Frosh Tell Views On Deferred Living In Interviews With Emerald Reporter By Hob Southwell What do you think of ‘deferred living,’ at the dorms and ‘limited social contact’ with the fraterni ties ? “I would approve of them if the dormitories required residence for only one term and provided better living conditions for that term.” Such was the usual response to a survey conducted among a cross section of freshman men by the Emerald. 30 Interviewed About 30 freshmen were infor mally interviewed to reveal pre vailing opinions on the University's present rushing and orientation system. An affirmative attitude to ward the system was indicated by most of the boys, although nearly all emphatically suggested certain revisions. Dormitory living for the entire first year proved to be their prin cipal complaint, exciting such com ments as, “If we must have defer red living, why don’t they cut it to one term?” and “Perhaps one term is a good idea, but we should be able to move out after that.” Many Dissatisfied More than two-thirds of the cross-section voiced dissatisfaction with the present deferred living policies. Many favored a return to the traditional "first week rush” system, claiming that present poli cies "limit freshman adjustment.” These students were met head on with an opposite opinion—“Defer red living is for our benefit—for us to get to know the campus and not be susceptible to a ‘ride’ into a house. It stimulates more class spirit.” What the freshman men evi dently consider deplorable living conditions stirred a sense of unity among the cross-section: "It would be all right if our living quarters were better.” Support Contact Idea An 18-12 majority supported the present plan of "limited social con tact" with fraternity men. Using such arguments as, "It forces us to get better acquainted" and "It pro vides shy students a new chance to break into cliques,” the frosh boys went on to admit that “It might cut into some social activi ties, but this is all the better for us freshmen." On the other side of the fence, heated arguments against the plan issued forth: "It breaks friend ships"; "It cuts freshmen out of all social activities"; “It makes for a colder campus—the University ir of Oregon is no longer noted for its friendly campus”; "We should have rushing tv/o weeks after reg istration, like the girls.” Solves Kush Problems Some boys thought that deferred living solves many rushing prob lems, for such opinions as “Fresh j men should have such a chance to | look around,” were abundant, i These were argued with “Fresh j men can look over the fraternities iail they want to; they don't have j to pledge right off the bat.” One student observed, "Likewise, de | ferred living offers the fraternities a better chance to examine pros pects.” An opinion felt by all, though not necessarily applauded, came from a Californian — “Deferred living enables freshmen to see the other side of college.” A corollary of this statement came from an other student: "By living in dormi tories we will meet more fellows and cement friendships, thereby eliminating any serious rivalry be tween Greeks and Independents.” Some Like Counselors A slight majority of the cross section considered the counselors living in every freshmen hall to be helpful. “They take the place of older fraternity brothers in advis ing and helping us,” some fresh man said. Others claimed that the counselors "are merely stu dents who are against fraternities and trying to influence us like wise.” Some students claimed, "We would make better grades in a fra ternity because of the help and pride.” Others stated, “We can't help but study better when not liv ing in a fraternity.” Why do you think the university sponsors this system of deferred living and limited social contacts? This question drew a heavy line between the affirmative and nega tive sides of the problem. Those in favor of deferred living replied: r "So that we can become better adjusted and have more chance to work at school; so that we will have more time to study. It would be a tough adjustment to move right into a fraternity.’’ Those against deferred living an^ swered: "A few in the administra tion are dollar happy—they just want to get their room and board out of the Vets’ dorms. They are prejudiced against small fraterni ties. They are trying to get rid of the Greek system.” Denison Dam (Lake Texomai is five miles northwest of Denison, Texas, on the Red River and cost 60 milion dollars.
