Birthday Gifts Startle Nelson
As Dogs, Pigs, Chicks Arrive
Lj le Nelson, director of public ncrvlpp, had a birthday anniver
sary Thursday. And hln co-worker* In Johnson hall—plus some
unknown “friend*”—cooperated to *rnd him th« following gift*:
• A small black-and-white female poppy (unhousebroken)
complete with sweater
^ Two guinea pigs
0 Two baby chirk*
0 A moth-eaten—but very much alive—rooster
0 A mouse—and a hunk of cheese
0 A live duek—or at least something that looks like a live duck.
The two guinea pigs and the batty chicks arrived early Thursday
morning at Nelson's office. He promptly took them downstairs to
the busement and released them In the Tnlversity Photo Lab.
Most of the stuff was delivered to Nelson's home, and his wife
said Thursday that she was having a "hectic day."
"We thought we might lie able to kill and eat the rooster,” she
said, “but It’s got some feathers missing and looks a little un
healthy. They might ut least have sent something useful."
The duck—"I think It's a duck,” she said—arrived In a big gunny
sack. The puppy has already made necessary a trip to the laundry
for one green chenille rug.
"There better not be any more animals," she. said Thursday
afternoon, while gifts were still arriving. A rumor was circulating
through Johnson hall that a goat was on its way late Thursday
afternoon.
"Our two kids have loved all this, of course," Mrs. Nelson said,
“and so ha*e Mir neighbors.”
Senate Approves
Phone Statement
The ASUO senate Thursday ap- '
proved the policy statement issued
by the University administration
on Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph company’s conditional offer
to replace pay phones in fraterni
ties, sororities and co-ops with
flat-rate business phones.
The administration view, which
followed a conference between Uni
versity and PT&T officials Thurs
day, expressed appreciation for
the company’s "willingness to re
establish business flat-rate service
for fraternities and sororities and
cooperatives."
"We (the administration) shall
ask that all the pay phones in the
dormitories, not readily accessible
to the general public, bo removed,"
it continued.
Compromise Possible
It suggested- in effect—that if
the phone company did not agree
to removal of pay phones from
dormitories, a compromise might
be reached along the line of a cam
pus switchboard.
"It would not be an intra-cam
pus exchange," he explained, "but
an exchange where you could call
outside.”
Dick Knding, ASUO phone com
mittee chairman, said he was
pleased with the situation as it
now stood.
"I think that we should be well
satisfied with the position . . . we
are now in,” he stated. “I don't
think the company (PT&Tl will
ever again bring back pay phones
. . . to the University of Oregon.”
"The telephone company," said
DuShane, . . understood and
agrees with the statement.”
