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.

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.

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 and 5 abstaining.
