Pay Telephone
Complaint Voted
By Angry Senate
By Jim Haycox
\\ <■ \ < stood pat long enough on the pay phone contro
versy. 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! Karr, who -poke for
mo-t, ii not all members of the ASl’O senate Thur-day night.
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.
Pat Dignan, junior in law. was
appointed to fill the vacant sena
tor-at-large post on the senate.
Paul Lasker was appointed yell
king replacing Cy Newman and
Art Greisser and Nancy Randolph
were selected to fill vacant posi
tion on the Rally board.

Help Week'Plan
To Be Studied
A "hell week to help week” plan
was presented to the Inter-frater
nity council Thursday night by
Herb Cook, debated b; iefiy and
handed over to a committee for
further study.
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.
