Weary and remorseful because of
the neglect shown the “Mighty O,”
which is situated up on Skinner’s
Peak, Skull & Dagger, the sopho
more men’s service honorary, an
nounced yesterday that they are
prepared to wipe the red stain
from the face of the “O” when they
give it a new dress of lemon yel
low Saturday morning with the aid
of male members of the freshman
class.
Since the return to the Univer
sity of Oregon campus by some
eight members of the 1943-44 chap
ter of the sophomore honorary, the
second year service organization
has been given needed impetus to
help the campus do things in the
traditional way. To initiate the
first-year men in Oregon customs,
volunteers from each of the men’s
living organiaztions will be asked
to assist in giving the University’s
most important cemented letter a
paint bath early this weekend.

Skull & Dagger, will contact liv
ing organization heads today for
their list of representatives. The
caravan which will transport the
artists to the peak will leave from
in front of Johnson hall early Sat
urday morning.
In answer to the challenge
thrown at .them late last weekend
by responsible University of Ore
gon leaders, Skull & Dagger is re
portedly on the way to win again
the name they had in pre-war
years as an organization great for
their service to the school and for
the help they gave in the inter
preting of Oregon customs. The
men who just recently returned to
the honorary from the wars are,
Douglas Fetch, Dan Mindolovich,

Student Resolutions
Discussed by Ducks
Interest Raised JJy All-Campus Assembly
Aids Pacific Northwest College Campaign
By LAURA OLSON
Student resolutions, which were drawn up April 5 and 6
at Reed college by 62 representatives from 31 colleges to lay
the basis to preserve peace, were discussed by a panel of Uni
versity students in yesterday’s assembly. The panel members,
Lois McConkey, Dorothy Bruhn, Lloyd Frese and Ted Hallock
discussed the resolutions and expalined their nurnoses to the
audience in McArthur court.
After each resolution had been
explained, time for questions from
the floor was given by the
moderator Charles Howard, pro
fessor of law. In this manner, the
panel members hoped to get some
definite ideas from University
students. Technical questions
which the panel members couldn't
answer were turned over to Victor
P. Morris, dean of the school of
business administration, whom
Howard described as "a walking
encyclopedia of international
affairs.”
The goal beyond the assemblies
and the radio and newspaper pub
licity which has been given to the
Northwest Pacific College Congress
is to arouse student interest in
the United Nations.
Trip to UN
A representative from each of
two colleges receiving the greatest
volume of student interest and
opinion in the shortest time will
be sent to New York to the United
Nations security council meeting.
One delegate will be chosen from
those with a larger enrollment.
Oregon's delegates to the Con
gres at Reed college were Lois
McConkey and Lloyd Frese.
Ballots
Ballots, furnished by the Port
land League of Women Voters,
were distributed to the assembly
goers. Each student receiving a
copy was able to vote for or
against the resolutions. Later this
week Skull and Dagger, sophomore
honorary for men, and Druids,
junior honorary for men, will dis
tribute ballots to members of
living organizations who were un
able to attend the assembly.
Resolutions covered at the as
sembly and their general explana
tion were:
Recommended for immediate
action by the nations of the world
were the following:
Court
1. That any nation which is
party to a dispute can bring the
dispute before the international
court and that the court’s decision
be final and binding on all parties.
“This will be important in case of
any disagreement between any
two nations in which a third is
involved,” Hallock said. “Minor
nations would have a more equal
chance of justice when the. argu
ment was with a more powerful
country,” he added.
2. Remove the veto power of
members of big five in any dis
pute to which a member is in
volved directly. According to

Plans for the dance were laid
early this week when it appeared
that there would be an empty date
on the social calendar. “The first
spring term following the war
should feature many social
events,” the co-chairmen stated
Thursday, “and we are attempting
to make it so.”

a dance by Sigma Delta Chi, men's
national professional journalism
honorary. These plans did not ma
terialize, however.

president, announced the cancella
tion of his society's plans Tuesday,
