Experiences Revision
* or the first time in seven years
Oregon students will experience a
change in the pre-registration pro
cedure for winter term, Clifford
L. Constance, registrar, has an
nounced.
The change, which has been de
sired for a number of years, was
made possible this year by de
creased enrollment.
Reasons behind the change in
clude a desire to facilitate the ad
vising program and to increase at
„ tendance at post-holiday classes.
Oregon State college is completely
dropping the pre-registration pro
cess, according to Constance.
- Adviser Conferences Remain
The change in procedure means I
* that students will not enroll for;

conferences.
" These conferences will be 'held

. adviser will meet his advisees as
a group. Trial programs in the
. new time schedules, which will be
issued all day Nov. 30 in the regis
, trar’s office in Emerald hall, are
to be used.
. If there is not time to plan a
program at the meeting, students
are to make individual appoint- j
. ments with their advisers within j
the following two weeks. When:
the new program is completed, the
„ adviser will sign the student’s
copy form provided in the class
- schedule.

for lack of a place to hold it, a
rally wil be held at 7:30 p. m. to
• day, immediately following the
noise parade, at 15th and Agate
streets behind the University ten
" nis courts, A1 Goldenberg, rally

■ rally squad will lead students in
yells and school songs.
Members of the Alpha Phi
. pledge class will entertain with a
special football skit. .
it is to be presented for checking
against the official registration
card. If the study programs are
identical, it will not be necessary
for a student to see his adviser on
registration day. Section changes
will be allowed, however.
Preliminary study program
blanks are provided in the new
class schedules, which should be
taken to the adviser-advisee
meetings Nov. 30. Forms are pro

of a late fee, if the first three
steps are completed on Jan. 4.

Opinions on Court
Sought by Senate
The senate instructed ASUO
Pres. Tom Wrightson to gather
information on the legality of the
student court and submit it to the
ASUO constitution committee for
an opinion, during its Thursday
night meeting.
The motion followed a discus
sion of the student court growing
out of the recent situation when
J. Kelly Farris, law student, re
fused to pay a traffic fine to the
court because he said that it had
no legal power to collect the fine'.
At the present time, Donald Du
Shane, director of student affairs,
assured the senate, the administra
tion considers the court correct in
its procedures.
The motion was a result of
of statements by Bob Funk, sen
ator-at-large, that he felt the
situation needed clarification by
a legal authority.
Carl Weber, student court
chairman, appeared before the
senate to discuss the situation. He

fusing to comply with requests of
the court were turned over to the
student affairs office for what
then becomes disciplinary action.
