RAY HAWK
Explains “thorny problem”
Candidates Will Speak
At Election Assembly
The ASUO senate voted Thurs
day night to hold an election as
sembly after the campus primary
election to give the candidates for
ASUO president and the class
presidencies a chance to speak be
fore the student body.
The senate rejected a proposal
to allow candidates for primary
elections to appear at an assembly
on the grounds that the number
of candidates would be too large to
allow adequate time for each.
The senate also approved the
party preference system for plac
ing names on the ballot for the
general election. The same sys
tem was used last year.
Volunteers were requested by
ASUO Vice-President Bob Funk
to visit campus living organiza
tions and explain the preferential
voting system. The visits will be
made some time before the pri
mary election, he said.
AND NO ONE/S PARBOILED . . .
Problem: Expanding Universe
Answer: Self-Creatinq Matter
Matter may be replacing itself
every ten thousand years, stated
Herman Bondi Thursday night in
a lecture on "Cosmology."
“Cosmology,” Bondi defined, “is'
the science of the universe as a ;
whole."
The basis for this science is a,
paper by a nineteenth century Ger- i
man scientist who was concerned 1
with the question of why the dis
tant stars don’t light up the sky
at night. Cosmology attempts to
answer this question.
There are two schools of cos
mology, the relativistic and the
steady-state theories. Bondi be
longs to the steady-state school.
The steady-staters feel that with
the number of stars in the sky, we
would all be parboiled unless these
stars are constantly moving away
from us. They account for the fact
that we are not all boiled to death
by assuming that the universe is
constantly expanding so that the
stars are always moving away.
This would mean, however, that
the universe is getting thinner as
it expands. Bondi leaps this hurdle
by explaining that matter is be
ing constantly created to. fill up
the gas. ‘•Hydrogen,’' according to
Bonpdi, "is being created inside
stars and is converted into heavier
elements by intense heat. Our pres
ent law of conservation of matter,
Bondi declares, will have -to be
proven ten billion times more ac
curate before eosmologists will ac
cept it.
Bondi is a former fellow and lec
turer of Trinity college at Cam
bridge university and university
lecturer at Harvard observatory.
He will return to England this
month to assume the chair of ap
plied mathematics at King’s col
lege, University of London.
An amendment to the graduate i
student election amendment will,
be placed on the ballot for the '■
general election. The amendment'
calls for an election for graduate1
senate representative to be held
at the same time as the freshman!
election in fall term.
The previously controversial
question was passed with little de
bate.
During a discussion of the Uni
versity exchange assembly, Don
ald DuShane. director of student!
affairs, told the senate that the j
shows are not going to be ac
cepted by the majority of the high !
schools until something is done to'
make the shows acceptable to high
school officials. He added that
screening machinery is needed
< ven for some shows which are
presented on the campus.
The assembly, “Show Business—
U of O," was banned from Port
land high schools following several:
presentations in the Portland area'
at the end of winter term. Port- ^
land high school officials called!
the show “too sophisticated" for'
high school audiences.
Donna Lory, sophomore in busi
ness administration, was selected
as Mother’s Day chairman.
The senate voted to have ASUO
president Tom Wrightson’s paid
secretary serve as senate secre
tary in addition. Currently the
senate secretary is selected from
the senate.
The budget for winter term was
submitted by Wrightson and ac
cepted by the senate.
Bob Funk reported that 3,000
green and yellow tags lettered,
"I have voted have you?’’ have
been qrdered to be given students
when they vote in the general
ASUO elections Moy 5.
The senate approved recom
mendations for athletic awards to
members of freshman and varsity
wrestling and swimming teams.
Tuesday, May 18, was set as the
date for the annual ASUO banquet.
policy rests completely with
tlic individual living- organiza
tion, said Hawk. All fraterni
ties, sororities and coops may
participate.
Groceries m a y now bo
bought on straight wholesale
ates from the newly announced
h ouse managers cooperative
association plan. For final ar
langements in purchasing, inter
Jstert houses should contact
Hawk s office. The plan was set
up by the University, after year;*
af refusal by the company to pro
vide the service to houses,
flan Now Limited
Presently the wholesale buying
plan includes only canned food?*
md other dry goods such as soaps*
and napkins. However, Rawk said
that the administration is work
ing on plans to include fresh pro
duce, meats, bakery goods and per -
haps fuel oils in the cooperative
plan.
The administration will take
over the job of collecting house
bills when requested as a second
*lep in its program to ease the fi
nancial strain on University living
groups The system of collection*
w,n h® the same as is used in the
dorms. If the bill is not raid i&
the house by the 10th of the month,
the house manager will turn the,
nil over to the University. If the
bi!1 ls then not paid by the 20th cr
the month, the delinquent stu
dent will be dropped from regis
tration. The student still could be
reinstated by paying after tbo
Headline, although he would have
to pay a fine.
To further help the groups, the
University will do accounting f, «
living groups on a cost basis.
Only to Interested Houses
Hawk emphasized that there
proposals to help fraternities
sororities and coops are bein
offend only to those groups who
are interested. There will be rc
compulsion on the part of the
administration to require any
gjoup to use these facilities if it
does not wish them.
To reduce expenses Hawk voiced
a suggesion from President Wil
son that perhaps house manager
and cooks could take part m
some cost-cutting schooling. Thus
schooling would be in the form
of seminars given by University
experts at the beginning of the
school year. Information would bo
given on the most inexpensive
size of cans, the best brands, and
various special services offered by
different food distributors. Per
haps a manual on buying tech
niques could be distributed to each
house.
The current rumor that fresh
men might be able to move into,
some of the weaker fraternities
this spring was commented upci\
by Hawk.
In explaining this "thorny Prob
lem, ’ Hawk said that in the first
p'ace, the houses really needing
the help didn’t have enough fresh
men to help much anyway.
Damage Hushing?
Second, there is the problem of
where to draw the line. Som»
houses, explained Hawk, break
even with 15 men, while other*
ean't make it with 30 men. Finally,
