Preview of Oregon's 21 Fraternity Houses Is Scheduled For Freshman Men
A preview of Oregon’s 21 fra
ternity houses for freshmen men
Mas been scheduled for 2 p.m. Sun
day.
As in the previous two years
this will be their only chance tc
see the houses due to the Univer
sity's policy of deferred living.
Also under the deferred living
plan, fraternity men are not al
lowed to be seen with a freshman
for an extended period of time
for rushing purposes, according to
Fred Baltz, secretary of the Inter
Fraternity Council. He added that
freshmen are also not allowed to
visit the fraternity houses unless
they have an excuse from Ray
Hawk, director of men s aftairs, or
have a brother living in the house.
The same rules apply to fraternity
men in relation to the freshmen
dormitories, Baltz said.
Upperclassmen who are curent
ly uoaruing in a iraiernuy jiuusu
must pledge by September 22,
Baltz ssid. The men must also go
to at least three houses during this
period, he added.
How the Flying Tigers got over the Ilump

1. In November, 1945, we told the .-dory, in this series, of
12 India-China “hump” flyers from the American Volun
teer Group who came home from the wor ar.d started
an air freight business. They called their company
The Flying Tiger Line Inc.

2* As we told you then, the veterans pooled
all their savings but they still needed additional
capital to launch their project. Several Los
Angeles businessmen offered to furnish this capi
tal on a 50-50 basis—the veterans to operate the
company. This capital enabled them to start op
erations on June 25, 1945, with 8 war surplus
Conestoga cargo planes.
3. Over the last seven years the company’s
growth has been spectacular. Their fleet of planes
lias grown from 8 to 39. In 1949 they received the
first certificate to fly U.S. Air Freight Route 100.
And they now operate daily transcontinental
schedules to 43 cities, in addition to world-wide
contract and charter services. The company
has now contracted for seven new DC-6A’s—
the largest order ever placed for cargo planes.

4. Last year their fleet earned a total revenue
of $15)'2 million compared to $458 thousand the
first year. In 1951 their planes flew a total of
over 13Jii million miles compared to Vi million
miles the first year. Today The Flying Tiger
Line Inc., is the world’s largest certificated
freight and contract air carrier.
5. The company has used Union Oil aviation
products since it began operations in 1945. But
that doesn’t seem nearly as important to us as
the fact that the men were able to accomplish
these things. It could hardly have happened
under anything but the American profit and loss
system.
6* For without the profit incentive the business
men wouldn’t have put up the capital to start
the business in the first place. Without the hope
of gaining financial independence, the veterans
wouldn’t have had the incentive to sweat out the
problems of starting the company and develop
ing it. Altogether, we think it’s a wonderful
example of the advantages of our American free
enterprise system over others.
