Special Rush Period
Planned for Fall Term
By Ann« Ritchey
EimttM AtiiiUnl Ntwi Mittr
A special rush period, for wom
en above second-term freshman
.standing, will be held next fall
before New Student Week.
It will begin Saturday, Sept.
17, and end Monday, Sept. 19.
Open house will be held from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. on the beginning
day.
Signup for the special rush
ing will begin immediately, and
should be done in Mrs. Wick
ham’s office before students
leave for the summer, according
to Olivia Tharaldson, Panhellcnie
president.
The women who participate in
this rushing period will stay in
Carson hall starting Sept, it,
and will be able to move out Sept.
19 or 20.
They will live on the second
floor, so will not interfere with
freshmen women, who will move
in Sept. 18. Upperclasswomen
who will live on the second floor
will not be able to register un
til Sept. 21, Wednesday, so will
probably not fill the second floor
from the beginning of the week.
"This rush period should oper
ate to the mutual benefit of
transfer students and old stu
dents here, and the sororities,’’
according to Mrs. Wickham.
Regular rushing for fresh
man women, will begin Friday of
New Student week and end the
following Tuesday, which is
preference night.
Some question concerning sign
ing of contracts with dormitories
next year arose in the course of
Conservatives Win
LONDON (AP) — Prime
Minister Anthony Kdcn and
the Conservative party scored
a smashing victory in Thurs
day’s election.
They won a new five-year
term with an indicated house
of commons majority of 50 or
more seats, against the scant
17-seat margin they had in the
last parliament.
Scholarships
Announced
discussion of the uppcrclass rush
period.
Such contracts will definitely
not be used, according to both
Ray Hawk, associate director of
Student Affairs, and H. P. Barn-1
hart, director of dormitories.
A possible connection between
the upperclass and contract dor
mitory systems, such as those
used at other universities, would
be that the dormitories will have
a more consistent number of
residents throughout the year,
instead of the usual fall-term
peak with gradual declines dur
ing the year.

Students, Faculty
Affected by Bills
By Don Osborne
Emerald Reporters
Six bills were passed during
the last meeting of the Oregon
legislature which will directly
and indirectly affect students
and faculty members of the Uni
versity.
The faculty benefited by the
passing of Senate Bill 47 which
grants retirement privileges to
University employees. J. O. Lind
strom, business manager,, said
that the bill “is a great advan
tage to employees and a very
fine arrangement for securing
faculty personnel.” The benefits
start after 35 years of service
and amount to about one half of
the employees average wage dur
ing the time employed by the
University.
Architecture to Gain
The Legislature, under House
bill 731, granted the University
5550,000 which will provide for
a new extension to the architec
ture building. Plans are now un
derway and construction will be
gin next spring. The new addi
tion will be north of the science
building and will adjoin the old
heating plant with the architec
ture bulding.
House Bill 398 enabled the Uni
versity to increase the amount
of bonded indebtedness that the
state board of higher education
can incur for self liquidating
projects such as dormitories and
married students’ housing. Plans
for a new dormitory, to be built
east of the Virgil D. Earl dormi
tory on the tennis court block,
are now under consideration.
A study of married student
housing facilities showed recent
ly that despite the fact that there
now is housing for 375 families,
by 1963 250 to 350 more units
will be needed.
Need May Decline
Senate Bill 302, abolishing the
state law of compulsory physical
education will have little imme
diate effect on the University.
The state board has established
almost identical laws as the state
maintained on compulsory edu
cation. If, however, the board is
unable to enforce these laws then
the need for PE instructors may
decline.
The reduction of the budget
request, House Bill 70, by the
state board of higher education
resulted in a raise in tuition fees
for students attending state in
stitutions. A ten dollars per quar
ter increase was incurred on
resident students and $20 on non
residents.
The sixth bill, House Bill 12,
passed by the Legislature affects
University personnel. It provides
for the deduction of two cents
per day from employees to pro
vide for better insurance cover
age for employees and their
families. The deduction formerly
amounted to one cent per day.
