Request for Rifle Club
Funds Sent to Senate
A request for student funds
for a proposed University rifle
team was returned to the A8UO
senate and a aubcommittee re
port on student salaries was
adopted Saturday by the Student
Union and Educational Activi
ties Budget committee.
The budget board deferred
consideration of a request for
student funds for the proposed
rifle team pending further con
sideration by the A8UO senate
for two reasons: 1) It was the
hoard's feeling that an alloca
tion of funds from the Student
Union and Educational Activi
ties budget would constitute sup
port of a minor sport; and 2t
the board failed to discern and
consensus of student body opin
ion concerning the rifle team.
Uequest for Money
The lequest for funds was
made by Carl Groth. Jr.. UIS
candidate for junior class presi
dent and a member of the FtOTC
rifle team, and Capt. H. D. Wol

aver, representing the military
department and non-ROTC stu
; dents who had expressed a desire
| to form a rifle team open to all
| University students.
In a second action the budget
board added the Student Union
board chairman to the list of
those students who receive full
, salaries. Others are the editors
and business managers of the
Emerald and the Oregana, and
the ASUO president.
Joint Committee Action
The action was recommended
by a joint budget board-ASUO
senate subcommittee composed
of Sylvia Wingard Bemis, Bob
Funk and Pete Williams, rep
resenting the budget board, and
ASUO President Bob Summers,
Germaine LaMarche. Jim Light
and Don Rotenberg, represent
ing the senate.
The budget board adopted the
principle recommended by the
subcommittee that the student
body and the University should
not be deprived of the services
of a qualified student who might
be unable to accept an activity
position because of the necessity
of outside work.
This principle is the basis on
which student salaries will be
paid in the future.
Koom, Hoard Arc Hat Is
The manner in which salaries
are to be computed will be a
full year's room and board at
Carson hall plus 50 dollars, an
approximate average between
fraternity-sorority and dormi
tory living costs.
Under this principle, the pres
ent yearly salaries of $636 will
bo cut to approximately $624.25,
according to Bob Summers,
ASUO president and spokesman
for the budget board.
It was also agreed that all
salaries other than the afore
mentioned full salaries shall be
held to a minimum. Such sal
aries will be computed as a per
centage of the full salaries in
the cases where they are au
thorized.
Students Have Voice
The SU and Educational Ac-!
tivities budget committee;
(Budget Board) was set up last
fall in order to give students a
voice in the control of student
funds.
The committee has three vot
ing faculty members, William
Jones, dean of administration;
J. O. Lindstrom, University
business manager, and Donald
DuShane, director of student af
fairs. A. L. Ellingson, secretary
of the committee, is a non-vit
ing member.
Student members are Funk,
Mrs. Bemis, Summers and Wil
liams.
WANTED
Prom Loses Band
A broken contract which left
the Junior Prom bandless was
the cause of a flurry of hurried
action this weekend. The junior
class bar! contracted for the 10
piece band of AI Donahue for
the Junior Weekend dance.
Late last week they were no
tified that Donahue would be un
able to keep the engagement.
Meanwhile, dance co-chairmen
Patty Fagan and Jack Socolof
sky, have been working with
Sandra PHce Rennie. Student
Union program director, to ob
tain another band.
Two Portland bands have been
located and the committee fs
investigating the possibility of
getting a better-known Califor
nia band from one of two agen
cies. Definite word on the band
is expected sometime today.
The agency with which Dona
hue was contracted is the same
one which arranged for Charlie
Spivak to play for last year’s
Prom. The contract fell through
in a .similar manner and Ernie
Field's band was obtained.
The contract with Donahue
■was signed here April IS and
went to the agency to be for
warded to Donahue. A telephone
! call to Mrs. Rennie verified the
j contract, and Mrs. Rennie was
jtold that if she was not notified
by April 22, that the contract
! would be alright. When she was
I nf>t notified, it was assumed the
| contract was in effect, and pub
licity was released accordingly.
A possibility of legal action
against the agency was squelch
ed Sunday night by Bud Hink
son, junior class president.
Hinkson reported that while
such legal action had been con
sidered, it would not be carried
out.

Lehi II Now Doing Fine
SAN FRANCISCO (API—The
five men aboard the drifting raft
Lehi II who radioed earlier Sun
day night the vessel was “break
ing up" some 25 miles off the
Monterey Peninsula, coast were
reported "doing fine” as they
awaited rescue by Coast Guard
ships.
Coast Guardsmen in a four
engined P4Y plane circling
above the raft while directing
the rescue ships asked the Lehi
II crewmen at 8:38 p.m. PST,
how they were doing. ‘‘Doing
fine,’’ was the response from the
raft.
At 7:09 p.m., 2'^ hours earlier,
the Coast Guard had received a
distress call that the Lehi II was
breaking up. The Coast Guard
immediately sent the plane out
from its San Bruno Air Station
and dispatched the cutter Active
and another boat from Monterey.
The Coast Guard said the first
ship should reach the raft in
another hour.
Second Child Dies
After Polio Shot
BOISE, Ida. (AP)—The death
Sunday of a second Idaho school
girl of polio after being inocu
lated with Salk vaccine from the
Cutter laboratories of Berkeley,
Calif., was announced by L. J.
Peterson, director of the Idaho
State Health department.
The child. Janet Lee Kincaid.
7, of Moscow, Ida., died in a Spo
kane, Wash., hospital.
Susan Pierce, 7, of Pocatello,
died of polio last Wednesday.
Peterson said both girls as
well as eight other children
whose cases have been diagnosed
as polio all were inoculated from
i the same lot of Cutter vaccine.
“This means,’’ he said in dis
cussing the cases, “that the vac
cine conceivably could have been
a contributing cause. We will not
know for sure until exhaustive
tests are completed."
Peterson said the Kincaid
child was inoculated April 19,
came under observation on the
27th and the case pronounced
polio on the 29th.
The two fatalities and the
eight other cases developed
among 33.000 first and second
grade children inoculated before
the state program was halted
last Wednesday.
Idaho now is waiting for a
fresh shipment of serum ordered
from the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis before re
suming the inoculations.
Peterson said Idaho got two
lots of Cutter serum and that
all 10 polio cases were inoculat
ed from the same lot.
Two U.S. Public Health spe
cialists Sunday completed in
vestigations in Lewiston and
Moscow and will come to Boise
Monday. They are Dr. Gerald
Laveck, from Greeley, Colo., and
Dr. Karl Ecklund, from Hamil
ton, Mont.
