Council VotesTes: Social Chairman Group Incorporated by ASUO; Board Members OK’ed After two weeks of consider ation of the group’s problems and financial troubles, the ex ecutive council Tuesday voted to incorporate the social chair men group into the ASUO. A resolution provided that the social chairmen group would be supervised by the ASUO coun cil, budgeted on an ASUO bud get, and may be disbanded by the executive council whenever conditions warrant. It was felt by the council that the end of the war and the accompanying return of many all-campus functions would find such a group no longer necessary. The budget for the group may be utilized only for all-campus func tions, and the ASUO control would be extended only for that purpose, the resolution provided. Previously, the social chairmen group had gone in the hole, but after a recent post game dance, they now have $45 in* their treasury. This money auto matically goes into the ASUO trea sury, while the group was budget ed for a like amount. Attending the executive council was Dorothy Frideger, representa tive of the social chairmen. She advised the council that the group’s purpose was to help solve the prob It’s yellower than a Beaver! It’s greener than a Fresh man ! ? ? ? ? ? lems of the social chairmen, to bring a closer relationship among the social chairmen, and to plan activities to fill in open dates on the social calendar. The council decided not to send rally squad representatives to the game series with the University of Washington. Audrey Holliday, ASUO presi dent, announced that the appoint ment of Joe Grimm, senior repre sentative on the council, as a mem ber of the athletic board, and Phyl lis Evans, junior representative on the council, as a member of the educational activities board, has been approved by Acting President Orlando John Hollis. Subject of Mr. Hollis’ approval, Bonnie Umphlette, senior in busi ness administration, has been ap pointed to the disciplinary com mittee. Bob Schott, secretary-treasurer, ASUO, and Douglas Moore, sopho more representative, ASUO, were appointed to handle collections from organizations for next year’s student handbook. International Club Meeting Cancelled Victor Morris, faculty adviser for the International Relations club, announced the cancellation of the Pacific northwest conference of International Relations clubs to have been held at the University April 6 and 7. Miss Amy Hemmway Jones, di rector of the clubs for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which sponsors them, ex plained that an office of defense (Please turn to page four) I ransportation Order Cancels Annual University Celebration; Ducks Express Opinions of Rule By FLORA FURROW Another flame from the candle of campus activities was quickly extinguished yesterday just a few minutes after nocn as the Oregon Dads President Gene Vandenynde issued his official statement cancelling the eighteenth annual Dad’s Da/ weekend because of an ODT ruling to the effect that all con ferences of 50 or more people after February 1 were to ’ o called off. Regarding the cancelling ot Dad s Day, Dean of Personnel Karl W. Onthank, on behalf of the faculty Dad’s Day committee said. Wt* regret that it has been necessary to call off Dad’s Day this year !• it: realize a necessity for cooperating with the ODT in curbing travel. I, for one, am particularly sorry because this year’s student committed lias done one of the best jobs ever turned out on the campus to pvat on a good program. It is too bad this program couldn’t have her* presented for the dads. As the flicker of rumor to the effect that the Dad's Day would not be put on this year spread over the Oregon campus and burst into a conflagration of reality when the official news came through, student,n on the campus expressed their feelings, remembering that this event paralleled to some extent the now extinct annual homecoming program and similar functions and was another crimper blocking the use of energies and initiative on the part of students. They realized, however, that such actions are not only necessary but right in wartime and looked forward, again, to a day of victory when the Oregon campri?! justifiably can again be alive. Student Opinions This is what the students thought: John J. Craig, student chairman of the 1945 Dad's Day progra ;t I amy very disappointed that the student committee was unable to produce the program that was planned for the Dads, but all the members of the Dad's Day committee realize that the right thing has been done. All the Dad’s Day committee work and plans are so far ahead i f schedule that Dad's Day program might have been presented thr; weekend with ease. I would like to thank the members of the faculty and the stride t body for the excellent cooperation that was extended for the 394S» Dad’s Day program and am sure that no one would have been ub's-t appointed by the student committee’s program. Audrey Holliday, ASUO president: Although all of us would lit s to have our dads with 11s on Dad’s Day, the existing conditions hav» made it impossible for them to be here. However, every dad may knovV, that his son or daughter will be thinking particularly of him on tlon weekend we set aside for him. f think it is especially unfortunate view of the fact that the present Dad's Day committee had plamu* such a wonderful weekend. Signe Eklund, president of Phi Theta Upsilon: It will be a gr< , 1: disappointment to our dads. They've been looking forward to tb* iir weekend for a long time as much as we have. Floyd Fredrickson, freshman class president: I think the dads will probably come anyway on account of the Oregon-Oregon State basket ball game which has not been cancelled. Phyllis Horstman, ASUO vice-president: Calling off Dad’s Day is a' big disappointment to all of us but we realize that events are bring called off on other campuses too. I’m sure we sense the necessity cf it, and will cooperate 100 per cent. Bernice Granquist, junior class vice-president: Everything possii'h* should be done to continue our Oregon traditions but if government, orders make this impossible, we should willingly comply. Perhaps wa could still carry on Dad's Day on a small scale in Eugene. George Luoma, spokesman for the Secret Six: When informed of thtt ODT’s action the Secret Six immediately took the restrictive announce ment under advisement. Their opinion held the ODT’s message is well founded on military necessity. In concluding their conference, the Six unanimously approved 1 resolution which was relayed to Dad's weekend officials: An interesting (Please timi to page Jour)
