Oregon Stewardess
Missing in Crackup ~
Stewardess Dorothy Jean Carter,
1944 University graduate, was one
of three crew members and 18
passengers believed to have
crashed in a United Air Lines
plane on Elk mountain, Wyoming,
S9#ietime early Thursday morning.
Searching parties left Rawlins,
Wyo., Thursday for the burned-out
area in the forest on Elk mountain,
where a fire was reported about
3 a.m.—just a few minutes after
the United Mainliner, enroute east
from Portland, reported that it was
passing Sinclair, Wyo., on its
course.
The burned-out area was ex
plored from the air a few hours
later by Capt. Frank Crismon, as
sistant superintendent of flight
operations for United Air Lines
from Denver, and he reported that
it was the site of the crash.
Clouds closed in on the mountain
before he could make a close in
vestigation but he did not see any
wreckage or any signs of life.
The missing plane, was carrying
12 military personnel and six
civilian passengers, in addition to
jts crew of three, including Miss
Carter as stewardess.
Miss Carter, a native of La
Grande, was a sophomore English
njajor when she entered the Uni
versity in 1941. While on the cam
pus she lived at Highland house
and was social chairman for the
inter-co-op council as well as being

Ducks' 1919 Winners
To Appear at Game
DOROTHY HABEL
Chairman of Dad’s Day
Ducks and Dads Dine
In Sub-Committee Room
Regretting- the lack of suit
able campus facilities, Dads’
Day Chairman Dorothy Habel
announced that 'only sub-com
mittee rooms are available for
luncheon seating Saturday.
The main banquet room has
been sold out.
A public address system
will he set up so that those
sitting in the sub-committee
rooms may bear the proceed
ings though unable to see
them.
The luncheon is being held
in the Eugene hotel, since the
campus has no location which
could be used conveniently for
a large luncheon.
“This is another example
when a student union building
could be called an essential,”
declared Miss Habel. “If there
were a student union at Ore
gon, all the dads and their
sons and daughters could be
easily accommodated.

Students’ Rights Reasserted
In Assembly Congress Discussion
One of the smallest assembly
audiences of the year Thursday
heard members of the University
congress committee, which framed
the proposed new ASUO consti
tution and presented it to the stu
dent body this week, explain the
shortcomings of the present gov
ernmental set-up and reaffirm the
right of University students to or
ganize and operate without ad
ministratiV' pressure their own
government.
The greatest weakness of the
present system of student govern
ment is the lack of student voice,
asserted Jack Craig, ASUO vice
president, at the assembly at Mc
Arthur court. Believing that the
proposed student congress will
serve to eliminate the ill feeling
between Greeks and Independents
which is so prominent in most
student governmental functions,
Craig outlined the plan as it now
stands.
Purpose of the assembly was to
obtain student opinion on the Uni
versity congress and reactions to
the principles as drawn up by
members of the committee which
drafted the constitution, he said.
According to this new system
there would be proportionate rep
resentation from each living or
ganization. As an example, Craig
explained that a Greek house of
from 26 to 50 members would have
one representative to the Congress
whereas some of the larger dormi
tories like Susan Campbell, hous
ing more than 76 students, would !
have two representatives and the
still larger units would have three.
New Organizations
“Provision is made for students
unaffiliated with any campus
living organization in that they
may join Independent groups such
as Orides or Yeomen for the pur
pose of having a voice in the gov
ernment.” Craig also said that new
organizations with a minimum of
26 members could be formed in
order to obtain representation.
Only other requirement governing
these groups would be that they
must meet at least once a month.
As explained by Craig, the Con
gress would be representing al
most equally both the existing
political parties on the campus.

editor of the Emerald and also a
member of the committee, out
