Police Chief Says 'No Soap’, Then Relents on Parade Plan une or Junior Weekend's most spectacular events tattered on the cliff of oblivion for several hours Tuesday afternoon when Richard ^Savinar, float committee chairman, learned that Police Chief Pittenger had put a “no soap” stamp on the plans for the downtown parade scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Saturday, the chief said, was one of the busiest days of the week and four o’clock,its busiest hour. Several committee members had tried earlier to contact the police department head, but he had been away on business and now, less than two weeks before highlight of all spring term activity, the mental stimulation of various and sundry float chairmen, the supplies and decorations purchased by the different organizations, the cups, the judges, and the previous pub licity, all seemed to no avail. Savinar, the personification of despondency, chewed several No. 4 pencils into nothingness and tore out several acres of hair before a ray of sunlight finally entered ^Jiis world of darkness. Marilyn Sage and Tom Kay, Junior Week end co-chairmen, accompanied the Unhappy float committee head on a visit to the offices of Virgil Earl, dean of men. Earl, after listening to the long tale of woe, contacted City Man ager Deene Seeger, who in turn spoke to Police Chief Pittenger. After a brief explanation the “Go Ahead” signal was on again with the stipulation that the parade may not pass any one point for more than a 20-minute period. PETE THE COP SAYS: a/ ©'— ‘‘Run, don’t walk to get your white Palm Beach dinner jacket for the spring formal. Just ar rived.” MORRISON HENNING 1022 Willamette General plans for the parade are proceeding smoothly and Savinar announced that, barring any other unexpected occurrences, a meeting of all house float representatives will be held early next week to co-ordinate the details and orga nization of the parade. The place and time will be announced later in the Emerald. Four of the judges who will de termine which organizations will receive the twin loving cups will be Mrs. H. Boyd, president of the Eugene Mothers’ club, Golda Wick ham, dean of women, Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, and Richard Savinar. Several of the house teams have not turned in their themes and Savinar warned that unless they are turned in at the meeting the teams will be disqualified. The sug gestions which have been accepted are of a wide and original variety and the committee chairman ex pects this year’s parade to be one of the most colorful events to be held on the campus in several years. The positions which the differ ent teams will take in the parade will be determined at a drawing which will be held at the meeting of the representatives. All representatives should keep an accurate list of their expenses as a financial report must also be turned in at the meeting. If the exact figures are not available, an estimate may be submitted. The queen’s float in the parade this year will be constructed by the Druids, junior men’s honorary, and the color scheme has been planned to blend with the costumes of the court. Benny DiBenedetto and Gil Roberts are in charge of the arrangements. FAMINE MEAL (Continued from page one) * rate of about 3400 calories.
