Students Expelled From University Two students were expelled from the University by action of the Student Discipline committee Thursday. The action, most severe in the University’s disciplinary code, was taken by unanimous vote and was the result of a charge of breaking and entering a University building. Both students had confessed to the charges of breaking into the Business office in Emerald hall and altering and removing grade cards and other official records. An ex pulsive action bars these students from attending the University or any other recognized institution of higher education. It is the policy of the discipline committee not to release names of code violators unless it is impos sible to keep their identity secret, Mirror Makes Thief Repent Have you over opened an en velope and had $370 Muring you In I he fare? Kay llawk, anaoriate director of xtiident affairs, did just that Thursday morning. Along with the money Hawk received a printed note from the thief who robbed four fraternities Mon day night. I’olice had been investigating the robbery of Kappa Sigma, Sigma Xu, Phi Kappa Psi and Chi I’si, and the mystery was solved Thursday with the re turn of the stolen money. The money will be re-distributed through the house presidents to the individual members who had money stolen. The note enclosed with the money was printed on a piece of torn note paper and read: “Dear Mr. Hawk: “I am returning the money because I couldn’t live with my self. It would be alright if I didn’t have to look at myself when I shave in the morning. I need this money worse than anyone for reasons of my own, hut this is no way to get it. I have learned a good lesson and I certainly hope that every one gets their money hack. 1 may he a coward for not signing my name but I have paid for this mistake a thousand times since Monday night.” “This event can’t help but give all of us u boost in our faith in human nature,” Hawk declared. “Personally, I was flabbergasted. Don DuShane, (director of student affairs) was so surprised on seeing the money that he answered the phone twice, said he would call back and never checked to sec who called," Hawk said.

Phi Delta Theta's Dick Morse was elected vice-presi dent and Phi Sigma Kappa's Fred Baltz was re-elected secretary. A run-off election between Hutchins and Jerry Shaw of Alpha Tau Omega was required to gain the necessary majority of votes for president. Other candidates were Morse and Phi Kappa Psi's Jim Harding. In the vice-presidential race Morse was opposed by Jim Rippey of Sigma Phi Epsilon and in the secretarial race Baltz was opposed by Sigma Alpha Mu's Dick Davis. Preceding the elections, outgoing President Dick McLaughlin ap pointed Bob Metz of Delta Upsilon to head a committee on the grave yard situation. The appointment followed pro and con discussion on a motion for fraternities to clean up the cemetery slightly before Memorial day. The committee will examine the possibilities in the project. The group decided to instruct the JIFC to compile a list of pos sible fraternity workers in sup porting the hell to help week plan. Wright Discusses Foreign Affairs American foreign policy toward France and North Africa ‘‘is the case of an almost impossible choice," Gordon Wright, acting head of the history department, said Thursday night in a Student Union talk. “The French regime in North Africa is not the answer to an idealist's prayer," he said, but we must with reservations—continue to back them. "The French right now and for the next decade . . . are of crucial" importance to us," he stated, ack nowledging at the same time that "most of us are on the Arab side.” Wright cited several examples of the delicate balance between France and her colonies and said that a pro-Arab policy on our part would probably mean destruction of Paris's present steps to improve the North African situation and" result in a uncompromising, colo nial regime. This is one lisk we must face in even applying "the nudge" to the French, as he suggested we should. Another danger of this policy, he added, is that it “may induce (the North Africans) to turn to Mos cow." He suggested that “we put the heat on the French in a discreet way" and make sure that some of the economic aid pouring into France be directed into North Af rica. He also suggested a “time schedule" for more Arab home rule. Women's Rush Plans Readied Spring term rushing for women will begin Saturday and Sunday with open houses for rushees and any other woman interested. Pan hellenic President Joan Webb has announced. All rushees will meet at 4 p.m. today in the Student Union. Those attending the open house are to. meet at Gerlinger at 1:30 p.m. Sat urday and Sunday. Members of (Please turn to page eight) Sig Eps lose head . . . Flea-bitten Herman Missing After Tour Around Campus Herman is missing again. The 11 year-old flea-bitten moose head has flitted to and from the Sigma Phi Epsilon house since last spring and has finally disap peared. Purchased last year by Alpha Phi Omega, national service orga nization, Herman was awarded to the Sig Eps Tom Barry in last spring’s APO Ugly Man contest. He was presented at the Vodvil show in a large red box entitled "The Thing”. Sig Ep efforts notwithstanding, Herman remained at the house the rest of spring term and through the summer. Then, at the time of the Stanford-Oregon foot- ( ball game in Portland, he disap peared, and almost immediately: showed up at the front window of the Sigma Chi house. Rumors circulated at the time— 1 but just rumors, you understand— | that the Sig Eps were in some way ! responsible for the transfer. Tom Barry had no comment. Herman was next seen on the j Alpha Xi Delta front porch just before Christmas; then he was gone again. During the next few months Herman was shunted about cam pus— from the Vets' Dorms to the [ Sig Ep house—and then, early one morning, students who were up at that hour saw Herman tied to th* Pioneer Mother, smoking a cigar ette and bearing a sign—“Get me outta’ Here!” The physical plant headquarters claimed him .then, and he was re turned to the Sig Eps. Two weeks later Herman turned* up on the Gamma Phi Beta front steps, then he disappeared again. He apparently hasn’t been seerv since. Alpha Phi Omega has sent out an urgent call for Herman, who is needed for this spring’s Ugly Man contest. A reward has been offered for his return to Marty Johnson, Sigma Phi Epsilon.
