Emerald Steps Up Publishing Schedule;
Side Steps College Trend in Cut Issues
The Oregon Daily Emerald starts
a stepped-up schedule this term.
The paper will be published five
times a week beginning Jan. 12 in
stead of four times weekly as done
fall term.
The Emerald will publish four
page papers on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of each week.
Eight page papers will be publish
ed on Thursday and Friday.
The development is contrary to
the national trend of college news
papers to cut on the number of is
sues and even toward elimination
of the newspapers in some cases.
The revised schedule was caused
by production cost increases not
noted in the original 1952-53 budg
et. A special publications board
sub-committee headed by E. C.
Robbins, instructor in economics
and a member of the board, inves
tigated the problem. The commit
tee report stated:
“The Special Emerald committee
Pre-med Students
To Quiz Committee
Prospective applicants for ad
mission to the University of Ore
gon Medical School will have a
chance to question the admissions
committee concerning applications,
qualifications and premedical
work, Thursday at 7:20 p.m., in
Science 16. Interviews with the
committee will be held Friday and
Saturday.
Members of the admissions com
mittee are E. S. West, head of the
biochemistry department; Joseph
B. Trainor, assistant professor of
physiology; R. D. Grondahl, head
of the division of clinical panthol

has received evidence that the Uni
versity press subsidized the Em
erald during the school year 1951
52 by over $3500 despite informa
tion to the contrary given to the
Student Publications board during
that period. Under the full-cost
policy put into effect by the Uni
versity press this December, our
best estimate is that if we continue
our present printing program the
printing expense will exceed the
budgeted amount by approxi
mately $2476.46. This amount can
not be squeezed out of the balance
of the present budget.”
The committee recommended the
five day schedule, stating that it
believed that the printing budget
can be balanced for winter and
spring term under the new ar
rangement.
'Rush' Starts Monday;
IFC Assembly Tonight
^AlTmen interested in winter term rush should attend the Interfra
temity Council assembly in the Student Union ballroom tonight at 7,

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta
Fined for Illegal Rushing Procedures
Two fraternities were fined for
illegal rushing procedures at an
Inter-Fraternity Council tribunal
meeting held near the end of fall
term.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi
Gamma Delta were fined for illegal
freshman rushing and an illegal
boarder respectively. SAE’s were
fined $50 and the Fiji’s were fined
$30. This is the second fine levied
against the SAE’s this year.
The freshman illegally rushed by
the SAE’s loses his right to pledge
for one year. According to Baltz,
“No fraternity will be allowed to
rush the freshman until fall term,
1953, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon will
not be allowed to pledge the man
until one year from Dec. 12.”
Also at the Dec. 12 meeting, the
council elected Dick Morse, Phi
Delta Theta, president to replace
Jack Hutchins, who did not return
to school this term. Jim Harding,
Phi Kappa Psi, was selected to
serve as vice president, replacing
Morse.
Chairmen Wanted
For Heart Hop
Petitions for the Heart Hop
are due Jan. 12, according to
Norma Hamilton, Y sophomore
cabinet chairman. Petitions may
be picked up on the third floor
of the SU, and turned in to the
Y or to Norma Hamilton or Mary
^Vilson.
Open chairmanships include
general chairman, decorations,
coronations, publicity, refresh
ments, tickets, promotion and vot
ing.
A movie, "A Toast to Brother
hood” will be shown. The film will
provide general information on
fraternities and rush week and
might “help clear up some mis
conceptions about fraternity life,”
Morse said.
Before the movie Frederick
Hunter, honorary chancellor of
the State System of Higher Edu
cation and member of Chi Phi,
national fraternity, will speak on
the fraternity system.
A question and answer period
will follow the film. Jim Harding,
IFC vice president, and Morse
will answer any questions the men
might have. Morse advised those
planning to attend to have their
questions written out and to bring
pencil and paper for note taking.
Board Approves
Teacher-training
At State Colleges
The State board of higher educa
tion voted today to ask the legisla
ture to permit elementary and sec
ondary teacher-training at state
financed colleges.
At present, elementary teacher
training is limited to the 3 state
colleges of education at Monmouth,
Ashland and La Grande. Second
ary teacher-training is carried on
only at University of Oregon and
Oregon State college.
Under the board’s proposal pri
mary and secondary training
would be offered at all the schools
and at Portland State college.
The recommendation is one of
several suggested by a teacher edu
cation survey conducted recently
for the board by Earl W. Anderson
of Ohio State university.
The board rejected another of
Anderson’s major proposals. It
called for a limited liberal arts
program in humanities, social sci
ence and science-mathematics at
the 3 colleges of education.
In other action, the board rec
ommended that Portland State be
made a 4-year school. If the need
for such a college is proved, it
would offer non-professional de
grees. At present, Portland State
is a 2-year school.
The board proposed that the col
lege be allowed for a 2-year trial
period to offer 3 and 2-thirds years
of work toward a degree in an ac
credited university. If the program
worked out, the 1955 legislature
would refer to the voters the ques
tion of amending the law to per
mit establishment of a 4-year col
lege at Portland State.
Petitions Asked

Petitions have been called for
chairmanships of the eighth an
nual YMCA-YWCA International
Fun Fest, a gathering of foreign

hour, invitations, evening pro
gram, programs, registration,
housing and general secretary.

en’s affairs, Mrs. Golda Wickham,
