Good Move
It's nice to see IFC “on the
ball.” A lot of people* us in
cluded, were pretty disap
pointed with what appeared
to have happened at last
week's meeting when, so it
seemed, that-group was beat
~ing its head against the same
. old stone wall.
We’re still not quite sure
what happened. Is this sup
. port of deferred living a real
“turn around” in their policy?
• Or is it possible that last
week’s meeting, as many
members indicate, was so con
. fused that nobody knew just
exactly what was coming off?
It would be easy to think the
latter. Con Shelter, the very
able new prexy, took over at
that meeting with no back
ground whatsoever. He told
us lie wasn t sure just exactly
what the group had done with
that . piece of junk called
“Spotlight on the Report- of
the Alumni Committee to
Study Deferred Living.”
One of the members of the
committee appointed by IFC
to look into the matter of de
ferred living said that when
the report came up he just
kept his mouth shut. He didn’t
know if that committee had
done anything—thought mav
. be the group had met without
him and had drawn this thing
. up.
But they hadn’t. The report,
a slick piece of work hut very
misleading — in some cases
downright false — was the job
of one person and didn't ex
press the council’s feelings.
But one thing is sure. The
fraternities and the school
both have suffered by this ep
isode. Some members men
tioned phone calls from out
of-town alums who wondered
just what was going on. Very
regrettable — but that’s just
exactly w hat happens when
people leap before they look.
Obviously if fraternities
had their way, deferred living
would go out the window. But
they don’t (thank God). And
they know this. The general
feelink expressed was to the
effect that while the Univer
sity has a definite interest in
keeping the fraternity system
intact, if it came to a show
down . . . well . . . we d still
have deferred living.
But it certainly doesn’t have
to come to that. And there’s
very little chance that it ever
will now that they've decided
to work with, instead of
against, the administration.
As Ron Lowell put it, the ad
ministration can’t be threat
ened into anything. But it will
be only too glad to cooperate
just as soon as the fraternity
system quits hollering about
injustice.
Et Tu, Edna ?

Oregon Answers
Call for Flood Relief
The people of Oregon contribut
ed $214.50 for flood relief on the
island of Thoen, Holland, accord
ing to a letter just received from
Wim van Eekeren.
Van Eekeren, who received his
masters degree in journalism here
last year, wrote to Gordon Sa
bine, dean of the journalism school,
asking for aid for his homeland
early in February when the dikes
broke in Holland during one of the
worst floods in Europe’s history.
In his letter, Van Eekeren said
“mere words cannot express our
gratitude for the response we re
ceived to our appeal to you for a
‘simple dollar’.”
A total of $299 was received by
the people of the island. Eugene
contributed $178 and the town of
Lakeview donated $33. The rest of
the money came from California
and the east coast, Van Eekeren
said.
