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,

'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.
