Fraternity Fined by IFC
For Rushing Violations
I4 men totaling $150 were levied
against Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Thursday by an Inter-Fraternity
Council tribunal meeting for il
legal rushing. This brings the fines
paid by the fraternity this school
year for illegal rushing to §230.
The tribunal action came about
after five rushees were discovered
with a number of SAE's at 2:30
a.m. Thursday in Harry's Snappy
Service, a downtown cafe.
This action was in definite vio
lation of section 11 of the IFC
constitution governing rushing
riiles, according to Jim Harding,
vice president of IFC. This section
states that any fraternity keep
ing a rushee out after hours or
entertaining any rushee after
hours will forfeit the right to
pledge the man and will be sub
ject to a $20 fine.
Lose* Pledge Right
Under this rule three of the
men, who were second term fresh
men, lost their right to ever
pledge the fraternity. The house
was fined $20 for each man. The
men will not be allowed to pledge
any fraternity until fall term of
1903, Harding stated.
The fourth man, a transfer stu- !
dent this term, will be allowed to j
continue through rush week, but
will not be allowed to pledge SAE.
The house was also fined $20 for
the man. The tribunal felt the
man could be excused since he
was new and unfamiliar with the
rules, Harding said.
I.united Contact
The fifth man was a freshman
who is not eligible for rushing at
this time. As a result of tribunal
action the man cannot pledge SAE
for one year and may not pledge
any house until farm term of 1953.
SAE was fined $00 for this vio
Wright Pilots Class
In Building Tour
Gordon Wright, head of the
history department, led a group
of students on a guided tour of
Commonwealth Thursday morn
ing at 8.
Anyone who happened in the
corridors of the campus’ newest
building would have been puz
zled to see Wright stalking the
second and third floors with
some 70 students behind him.
The tour was a result of a
mix-up when it was found that
the extra 8 a.m. Thursday ses
sion of the Tsarist Russia class ■
(which also meets at 9 a.m.
Tuesday and Thursday) was
scheduled for room 231 and that
Associate Professor Bingham’s
Oregon history class was also in
that room.
The two classes had to be dis
entangled and the tour began as
Wright sought to find an empty
room large enough for the group.
After roaming through the build
ing with the students following,
some speculated on the chances
of holding class in the corridor
until they could get into their
regular room. Wright settled
on room 238.
At 9 a.m. the class was on
the move again as they shifted
back to room 231 for the second
hour of lecture.
lation. Harding explained that
•since he was not eligible, the man
was still under the limited con
tact rule.
Harding also warned all frater
nities that rushing ends Saturday
and will not resume again until
the fifth week of this term.

Simpson Tells
Of Land Bridge
"Evidence acquired through a
j study of paleontology indicates
| that a land bridge between Eur
! asia and North America in the
general area of the Aleutian is
lands is the only such connection
j involved in mammal migration,”
] George Gaylord Simpson told an
j audience of 000 in the SU ball
room Thursday evening.
Concluding the second lecture
on campus tn the annual Condon \
series, Simpson declared that j
faunal relationships derived from I
a geographical study of evolution
is conclusive evidence that such a
bridge was operative until fairly
recently in the time span of ge
ology.
The greatest contribution of the
science of paleontology to the ge
ological sciences is the accurate
and precise reconstruction of the
condition of the earth's crust in
past ages as a result of the com- ;
bined study of rocks and fossils,
he said.
Climatic conditions were a ma- i
jor factor in determining the lo
cation of such a land bridge. Simp
son said. Mammals from the
temperate zones tended to migrate j
between the two land masses
rather than those known to be
native of tropical zones.
Simpson denied the validity of
a tropical climatic zones once ex- i
isting in the arctic regions of the ;
modern earth as "grossly exag
gerated ” He stated that the tem
perate zones were once located ,
much further north than they are !
today but never so.far north as
to exclude the arctic zones during
the age of mammals.
Simpson dealt more specifically
with the topic, evolution and ge
ography, which was introduced at
the Tuesday night lecture in de
veloping the relationships between i
tho animals found in the New
World and those found in the Old.
He indicated that the resem
blance between the fauna found
on the two land masses was due
to the environment in which the
animals evolved and the inter
migration of these animals
through the use of the land bridge
located across the Bering straits.

I/O Young Republicans
Sponsor Bayly Talk
Day T. Bayly, Lane county judge
currently facing a recall action,
will address an ooen meeting Mon
day at 8 p.m. in the Osburn hotel
under the sponsorship of the Uni
versity of Oregon Young Repub
licans.
Bayly, charged with “failure to
cooperate with county employees
and lack of proper qualifications to
bold office", will speak on “Court
house conditions and problems in
the court house.” A half hour ques
tion period wiil follow the speech.
The recall action is sponsored by
the “Lane County Recall Bayly
Committee,” composed mainly of
residents of the Mohawk valley
area.
One of the reasons for the recall,
according to the committee, is the
method Bayly used in "brushing
us off” when representatives of
| the Mohawk Valley associations
| went to the judge about the Q
| street drainage problem along the
North Springfield city limits.
The Monday night address will
be one of the few Bayly will make
before the Jan. 22 recall election.
Originally planning a “vigorous”
campaign, Bayly was forced to
cancel most of his appearances be
cause of poor health.
According to Bruce Holt, presi
dent of the campus Young Repub
licans, Bayly’s talk is being spon
sored by the group as a non-parti
san activity. All students and
townspeople are invited, Holt add
ed.
faculty colleagues that ne has ren»
dered particularly fair and valu*
able service as a member of this*
committee.”
Contacted at his home Thursday
evening, Wengert described the ap
pointment as "a serious job to be
undertaken.”
‘‘I expect to learn something,”
he added.
Two other appointments—Dad's.
Day and Duck Preview chairmen—
went, in that order, to John Gam
iles, senior in business, and Sunny
Allen and Eob Summers, who peti
tioned as co-chairmen. Miss Allen,
is a junior in English, Summer-?
a sophomore in liberal arts.
In the realm of the coming
freshman election, the senate slap
ped a ten dollar maximum on
amounts any freshman candidate
can spend on his campaign. Thi-*

and set the deadline for Tuesday,
Jan. 20.
John Straub, offered by Torn,
Shepherd, and to increase tho>
booths from four to five (with they

Mrs. Frye said she did not knovtf
what the penalty would be for vio
lators of election regulations but
suggested that “if they (the fresh
men) violated them outrageously ’
the winning candidate might be
considered “illegally elected.”
Don Collin, senior in economics
who first raised objection to Wash
ke's appointment on Nov. 20. prais
ed the appointment of Wengert,
and said that his “legal mind'
would be of aid to the committee.
Wengert studied law and was ad
mitted to the bar in Wisconsin.
The senate discussed Washke, a
professor of physical education, in
executive session Dec. 4 and turns'!
down his appointment, 14 against

an earlier meeting it was records H

Collin’s objection was based on a
decision of the constitutional com

contested ASUO election but set
aside a constitutional amendment
voted on at the same time.
The minutes state:
