) Oregon's total individual de

was 24-6. bringing the year’s to
tal to 76-22, or a 78 per cent win
record. The Linfield tournament
was the last major one of the
season for Oregon. Several local
tournaments are coming up
spring term.
location would be about two
blocks away.
The dormitory would be built
on the south end of the grave
yard area, according to Wilson's
plan. This would mean moving
about half of the graves to the
north end.
The new dormitory would be
located in what Wilson refers to
as the "girls' campus,” Hear Ger
linger, Susan Campbell and
Hendricks halls.
If Wilson's plan is successfully
negotiated Carson hall will be
used for men. The new women's
dormitory would hold 1600 as
compared with the 330 capacity
of Carson.
Another possibility for the
cemetery area, if cleared, accord
ing to the present proposal,
would be inclusion of a building
for married students, which will
be needed in several years, ac
cording to Wilson.
There are a total of 4000
graves in the graveyard now.
Natural lighting and landscap
ing could be used in the proposed
concentrated grave area.
A letter from the Pioneer
Cemetery association indicated
that the group may agree to a
sale If the graves are properly
treated anf! maintained.
Wilson will continue talks with
owners of the graveyard, ac
cording to instructions given him
by the state board.
In other business the board
named J. F. Cramer, former dean
of the state system of higher
education's general extension di
vision, as president of Portland
State college.
Cramer will be replaced by
Philip G. Hoffman, who was ap
pointed by the board. He was
formerly vice-dean of the general
extension division. His duties will
include evening classes, corres
pondence studies, visual instruc
tion and other services.
Pi Kap House
Will Not Close
Ti Kappa Phi reversed an earlier decision to close its house and
decided to remain open at a Monday night house meeting.
The Pi Haps, who earlier claimed that a lack of sufficient mem
bership would cause the closing, changed their plans after receiv
ing a telegram from the organization's national headquarters in
Sumpter, S.C. The communication guaranteed the fraternity fi
nancial aid although it didn't specify a definite amount. The na
tional headquarters heard about the plan to close through its dis
trict representative in Salem.
OSC Will Aid House
Besides the financial assistance from the national chapter, the
local group also has been promised membership aid from the Pi
Kap organization at Oregon State. Harmon Timeus, house manager
of the Pi Kappa Phi house at OSC, said that "at least three of that
group’s members are planning to transfer to Oregon this spring to
increase membership in the Oregon chapter.’’
Gene Murphy, president of the University organization, expressed
hope that the house could increase its membership through a "more
vigorous rushing program spring term.”
Murphy said that eleven of the twelve men living at the house
| now will definitely return spring term. Most of them have already
cancelled previous reservations for apartments. One student, who
is at present boarding at the house but is not a member, has not
decided for sure whether he will come back. Another member, not
"living in,” will make the house have either 13 or 16 affiliations
for spring term.
House Needs Men
"We need at least 16 members living at the house to make a
profit,” Murphy said. ‘Rushing is the only way that we will be
able to get the additional men needed to attain that total.”
The Pi Kaps made the announcement that they planned to close
only a little more than a week ago. A "lack of pledging initiative”
was given as the main reason for the closing at that time.
Don Rotenberg Elected
Class of '55 President
Don Rotenberg was elected per
manent president of the Class of
1955 at the annual senior class
meeting Tuesday. Jim Light was
the only other nominee for the
office.
Mary Wilson defeated Kay
Partch for the office of perma
nent class secretary.
Also elected at the meeting
was a board of ten seniors who
will coordinate any future class
activities. Included on the board
are Jerry Beall, Andy Berwick,
Alex Byler, Len Calvert, Gary
Jonec, Sam Kent, Donna Schafer,
Marcia Tamiesie, Joanne Ware
and Pete Williams.
In other business brought up
at the meeting, Les Anderson,
alumni secretary, explained the
organization and activities of the
University's alumni association.
He told the class that after May
16, they can fill out permanent
alumni records, receive gradua
tion instruction and pick up
Commencement tickets in the
alumni office in the Student
Union.
Plans for Spring Term
Registration Announced
registration material will be
available Sunday night, March
27, in order to give students an
opportunity to speed up spring
term registration.
The Student Union will be open
at C p.m. and registration ma
terial will be distributed on the
second floor from 6 to 8 p.m.
In another move to cut down
long lines during registration, the
student affairs checking staff
will be increased.
After students have enrolled in
courses through the proper de
partment and school offices they
will enter the ballroom through
the Dad’s lounge to check with
student affairs clerks.
All registration forms must be
filled out correctly or the student
will be asked to step out of line.
Checkers will go through the
lines to make sure all cards are
properly marked.
A major reason for slow rcgis
t>ation and long lines is that stu
dents do not fill . out regis
tration cards correctly, according
to Spencer Carlson, director of
admissions. The six steps of reg
istration are listed on the front
page of the time schedule.
A complete outline of registra
tion procedures follows:
1. Prepare spring term sched
ule and record it on back of time
schedule with adviser's signature
before March 18.
2. March 27 or 28: Pick up reg
istration cards in SU.
Fill out the information asked
for on these cards completely.
Be sure that all information on i
both sides of the card is filled ]
out. Check with the time sched
ule for correct department let
ters, and watch out for confusion
between such courses as physics
and philosophy, science and sec
retarial science, geology and
geography.
Failure to fill out these cards
properly may result in a student
not getting a grade in some
course because the department
had no record of the student’s
enrollment in the class or the
registrar had no record, there
fore th<^ grade card would not be
sent to the instructor for final
grade.
If at any time a student makes
a course change, or changes sec
tions, he should make sure the
department has made the proper
change and the information on
all registration cards is proper
ly changed.
3. Register with individual de
partments.
4. Enter the SU ballroom
through the Dad’s lounge for stu
dent affairs stamp on remainder
of material.
5. Pay fees in the business of
fice of Emerald hall.
Commencement this year will
again be held on Hayward Field
| on June 12.
Class President Rotenberg also
reminded the class that begin
ning the second week of spring
I term, caps and gowns and grad
uation announcements can be
ordered through the Co-op.
