    • Changes Effected
By IFC Meeting
Two changes in the Inter Fra
- ternity Council constitution were
. approved by the group at its reg
ular meeting Thursday night."
The changes will allow men
(. whose GPA is below 2.0 but who
are allowed by the University to
~ return to be repledged, and will
^permit fraternity men to enter
dormitories after rush week.
The current section of the IFC
constitution provides that a man
| Automatically be dropped from
pledging if he does not make his
jrades in three terms. Under the
lew rule, in those cases where the
University permits the man to re
:urn on a "peg” grade, the frater
I'fiity may repledge the man.
A general feeling by both the
dormitory counelors and IFC mem
bers that the current rule govern
ing fraternity men in dormitories
Is too strict caused the rule
.^Change. The new’ ruling allows
fraternity men to enter the dorm
itories anytime after the comple
tion of formal rush week.

Libe Exam File
Ready Mondatf'
The first examinations in the
ASUO library test file will be
available to students in the library
reference room beginning Monday,
Donald DuShane, director of stu
dent affairs, announced to the AS
UO senate at its Thursday night
meeting.
Kxams from the military depart
ment and the school of architec
ture and allied arts make up the
hulk of the file at present along
with a number of other miscellan
eous exams from other schools and
departments. Others are expected
to be added.
The file is a result of work done
by the senate hqpor code com
mittee and is actually one provis-!
ion of the proposed honor code for
Oregon. Plans for the file were ap
proved by the board of deans. Fil
ing of tests is done by faculty
members.
No check out system will be
employed on the test files, Honor

iStudent Views on Farris Case Given
wpuuuu ui uregon students on
I he case involving the ctudent
ourt and Law Student J. Kelly
'arris appeared to be sharply di
ided in a sample poll taken by the
hncrald Thursday afternoon. Em
erald reporters interviewed some
40 students in the Student Union,
the Co-op and the Library.
i The students were asked if they
i»ad read accounts of the case
which have recently appeared in
the Emerald. If they had, they
u were asked for their opinion on
|the case.
Results were:
1) Five students think Farris is
wrong.
2) 12 think he is right.
3) 15 think the case is either
'•disgusting” or “silly.”
4) Nine students had no opin
ion.
The opinions were as follows:
Chuck Austin, freshman in lib
eral arts: "I think Farris is mak
ing a mountain out of a mole hill.’’
Mary Bennette, senior in educa
tion: "If the case is whether the
student court should remain func
tioning, I think they should.”
Marcus Gih, graduafe in educa
tion: “I read about the case once
J»ecause I was a violator. No com
jnent.”
Bonnie LeBaron, freshman in
liberal arts: “Haven’t paid any at
tention to it.”
Colleen Luebke, junior in art
Education: “I read the Thursday
Recount. I’m quite amused. Seems
like he (Farris) is making some
tning out of practically nothing.1
Bob Morris, senior in business:
"I'm all for him (Farris). I hope
he’ll take it to the attorney gen
eral."
Wes Hoop, sophomore in libera!
arts: "I’ve read all the articles
about Farris. I think the entire
case is stupid. Fanis should be
kicked out of school if he doesn't
want to abide by the school regu
lations.”
Elmo Schlewe, senior in busi
ness: "I’ve read one article. Nc
opinion'—don't know enough about
it.”
Doris Spaulding, sophomore ir
education: "I haven't followed it
too carefully.”
Helen Talbot, graduate in psy
chology: “Read the latest article
but didn’t understand it, since ]
didn’t follow it previously. Con
fused.”
Judy Johnson, sophomore in lib
eral arts: "In light of general ten
dencies of students not to take
anything seriously, I can’t see
why anyone should get upset ovei
this particular episode.”
Mabel Eskew, freshman in liber
al arts: “I started reading about
it today, but didn’t have time t?
finish it. I think it's fascinating tc
find that students on this campus
are that much interested in it.”
Jack Fronk, freshman in archi
tecture: “I think Mr. Farris is
going overboard. The court is ba
sically for the good of the stu
dents, and Mr. Farris as a repre
sentative of the students, is doing
more harm than good.”
Marian Winters, sophomore in
foreign languages: “I didn’t start
reading about it until a couple of
days ago. It doesn’t sound as if
he (Mr. Harris) has much of a
case. He must be trying to make
trouble.”
Stacy Hertsche, senior in educa
tion, thinks Dean HoUis had the
right idea when he said that it
was a game and a good game. *
Jim Dudley, graduate in psycho
logy: "I’m all for Farris.”
Patrick Henry, sophomore in
speech: "I think Farris should go
lose himself in a law volume.”
Ken Cunningham, sophomore in
history: "I hope Farris is success
ful. I want the traffic court, but
on sound legal grounds.”
Donna Maulding, junior i n
speech: "I think it’s all kind of
juvenile.”
Doug Henderson, freshman in
architecture: "I think it’s a good
deal, but he (Farris) is kind of
making a fool out of himself.”
Scott Lehner, sophomore in
speech: ’’I’d love to see Farris win
the case.”
Don Seymour, senior in political
science: "I hope he wins and they
have to refund all the money
they’ve taken.”
Martha Hainlinc, senior in busi
ness: “I do, too.”
Clarence Johannson, graduate in
sociology: “Law students in gener
al are picayunish, clandestine
headline hunters, totally unaware
of the latitudinal tortional stresses
created by class diathesis.”
Jim Jones, junior in speech: “I
read about it a couple of times,
I'd like to get my money back.”
Norman Weekly, senior in law:
"Mr. Farris has a very good point
from a legal point of view. As far
as the student court’s function is
concerned, it performs a necessary
activity. If it proves illegal, the
same function should be provided
by another body. The extortion
point should be considered by the
attorney general. Farris is not
pursuing the action for publicity,
nor to satisfy a legal nicety. He
feels a moral wrong has been com
mitted.
Vernon R. Veron, sophomore in
pre-law: "I have no opinion othei
than that Farris is raising cane
over nothing. The whole mattei
is useless if he can’t support his
claims, however I am interested in
the outcome.”
Janet Flatland, sophomore in
liberal arts: “This case is one way
of getting publicity.”
George Shaw, junior in econom
ics: “Obviously he is wrong in
speeding; however, if his claims oi
illegal action are right, he is justi
fied in this sense.”
Ruth Dodson, senior in business
“This is certainly a lot of fuss
over a matter of relative unim
portance.”
Jack Streeter, sophomore in ed
ucation: “I haven’t followed the
case closely; however, if he was
speeding, he might as well pay the
fine.”
David Cole, graduate in anthro
pology: “I am interested in seeing
how it will come out. He seems
pretty set in his convictions. and
if he is within the constitutional
rights he has a right. If he is not,
he is causing a big fuss.”
Mark Patterson, senior in his
tory: "It is much ado about noth
ing as far as I am concerned.”
Margaret Hoehn, freshman in
pre-nursing: "I think he has a '*
point and that he should go ahead
and make something of it.”
Jackie Ferris, freshman in psy
chology: “No, I have no opinion
concerning the case; each seems to
have something to their side.
Phil Hocking, junior in business:'
“I can’t exactly see what he i»
trying to' prove. If he proves the
court is illegal the only other al
ternative would be to have the Eu
gene police take over the duties
of the court.”'
Ron Morgan, junior in speech:
"He is using a sound legal back
ground but perhaps his reasons
are not justified.”
Dick Morse, senior in business:
“I think the whole matter is fun
ny, however the publicity is good
for the students.”
Dave Nciland, freshman in phyp,,
ics: "Have they ever proved hei r
is right ? If he is — he must have>
a point.”
Phil Ringle, fifth year law stu
dent: “The court serves an admin
istrative function. Students would
rather go before a student group
than a faculty body performing
the same function. The court is
only a means to vindicate our own
problems instead of having the
faculty take a hand.
