Executive Council Reviews Dorm Committee Report, Expresses Unofficial Okay The report of the A8UO dormi tory committee compiled from ob servation of the living-in plan In force at Stanford was reviewed by the Kxecutiyc Councilf Monday evening. The committee's proposed living plan waa in general informally ap proved by the group, which ex pressed the opinion that the pro gram could be made to work on the Oregon campus with the co- • operation of all University organi zations. "The plan can be successful if students adopt the attitude of put ting the Interests of the Univer sity and the freshman ahead of their individual differences,” A8UO President Barry Mountain stated. In a comprehensive period of dis cussion and questions the council, meeting with members of the dor raitory committee, commented up clr the report and listened to re marks by students who made the Stanford trip. A financial report presented to the council by Mountain revealed a total of $669 96 in the ASUO treasury. Mountain said that this sum indicated a better financial condition than that displayed by records of last year's student gov ernment, which went $88 into the red. Sports Night netted $148, Mountain reported. Mountain announced that a class in student government will be started at 4 p.rti. in Chapman Hall for the benefit of newly elected student leaders. The opening class will be conducted by Donald Du Shane, director of student affairs, Mountain said, and will be con cerned with parliamentary proce dure. Succeeding classes will meet at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays and will include such topics as the new ASUO constitution and rules and regulations of parliamentary pro cedure. Prospects of a summer picnic to be held at Jantzen Beach in Portland were mulled by the coun cil, but no decision was reached. Discussion revolved around the is sue of whether the outing should be designed to attract high school seniors who have not yet made up their minds ns to what college they wish to attend, or to provide a social event for students already enrolled in the University and Ore gon alumni. Mountain was instructed by the group to check with Oregon Moth ers and Dads cjubs and alumni to discover the feelings of these or ganizations concerning the picnic.

Joint Committee Reduces Higher Education Budget; Will Cause Faculty Loss SALKM </Pi Tho joint lcgis-i lativp ways and means committee Monday reduced the Board of, Higher Bducation budget, with the result that 60 to 70 faculty mem bers will have to be fired. The committee allowed the board $27,707,026, compared with the $31,643,000 requested by the board. The budget is for the two years beginning next July 1. Representative Bridie Wilhelm Jr., Multnomah, chairman of the subcommittee which prepared the budget, said those cuts in teaching personnel would have to be made, mostly at the University of Ore gon and Oregon State College. In addition, he said, about 65 civil service employes will have to be dismissed. (University President H. K. Newburn, out of town Mon day night, could not be reached for comment.) Wilhelm said the budget cut is justified by lower prospective en rollment. Students May Suffer Wilhelm quoted the board as saying, however, that the reduced budget will force the board to in-1 crease student fees 25 per cent. "This bhdget cut won't do any harm," Wilhelm said. "Otherwise, we would have got a lot more com plaints and pressure than we got. "The budget is about as low as we could go and keep on carrying on about the same as we are now." He said the higher education, system had 25 students per instruc tor four years ago, but that the number now is down to 17 students per instructor. The committee had expected to pass on the $8,620 building—pro gram today for higher education and state institutions. But consid eration of the higher education budget forced the committee to postpone the building program un til its next meeting. However, the committee voted to introduce a new cigarette tax bill of 3 cents a package. This doesn't mean, however, that the committee is for the bill. It will come back to the committee for consideration. A cigarette tax might be used to finance the buildings. Will UO Beat Yale? Blood Drive to Begin At SU for Donors Tile Red Cross has issued an urgent call for blood donors to appear at the Student Union today. In a message received Monday from the Portland Red Cross blood bank, it was learned that the de mand for whole blood has gone up tremendously. In a phono call received late Monday night by (terry Pearson, blood drive co-head, it was learn ed that the University can make national headlines if it can col lect 8fifi pints in its drive. Jerry Jensen of the Portland Red Cross has guaranteed that Oregon will be on the front page of every major newspaper in the United States if they can top Vale University’s record of 866 pints collected in four days. If Oregon beats this record, Jensen said, a letter of defeat will bo received from Vale giving the blood championship of the United Slates to the University of Ore gon. Mrs. Cora Pirtle, manager of the Lane County Red Cross, received the message ami went on to ex plain the reasons for the increas ed demand. Mrs. Pirtle stated, “The new spring offensive that has be gun in Korea has increased easu altios greatly. The Red Cross needs more blood immediately to take care of these increased easualities." The number of pledge cards re ceived for the drive is way below the quota. So far only about 100 students have made appointments. The campus Red Cross committee has asked for all students who can give blood to go to the Student Union Tuesday between the hours of 11 a m. and 5 p.m. Appointments will not be needed. Donors should avoid eating fatty or fried foods for a period of four hours prior to the donation. Cream and butter should be avoided also. The nursery committee of the YWCA will have a baby-sitting ser vice to take care of the children of townspeople giving blood at the Student Union. "It is hard to point out the ur gent need for blood that is exist ing now on our fighting front, but there is a drastic shortage and that is one of the main reasons why the University has had two blood drives this year," Roger Nudd, blood drive co-chairman, stated. "If the quota can be reached or even neared it will mean that the students have really done a ser vice to their counrty,” Nudd expressed. Dave Rodway was then selected to run for senior class president by a unanimous vote. And Mike Lai ly won the junior class president nomination by a 15-vote margin over his nearest opponent. Boh Brittain, who had been nom inated from the floor at the party • nomination meeting Monday after noon, was named candidate for sophomore class president after a runoff election with Jim Magnu son. They had tied on the first ballot at 11 votes apiece. •after the first ballot for senior class representative, the delegates voted to eliminate the lowest two of the four contestants leaving Shirley Hillard and Jeanne Hofl man. In a runoff election, the vote split, 16 for Miss Hillard to 15 for Who Won A<*S candidates for student' body offices are: President: Bill Carey Senior class president: Dave Rod way •Tuninr class president: Mike I-ally Sophomore class president: Bob Brittain Senior class representative: Jeanne Hoffman Junior class representative: Jane Simpson Sophomore class representa tive: Rosamond Praser Miss Hoffman. A second runoif was held—the count was 15 for Miss Hoffman, 16 for Miss Hillard. An unsuccessful attempt was made I to contact the absent house, which held the deciding vote for a tie or definite victory. Finally, the delegates proceeded on to other ; elections, and finally decided to hold a final runoff. On this elec tion, the tally was Miss Hoffma r ! 16, Miss Hillard 14, one blank, i The same thing happened dut | ing the balloting for junior clas-i ' representative. After one original ballot, three runoffs, one revot" on the top three of the five candi dates, and two more runoffs, Jar.° j Simpson won by 4 votes over her final runoff competitor, Jody i Greer. Stitzcr Hall Monday night ap proved a resolution saying that the residents were in agreement with the policies of the Associat i ed Greek Students. The hall's j residents had in the past sup j ported the United Students As j soeiation. Bob Oalverley, Stitzer Hall president, was not at the meet i ing- He told the Emerald that he i did not wish to have a part in j it, and stayed away from the ; hall meeting Monday night pur posely. About 90 per cent of the hall’-' residents are pledges of frater nities. Hall Counselor Dick Laing estimated. "I think this whole thing is perfectly ridiculous,” Idling com mented. Rosamond Fraser was named sophomore class representative candidate following two votes on all the four candidates and a run off between the top three. She de feated Joan Miller, 17-13.
