Explanation of Activities Among suggestions put forward by members of the board, who rep resent all major campus organiza tions, were a plan to acquaint new students with working of student government; an explanation of the activities of the freshman council, the Emerald, and other publica tions, campus honoraries and other clubs. A suggestion that the fraternity and sorority system at Oregon be explained to entering freshmen was debated but no conclusion was reached. Members of the board are Ann Darby, YWCA; Wayne Carothers, Freshman Council; Merv Hampton, Senate; Dick McLaughlin, IFC; Dave Hobbs, YMCA; Bob Calver ley, IDC; Joanne Lewis, Panhel lenic; Hank Panian, Student Union Board; Lorna Larson, Emerald; Bob Ford, Ore-Nter; Eve Overback, Inter-Hall Governing Board; Mary Alice Baker, Religious Council; and Joan Skordahl, WRA.

National ''Officer" (Continued from faye one) The “national officer” declared that she "didn't know” whether the members of the house were aware of the fact that the girl could return. Questioned ns to whether the house would personally inform the coed of this fact, the "national officer" would not say. The Emerald asked whether this permission for the girl to return represented the viewpoint of the alumnae and the student members of the house. She did not answer definitely but said that she felt that all the officials of the organi zation were in agreement. Adviser Uefuses Comment The woman who said she was the “alumnae advisor" refused to com ment about the "national officer's" statement. She hung up. The coed said that one of the house officers previously had told her that she would not be per mitted to return until she gave up dating the Negro student. She said that no one had approached her about returning even if she didn't stop seeing the boy. “They put me out," she com mented. "The attitude of the alum nae has been narrow and ridicu lous." Mo' f to “Save Face” She expressed the belief that the sorority was "trying to save face." "I might feel differently about moving back in except that they have not contacted me,” she com mented. “As it stands, I would feel awful about returning to the house. I don't understand their move and I wonder why they did it." The Negro student, questioned by the Emerald, said that he was both pleased and surprised about the national officer's statement despite the alumnae advisor’s “no comment.” He said this move constituted an “about-face” for the sorority. Only Crook, Deschutes, Harney, Lincoln, Jillamook, and Wallowa counties had Democratic County Judges during 1949-50. Oregon Plan Partially Approved? (Continued from t'O'ie one) Tho students have generously contributed funds to the Student Court,” Adams, head of the student judicial group, natd. "So the money Hhotlld go hack to them.” A committee composed of Sloan', | Adams, I»on Paillette, Jane Slmp sor., and Gene Lehman was ap- j pointed by ASCO president Barry Mountain to screen applications still retained by the University j scholarship committee and eon- j cerned with persons who did not re ceive aid this year. The scholarship committee will assist In making the final selection. Need and schol arship will he the basis of selec tion. Activities will lie considered In a minor role, it was decided. A (.luma told the council that the court has plans for a new’ type of round stickers to be placed on University cars next year. The stickers will be obtained during the regular registration process, Adams said. Adams also commented on fac ulty reaction to parking lestric tions. He said that the general faculty follows parking rules, but that a few individuals consistently refuse to abide by the rules. The council discussed NSA (Na tional Students Association) but was divided along lines of finance and willingness to engage in decis ions of national and inter-national problems which the national stu dent group concerns itself with. ASUO president Barry Mountain and newly elected president Bill ('ar<'y were nuked to Investigate NKA further when thoy attend the Pacific Count Student Body I’resi dents Association convention In Suit Lake City, Utah, this week. The extent of nervlecn provided by the University Health Service was also discussed by the group. Tiie question of emergency visits by infirmary doc torn wan rained and DuShanc was asked to Investi gate tile situation. The problem was tea* bed when one of the coun cil members told of a case in which a medical emergency arose within a dormitory and aid was unattain able. DuShene was also asked by the council to bring to the attention of the University business office a form letter which Is sent to stu dents whose breakuge fees has been partially exhausted and addi tional payments are required. Mountain said that he had re ceived eight calls from students who received the letters which they inferred were impolite in tone. Mountain told the council that funds donated by students for care of the millracc are currently being used to maintain the water gates. He said that clearing of the race may be accomplished following the construction of the Springficl.L sewage disposal plant which shoulflj be completed in 1952. The Executive Council will hold its next meeting at 4 p.m. Monday. Medford has a, city superinten dent form of city government.

Hast Dial 4-544.1 or 4-G445 “What are you doing to save our oil resources?" People are concerned these days about America’s supply of crude oil. They say, “If petroleum resources are beginning to run out, we ought to be careful to make them go as far as possible. What are you big companies doing to save our oil resources.?” Here’s the answer to that question. Known crude oil reserves siro actually 30% greater today than in 1940. And in addition to mnking new dis coveries, the oil industry—Standard Oil Company of California along with others—is making each well and each barrel of oil yield more and more. Compet i tion makes us produce and refine efficiently. Here are some of the ways we do it: I’d Like to Know... You may have heard that a suit has been filed by the Antitrust Division in Washington to break up Standard of California as well as six other West Coast oil companies. Many people have writ ten us protesting this ac tion, and many have asked pertinent questions about our activities. We answer all letters individ ually, but some points seem of general interest. We take this way of dis cussing them for every one. If you have a ques tion, we urge you to write: “I’d Like to Know” Standard Oil Company of California 225 Bush Street San Francisco 20, Calif. Remember the gusher? Years ago new wells were al lowed to erupt. But oil men found ways to stop this waste. And now they extract tliree new fuels from the gas mixture. We also prevent waste by tapping oil pools which used to be out of reach. Through research into drilling tech niques we make holes curve, under mountains, for example. Time was when only natural pressure lifted oil to the surface. Wells often “went flat.” We now use huge systems to pump pressure hack in, recovering much oil formerly lost. Latest techniques help us in warring on waste. Standard uses a new “electronic brain” to compute best way to drill oil fields for greatest yield 25 years or more into the future. Natural gas, a by-product of oil production, was once merely wasted. But oil companies long ago learned how to capture it, put this energy to work, and conserve natural oil resources. And research in refining helps. In 1920, Western refin eries were getting less than 7 gallons of gasoline from each barrel of crude. They now gel; 20 gallons of far better gas. r STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA • plans ahead to serve you better
