Saturday Deadline For Open Rushing Open rushing season for men will officially close Saturday at noon. In accordance with Inter fraternity council regulations, any man who is still planning to pledge must have registered at the Stu-. dent Affairs office by last Satur day noon. Kifty-five men were registered for open rushing by that time. "The University fraternities are in a lot better shape on pledge class manpower this year than last," Ray Hawk, director of men's affairs, said Tuesday. Hawk observed that fraternity members and alumni who have criticized this year's poor turnout for rush week have failed to ob serve the large number of non freshmen who pledged outside of rush week. This year 58 boarders and 39 upper classmen pledged during fall term while 120 fresh men pledged during rush week. Combining these figures with the freshmen who have pledged thus far during open rushing, fraterni ties have gotten about 250 pledges • this year in contrast to their 309 pledges at this lime, last year. But 110 men who pledged during last ‘ year's fall term rush week failed to make their grades, so this year’s figures give the fraternities 51 nrore pledges this year than last year, Hawk pointed out. The proposed magazine, accord ing to the petition submitted, would be published one a term, average about 40 pages in size and sell at 35 cents per iasue or $1 for a year's subscription. "This literary magazine is in tended primarily as an outlet for creative writing talent of students ... but contributions from faculty members, alumni and interested friends may be printed occasion ally," the petition began. Ntudent Staff Staff of the magazine would consist entirely of students, it con tinued. but two faculty representa tives, appointed yearly by the University President, would "be concerned with checking any in advisable financial operations . . .

Carlisle Moore, associate profes sor of English, will speak on the author's life and his principal works, which have become increas ingly popular since 1940. The increasing popularity of Fitzgerald in our generation is due probably to the fact that his writ ings represent a post-war age sim ilar to that one in which we arc now living. Moore hap stated. Fitzgerald wrote about life in the 1920's. His novels are studies of youth in the Jazz-age, present ing their cynicism, confusion and eventual tragedy. Moore will discuss three of Fitz gerald's well known novels, “The Great Gatsby," 1925; "Beautiful and Damned," 1922; and "Tendor is the Night,” 1934. "Fitzgerald is a fine stylist and the quality of his prose is certain ly distinguished," Moore said. The quality of his writings grew as his life was marked by dissipation, he said. Moore graduated with honors from Princeton university and has been on the staff of the Univer sity since 1946. He has previously taught at Cornell university in New York and Michigan State Normal college, East Lansing. Mich. Discussion leader is W. F. G. Thacher, professor emeritus of English. 1 The lecture is open to the public. Price Reduction Result of Conflict Students will receive price re ductions to "name bands" appear ances when these dates conflict with week day closing hours, Vcrn Minkler, of Eugene's Arena ball room announced Tuesday. Because of road schedules, many of the “name bands" are forced to play in Eugene in the middle of the week. As many students wouldn't be able to stay for the whole eve ning. Minkler felt it wouldn't be fair to charge the complete price. The policy will be in effect Wed nesday when Woody Herman and his band appear at the ballroom, and will continue to prevail. Preparations Set For Senior Ball With only four days remaining until Saturday's Senior Ball, fea turing Oregon's first "name band" since 1049, committee prepara tions are rolling into high gear. All-campus ticket sales begin to day, with ticket booths in opera tion from 9 a m. to 4 :30 p.m. in the Co-op and Student Union. Booth sales will continue through Friday. Tickets now on sale in men’s living organizations will be collected Thursday night. Tickets, at $2.60 a couple, will also be available at the door Saturday night.

OSC Houses Sign Formal Complaint On Dime Phones A formal complaint. signed by three Oregon State college Greek houses, protesting the legality of the proposed installation of pay phones there, is in the hands of Peter Gunnar, Salem lawyer for the OSC pay phone committee, and will be filed immediately with the Public Utilities commission. Norm Goetze. chairman of the Co-op Managers' association at OSC, which has been leading the anti-pay phone fight there, de livered the complaint to Gunnar Tuesday. It was signed by the presidents of Kappa Delta and Alpha Gamma Delta sororities, and Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. The FUC is required to set a date for a formal hearing within 10 days after it receives a complaint, Goetze said. ‘“Oregon ... Will be Invited” "The University of Oregon and Willamette will undoubtedly be in vited by the PUC to participate in the hearing,' Goetze said. "Usually, all parties interested in such a dispute are invited.” He explained that any action taken in regard to the OSC houses would also be ap plied to sororities, fiatemities and co-ops here. OSC Greek and co-op houses do not have pay phones at this time. They succeeded in stalling the phone company when an attempt was made to put in coin boxes this fall. The situation here is different, with pay phones already in the houses; but if OSC succeeds in permanently stopping installation in its own houses, the pay phones would also have to go out at Ore gon. If the OSC group is successful in its protest, the University of Ore gon administration has stated that it would ask that pay phones in the dormitories be removed also, in order to assure all students equal telephone service. End of Campaign This news from OSC climaxes a six-month on-again, off-again campaign to remove the payphones or the threat of them from both campuses.

Fred G. Scherer of the Fair mount Presbyterian church. At Tuesday night's initial Mar riage and Family series lecture in the Student Union, Rev. Scherer I declared that respect, mutual rec ■ rcational interests and religion are ; t he three fundamental factors in establishing a happy marriage, i He described respect as an “af firmative view" towards the other person, adding that the feeling j should be mutual. Analysis By analyzing the ingredients of a pleasant evening, a couple can see. whether or not they share mutual, wholsesome recreational interests, he said. Regarding religion, Rev. Scherer j declared that a couple must elevate ! the idea of marriage to a spiritual level, thinking of themselves as sharing in God's creative process. Too many people, he said, think of a child as the result of parental sin. degrading the idea of marriage. "There is no formula which you can follow in selecting a husband, or wife, although these three fun damentals should be considered," he said. Other Matters Other things to consider in mate selection include accepting the in terests of the other pe: son, and looking into the patterns set up in the other person by his, or her, family. A couple shouldn't worry about an occasional fight, according to Rev. Scherer. "It is impossible for two people to spend.much time together with out having a scrap. Many people actually enjoy it." he said. "However, both parties should reach some sort of agreement on the dispute, even if only to agree to let the argument stand," he (Flease turn to )agc eight) Robbins, Seamen To Discuss UMT At 4 p.m. Today L'n;vtr‘al Military Training wiJV by the topic of a pro ar,d con dis cussion sponsored by tf.e YWCA sophomo: e cabinet at 4 p.m. today in the Student Union.
