OSC GETS 'EM BUT ...
No Housemother
For Oreqon Men
Or* gon's fraternities will not
have housemothers In the near fu
ture, Director of Mena Affairs
Hay Hawk told the Emerald Sat
urday.
Hawk was contacted following
the announcement Thursday by
Oregon State College Dean of Men \
Dan W. Poling that all OSC fra
ternities must make provision for
a full-time resident housemother
by September, 1955.
"We have no such thought at I
the present time,” Hawk said, j
Daily Found Guilty
In Extortion Case
John Daily, 23-year-old senior
in mathematics, was found guilty
early Saturday morning on a
charge of threatening extortion.
The verdict was returned Ht 1:37
a. m. after 10 hours of delibera
tion.
Circuit Judge William G. East
announced that he would order a
pre-sentence investigation before
passing sentence. Daily faces a
maximum tWo-year penitentiary
sentence, or he could be given
probation after the pre-sentence
investigation.
The trial continued for. five days
before a verdict was reached by
the jury of eight men and four
women.
Daily was convicted of threaten
ing to extort money from a Eu
gene housewife through a series
of telephone calls in December and
early January.
"For the obvious reason that Ore-;
gon’s fraternities are in a finan
ctal plight." He sab! that few of
tho fraternity houses are physical
ly equipped for a housemother and
that the additional facilities would
be an extra financial burden.
Cases of misconduct, drop in
fraternity scholarship, negligence
of social training, increase in1
"night riding," and indulgence in
some phases of "Heil Week" by
some fraternities have contributed
to the need for the housemother
plan at OSC, Poling said.
One of CISC's 30 fraternities i
currently has a house mother. The
fraternity system is now' in its
iOth year at Oregon State. The;
first chapter was established in,
1900.
Poling's announcement w a s
made at a gathering of fraternity
chapter presidents, and members,
of the Alumni Inter-fraternity
Council of OSC.
