The money was earmarked for the millrace property to develop the immediate area into a general recreational area for students. The money was not for the millrace it self, according to Dick Williams, educational activities manager. “The educational activities board recognizes and accepts its moral, obligation of developing the imme diate millrace area for canoe fetes and a general play area when wa ; ter is in the millrace and when it j is feasible to do so after the pro jected highway development is | completed," Williams said. I The funds are not leaving the board. They are staying in the hands of the board to furnish the Student Union when the building' is ready. When the millrace is ready for canoe fetes and recrea tional purposes, the educational ac tivities board will set aside funds for the necessary improvements, Williams said.

Petition forms may be picked up at either the dean of men’s or dean of women’s offices and must be turned in to Miss Fulmer by Oc tober 4. /More Spirit Noted Leaders of Oregon’s service honoraries were unanimous in the observation that this year’s incoming freshmen seem to have more of the Wcbfoot spirit than past classes. The organization heads a-so expressed a hope that this spirit would lead <o much greater stu dent support of the University and its athletic teams. Kwama President Biilijean RiethmiUer announced that pom poms would be on sale at the Co-op the rest of the week and at Hayward field before game time Saturday. She and Laura Orson, Phi Theta president, joined in urging all women students to wear the pom poms at all football games. Ed Dick, Older of the “O” president, asked that all men students wear rooters lids to the game. Ed Anderson, Skul. aril Dagger prexy, also stressed the wearing of rooters lids for a better appsar mg rooting section. It was also suggested that men students wear white shirts or white sweaters to the games. The men’s and women’s rooting sections will be segregated as in the past. “Pigging” (dating) at athletic events is definitely not on the approved tradition list.
