Negotiations
Results of the ASUO millrace
committee’s drive for breakage
fee pledge cards indicate success
in meeting the $3500 quota, ac
cording to Warren Davis, drive
chairman.
Approximately 1400 University
students signed cards pledging
their breakage fees to the millrace
fund. If all these students had $5
in their deposit, a total of $7000
would have been pledged. However,
many of the deposits will have
been depleted by the end of the
year.
“We can’t tell how much money
we have until the end of the year,”
explained Davis, “but I feel con
fident that we will get at least
$3500 from the breakage fees.”
With the end of the drive, the
students of the University have
fulfilled their pledge to the mill
race drive. In addition, living or
ganizations on the millrace will
donate funds.
Still to be collected is a sum of
$4000 pledged by alumni of the
University of Oregon.
Meanwhile, an all-city drive for
millrace funds is being postponed
until negotiations with the state
highway department have ended,
according to Dr. M. V. Walker,
president of the Millrace associa
tion.
The highway department is con
sidering the possibility of taking
part of the responsibility of land
scaping the eastern approach to
Eugene. The balance of the land
scape project will be handled by
the Eugene Gateways association,
which is working with the Mill
race group.
When the Gateways association
has reached an agreement with
the highway department, it will
join in the millrace drive. Result
ant funds will be used both for
millrace restoration and the es
tablishment of a scenic entrance
into Eugene.
“The Gateways group has esti
mated that it will need between
four and eight thousand dollars,”
stated Dr. Walker. “This amount
will be added to the quota set by
the Millrace Park association.”
Dr. Walker expressed the belief
that the drive will take place in
the near futuree. Bill Tugman of
the Eugene Register-Guard is
handling negotiations with the
highway department.
'49 Yearbook Late
Strike Forces Publication Delay,
Oregcina Distribution by Mail
Oreganas will not be distributed until after graduation.
Announcement was made yesterday by Dick Williams, edu
cational activities manager, that because of a Portland printers’
strike the 1949 year book will probably not be completed until
late June or early July.
Tentative plans include setting up central distribution points
where Eugene and Portland student can pick up the books.
Other students will receive their Oreganas by mail collect.
The labor strike went into effect when the Oreganas were
within six or eight dayS of completion, Williams said. The year
books have now been sent to Los Angeles to be finished.
“We are sorry that the Oregana will not be on time but there
is no alternative. The staff has no control over the labor situa
tion in Portland," Williams commented.
Orchesis Shows Skill
In Modem Dance
Dancing skill will be displayed by members of Junior and
Senior Orchesis, University modern dance honorary, in a con
cert of 13 different modern dances tonight in the Gerlinger hall
dance room at 8 p. m.
Tickets for the colorful and different performance may be ob
tained at 60 cents at the door tonight, in the women's physi
cal education office in Gerlinger hall during the day, or from
members of Orchesis.
Members of the junior group
will dance two of the 13 num
bers, “Square Dance” and “Nur
sery Rhymes.” The former is
not actually a square dance, but
the step patterns, gyrations, and
movement of the dancers in hill
billy fashion are similar to those
qualities of movement found in a
square dance.
“Nursery Rhymes” depicts three
different rhymes. Huge, awkward
movements are found in “Humpty
Dumpty,” while lightness and gid
diness are emphasized in “Hey Did
dle Diddle.’’The final section of the
dance takes the form of a lullabye
danced to “Child's Prayer—Now I
Lay Me Down to Sleep.”
Among the numbers danced by
the senior groups are “Cathedral,”
“Dance of Disaster,” “Man and his
Conscience,” “Strike”, and “Berg
omask.”
The majority of the dances were
choreographed by the student dan
cers themselves. Two, “Lullabye”
and “Bergomask,” were presented
in the 1946 spectacle production of
“Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
“Strike,” one of the most out
standing of the senior dances, was
presented by the more advanced
group on May 16 at the dance sec
tion meeting of the Northwest Dis
trict Association for health, physi
cal education and recreation in
Portland.
University Student James Bull
ard composed and will play most of
the accompanying music. Records
will accompany the remaining dan
ces.
Prospective members of Orche
sis, chosen from service courses in
physical education, are first taken
into Junior Orchesis where they
learn fundamental dance techniq
ues and movements. When they
attain a marked degree of skill
they are initiated into the more se
lect group of Senior Orchesis.

The play, to be presented as part

The “Mayor” was written by the

Profit From
Veterans Sales
Kept for Slump
Ten per cent will he the Uni
versity Cooperative store’s pa
tronage refund to members this
year, it was decided at a recent
board meeting. The rebate will
he paid in cash by June 13.
Members must turn in their
cash register receipts, in the green
and cream-colored envelope they
received when they paid their mem
bership fee, by May 31. Students
should total their receipts on the
space provided on the outside of the
envelope. Those who have lost their
folders may pick up another at the
Co-op.
Acceptible receipts are those
which were saved from July 1, 19*18,
to date.
According to Co-op board offi
cials, this year’s ten per cent return
of profits amounts approximately
in dollars to the profit on sales to
non-veteran students. The veteran
profit is being held in reserve for a
possible decline in business during
the next few years.
Last day to join the Co-op is
June 1, Manager G. L. Henson said,
and the membership fee of one dol
lar will be returned with the pat
ronage refund.
The patronage refund last year
also was ten per cent.
