Men's New Dormitory
To Prove Living' Plan
By DICK LEWIS
F.meruld Feature F.dltor
The "Oregon plan” of deferred
living will have the chance to
practice what it preaches with
the opening of the new Straub
addition in the fall of 1955.
The new dorm is especially de
signed to fit freshman living, ac
cording to Si Ellingson, men's
counselor. Separate dining rooms,
lounges and rumpus rooms for
each of the five separate halls will
give the freshmen a feeling of
group unity, he explained.
Each of the five halls will be
designed to accommodate 66 men.
In addition Eugene freshmen will j
pick or be assigned to a hall and
will probably eat at least one meal
a week there, Ellingson said.
Stresses Dining Booms
"Individual dining rooms will be
the heart of the freshman pro
gram,” stressed Ellingson. The
freshmen will hear orientation
speeches and have opportunities to
ask questions and get really
“squared" away at the beginning
of the school year, he said. Such
activities as singing songs, learn
ing traditions and even improving
manners will be emphasized.
' “We just don't have the facil
ities now," Ellingson admitted, ex
plaining the limitations of the
present program. The Straub din
ing room, designed to feed 300
men, now feeds about 500. Also
there are not enough lounges to
go around in the Vet’s dorms, ac
cording to Ellingson. As a result,
the freshmen never really get a
feeling of belonging, he added.
The freshmen will have a house
mother in their new dorm — a
new idea for men's dorms at Ore
gon. This year, for the first time,
there is a housemother at Susan
Campbell hall. The administration
is quite well satisfied with the re
sults and expects even better re
sults in the new dorm.

will be at the entrance of the new
dorm. She will eat with the fresh
men in their group dining rooms,
act as cnapcron and generally in
struct the new men on social
graces.
The counseling system is, of
course, one of the basic found*- j
Hons of freshman orientation. To I
be a counselor one must be a
graduate student, have better than
average grades and have a defin- j
ite interest in personnel work. El
lingson said.
"To assure adjustment of fresh
men to the University and to
maintain conditions conductive to
academic studies,” were named by
Eilingson as the principal duties
of the counselors. He added that
while the administration hands
down a set of general rules, the
individual counselor can run his
hall according to his own best
judgment.
Incorporation of Eugene fresh
men into the new dorm system
will be a valuable addition to the
program, Eilingson emphasized
Last fall Eugene freshmen were
each assigned to one of the Vet's
dorms. But because <>f the lack of
facilities and the distance from
campus to the halls, only a handful
of Eugene men still take part in
dorm activities.
Planning for Townies
With the lounge and rumpus
room facilities of the new dorm
and its nearness to the campus
center, Eilingson believes that Eu
gene men will take full use of th*
facilities and thus become bettei
integrated into the "Oregon plan."
Ford Aid Offered
To Gifted Students
"Is there a right age for col
lege?” "What can be done for the
bright student who's unchallenged
in high school?"
These questions are answered by
a study of the Ford Foundation
scholars who skip the last year or
two of high school to enter college
The unusually intelligent 14 to 17
year olds receive scholarships
from the Ford Foundation’s fund
for the advancement of education.
Chief among the problems of the
early admission plan is whether
younger students will be social
misfits with their own and with
the opposite sex.
In a comprehensive study of the
program, the June issue of Made
moiselle says that the women *.ave
no trouble with social adjustment
and date college seniors, graduate
students and businessmen. The
men, however, have a harder time.
They have been classified as "re
latively Immature socially.”
The young college students have
excelled in scholarship, particular
ly in mathematics and science.
Those who took the graduate rec
; ol d examination of general edu
: cation ranked among the top one
| per cent of the nation.
Several of the colleges partici
pating in the experimental pro
gram have said that they plan to
continue the program on their
own, if and when Ford support
ends.
Some have speculated that other
colleges may make their admis
sions requirements more flexible.
: They have also made other pro
i grams for the gifted student, with
the end of improving American
educational policies and eliminat
ing wasted time.
