No. 2 Rush Continues Until Tuesday Rush continues today with sor ority and fraternity hopefuls vis itin ' campus Greek living organi zaJions in a maze of smiles and handshakes. Sorority rushers visited all 18 houses by Thursday evening. To day they can accept up to eight return invitations; Saturday, six; Sunday, fojr; and Monday, pref erenc ■ night, three. Rids will be given at 5 p m Tuesday. Carey Cash, Fanhellenic presi dent, attributed the drop in sor ority rush registration, 060 this year from 790 last fall, to the in creased scholastic requirements set by the council. A freshman rushee must have at least a 5 stanine this year; last fall she could pledge with a 4 stanine. Up perclasswomen must have a 2.2 accumulative C.P.A, raised from a 2. requirement last year Men participating in rush visit ed four different houses Thurs day They will visit one more dif ferent house today and they can return to three others. Saturday, preference day, they will visit three. Preference cards will be signed by the rushees 4:3041 pm Saturday, in the Student Union basement and bids will then be made by the houses. Dan O’Connell, Inter-Fraternity Council President's Council presi dent, said that the number of men rushing has not yet been tabulat ed He estimated that there are ‘ more than in the past couple of years, probably 700 to 800 ” Lon nie Shepherd is JFC rush chair man. Ducks to See - Telegram Support The Webfoot football team will be supported by a telegram sent by University students and sup porters Saturday as they meet University of Texas in Austin. A group of students led by Fete Cotton and Larry Broderick, chairman of the rally board, con ceived of the idea of sending a telegram to the team since there was no opportunity for a sendofl rally before they left Thursday morning. Students may put their signa lures on the telegram for ten cents per signature. Signatures were taken Thursday in the lobby of the Student Union and will be taken Friday until 4 p.m. Kach signature adds one third inch to the telegram which will be sent to Texas Friday night. Pete Cotton said that if they get 2500 signatures, the telegram will be 65 feet long. The telegram will be presented to the team before the beginning of the game.

Does that mean price or weight?" University Dormitories Filled to Capacity The University's dormitories have been filled to capacity by over 3100 freshmen, upperclass men and members of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, H. P. Barnhart, director of dormitories said Thursday. Barnhart said the figure in cludes 1700 women and 1300 men, occupying all of 770 available rooms. Some students are sharing rooms with counselors, he said. Members of Phi Delta Theta liv ing in Barrister Inn in Straub are paying the full dormitory rental. Barnhart said. The fraternity was burned oui of its 15th and Kin caid St. location in a July fire. Another 40 upperclassmen will be moved into Bean Mall this weekend, bringing the dormitory to its full 360 person capacity. Barnhart said work on the hall’s lounges, dining rooms and kitch ens has not been completed. Male residents of the dorm are eating in Carson Hall and women in Straub, he said, adding that no specific date for completion of Bean’s facilities has been set. The Veterans dormitories are not being used this year, accord ing to the director. Sign-up Sites Set Signups for male rushees will be taken from 8:30 to 10:30 a m. Friday and from 9 a m. to 10:30 a m. Saturday morning in the Hendricks Hall Dining room. Preference signups will also be in the SU basement at 4:30 Sat urday afternoon. Registration Change Adds to Confusion Wednesday’s lineup at McArthur Court for English de partment registration seemed to grow right into Thursday, with several students lined up at the doors as early as 5 a.m. on the second day. Other schools and departments had their registration headaches too, but none seemed to parallel the three-blocks-long line of students trying to enroll for litera ture and writing classes. The sign-up mass resulted in part because students were given an extra half day Wednesday for counselling and advis or s conferences. When the lines were ready to open, a greater Change Made In Psyc TV Hours Daylight-Standard Time con fusion will alter first week schedules of students enrolled in televised General Psycholo gy courses, Psychology 201. Because the TV studios KOAC and KOAP (Channels 7 and 10) will still be on daylight time, students will not be able to view the first two classes at the regular times, 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Standard Time, in the ap pointed rooms. There will be two extra broadcasts of the affected lec tures Monday, and Friday. Classes can be seen both days at 7 a.m., 8 a.m.. noon or 4 p.m. Standard Time. Students may listen to these broadcasts either on a private set at any of these times or at a regular viewing room at the following times: 138 Common wealth, noon or 4 p.m.; 104 Vil lard, 7 a.m., 8 a.m., noon or 4 p.m.; 103 Villard, 7 a.m. or 4 p.m.; 205 Villard, 7 a.m.; 304 Villard. 7 a.m., noon or 4 p.m.; 306 Villard, 7 a.m. or noon; 307 Deady, 7 a.m. or 4 p.m. number of students was ready for enrollment. All available English Depart ment personnel, including clerical employees, were helping in the registration lines or directing stu dents at entrances. Eugene City Police were called in as a routine precautionary measure. One student was reported in jured Wednesday. Ronald Brine gar, a senior from Klamath Falls, suffered minor lacerations on his left hand and was treated and re leased from the University Health Service. Other students were reported to have been injured but none could be located .and there was no record of their having been treated by the health service or the doctor and three nurses on duty at Mac Court. DONALD DUSHANE, dean of of students, said, “The main prob j lem seemed to be that all the stu dents wanted to register at the same time.” He commented that J if good weather had not prevailed many students may not have been willing to stand in the sign-up lines. In general, the lines were or derly, and no disciplinary meas ures were sought. Eugene City Police reported no disorder. School and departments that had access to large areas seemed to have least difficulty enrolling (Continued on (age 10) Discrimination Statement Urges Human Concepts President Arthur S. Flemming has urged University liv ing groups to consider persons for membership solely on their merits and without regard to their race, color, national ity or creed in a statement on discrimination recently re leased. Flemming’s statement is as follows: Goldschmidt Speech Advocates International Center, Foster City Construction of an internation al center, student aid to the chil dren of migratory laborers, and the formation of a “foster city” in Mexico, were among programs outlined by ASUO President Neil Goldschmidt at a new student orientation assembly Monday eve ning. “I WILI, MOVE immediately to appoint an independent commit tee to examine civil rights in this community,” stated Goldschmidt. He added that the committee will investigate housing and job dis crimination and also consider any unjust treatment due to race, creed, or national origin. Goldschmidt also outlined plans for a committee to investigate the educational conditions of the chil dren of migratory workers in Ore gon. He feels that educational op portunities for these youngsters are often hampered by their par ent’s occupations. If the commit tee finds that pressure by the Uni versity student body will alter this situation, he declared that such action will be taken immedi ately. “If needed, we will mobilize the skills necessary to provide these children with all of the help that we can give.” THE ASUO president also said that improvements must be made in international affairs. He out lined two steDs which the Univer sity might take—an international center on the campus and a foster city in Mexico. He expressed hope that land and financial aid will be made available for the construc tion of a University center for dissemination of literature for study and travel abroad. He expressed hope that interna tional relations between Mexico and the United States could be strengthened through first hand study and help from University students and faculty members. "1 propose that this student govern ment, with the full support of its students, move to undertake a committee for 12 to 15 years in the adoption of a small village in Mexico as a foster city where we can donate time, energy, and fin ancial assistance to bring ade quate education to the people.” THE SPEECH was concluded with the observation that Ameri can idealism and honesty are be ing weakened through small daily acts of dishonesty. “Here and now the petty stealing from the libra ry, from the art department, from the umbrella stands, from the bike rack, . . . from anywhere must cease! . . . These actions, along with plagiarism on papers and cheating on examinations, are , violations of the yardstick of hon esty between man and man that 1 has made this nation what it is today.” < . » 11 ■ ' ' ' • i 1. un January z*. last, t n e Board of Higher Education of the State of Oregon passed a resolu tion stating that: "The Board, recognizing that gratifying progress has been made during the past two years toward the elimination of racial and religious restrictions from the national charters of frater nities and sororities having chap ters at the University and Oregon State University, believes that in view of this progress it should be possible to secure the elimination of the few remaining such restric tions within the coming two years. Therefore, the Board now directs that after January 1, 1963, the University and Oregon State Uni versity shall withdraw recogni tion of any fraternity or sorority whose national charter then re quires local chapters to restrict their membership on the basis of race or religion. 2. We have taken and are con tinuing to take steps designed to make sure that all groups now on our campus either are or will be in compliance with this action by January 1, 1963. 3.
