Millrace Fill Continues
Ked Lross
Campaign
This Week
Officially underway since yes
terday, the Red Cross campus drive
will furnish much activity during
this week, promised Sally Waller.
Today, student luncheon and din
ner speakers will appear at living
organizations.
Contributions may be made to
booths in the Co-op and to repre
sentatives in each student living
organization.
All Students Included
Off-campus students are being
reached through special effort this
year, said Miss Waller. Attempts
will be made also to show veterans
the benefits they may receive
through the Red Cross.
Entertainment plans are in pro
gress for a program in front of the
library Friday, according to pro
motion chairman, Norm Morrison.
Nationally, the drive begins to
day.
No Goal as Yet
No definite goal has been set for
1949 campus Red Cross drive but
Drive Chairman Sally Waller said
yesterday that in consideration of
benefits received by University stu
dents there should be 100 per cent
contribution.
Campus aid is primarily to veter
ans. Red Cross chapter home ser
vice workers assisted veterans in
countless problems last year from
emergency financial aid for food
and rent to counseling and guid
ance, according to Mrs. Cora Pirtle,
director of the Lane County chap
ter.
The girls who “posed pretty”
for photographer Kirk Braun
are Carol Irvine and Dulcy
Renne. Both girls live at Susan
Campbell hall.
Race Association
To Gather Tonight
Kven as the luigene Register-Guard carried news of a. “gen
tlctaan s agreement concerning the tilling of the millrace by
Koke-Chapman company, dirt was being dumped into the race
adjacent to the company’s property on Broadway avenue.
Keith hennell, millrace association officer, had "no comment”
to make on the continued tilling of the race by the company,
winch plans eventually to build
on the site.
Although Koke-C h a p in a n
plans to run a pipe under the till,
thereby enabling millrace wat
ers to pass, ASL'O President
Bob Allen has stated that " if Koke
Chapman isn’t stopped, then other
property owners up and down the
Millrace will also be able to fill in.”
Allen pointed out that not all prop
erty owners may put pipes under
their fills, as Koke-Chapman has
done, which would definitely put a
stop to restoration plans.
Elaborating on his “no com
ment,” Fennell ventured that there
may be news later in the week. As
sociation officers will meet tonight
to discuss the situation.
