Financial difficulties of some
'fraternities and sororities are

Holloway report on the so-called
"DuShane plan" states, according
to a report made on the survey by
Los Anderson, alumni secretary,
to an alumai meeting during
.Homecoming Saturday.
The assertion was one of four
{joints to be contained in the re

eight-man committee headed by

Sets Conference
A conference among officials of
the Public Utilities commission,
the Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph Co. and student representa
tives of several colleges and uni
versities in the state has been ar
ranged for next Tuesday in Salem.
Word of the scheduled confer
ence was received Tuesday night
by Bill Frye, ASUO senate mem
! her, after he had been contacted
by telephone from the Public Utili
ties office in Salem.
Chance to Voice Complaints
The hearing will give students
their first chance to formally voice
complaints in the term-long dis
pute over installation of pay tele
phones in living organizations of
some universities. Only two schools
Oregon and Willamette arc af
fected now, but similar action has
[been proposed to include all institu

Recently Oregon State gained
postponement of pay phone instal
lations pending investigation by
the PUC.
Last week Krye filed n formal
complaint with the PUC on behalf
of the Oregon Federation of Col
legiate Leaders, of which he is sec
retary-treasurer. The complaint
was in the form of a resolution
passed by the OFCL at a recent
convention.
Abandon “Unjust Policy”
The resolution requested aband
onment of the "flagrantly unjust
policy” of the PT&T in installing
pay telephones in college living or
ganizations.

Red Hair, Aspiring Woman
Utilized in Present Play j
“The role of Clara is a definite
challenge to me," commented Mari
genc Pelouze, "because Clara's am
bitions, desires, and feelings arc at
the other extreme from my own.”
Miss Pelouze plays Clara Wilson in
“Petticoat Fever", which opens at
8 p.m. Wednesday in the arena
theater in 102 Villard.
In Miss Pelouze's words, “Clara
is a woman with definite motives."
Clara has been engaged to Dnseom
Dinsmore for two years, but she
has neglected him dreadfully. She
hears that Dascom has inherited a
large sum of money, and she hops
right up to Labrador to join him.
llaring Hair Dyed Kcd
Miss Pelouze is having her hair
dyed red for the play, to fit the
part. It was dyed red also for "Life
with Father" in high school. Miss
Pelouze reports her hair will re
main red for about four months,
wash. As a tip to those coeds aspir-1
ing for red hair, Miss Pelouze says 1
the effect is much better done by a
professional, than out of a bottle.
The only previous experience
