Power of President, Senate Questioned at Meeting Two questions will bo submitted j to the Constitution committee this week as a result of Thursday night's senate meeting. They are: 1. Does the senate alone have the power to create special com mittees and elect their chairmen? 2. Does the ASUO president have the right to make special in terim appointments that need not be referred to the senate ? Carey Announces Appointment The question came up following ASUO Pres. Bill Carey's announce ment that he had appointed Dick Kading general chairman of the phone committee. Kading will at tend an informal meeting between the Pacific Telephone and Tele graph company, the Oregon Public Utilities commission and three col leges — Oregon, Willamette and OSC- at Salem Tuesday. Carey solved the problem mo | mentarily by submitting Kading I for senate approval, which it did Pay Phone Representatives Slate Preliminary Meetina in Salem Today Oregon will send representatives to a discussion on the pay phone situation with Oregon State col lege’s representaives, their attor neys and students from Willam etteette university—to be held at 4:30 p.rn. today in Salem, Dick Hading, head of Oregon's com mittee to represent Oregon stu dents, told the Emerald Thursday night. The groups will discuss plans for the meeting in Salem Tuesday morning with Public Utilities com mission and Pacific Telephone and telegraph cohipany officials, ('oininlttee Members On the committee now are Had ing, and Ann Dielschneider, secre tary. Hading had not been able to Jontact a representative from the lormitories and one from the co fps as the Emerald went to press; plans to select these two mem !rs for the group. ASUO Presi lent Bill Carey told the senate Thursday night he will appoint a senate member to the committee. Kading said his campaign against the pay phones will center around Oregon State college's case and around three extracts from PUC regulations which PT & T has used as a basis for installing the pay phones in OSC dormitories and Oregon living organizations. Cainpuign on OSC’s Case OSC’s case, represented by that school's Co-operative Managers group (house managers), states that PUC does not authorize the installation of pay phones in fra ternal organizations since these are private organizations, Kading pointed out. The three PUC extracts state that public service (pay phones) will be furnished in semipublic and public locations, flat rate service is not provided on public or semi public premises where phones are accessible to the public in general, and public or semi-public service when private phones are used by the public and such establishments as rooming houses, hotels, and apartment houses are to have semipublic coin box service upon request. Oregon Parallel- to OSC If OSC wins its case, Kading as serted. Oregon's case for removal of pay phones from fraternities and sororities is parallel to State's. And, if hotels are considered semi public but do not have pay phones, then dormitories should not have to have pay phones either, Kading said. If hotels are not considered to be allowed phones provided for private use to be used by the pub lic .then the same must hold true for dormitories, he said. If the PT & T Tuesday says non pay phones (extension phones) may be used in dormitories, then (Please turn to page eight) wunoui a dissenting vote, but the two questions were not solved. The president stated that he would not make interim appoint ments if there was some chance ! the appointee would be turned down at the next senate meeting, 1 after having worked in the ap pointed position. Hopes for Decision He hopes to have a decision from the constitution committee for next Thursday’s meeting. * Another stumbling block in the | meeting was solved when Carey promised senators he would pre ; sent "all proposals vital to the ; ASUO" to the senate a week pre vious to voting on them. Some op ! position was registered to the ■ Rally board constitution, passed ' 10-6, on grounds that there was ’ not sufficient time to consider it in one meeting. Senator Herb Cook withdrew a motion which stated any proposed new-organizational machinery re lated to the ASUO should be pre sented to the senate one meeting previous to voting on it and that copies of the proposal be given in advance to each senate member. Constitution Opposed Others opposed a Rally board constitution where it relates to the board. It was felt the ASUO document would still have suprem acy if any controversy arose be tween the two. Other business accomplished during the evening included ap proving two changes in member ship of the honor system commit tee, appointment of a senate con stitutional investigation commit tee and Dad's Day chairmen screening committee, call for peti tions for an exchange assembly chairman, appointment of World Student Service Fund chairman <P'.rasc turn to pape citiht) IFC Amends Rushing Rules The Inter-Fraternity council de cided to amend its constitution at Thursday night's meeting in order to meet proposed rushing rules. The two amendments would give the rushing freshmen more inde pendence. Rushing frosh would be allowed to break dates with fraternities after one date under one amend ment. The other one, confining fra ternity influence to only six dates on rush cards, was brought to a straw vote in the last meeting and received- only two opposing votes. According to the IFC constitu tion a proposed amendment must be read the meeting before it is passed. At the present fraternities are allowed to drop freshmen anytime during the rush period, while the freshmen cannot break dates with ( rhrc.se turn to pace seocn) Business Manager Selection Delayed Selection of business manager of l the Oregon Daily Emerald was [ postponed a week by the Student 1 Publications board at their meet [ ing Thursday night to give more ; students opportunity to petition ! for the job.
