Council Tries to Improve !":;:«imiwawiiiMiffBiHWwmiiiwiimwawBwwwmg}';;?i Dormitories ny MAXINE KLIJOTT Emerald Feature Ktiitor An organization which became official Uie last week of fall term has had spectacular success in implement inn its ideas, and its president is expecting even more success in the future. The organization is the Inter-Dorm Council, and nearly every major change in University dormitories this year has been the result of 1DC work. According to llal Klngslien, 1DC president, the pur poses of 1DC lie in promoting anil improving dormitory living and in serving as a line of communication be tween students and the housing policy committee and the housing office. HUCCESS That the group has succeeded is evident from the policy changes resulting from IDC's efforts, "Maybe it seems minor, but giving students the choice of meat or lish on Friday was something we worked for," Kingslien said. t I DC was instrumental in opening up men’s dormitory u lounges to women, First the group took a poll and found that only two men'* dorms opposed the idea of allowing girls in the lounges. After researching the situation, IDC made a resolution which it sent to the housing committee, which independently researched the question, finally passing the resolution. CONSEQUENCES The effect of the opening had further-reaching con sequences when, in legalizing the lounge openings, it became evident that similar concessions would have to he made to fraternities and men's co-ops. "Opening the lounges was one of the most obvious things that needed changing," Kingslicn says. IOC is composed of every dormitory president on campus. "Previously the functions of dorm presidents were pretty social, but this is changing,” Kingslien said. "Now he will have more responsibilities, whereas a lot of dorm presidents in the past have been pretty apathetic. We want people next year who will want to get involved, who will want a voice in student govern ment. "We want to become an information source for the rest of the campus. We’ve set up an effective line of communication between dorm residents and the admin istration, and we feel we can be of help to the rest of the campus,” Kingslien said. What’s on tap for the future? Kingslien hopes to get phones installed in every dormitory room in the near future. "It should be cheaper than current private phone rates,” Kingslien observed. Seminar rooms in dormitory basements is another I DC interest. "Let’s face it,’’ Kingslien said. "By about midnight, someone is asleep in just about every room. Where can the students go? Seminar rooms would cer tainly alleviate this problem.” Kingslien is emphatic on the possibilities of IDC. 'They’re practically limitless. Next year, we're going to broaden our scope, and we hope to do bigger things.” Do dormitory residents appreciate the changes brought about by IDC? Ask a fish-hating I’rotestant some Friday.

"I was pleased to see that the national organization recog nizes the need for individual au tonomy in discrimination prac tices," Houston said. He said the national organiza tion is in agreement with the Oregon Legislature's ruling that all campus housing for students ■ under 21 must be non discrimina tory. "Individual chapters have the right and responsibility to comply,” Houston said. The national organization agreed at the conclave that un 1 less chapters declared in writ ing that they weren't discrimin ating, the college or university should investigate the chapter's membership practices. Membership selectivity certifi cates have been filed with Uni versity President Arthur S. Firm ining by all fraternities on this campus, Houston said.
