MILLRACE CHANGE
10 BE BENEFICIAL
Alteration of Course Will Make
Room for Thousand New
Bleacher Seats
Recent announcement by Harry,
Devereaux, Eugene city engineer, to
tiie effect that the course of the mill
race would not be changed until lat
er in the year has met with the ap
proval of the Junior week-end com
mittee. When word that the mill- ■
race was to be straightened was re
ceived on the campus a few weeks ago
there was considerable concern. Many j
feared that the work might be in pro
gress during the week-end festivities J
and would interfere with the annual
canoe fete.
When the wmrk is begun it will in-!
volve a straightening of the course of
the race from the first turn above the
Anchorage down to the Anchorage, a
distance of about 100 yards. The work
will be done by the city of Eugene, at
an estimated cost of about $3000.
When it was first learned on the capi
pus that this change was to be made
there was some opposition by students,
who felt that the change would destroy
the beauty of the race at this point and
render it almost useless for the annual
canoe fete. This attitude is entirely
wrong, according to Graduate Manager
Benefiel, who has been in close touch
with tlve city engineer since the plan
was proposed. Benefiel says that this
change will be to the advantage of the
students for it will make the millrace
far more attractive and useful than it
has been before.
The plan, as it will be carried out
amounts to this: There will be a twelve
foot level space from the pavement to
the beginning of the slope to the water,
this slope, says Devereaux, being a one
and one-lialf to one slope, which means
that there will be a drop of one foot
to every foot and a half on the level.
At the bottom of this gradual slope
there will be another level of 4 feet
and then a short slope to the water.
The great advantage of the plan from
a student viewpoint, says Benefiel, is
the fact that it will give room for
a thousand and more seats in the space
now occupied by the race bleachers,
and it will not be necessary to build
an under pinning for the seats, for this
fill-in on the slope will be about the
correct angle. It is thought that the
new bleachers will be safer and cheaper
than the present ones.
As soon as the excavation begins it
will be necessary to tear down the
bleachers that are there, and they will
probably be replaced by the University
or the Associated Stuilents; no definite
plan on this is out yet.
If this plan were not adopted, says
the city engineer, it would be necessary
to build a 6 to 14 foot vertical stone
wall from the turn in the race to the
Anchorage; a plan of this nature would
cost the city about $8000, and -would
destroy the race for student use so far
as the canoe fete is concerned. Since
it is absolutely necessary that an im
provement be made on the race at this
point, in order to protect the pave
ment and allow space for a sidewalk,
there is no question but that this plan
is the most practical from both the
students’ and the city’s angle.

CAMPUS HIGH VICTORY
AT SALEM IS SURPRISE

no grades lower tlian B. Hempy, the
youngest of the quintet, is 15 and has
a B average.
The two substitutes, Hanks and
Buell, are 16 years each and both have
high averages. Says Prof. H. Benjamin,
principal of the University high, “I
have taught in a good many high
schools, but in none have I seen schol
astic hnd athletic ability so on a par.”
Professor Benjamin went on to ex
plain that there are only about 50 boys
of high school age to choose a team
from in the University high, and that
the attendance limit which is put upon
the high school precludes all suspicion
that “ringers” for athletics are ob
tained there. He also cited that the
University high ruling is that a student
must have B average to engage in any
student activity outside of athletics,
and that Bradley is president of the
student body, Buch held the office of
vice-president and that nearly all the
others are engaged in some other stu
dent activity besides their basketball
work.
Professor Benjamin lays all the suc
cess of the quintet this year on the
spirit of the players and the coaching
of George McIntyre last year and Mr.
McFadden this year.
STORY OF CRUCIFIXION
TOLD IN SACRED CANTATA
(Continued from page one.)
They were able to portray the clamor
of the crowd and the solemnity of the
occasion in a way that was truly re
markable.
John Stark Evans, as organist and
choirmaster, again showed his ability
to conduct a group of singers, and ob
tain from them a concert of highest
rank. The perfection of the way in
which the cantata was given is due
entirely to his efforts, and his masterly
handling of the organ.
The services wtere prefaced, by a
short explanation by Bishop Taylor
Sumner of Portland, of the meaning and
significance of the cantata. Bishop
Sumner also delivered the invocation.
ABT EXHIBIT SCHEDULED
Students of the Portland center art
classes will hold an exhibition of their
work done during the year, on Satur
day, April 7, in the art rooms at Lincoln
high school, from 4 to 10 p. m. Judge

evening, and tea will be served during
the afternoon hours. The University
faculty and students are asked to at

What—Me Worry”
Here’s a Tip!
yWell, you’d think so, with exams just a week off
and term problems ’n’ all to write. But why say,
“Me Worry?” Here’s a little tip. A Peter Pan
“Me Worry” will drive away all cares. Two kinds
of ice cream, bananas delightfully combined with
strawberry and pineapple crushed fruits, and nuts, is
a confection that’ll dispel that worried look and pre
occupied air, and make exams seem easy.
