The rats, listed as numbers 201 and 202 by the psychology department, gave birth to a combined total of 21 pups, as baby rats are called. Ten were in one litter, 11 in the other. The mothers seem to be doing fine and are quite protective, according to James L. Whittier, research assistant in psychol ogy, who announced the births. When asked about the fathers, Whittier stated, "I don’t know whether to say they are doing fine or are unidentified." He also mentioned that five other rats, numbers not an nounced, are expecting any time now. "We really don't want to steal anybody's thunder, though," he commented. Meanwhile, back at the mouse house, Snub was still expect ing at any time, and at the Portland zoo, Belle the elephant was drawing large crowds of people, despite the opinion held by many persons that rats and mice are much cuter to look at. Paw Williams ASUO President Against Gift Fund Ky THOKA WILLIAMS Krnerald Staff Writer ASUO President Dan Williams listed Monday his reasons for iprosing establishment of an "As sociated Student Gift Fund.” Under the proposal, the ASUO Senate would administer the fund, contributed voluntarily by students signing over their gen eral deposit refunds. Money could be earmarked for a specific pur pose. such as purchase of a du plicating machine for student use in the library. Williams said his feelings toward the plan are “unfavor able” because • He is hesitant of putting any large surn of money under such a group as the Senate, because they are not a continuing body. 'This year’s Senate cannot dic tate to next year's,” he stated. • Also "Thifc is in direct oppo sition to the approved plan to Test Hour Reset The Biology midterm will be at 7 tonight instead of 7:9t> as announced. Critic to Speak On Art, Music Alfred Frankenstein, music and art critic of the San Fran .rlsco Chronicle and one of Amer ica's foremost art critics, will speaks at an assembly at the Uni versity on Tuesday, Jan, 30. "CUITICTS.M: What it is and what it is not." will be the title of Frankenstein’s lecture. Frankenstein is highly rated in this country for his compe tent critiques of both music and art. He has been a contributor to many publications, including Art In America, Art Bulletin, the New York Times, and the New York Herald Tribune. He has been, for the past de cade, program editor for the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. In 1047 ho wrote, under a Gug genheim Fellowship, "William Michael Harnett,” a book on an American still-life painter. He is Journalist to Talk At SU Luncheon C. E.

The room number will he posted for the no-host lunch eon. Darling will discuss the prob lems of beginning publication of a newspaper in a metro politan area. Iso rhe author of “After the Hunt.” THE CRITIC has been a guest member of the faculty of both Yale and Harvard Universities and is currently a lecturer in \mericnn Art at Mills College. THIS WILL BE his second vis t to the University. He was here ; ;n 1958 as a judge for the State j Art Alliance.

It will be a feature of the University's Festival of Arts. THE ONE-ACTS, presented by the Music School's Opera Work shop will be Mozart's “Bastien j and Bastienne" and Menotti's “The Old Maid and The Thief.” The two title roles of "Bastien ind Bastienne" are dual parts.

Proceeds from breakage fees would be used to purchase land along the millrace for develop ment as a recreation area for stu dents. WILLIAMS also mentioned that he is uncertain whether the ASUO Senate would be permitted by the State Board to hold money in trust. He said it might be necessary for the Student Union and Educational Activities Budg et Committee to administer the fund. A PETITION started last week by two students, John DeBr.’yn and Ira Wong, would bring be fore the Senate the plan for set ting up the ASUO Gift Fund. DeBruyn said Monday, “We un derstand that President Flem ming is going to find the money for the duplicator within the | general budget.” and so the need j for creation of the fund is no I longer immediate. . HE KEELS, however, that es tablishment of the fund would : still be beneficial. “This would make it possible for students to contribute to a special project with the understanding that ex cess money would be used for some other University project,” he said. The petition is no longer be ing actively circulated. DeBruyn said. "We will prepare a proposal and submit it to the proper stand ing committee for consideration." DIRECTOR OP Development Dick Williams said. "I’ll go along with the Senate, whatever they dec’de.” He suggested that the propos ed ASUO Gift Fund would not conflict with the Senate's pre vious approval of the plan to en courage students to donate their breakage fees for land acquisi tion. Under the proposal the Sen ate could appropriate money from the Gift Fund for academic, cul tural, social and recreational pro grams. including acquisition of related materials and facilities. Williams pointed out that the pro posed Gift Fund clearly encom passes the already approved plan. HE ADMINISTERS funds con tributed by alumni or others for University development in speci fied areas. He said that, as he interprets the plan, the ASUO Gift Fund would be a similar pro gram, but with students contrib uting and the Senate or other student organization administer ing.
