Harris said Tuesday that the Athletic Department is waiting for the presidential go-ahead be foie formulating concrete plans for financing the stadium. IH'T ONK thing is for sure: If the President okays the stadium, construction will begin, using money the athletic department already has i between $400,000 and $500,0001. just as-soon as the plan of financing can be devised.

KOTHKKT WILL take over the duties of Ted Maier, formerly Yell King, who was asked to re sign by the Rally Board. Al though Maier claims that he did not resign, he will comply with the wishes of the ASUO Cab inet and Rally Board not to act as Yell King. Tuesday Dan Williams. ASUO President, said that Maier was not fired, but rather that the Rally Board asked for his resig nation. He said that the Rally Board realized that final action on the resignation would have to be tak en by the ASUO Senate. "The officiality of the issue is in the hands of the Senate." Wil liams said. Phil Sherburne. ASUO Senator, who has criticized the action taken by the ASUO Cabinet. Tuesday quoted from the Rally Board Charter and the ASUO Constitution to support his claims about the unconstitutionality of the action. ARTICLE III, section 5 of the Rally Board Charter says. "The chairman and members of the (Continued on pat/e 7) SU mugs, cutlery thefts hit peak Thefts of articles from the StT Fishbowl have reached a new high this term, according to Jack Cross. SU night manager. ABOUT $650 worth of'cutlerv. coffee mugs and other equipment has been stolen in the last four weeks. Cross said that "this year has been the worst of any of the fall terms” and noted that thefts of SU equipment are usually high during the fall term. He blamed the thefts on "lack of cooperation” and stated that the losses are a "major contrib uting factor” in the "rising costs of food” in the fish bowl. Estimated total cost of the pro posed 40,000-seat structure would be $1,750,000. FORMER University Presi dent O Meredith Wilson ap proved construction of the sta dium. He left to become Presi dent of the University of Minne sota shortly thereafter. Harris said the Athletic Depaitment preferred not to hold new Presi dent Flemming to Wilson's deci sion. and therefore has been wait ing for him to act. As late as last spring, a com plete cost-breakdown plan for the stadium has been devised. It never was official, according to Harris, and is now even more ten tative. ALTHOUGH THERE are no figures available, except for the Athletic Department's contribu tion to the stadium, three other sources would probably be used to build the structure. They are: • Contributions. The athletic department may solicit, among ! others, one single major contribu tor, for whom the stadium could be named. • Sale of permanent seats to j donors on a permanent basis for : various prices and at various lo ' cations in the stadium. • A bond issue. A sum would be borrowed from some source on a 30-year payment basis. In order to bond, a pledge would have to be made against the is sue for its repayment. Probable sources from which the mo ey could be repaid are student building fees, future athletics in rome and contributions. If it is built, the r.ew stadium will be located approximately one mile from the campus on the north bank of the Willamette Riv er, directly across from the phys ical plant, on 92 acres of Jane’ al ready purchased by the athletic department. THE STRUCTURE would have 10.000 seats on the sidelines with ' no end zone seatr. Instead, there ' would be end zone parking for ap ' proximately 400 cars where fans could watch the game without having their automobiles. Each side of the stadium would have 20.04*0 seats, with 11.000 l built of concrete on filled a-ea ; covering 50 rows and the other 9.000 in 34 rows in a reinforced ■ concrete structure on top of the 1 fill. The total seating include? 22, 000 seats in the bowl ar.d IS,000 j in the raised structure. THU STADIUM would be b ilt to within 20 feet of the sidelines, j bringing seats closer to the ac i tion than in most stadiums. The scats would be made c.f v. od fastened to conciete base, i The fill for the first 50 rows ; on either side would be obtained by grading the overall site toward the field to not only provide the | basic fill but also to aid in drainage. The field itself wo ild i be eight to 10 fee t below gro ,nd level. Tickets allotted for Homecoming Distribution of student reserved seat tickets for the Oregon-Ore gon State Homecoming game at Hayward Field on Nov. 25 (Thanksgiving weekend! will be gin at 4 p.m. Thursday, at the McArthur Court tieket offices. ASFO president Dan Williams announced today. The ticket windows will re main open until 9 p.m. Thursday evening and then distribution will continue during regular ticket office hours until the deadline of 5 p.m. on Wednesday. Nov. 15. The regular office hours are from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 12 noon Satur days. The student ticket distribution plan. Williams said, is the same as adopted two years ago by the ASUO Senate and successfully used at. the 1959 Oregon-Oregon State Homecoming game at Hay ward Field. Fach student holding an athle tic card is entitled to one re served seat in the student sec tion for the game and must pre sent his athletic card for vali dation when picking up his stu dent ticket for the Beaver game. There will be no group assign ment of seats and each ticket must be picked up individually by the holder of the athletic card. The single exception will be for married students, who may pur chase a reserved .‘-pouse ticket for $2.00 at the same time they se cure their own reserved seat. This will insure their being seated to gether at the game. Others who wish to sit in groups are urged to pick up their tickets together so adjoining •-eat locations may be assigned. \\ illiams said the two excep tions would be the members of the Frosh 200 and the Drakes, both groups recognized by the Rally Board. Members of these two organizations will be seated in special sections and will be assigned seats in these areas by identifying themselves at the ticket windows and they will be checked against special rosier lists furnished the athletic ticket office by their student leaders. Losers' signs must be removed ASl'O primary election can didates are reminded that those who lose ill the primary must have their campaign material down by noon Thursday. Election rules say that there will lie no campaigning from 8 aun. to 12 midnight Wednes day.
