Little Early Change Seen
Following Board Action
By Jackie Wardell
Emerald Annan) Newi Editor
The 'two proposals approved at
the recent Oregon state board of
higher education meeting will have
little immediate effect on the Uni
versity of Oregon, according to
Lyle Nelson, director of public
services.
These proposals would open all
five schools of higher education to
both elementary and secondary
teacher training and provide four
years less one quarter of teacher
education at Portland State col
lege. The latter proposal is the
first step toward creating a sepa
rate degree-granting institution in
Pot Hand.
The present plan would see Port
land State students taking at least
one term of work in residence at
one of the other state institutions
of higher education. This school
would then grant the degree. Nel
son said that any increase in en
rollment here because of such a
plan would be negligible.
Nor will a four year institution
at Portland cause any decrease in
enrollment, according to Nelson.
By the time the program is put
into effect (it's due to be present
ed to the people in 1955 under the
Oregon law that there can be no
state institutions outside of Marion
county without a vote of the peo
ple), colleges will be experiencing
the upsurge in enrollment that is
now being felt in the grade and
junior high schools.
The addition of elementary
teacher training to the Oregon cur
riculum will necessitate an ex
panded practice teacher program.
Approximately S12.000 the first
Students to Face
Fee Fine Monday
More than 1000 students will
have to complete registration steps
by noon Saturday or face a late
payment fee of $5 Monday and $1
for each day thereafter, according
to Clifford L. Constance, registrar.
Approximately that number of the
expected enrollment has not yet
paid fees for winter term.
Jan. 19 is the last day to regis
ter, cancel or change courses. Stu
dents who drop or change coifrses
after that date will have to re
ceive a grade.
Athletic cards may be obtained
upon presentation of the winter
term student body card at the
athletic office in McArthur cojirt.
The cards may be picked up until
5 tonight and anytime thereafter.
A winter term athletic card is nec
essary for admission to the basket
ball games this weekend with
Washington State college.
Churchill Talks
With Truman
WASHINGTON — (TP) — Prime
Minister Churchill talked with
President Truman for an hour and
20 minutes at the White House
Thursday.
The 78-year-old British leader
described the talks as very pleas
ant, but gave no hint of their con
tent. The White House said the
meeting was a friendly, social ses
sion.
yfar of the program and $32,000 ]
the second year will be needed for I
the expanded program at Oregon.
The most expensive part of the
practice teaching will be added the
second year of the program, there
fore the increased cost that year.
An additional $3000 will be needed
for books for the library, Nelson
said.
Under the new plan students
A/ho are freshmen this year will be
able to major in elementary educa
tion by the time they are juniors.
Present sophomores will have to
take an extra year of work in or
der to receive an elementary edu
cation degree at Oregon.
A proposal to allow the three
colleges of education—at Mon
mouth, La Grande and Ashland—
to grant liberal aits degrees was
defeated by the board by a five to
three vote.
According to University Presi
dent H. K. Newburn such a major
break in the'present system which
allocates liberal arts to the Uni
versity should not be made with
out a more extensive study and
the opening of the entire system of
allocations.

The Petition
I;aust received the petition
near the end of fall term, but
did not release the petition un
til riiursday. 1 he petition
reads as follows:
“We, the undersigned, hereby
petition the ‘Associated Greek
Students,’ campus political par
ty, for membership.
The reasons for our petition
follow:
1— We believe that since u e
are Greek letter social organi
zations, we will be able to help
meet more adequately fraternity
and sorority problems as they
affect the University of Oregon
through our membership ip
AGS.
2— We believe that with ail
fraternities and sororities united
we can better promote mutual
understanding and cooperation
among the Greeks on the cam
pus.
3— We believe that the AGS
platform of last spring illustrat
ed the progressiveness of the
AGS party. Thq proposed pri
mary election can do much to
further promote democratic gov
ernment at the University of
Oregon.”
The petition was signed by Anne
Gentle, Alpha Xi president: Bob
Metz. Delta Upsilon president;
Dick Krommel. Lambda Chi presi
dent. and Dick Davis, SAM presi
dent.
AGS Meets Monday
AGS will meet Monday at 4 p.m.
at Kappa Kappa Gamma to discus-*
the petition, which will be read and
discussed at that time.
According to Faust this will be
the first time in several years that
all the Greek houses will have been
united in one party, if AGS accepts
the petition.
Metz, who is acting as the
spokesman for the four houses,
says that the four are “very”
willing to accept the. one year
penalty which will be levied
against them if they return. Un
der the AGS constitution, any
bouse which leaves the party
and then returns, may not nom
inate any officers for AGS or
ASUO offices for a period of on©
year from the time of reinstate
ment.
Public Relations
Metz said that the four felt that
with the problem of public rela
tions facing the fraternities and
sororities, it is becoming “increas
ing evident” that the Greek*
should be united. “After all, we are
Greeks, we should belong to the
Greek party and work for the good
of all Greeks," he stated.
Thursday night the Emerald waf\
unable to contact USA leaders for
comment on the petition.
