BA Building Gets Assent; Journalism Structure Cut The state joint legislative ways. ami means committee Wednesday j approved a program including! funds for the $700,000 addition \ and remodeling for the Business! Administration-social sciences' building, but voted down the pro posed $500,000 addition to t he; journalism building. Also approved were the 4 mil lion dollar teaching hospital at the University medical school and the $730,000 addition and remodeling to the home economics building at Oregon State College. OSC’s chem ical engineering wing was voted down. The $7,500,000 program approv ed by the committee was for funds requested by the state boards of higher education and control. Tf Building Needed The journalism wing and OSC’s chemical engineering wing, defeat ed by the committee, are both critically heeded, Lyle Nelson, di rector of public services, said. The usual procedure by the legis lature is to appropriate funds ap proved by the joint committee; thus the success of the BA-social science school measure is likely, he said. But the journalism school will probably not be considered by the Legislature again until the addi tion is included in the 1953-54 biennium budget of the State Board of Higher Education. A cigarette tax of 3 cents a package to raise 15 million collars a year for the buildings was ap proved by the committee, but the money would go into the general fund, rather than be tied definitely to the buildings. If the State Legislature follows the approval of the committee by appropriating the designated funds, a defeat of any cigarette tax mea sure by a referendum would not prevent the construction of the buildings. Tax Linked If the Legislature appropriates the funds without tying the pro gram to the cigarette-tax, the money will go into the state board, Six Candidates for Offices Decide to Run Independently Blood Drive Nets Total of 476 Pints In Two-day Drive A total of 476 pints of blood was collected for the Red Cross in its two-day drive on the Oregon cam pus. The best effort wan made Wednesday, when 264 pints were Collected. Although the University did not reach its proposed quota of 800 pints it nevertheless made a good showing.

'LOCUS REMOTUS' REMAINS J • • • COUNTY of FENTON, State of Hollis —(Special)— In a surprise announcement, President Jim Hafey of Fenton Hall declared in the wee hours of the morning to day that "Locus Remotus" will re main as the official theme of Law School Weekend, the most import ant social festival of the year, in spite of the choice of a similar theme by Junior Weekend plan ners. At exactly 4 a.m., all of the sub jects of Fenton were scared awake by Hafey's personal secretary, David “Ugly-Man" Dardano, for the presidential statement. President Hafey staggered to the patio overlooking 13th street, and stated: a “Fellow Shysters of Fenton: alter soaking over all of the issues for the past eight hours, your elect ed officers and representatives have voted unanimously against any compromise, demurrer, plea in abatement, release or surrender to the enemy, in spite of 'the over whelming forces against us. “We will carry on to the end, and fight this battle together. "For nigh on, 40 years, it's been the samo»old story. The members of the neighboring province, Uni versity of Oregon, have invaded our domain, ruthlessly seizing, as porting, taking, converting, and carrying away the theme we have selected for our annual celebration. “Because of their lack of mental ingenuity, they have been unable to devise an original theme of their own for a subsidiary sideshow staged at Oregon. "In an effort to conceal and dis guise their fraud, stealth, artifice and illegal actions, the confused invaders have interpreted our theme to mean "Far Away Places." Any keen, analytical mind will readily recognize that "Far Away Places" is not even a good, literal translation of the. words which we had previously devised for our festival. “In this critical hour, your of ficers considered seriously the pos sibility of crossing up the enemy, by scuttling our original theme, and selecting a new one. But under present conditions such a sugges tion cannot be stomached by the cabinet. Our selection for the 1951 Weekend was made a year ago, following last year's mild counter offensive, after the enemy had de manded complete surrender follow ing the overwhelming victory by our forces in 1949. "We didn't give up the fight then. And we won't give up 'our name' now. "Therefore, as your chosen lead er, I hereby do proclaim the week end of May 4-6 as a legal holiday in order that we might, in a cus tomary jurisprudential manner, honor the past and dedicate our selves to the task ahead. The offi cial theme for 1951, as selected last May, will still be: 'Locus Rcmo tus'.” Deferment for students pursuing an undergraduate course of instruc tion requiring five or six years to quality them for a degree is being granted under a supplement to the college student deferment plan as outlined in the President's ex ecutive order of Mar. 31. The supplement, put out by the Director of Selective Service, was received this week by the Office of Student Affairs. It also included data concerning the deferment of students in graduate work, or those who expect to go into it, and those engaged in certain pre professional curricula. According to the announcement, a student who has successfully completed the fourth or fifth year of an undergraduate program re quiring more than the normal four years can be deferred if he “had a scholastic standing in his last completed undergraduate year which placed him in the upper three-fourths of the male mem bers of that class.“ Attainment of a score of 70 or more on the Selective Service col lege qualification test and accept ance by the University will also serve as deferment if the student does not fall into the first cate gory. Those applying for admission to a graduate school will be eligible for deferment if they fall among the upper one-half of the male members of their graduating class or if they attain a score of 75 or more on the qualification test. Students already in graduate work may get temporary exemp tion by showing- that they are in attendance and are meeting gradu ate requirements. Pre-professional majors expect ing to enter schools of medicine, dentistry* veterinary medicine, osteopathy, or optometry may re ! quest deferment providing they have been accepted by the pro fessional school or are pursuing courses leading to their entry into these schools. University students planning to enter the school of veterinary medi cine at Washington State College or the school of optometry at Pac .<• j fic University may apply now for ; admission. Applications are in the i Office of Student Affairs.
