Shooting Wounds
Found Not Serious
Although doctors are required
to report treatment of all gun
shot wounds, Dr. R. N. Miller,
director of the University health
service, said the wounds incurred
in the accidental shooting at
Gamma hall Friday night were
not serious enough to merit re

shotgun of Peter Lungreen,

Dr. Miller stated that he did
not report the accident to the

Oregon, OSC Reaffirm
Joint Hands-off Policy
A joint hands-off policy re
garding acts of vandalism and
other destruction of property be
tween the University of Oregon
and Oregon State college was re
newed by student leaders of both
schools at a Thursday meeting in
Corvallis.
Following is the text of the
original agreement as set down
by Dan Poling, OSC dean of men,
and Ray Hawk. Associate direc
tor of student affairs:
"We approve of school spirit.
We believe that it adds not only
to the interest in. but also the
values to be derived from Ore
gon-Oregon State athletic com
petition. But we believe that it
is best expressed on the playing
field and in the cheering sections,
and by justifiable pride in our
institutions, and not by destruc
tion and vandalism. Therefore,
we urge our students not to par
ticipate in raids or other activi
ties likely to result in property
damage or personal injury, and
as a further deterrent, we agree
that:
“1. Our students, individually
and collectively, shall be liable
for the costs of repairing damage
at the other institution.
"2. We will suspend any of
our students apprehended in such
pre-game activities.”
Emerald Starts
New Coverage
Homecoming pictures shown
on page two mark the open
ing of a new era in Kmerald
picture coverage. A recently
installed Fairchild Scan-A
Graver (engraving machine
that transfers a picture print
direct to a plastic plate) at
the Springfield News is now
accessible to the Kmerald. Its
immediate service and inex
pensive method mean more
and timelier pictures for the
Emerald.
The new eight-man Emer
ald photo staff, working as a
team for the first time, was
able to get full Homecoming
coverage. #

Ban Still Stands
WASHINGTON-(A P)—A de
cision that the state university
of New York couki ban national
fraternities and sororities from
the campuses of 22 of Its units
has weathered successfully a
challenge before the Supreme
Court.
The high tribunal refused to
review, thus letting stand the
ruling handed down by a special
three-judge federal court in New
York. It was appealed to the high
tribunal by Sigma Tau Gamma,
Delta Kappa, Inc., and others.
The Supreme Court dismissed
the appeal, saying no substan
tial federal question was in
volved.
Trustees of the university in
October 1953 approved a reso
lution requiring student social
organizations to sever their con
nections w’ith national groups
and to eliminate "artificial cri
teria’’ in the selection of mem
bers.
Oregon's Graduate Organization
Provides Informational Service
By LaRae Koon
Emerald Feature Writer
After commencement exercises,
it's easy for college graduates
to lose contact with their alma
mater and its activities. How
ever, Oregon graduates have an
organization which helps keep
them informed about the Uni
versity and through which they
can participate in its activities.
They can become members of
the University of Oregon Alumni
association.
“The Alumni association exists
primarily to help the University
in the things it can’t do for it
self,” Anderson pointed out. The
association's activities include
awarding from 10 to 20 scholar
ships of $165 and up annually to
incoming freshmen. This scholar
ship fund is financed through con
tributions to local alumni associa
tions.
Throughout the year, various
alumni tours are sponsored with
groups of Oregon professors
speaking before alumni organiza
tions in the state. An alumni in
stitute is held which facilitates a
detailed exchange of information.
A football film circuit, por
traying Oregon’s football high
lights, is circulated to the alumni
groups both 1h and out of the
state. The bi-monthly publication
for alums, Old Oregon, started in
1919, was recently given an
award for being one of the finest
Northwest magazines.
The Alumni leaders conference
in the winter is held to indoctri
nate the various group leaders on
the University’s programs and
plans.
Class reunions, held at com
mencement time, are planned by
the association. These reunions
usually begin with the 20 or 25th
class and go back to the half
century club, Anderson said.
Since its beginning in 1880
with 12 paid members, the
Alumni association has expanded
to its present active membership
of 5000. The organization in
cludes 21 out-of-state Alumni
clubs. These are in such places
as New York, Manila, Honolulu
Denver and Boise. In the Sari
Francisco club there are 2000
alums.
Within the state each of the
36 counties has an Alumni presi
dent who directs activities for his
local group. Headquarters for the
entire Alumni association is the
Alumni office on the Student
Union mezzanine. Here, in Ander
son's office, are the past and
present records of 24,000 alums.
Graduates can join the Alumni
association by paying $4 yearly
dues or by paying $66 which en
titles them to life membership.
The organization’s president is
Ray E. Vester, Portland. The
executive committee is composed
of 13 members who act as the
governing body.
Oregon can claim many well
known graduates including Wil
liam Murphy, Nobel prize win
ner; E. Palmer Hoyt, Denver Post
publisher, and Len Jordan, Idaho
governor. Athletes such as Joe
Gordon of baseball fame; Norm
Van Brocklin, football star; and
politicians, Richard Neuberger,
senator, and Paul Patterson, gov
ernor, are alums.
Past association presidents
have included the late Ernest
Haycox, author, and Harris Ells
worth and Homer Angell, con
gressmen.
P Keefe, senior in business?
Richard Yates, graduate student
in English; Lloyd Powell, senior
in business, and William Schup
pel, senior in architecture, were
appointed cadet majors.
Blaine, Boettcher and Keefe
were appointed regimental per
sonnel officer and adjutant, regi
mental intelligence officer, and
regimental logistics and public
information officer, respectively.
Yates, Powell and Schuppel were
named first, second and third
battalion executive officers and
operations officers, respectively.
Captains Appointed
Appointed cadet captains were
Herbert West, Glenn Overstreet,
Donald Holt, Jack Patera, Gary
McAdams, Franklin Haar, Don
Crawford, James Light and
James Roberts.
Also appointed cadet captains

liam Loch and Ward Cook.
Robert Segge, Walter Lovell,
Jim Jones, Sam Skillern, John

Raleigh Meyer were named ca
det first lieutenants.
Also appointed cadet first
lieutenants were Randolph Mid
dleton, Ronald Blind, Jerry Beall,
Harold Swarthout, George Grosz,
Larry Brecht, James Baker and
Herbert Hemington,
Lieutenants Selected
Appointed to the rank of sec
ond lieutenant were Patrick

ficers during fall term, summer
camp performance, ratings by
other cadets, military and all
school grades and other campus
activities.
