Supreme Court Ruling May Delav Builrlinn The Wednesday decision of the supreme court that the University of Oregon dental school is under the supervision and control of the State Board of Higher Education rather than under the University of Oregon may hold up construc tion of the new dental school building In Portland. The new dental school was plan ned to be built in conjunction with the University of Oregon medical school teaching hospital.

Leguilty Questioned The Wednesday decision which severed the nine-year old tie be tween the University and the den tal school raised the question of the legality of building the school outside Marion county. The University of Oregon medi cal school, also in Portland, was already in existence in 1907. The old Northwestern dental school in Portland was taken over by the state in a law passed in 1945. It was placed under the University of Oregon, so that its location outside Marion county could not be questioned. Seeking a declaratory judg ment for interpretation of the 1945; law, the State Dental association I recently filed suit against the State Board of Higher Education. At the time of filing. Dr. H. J. Noyes, dean of the dental school, said he was not in favor of the suit because it might delay the new building, which he hoped i Please turn to page eight) Dien Bien Phu Falls To Communist Rebels i By A»»oc>aIcien Bien Phil has fallen.

Policy Set for Excusing Men From Armed Forces Parade A definite policy concerning the excusing of ROTC men from marching in the Armed Forces Day parade, has been agreed upon, by Colonel E. B. Daily, head of the military science department, and Jim Light, general chairman of Junior Weekend. The Armed Forces parade will be held in con junction with the Junior Weekend float parade May 8. Light stated that there is no truth in the rumor that 50 per cent of the men in each living or ganization will be excused to work on the parade floats. However, if an organization does not have enough men to work on the float, without the assistance of their ROTC men, special permission may be granted to excuse them from marching. This procedure must be follow ed in order to be excused from the Armed Forces portion of the par ade : A written application must be submitted to Colonel Daily by May 12. Only those men who are notified that they are excused will be relieved of their marching duty. Colonel Daily and Light feel that most living organizations have enough junior and senior men not in ROTC to take the floats to the starting point during the last hour before the parade begins. "Therefore, before a man is ex cused from marching, he will have to prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the necessity of his being elsewhere at the time he would otherwise be marching,” Light said.
