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

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.

“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”

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.
