Now Considered Closed Sessions ASt O 1 rfMflcnt Hill Carey said Monday afternoon that lu ncf forth AM O cabinet meetings would be considered execu tive sessions—not open to the press. He said he "would like to have them executive in nature" at the first of the cabinet meeting. As the group broke up he -tated that, from now on, they would be closed. Hut he had not yet reached a decision he explained, as to whether an FmeraM reporter mignt nit in on the meet ings as an observer. He hart withdrawn partially whether the information (from the cabinet) is necessary to students.” It was pointed out. by both Carey anrt Donald DuShano. director’ of student affairs, that cabinet offi cers might not speak as freely as they would if their statements were considered part of the public record. Arose from Trior Discussion The discussion was brought about, he noted, from cabinet dis cussions last week in which he had stated that "a cabinet was not nec essary to the present functions of student government.” He had withdrawn partially from this point, he remarked. He thought, that to solve the lack of interest executive sessions might be a solution, with “complete free dom of discussion.” He also sug gested that the addition of several hew members would help while "some (present) positions on the cabinet were not justified.” Suggested for positions on the cabinet were the presidents of IDC and IFC, president and vice presi dent of Heads of Houses and chair man of the student court. No de cision was reached by cabinet members on whether the leaders of the two political parties, United Students association, and Associ ated Greek students, would also ! be included. DuShane, who compared the cx ' feutive session idea with similar use of it on the national scene, said he saw no reason why it could not be accomplished here. ‘Can't Have Complete Publicity’ "If you are going to have effec tive . . . public policy . . . you can't have complete publicity at all stages . . he remarked.

Science Classrooms Should Be Finished by April 1; Oregon, Commerce Halls Are Being Renovated By Abbott Paine Physics, biology, and chemistry equipment is being installed in the new science building and should be ready for use by April 1. I. I. Wright, superintendent of the physical plant and head of all Uni versity construction, said Monday. Physical plant employees are building tables and cabinets and installing laboratory equipment in the new $1,500,000 structure which will house research and laboratory classes now occupying Peady and McClure halls. BA School Construction Across the campus, the $700,000 business administration school building program is progressing rapidly with the construction of a new central classroom building connecting both Oregon and Com merce halls, and the renovation of Oregon and Commerce halls. The completed business adminis tration building, to be named Com monwealth hall, is expected to be completed and ready for occu pancy in September. Wright said. The interior of Oregon hall is being completely renovated with new plaster, trim and asphalt tile and will provide more office space than before. After the central building is completed, work will begin on renovating the interior of Commerce hall. Offices of the history, sociology, i and political science departments and the Bureau of Municipal re search, now located in Johnson hall, will be housed in the Oregon building. A new lecture hall seating 240 persons will be provided in the new central building. It will also contain 16 classrooms and will be connected, floor by floor to Ore gon and Commerce halls. The new science building will provide from 50 to 100 per cent more space for the chemistry de partment than is now available, estimated A. H. Kunz, head of the chemistry department. Extensive electrical and lab equipment, in cluding a 15-inch telescope mount ed on the roof, are among the facilities available to the physics department. Deady hall will be completely re habilitated and modernized as soon as the physics and biology depart ments move to the science build ing. According to Mr. Wright, the mathematics' department will oc cupy Deady after it is re-modeled. From Chemistry to Journalism McClure hall, now occupied by I the chemistry department will be used temporarily for journalism classes for Emerald news and ad vertising offices while the interior of the present journalism building I is being renovated. As soon as I funds permit, McClure hall will be razed to make room for the pro* posed new journalism building’, listed on the University’s long term building agenda. The Emer ald shack, a temporary quonset structure, will also be torn down. An addition to the architecture school will be "built between the former physical plant building and the present architecture school, a» soon as the state legislature pro vides funds. Ceramics- classes now occupy what was formerly the boiler room in the physical plant. Other parts of the building provide drafting rooms and rooms for classes in weaving.
