Screening Committee
Gets ASUO Approval
The ASUO senate Thursday
night passed a resolution estab
lishing a screening committee for
applicants for senate vacancies
and major campus committee
chairmanships.
The resolution was passed by a
16-4 vote after a lengthy debate.
Bob Summers and Dick Bruce
were the authors of the resolu
tion, which will not be binding on
future senates.
The resolution provides that
the screening committee will meet
when there are five or more ap
plicants for a vacancy. The com
King Finalists Named;
Voting Set Next Week
Dick Bruce, Ron Griffiths, Bruce
Purvine, Wes Ball, Bob Berry and
Milan Foster are the six finalists
for the title of "King of Hearts”
They were selected Thursday noon
at an interview session by mem
bers of the YWCA sophomore cab
inet.
Voting for the "King” will begin
Wednesday, when tickets for the
dance will go on sale at the Stu
dent Union and the Co-op. Women
will vote when they purchase the
tickets.
Houses sponsoring the six final
ists are, Griffiths, Sigma Chi and
Chi Omega; Bruce, French hall,
Purvine, Beta Theta Pi; Ball,
Gamma Phi Beta and Phi Kappa
Psi; Berry, Carson Four and Del
ta Tau Delta, and Foster, Delta
Upsilon.
Crowning of the "King” will be
held at the Chi Omega house, and
a traditional tubbing will follow.
Last year’s King of Hearts was
A1 Babb, Theta Chi.
The interviews yesterday were
conducted along the lines of a
mock "investigation,” with mem
bers of the cabinet, led by their
chairman, Gail West, asking the
men what they thought of "girl
ask-boy” dances such as the
Heart Hop.
Dancing for the night of the
Heart Hop, Feb. 13, will be held at
Pi Beta Phi, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kap
pa Alpha Theta and Chi Omega.
General co-chairmen are Sharon
Isaminger and Anne Hill.
•
mittee will screen the applicants
to no less than two and not more
than three candidates for a posi
tion.
Legality Questioned
The committee will be composed
of two members of each party and
the ASUO president. An amend
ment to the resolution also pro
vided that names of those elimin
ated by the committee be given
the senate with the reasons for
elimination.
Ben Schmidt, one of the oppo
sition leaders, called for a vote
by roll call, and finally questioned
the constitutionality of the meas
ure. The new resolution will be
referred to the ASUO constitution
committee for a test of its legality.
Norm Webb, senior in political
science, was selected by the sen
ate to fill the senator-at-large
vacancy created when Bob Funk
was named ASUO vice-president.
Other applicants for the post were
John Vazbys, Harry Asch, Bob
McCracken, Janet Ferris, Jeanne
Scales and Don Bonime.
Investigation Oredered
Hollis Ransom moved that the
senate go on record as disapprov
ing the “third degree" tactics of
verifying identification at basket
ball games. A committee was ap
pointed to study the problem.
Donald DuShane, director of
student affairs, told the senate the
investigation was ordered by the
department of internal revenue,'
and that the University athletic
department had nothing to do with
it.

Frosh 'Living'
Rule Changed
JuZ-7Jr?hman ^ W,b° 3re affiliated with fraternities
n Y u-m°Ve ,nt° tflCIr Comity at the beginning of
spring term this year. * 8 1
nisht by Ray H-k>
Hawk called the change a "temporary relaxing” of the Uni
vcrMty regulation which prohibits freshmen from living in a
;reek letter organization. No plans have been made to continue
the policy next year, he said. l
-Kirmnmiratmn Suggests
The move was taken to case the
manpower shortage of the smaller
fraternities, Hawk stated.
Fraternities now require all Eu
gene affiliates to live at least one
term during their sophomore year.
The change would make it possi
ble for Eugene fraternity affili
ates to meet this requirement their
freshman year.
The change was the outgrowth
of a meeting of University offi
cials including: Victor P. Morris,
acting president; Donald DuShanc,
director of student affairs; Les
Anderson, alumni secretary; J. O.
Lindstrom, business manager, and
Hawk.
2 Point Needed
Eugene freshman men will be
allowed to move into a fraternity
spring term only if they are al
ready affiliated, Hawk said. The
move may be made whether the
freshman lives at home or in a
dormitory.
Eligibility for the move must
be cleared with the office of stu
dent affairs, Hawk stressed. The
University will require a minimum
2.00 GPA of any freshman man
who desires to move into his fra
ternity spring term.
The living in spring term will ]
be optional for the Eugene fresh
men, he added.
Rushing Altered
Although this is the first ex
ception made to the deferred liv
ing program this year, Hawk
pointed out that other exceptions
are made from time to time. The
University has permanently am
mended its deferred living policy
to allow freshman who are vet
erans to move into a fraternity
their first year.
Other business at the IFC meet
ing Thursday evening, included a
change in open rushing policy and
a constitutional revision.
All students with a cumulative
GPA of 2.00 or above will be eli
gible for open rushing. Rushees
have been required in the past to
have a 2.00 GPA the previous
term in addition to the cumulative
2.00 GPA.
The constitutional revision pro
vides that the IFC president will
take over the leadership of the
IFC tribunal, judicial body of the
organization, in the absence of
the regular presiding officer, the
IFC vice-president.

No Arrests Made Yet
In Exhibitionist Case
fto arrests have been made in
connection with current reports of
exhibitionists about the campus,
according to the Eugene police de
partment.
Whether these incidents can be
attributed to one person or more
than one is unknown. The offend
er or offenders, has been describ
ed as anywhere from 20 to 30
years of age by various persons,
the department reports.
A member of Alpha Delta Pi re
ported seeing an indecently-expos
ed man at the basement window
of the house. She said he was
wearing a gray top coat and ap
peared to be about 30 years of age.
She also said he might have been
wearing glasses. He escaped before
the police arrived.
The basement window faces a
dark alley between Alpha Delta
Pi and Alpha Gamma Delta. At
the latter house a student has been
bothered by obscene phone calls
from a man judged to be about'
24 years old. This man has called
four times since the beginning e#
the term, and has given sever;#?
false names, she said. According
to the student, the man's voice -
very pleasant sounding at first,
but later becomes soft and seduce
tive. The calls have not been'
ported to the police.
Another case was reported ter
the police by Carson hall. Sever at
women on the third floor feft*
another partly nude man at
about 1:30 a. m. the last night
of fall term finals. The man wn»
across the street, near a tree, arui
could be seen from the Carson
windows. He was described as
blond, of medium build, and about
20 years of age. At the time h*
was wearing only an Oregon jac
ket. The police were summoned
but didn’t arrive in time to catch
him.
