MILL RACE MAT LOSE TRADITION Fear Of Commercialism Leads to Action RESOLUTION IS PASSED Council Objects to Marring Beuty of Place Encroachment of commercialism upon the mill race, long cherished in Oregon tradition in memory, song, and prose and equally cher ished in reality, is now frowned upon by the student council, which yesterday announced a resolution condemning specifically the erection of a public dance hall near the site of the annual canoe fete. The council’s resolution, though addressed to whom it may concern, was sent to members of the city planning commission of Eugene, of which Mayor E. B. Parks is a mem ber. Commission Is Named Others on the commission are: Prof. W. R. B. Wilcox, school of architecture; Miss Mozelle Hair, ex tension division; Paul Kelty, editor Eugene Guard; Judge E, O. Potter, 957 Willamette street; S. M. Cal kins, U. 8. National bank building; H. B. Ruth, 395 West Seventeenth street; Harry Devereaux, city en gineer; and Dr. N. C. Nelson, White Temple, Eugene. The resolution was adopted by the student council at its meeting September 30, when Anna DeWitt and Carl Dahl were instructed to prepare the paper. Yestesday copies were placed in the mail for the members of the planning commis sion. Future Action Problematical “The student council, speaking for the Associated Students, be lieves the mill race should be main tained in its present form,” Walter Malcolm, president, said in a state ment yesterday. “Just what action wo can take is problematical at this time,” he added, “but we aro pre pared to defend our position.” The resolution, in full, follows: Whereas: The annual canoe fete sponsored by the University of Ore gon affords a great deal of enter tainment and pleasure to- the stu dents, the people of Eugene, and the guests of the University, and Whereas: Any commercial enter prise tehding to utilize either the mill race, ■ or its banks in this vicinity, would impair tlio beauty of this fete and ultimately load to its abolishment, and Whereas: The erection of a public dance hall would change the atmos phere of the mill race from its pic turesque quietness to that of jnzz, noise, and lights, and Whereas: The congestion of traf fic at a dangerous intersection of highway and railway crossing, by the Anchorage, would endanger the safety of student pedestrians, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the students of the University of Ore gon that any such undertaking is contrary to their interests and is undesirable* in proximity to the University. HOW STUDENTS ENTER HAYWARD FIELD TODAY All Oregon students go through gate eight to the new stand, by order of Jack Benefiel. This is necessary to avoid congestion at the gates.

EXPERIENCES IN AFRICA TOLD BY HOLDREDGE Claire Iioldredge, graduate of tho University three years ago and since a diamond miner in the Bel gian Conga of Central Africa, talk ed to the Condon Club on his ex ! periences in Africa and the dia j mond mines Thursday night. The 1 club, composed of geology majors and professors, assembled at Dr. I Warren D. Smth’s home. This Was | the first meeting of tho year. One of the main points of Mr. Holdrodge’s speech was to discuss tho geology of the country, a mat | ter of interest to the geology ma I jors. In brief, he described tho land as being void of forestry; a ! high, gently rolling plateau. “Because of tho barrenness of tho I land,” lie said, “the inhabitants i must plant everything they eat, ] due to the ,fact that tho leading j crop is a hienuicl, and because of j the native’s inability to store away j for the future, they have two years ; of plenty, followed by two year’s of famine,” the Oregon graduate explained. The speaker also expressed his belief that, although some temper ate zones, as for example the canal zone, could be made inhabitable for the white man, Africa never would. ; lie gave two reasons for this: it is ! too lurge a country, and the ma ! laria mosquito is too prevalent. mmm\ Walk-Over Shoes FOR MEN FOR WOMEN Fight, Fight, F°z'' zm Oregon, Fight, Fight!

The most important changes or dered were the elimination of the course in pre-engineering at the University and that in pre-medics at the College. The boards ruled that music was a special subject of instruction and journalism as a major course ior department be confined to the University alone and that only service courses in these subjects and in physical ed ucation be given at O. A. C. The department of household arts at the University is to be reorgan ized along lines that met the ap proval of the board. The board ruled that the school of business ad ministration at the University and the school of commerce at the col lege are sufficiently differentiat ed, and that they may operate at both institutions as at present. An agreement had been reached between the two institutions re garding courses in education and the arts and scienes previously to the meeting of the board at which the rulings above were made. The controversy arose last spring when O. A. C. submitted a list of new courses to the board of higher curricula for approval. The Uni versity in a brief presented May 18 protested against many of these courses on the ground that they would duplicate work already off ered at the University. At a meeting held in May be tween Colin V. Dyment, dean of the college of literature, science, and the arts at the University, and ST. E. Smith, dean of the School of basic arts and sciences, the Agri cultural College agreed not to offer a bachelor’s degree in its school of basic arts and sciences and to offer no major work in this school, its courses to serve only as service courses. In July Dean H. D. Sheldon of the school of education at Oregon and Dean E. D. Resslep of the school of vocational education at O. A. C. reached an agreement re garding courses to be offered in the respective schools. Policy Regarding China Chosen for Debate With 0. A. C.
