lead. The countess and her close
friends, played by Jo Tallman,
Joan Claire DeLap and LaRue
Daniel, spend their time trying to
rescue the world from the evil
that they consider has befallen it.
The countess believes that the
world would be saved from this
evil if she could destroy the cer
tain set of people who reprcsnt
the elements of society trying to
destroy the "little" man.

OSC Living Groups
To Get Pay Phones
Pay telephones will be even
tually installer! in all Oregon State
living organizations, L. S. Eade,
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
business manager for the Eugene
area, stated Thursday afternoon.
The orders to install the phones
are being temporarily delayed un
til after the hearing the OSC stu
dents have demanded from the
public utilities commissioner.
Students Wonder
East fall, when the pay phones
were installed on the Oregon
campus, the students were told
that pay phones had already been
installed on the OSC campus.
Later, Oregon students found out
that the telephones had not been
installed, and many wondered why.
The OSC fraternity and sorority
houses are now using telephones at
business rates, which was never in
tended, he said. Eade did not know
what advantage there was for OSC
to demand such a hearing, because
he felt that the pay phones would
be installed anyway.
norms Have Them Already
OSC dormitories have had pay
phones for the past two years. Pay
phones have been used by schools
in Washington and California for
some years and this fall tne pay

Oregon Students
With Vandalism
According- to reports received
from the Oregon State campus,
several acts of vandalism which
have resulted in damage to campus
grounds have taken place and Ore
gon students are suspected in each
case.
A large "O" was burned on Bell
field and a similar marking was
made on a lawn on the quad.
Wednesday morning, the word
"Ducks" was found painted in yel
low in a number of prominent
places on the campus, including
in front of the Memorial Union
building.
Ray Hawk, director of men’s af
fairs, in commenting on the re
ports reminded students of the
agreement between Oregon and
OSC that students found on a for
eign campus engaging in acts of
vandalism will be turned in to their
respective school and they will be
subject to immediate suspension.
Conservatives picking up more
from Liberal party supporters
than Labor did. One glum Labor
party official foresaw a Conserva
tive victory of 35 seats after all
ballots have been counted.
The first Conservative gain
Thursday came in the textile cen
ter of Manchester. There, a Con
servative won by 2.272 votes in a
district that the Laborites had won
by 42 votes in 1950. The second
Conservative gain was in the mid
land counties city of Reading, a
railway town.
Returns to date are. upholding
the pre-election predictions that
Churchill's Conservatives would
oust the Socialist regime of Labor- j
ite Prime Minister Attlee.
As the day wore on, England ]
headed toward a record popular i
vote, with Socialist leaders claim
ing a heavy vote means a Labor
victory. Election officials said that j
at many polling places the ballot
ing was 20 per cent higher than
in the 1900 election. They were ex
pected to total more than 30,000,
000.
At stake in the election were
620 of 625 parliamentary seats.
Four Ulster Unionist (Conserva
tive) candidates in northern Ire
land already seated. One Labor
candidate died and a special elec
tion will be held for his place
Nov. 8.
There were 34,915.112 eligible
voters in Britain, and facing them
at the polls were issues on auster
ity, nationalization of industries,
and heavy taxation. Problems of
rearmament, relations with the
U.S., and setbacks Britain has suf
fered in the Middle East dominated
the international issues.
Results of 319 of the 620 dis
tricts where there was voting were
announced Thursday night, but the
remainder arc to be counted to
day.
Senate Mulls Phone Complaints,
Gives Court More jurisdiction
By Jim Haycox
The telephone problem kicked
around in almost every other place ;
on campus— got a reception from
the senate Thursday night which
all but overshadowed the most im- j
portant decision of the evening,
acceptance of a three major and
five minor point proposal of the
student court.
Hill Carey. ASUO president, in
dicated "unjust and discriminatory
action" on the part of the phone
company for installing pay phones
in Oregon living organizations
while OSC remained without them
this fall."
Company reasons for installa
tion, as related by several mem
bers, were that OSC did have pay
phones in living organizations
(which they do not) and that
houses with more than a certain
number of occupants were not pri
vate dwellings OSC students re- i
volting against installation of!
phones this week, said their orga- ;
nizatjons were not semi-public but !
private and will have a hearing
with the Public Utilities commis
sion.
‘Oregon Not Satisfied’
Though perhaps no action can
be taken by the university until
the hearing is decided, senior rep
resentative Cece Daniels proposed
the PUC be informed that Oregon
is not "satisfied at all" with the
present setup. Carey said he would
give this information to Donn
Black. OSC president.
Director of Student affairs Don
ald DuShane said there was a pos- i
sibility the phone company was
open for suit and damages if i
charges of misrepresentation by j
the company were true.
Senate approved a resolution
submitted by Student court mem
bers Fred Risser and Mike Adams
after an hour of debate. It read
that, upon approval of the Senate
and office of student affairs, the
student court will have jurisdiction
over:
1. Student traffic eases,
2. Review of dubious student en
tertainment activities and
3. Review of student disciplinary
cases as referred to it by the Of
fice of Student Affairs.
Right of Appeal
The proposal also included state
ment that "all cases would have
the right of appeal to the univer
sity". presumable the office of
Student Affairs.
Risser and Adams submitted a
further proposal tc set up a stu
dent honor system at the univer
sity but no action was taken.
A fourth point of the student
court statement, that the court
have jurisdiction over interpreta
tion of the ASUO oenstitution, was
deleted as was the word "minor”
which preceded "student disciplin
ary cases" in point three.
It was explained that the ASUO
constitution committee already has
the job of constitution review. It
is a five member group including
the dear, of the law school, two
faculty and two student represen
tatives.
Five minor points, that the traf
fic court will have regular meeting
times, hold all meetings open un
less a majority dems it unwise,
majority opinion of members will
be the opinion of the court, spe
