights.’' No Direct Action Taken But, the editorial continued, the writer "could find no evidence of a formal Investigation being put in motion. It appeared that the mat ter had merely been turned over to the food director nnd the busi ness manager with the rut hoi loose admonition that they do what they saw fit." y. There were letters to th-- P!r>ie rald from vets’ dormers and oth ers some pro, some con. a™ UM BIG BUCK GOTTUM MOCCASINS FOR CAR!
