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

be supported by a telegram sent
by University students and sup

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

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

tures Monday, and Friday.

precautionary measure.
One student was reported in

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.

had access to large areas seemed
to have least difficulty enrolling

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.
