I here s no point in asking the students if they want to lose one arm or two when they may not have to lo^e either.” The words were spoken by Senator A!

Specifu ally, the senate w*anted to know :i tlo T niversitv koirig 10 navr- to accept tn»- pres ent Pacific Telephone and Tele graph proposal the intercampus exchange. They were thinking there was a chance to get the old system back. At hast they were going to try. Without a dissenting vote the senate passed a motion to file a formal complaint with the Public! Utilities commission concerning j the telephone situation at Oregon. ! And the same motion carried a provision to contact Oregon news- ' papers, the University adminis tration and the governor of the state for help. They also agreed unanimously to ; withdraw a phone company poll i which had been given recently to ' most fraternity presidents. Then they reaffirmed their faith in Dick Kading, present chairman of the Oregon phone committer and pledged him full support sccre-' tarial, financial and legal-in all: future action that committee will i take to alleviate the phone situa tion here. Kading had been asked point j blank if he were for or against 1 the installation of pay phones. j "Personally, what would save a fraternity money is to my liking," j he said. That would, he indicated, be the pay phones. "As an individual, however, the student gets better service from business phones." He would listen, he said, and act on the recommen dations of the senate as the chair man of a senate appointed com mi tire. The P.T &T. proposal called for an intra-campus exchange which would provide direct dialing to be tween fraternities, sororities and phones in the school itself. It would not, however, allow out going calls to town or out of town. A separate pay phone would have to be used for this.

Cook's proposal for fraternity pledge classes to carry out com munity and University projects as a part of initiation will be consid ered again by the IFC Jan. 24. Dick McLaughlin. IFC president, said the fraternity organization had agreed to discuss a "help week” jmogram as part of the year's program during an IFC? meeting at the coast early in Octo ber. The meeting brought out the fact that several bouses row have their pledges work on maintenance and repair projects around the fraternity house during initiation. The only house which has had pledges participate in outside ser vice projects during initiation is Alpha Tau Omega. A proposal to handicap frater nities which pledged large num bers of men during freshman rush week in order to give houses who were less successful a better chance during open rushing was pieented to the council by Mc Laughlin for discussion. McLaughlin suggested that an arbitrary figure be assigned as a quota, making that figure low enough to limit rushing activity of the large houses. A total of twenty pledges was named by the IFC president. Large houses appeared to be opposed to the plan. They termed it a penalty for initiative and hard work and said that a limit lower than the present 30 men now al lowed would injure the house fi nancially. They argued that large houses should be able to take ad vantage of their size. Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi were among objectors. These three houses pledged the most men during last week's freshman rush week. f Please turn to page eight) All those in tavor. . .
