.Holloway Report Under Fire; Greeks Cite Financial Troubles By Al Karr Th<* contention of the not yet completed Holloway report on de ferred living that financial diffi culties being experienced by many faternlticH and Hororltlea are large ly the fault of the individual groups and not the deferred living system was disputed Sunday by leaders of men’s and women's fra tcrnal living groups. Herb Ix>mbard, president of the House Managers association, com posed of the business managers of fraternities, and Joane I>ewls, president of Panhellenic, presi dents of sororities, attributed losses sustained by many houses chiefly to the deferred living sys tem. Four Points Outlined The Holloway report contention was one of four points outlined by I.es Anderson, alumni secretary, to an alumni meeting during Home coming last term. Anderson gave a preliminary account of what the report would contain, as it appear ed at that time, to the meeting. Charles Holloway was appointed by Alumni President W. N. Itus scl last yieir to bead the eight-man ■* committee, charged by the associa tion to investigate deferred living for freshmen and to report bac k to the uluinni. Completion of the report has been delayed by illness in the Hol loway family, Anderson said Sat urday. Lombard said it is difficult for houses to continue with less men than before the system went into effect last year because of mem bership coming from three classes than from the previous four. ( noli Don't Change "Fraternities have a certain cost whether they have 10 or 100 men," he said, "and the decrease in mem bership has made it much more difficult to meet thut cost." Lombard said the average loss by fraternities and sororities last year was from $000 to $800. Some made money, he added, but the fi nancial purpose of the houses is not to make money, but to break even. "However, very few are even doing that," he complained. Lombard asserted, "Preferred living hurt fraternities financially last year, and it's still hurting." Miss Lewis said deferred liv ing has also harmed sororities fi nancially, although she expressed hope that the losses sustained were merely the result of the change over last year, when no new pledges replaced tbs graduating class. Miss Lewis said she hoped houses could get back to pro-de ferred living membership in a few years. Other feints Cited The other three points In Ander son's preliminary account of the prospective content of the report on deferred living talso called the "DuShane plan” after Donald M. DuShane, director of student af fairs, who was considered chiefly responsible for initiating the plan at Oregon) were: 1. Deferred living Is here to stay. 2. An advantage of the system is the wide acquaintance the dor mitory-living freshmen have gain ed. 3. A disadvantage is the lack of proper information regarding reg ulations among freshman students. Most of these regulations are stu dent-imposed, not administrative, the report stated. The report, when completed, will go to University President H. K. Newburn and to th<- Alumni asso ciation, Anderson said in his dis cussion of the report last term. It will be published in Old Oregon, alumni magazine.

Ike's Chances Good, Poll Reveals (Continued iron' page i nr) .^marked, but he added that Taft would have trouble in November against the labor vote. Goodwin did not think that Stas sen can get the Republican nom ination. "I don't think he was what we were looking for in 1948.'' Stassen Might Be “Compromise” He added that Stassen might run as a "compromise" between those who dislike Taft and those who don't care for a general as presi dent. He also thought that Warren would have a poor chance for the nomination "Nobody west of Buck's county, Pa., seems to have too much chance in the Hast.” C. P. Schleicher, professor of po litical science, said that if Eisen hower ran, Truman would be less inclined to run against him than against Taft. See Eye to Eye "Truman and Eisenhower seem to see eye to eye on foreign pol icy," he remarked. If Eisenhower ran and accepted Taft’s views on domestic issues, Schleicher said, Truman might wish to run against him. “If Tru man runs against Eisenhower, Eisenhower would win.” Stating that "Ike” would have a .r>0-r>0 chance for the Republican nomination, Schleicher added, "Those who control the Republican party prefer Mr. Taft to Mr. Eis enhower," since Taft is considered to be “safe.” Taft Election “Disastrous” > An election of Taft, according to Schleicher, would be “disastrous for our whole foreign policy." Schleicher remarked that elec tion of “Ike" probably would have a desirable effect upon America’s foreign policy, adding that many Europeans consider him to be the "greatest living man." Wouldn't Kun Against “Ike” Gordon Wright, acting head of the history department said that he didn't think that Truman would run against an Eisenhower ticket because ill he wouldn't want to "be beaten so badly" and (2) Tru man thinks that 'Ike's' views are sound." However, he admitted, the Dem ocratic party, desiring the "spoils" of office, might put the pressure upon Truman and force him to run. Wright stated that if Eisen hower ran, he would probably win the Republican nomination, but he wouldn't win as decisively as he would if he had entered the cam paign at an earlier date. Referring to the North Atlantic alliance, Wright asserted that “no body can do the job as well as he can." Waldo Schumacher, professor of political science, stated that he doubted that Truman would run again in the eventuality of a Re publican nomination of "Ike." “Has Had Enough” “I think that Truman has had enough of it," he commented. Eisenhower’s chances to win the presidency, Schumacher explained, depend upon his opposition and whether or not the American peo ple are willing to elect a general to the office of president. 1 Rush Rules Explained (C OntinuCfl frntn bnttc mtr i out the remaining nix dates.

Ike in Primary f L ontinued from page one) A spokesman at campaign head I quarters of Sen. Robert A. Taft of | Ohio, generally considered Eisen ! hower s most formidable opponent for the nomination, declined com ment becat&e he felt the whole announcement picture was "con fused.” Taft Supporters Confident The Taft people long: have antici pated that Eisenhower eventually would get into the race and insist their candidate can win the nomi nation anyhow. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, first GOP bigwig to plug Eisenhower publicly for the Re publican nomination in 1952, issued a special statement. "As 1 have said many times in the last year and a half, X expect General Eisenhower to be nominated as the Republican candidate for president and elected," he asserted. Harold E. Stassen, who last week announced his own candidacy for the GOP nomination, said lie would make no deals with Eisen hower and would continue to make an all-out drive for the presidency. There have been reports Stassen might throw his strength to Eisen hower at some critical moment. Lodge made his dramatic an nouncement, in effect formally tossing Eisenhower’s hat in the GOP presidential ring, to an un usual Sunday noon news confer ence. Ike Okay Predicted The Massachusetts Republican said the general has "assured many people" he will accept the GOP nomination if it is offered to him. "His willingness to run in New Hampshire is proof” of Eisenhow er's candidacy, Lodge said. The senator asserted repeatedly that his statements "will not be repudiated" but "will be confirmed" at Eisenhower's headquarters. "Would you expect confirmation in Paris that he is a Republican and that he is iu to the finish?" He was asked. 1 CLASSIFIED Place yoo*- ad at the Student I'ninn, main desk or at the Shack, in person or phone ext. i ZI9, between 2 and 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.
