No Restrictions For Frosh Men ('losing hours will remain in effect next year for all Uni versity women students except seniors and women over 21 years of age. The proposal under consideration, which would have ex tended the same privileges to sophomore and junior women over 21 who have parental permission, has been rejected. University President Arthur S. Flemming issued a state ment Wednesday on the University's decision on closing hours. Effective fall term 1964, only senior women and those over 21 years of age may return to dormitories after the designated closing hours. Closing hours at present are 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 1 a m. Friday and Saturday. In concurring with the recommendation that closing hours remain in effect, the Student Conduct Committee recommended a provision that would make freshman men living in University housing subject to closing hour regula tions. The office of Student Affairs recommended against this Sense Organs Steer Psycological Attitude By JOE FRAZIER Emerald Staff Writer “Some sense organs under con trol of the central nervous sys tem do much more than tell us what's going on around us. They set our attitude and psychologi cal state,” Melvin J. Cohen as sistant professor of biology told a Browsing Room audience Wed nesday. Cohen, in a speech titled "The Biological Base of Reality” said the worse thing that could be done to man from this stand point was to isolate him. "This has severe effects on the behavior al state, because it minimizes sensory input.’he said. The inner ear. said Cohen, is responsible for our sense of bal ance. He is doing research in this field with the lobster "The j organs are more accessible in the lobster than in other mam mals,” he stated. “Electrodes are i used to tap the impulses from the neuron to the brain.” He said the impulses were sent via neurons, which were connected to hairs in a sac iP the head of the lobster. This sac also contains sand, which pushes or pulls on the hairs, depending on the direction in which the lobster happens to be leaning. "The human brain can influ- j ence impulses from sensory or gans before they reach the cen tral nervous system.” he noted. Cohen said this was done by ' the process of exclusion, using as an example the reader who may only be passively aware of a conversation going on near him, then suddenly takes notice of it. "Some people can control vi tal organs normally thought to be involuntary, such as the heart and respiratory system," he stat ed, citing yoga experts who could slow down body processes until no pulse could be detect ed by physicians. "Control of this type is prac ticed only by those who have had years of practice,” he not ed. Sensory reactions can also be increased, such as in cases of exceptional memory, he said, "but this was more often the result of practice than of control such as used by yoga experts. Student Questionnaire The Emerald Opinion Re search Committee will admin istor a questionnaire between 1 and 4 p.m. today and Thursday in the Student I'niou. Room number will be posted. The sessions are to give stu dents who missed the first ad ministering of the questionnaire a chance to participate. Stu dents should bring the post card they received notifying them of the poll with them. move, and Flemming disapproved the proposal. The Conduct Committee also recommended the University should eliminate closing hours for upper division women in 1965-66 and as soon as possible thereafter for all students except freshman men and women. Flemming’s Statement Flemming agreed an evaluation of policy would be beneficial, and will await the results of such as evaluation prior to further de cisions. Following is Flemming's state ment: • "There has been consider able discussion on and off the University of Oregon campus rel ative to closing hours for women in University living organizations. • “Closing hour regulations during the current academic year have been the same regulations as have been in effect for a num ber of years. • ‘‘The Student Conduct pro gram contains the following pro vision: “Women students shall return to their living organizations in accordance with the following provisions: “a. Freshmen women shall re turn by the closing hour, "b. Sophomore and junior women under 21 years of age may return after the closing hour if their par ents have requested that they be given this privil ege. "c. Senior women and women 21 years of age or older may return after the clos ing hour.1’ • "At the beginning of this academic year.
