Her pianist will be Franz Rupp who has played more than 500 concerts with her. Miss Anderson made her debut with the New York Philharmonic symphony in 1926.

"I have stressed the fact (to OHC) that feeling in our case is quite impatient," he said. "Every day we wait costs the individual student money, I know. But the wheels of student government are I slow . . Could Act Alone He admitted, upon questioning, that Oregon could act alone but I noted that when a hearing was called, all schools involved would ' take part. Several senators had suggested that OSC was dragging their feet and it was pointed out that they are trying only to prevent pay phones while this campus already has them and is pressing for re , moval. Other points covered in a short senute meeting included hearing of two reports, Pacific Student Presi dents association by Bill Carey, ASUO president and mock politi cal convention by Hoy Morgan, senior in general social science. Wilkes Appointed Chairman Jackie Wilkes, junior in sociol ogy. was appointed general chair man of Duck Preview weekend. She took the post by a 10-9 vote over Merle Davis and Pat Choat, petitioning as co-chairmen. The proposed primary election plan was taken off the table by a vote of about two to one and dis cussion was postponed until meet ing next week. (Senate rules call for decisions on important meas ures to be postponed one meeting and though the plan was presented last week, some members said they had not yet time to study it.) Miss Wright Speaks Its initiator, senator - at - large Virginia Wright said she "hoped (the senate) would look at it with the idea of modifying what you don't like.” The Illinois plan, Hading said, would first be presented to P. T. & T. as a proposal. If it is rejected, he explained, it will be incorporat ed into a formal complaint and filed with the Public Utilities com mission. I Earlier P.T.&T. proposed a compromise plan, the intra-cam pus exchange, to Oregon. This was set aside by the senate on the grounds that the University might be able to get the original phone system back.) "The Illinois plan Is exactly what we want here," he said, "and will satisfy similar demands there (OSC)."

Action on the petition will be taken at the next AGS meeting, in accordance with the AGS constitu tion which states that voting on such a proposal must be done at a meeting following the one in which the petition was read for the first time. Jerry Shaw, president of ATO. had no comments to make on the petition when contacted following the Thursday meeting. Kmie Baldini, former president of-TSA and ATO member, said the action by the house was "kind of surprising" and “rather sudden." "Whatever the house decides is to its advantage or disadvantage," Baldini said when asked for com ment on the action. The petition f FC Posts Reward For Information About Burglars The Intern-fraternity council is now offering a $50 reward to any one who can supply information which leads to the arrest and con viction of anyone involved in a fra ternity house burglary. The action came at Thursday’s IFC meeting after several houses reported that a considerable amount of money has been stolen from individuals. Bob Christ, legal advisor to the IFC, reported that he had talked to Ted Brown, Eugene police chief, and that the police are 100 per cent behind the fraternities In re gard to the prevention of thefts. According to the Oregon Statutes, the penalty for conviction of burg lary (breaking and entering) is 5 to 15 years in the penitentiary. Other items of business at the IFC meeting were the clarification of the minutes of the previous meeting in regard to penalties for rushing infractions and discussion of housing for delegates to the In ternational Relations league con vention which meets on the Oregon campus later this month. for AOS reinstatement was due to no single incident, he added, or to any great fault of USA. Two years ago, ATO left the Greek bloc to join the United Stu dents association. They have re mained in USA until the decision was marie to return. A clause in the AGS constitution states that if a house returns to the party after having left, they arc not eligible to have any candi date? for AGS or ASUO offices for one year. In other business, the AGS rep resentatives passed a motion to petition to the student affairs com mittee for official recognition. The status of official recognition wiW enable the group to sponsor cam pus events and use University buildings.
