Y Cabinet Holds
Retreat at Jasper
Jasper was the scene of a plan
ning retreat of the University
YWCA cabinet Tuesday. The re
treat was held to go over details
of fall term plans made at the end
of spring term.
Director Eileen Lindblad said
that special discussion was held
on the freshman program, mem-;
bership, interest areas and campus j
plans for the YWCA centennial.
Oregana Safes
Number 1200
As of early Thursday afternoon
approximately 1200 Oreganas
had been sold at the sales table
In the Student Union. Sales Man
ager Mary Hyde reported that
sales had been going fairly well
among upper-classmen, but that
the new student sales had been
disappointing.
The poor percentage of fresh
men subscribers was attributed
by Oregana workers primarily to
the fact that many of the new
students are unaware that they
can pay for their Oregana in ad
vance along with their other tui
tion fees.
Sales to date this year are re
ported about the same as in years
past and if present estimates are
correct the sales total will reach
2,000 by the end of the week. The
sales department of the Oregana
has set a tentative goal of be
tween 2,200 and 2,400 for total
sales for the year.

an<i one dollar per week for »pe- ;
eiai students taking six hours or I
less.
An estimated 4200 students
filled registration lines through- i
out the week. Karly estimates j
place the size of the freshman
class at 1300, a substantial in
crease from the 1953 figure.
Registration officials stressed
the fact that partial completion
of registration does not entitle
students to University privileges.

letic ticket, free concert admis-;
sions, and library and academic I

as head of the language and
literature group.

Saturday night.

Prince Lightfoot is not a student,
but an independent performer.
He will wear a white-beaded
buckskin outfit and a long feath
ered headdress at the game, ac
cording to Williams.
