VOLUME L UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 194!) vi 'trRF'it ij•» Millrace Campaign Dates Set June 6-12 Announced As Tentative Days For All-City Drive Final all-city drive for mill race funds has been tentatively scheduled for June 6-12, accord ing to Bill Tugman of the Eu gene Register-Guard, who will head the campaign. “We are not yet fully orga nized,” stated Tughan, “but the quota for the drive has been set for $15,000. The millrace association needs about $6,000, with the rest going to the Gateways association.” Tugman further explained that the millrace group may not need all $6,000 if the University alumni make good their $4500 pledge. “However, we thought it would be best to get the cash on hand and start the work on restoration. In case the alumni do contribute, some of the funds donated by University students would be turned back, pos sibly to be used for student millrace developments.” Student Funds for Millrace No student money whatever is be ing used for the Gateways develop ment, according to Tugman. “I’ve heard that some students have been under the impression that their breakage fee pledges are be ing used for the Gateways project as well as millrace work,” he said. “This is not true.” “The Gateways association will use funds from the coming drive, as well as aid from the state high way department.” The highway de partment will landscape both sides ■>of the highway from Walnut Street east. Jure 15 Deadline June 15 has been set as the dead line for the accumulation of funds for both projects. “My information is that engineer ing work is proceeding on the pro ject,” said Tugman. “As soon as the engineering is done and the funds collected, contracts will be let for the work.” “The students have done their part—we'll do ours.” Meanwhile, the city council of Eugene has announced that four acres of land have been purchased at the head of millrace for conver sion into public land.

Fred explained that he has been living his part of Aubrey Piper in an almost alarmingly realistic fashion. “First,” he said, "the plot calls for Aubrey to play the ukelele— and strumming a uke is one of my hobbies. "Now, that isn't too unusual,” he continued, “but there’s more. "Aubrey is a very vain fellow and wears a wig because he is al most bald. Well—” Fred went on to relate that since he has recently planted his pin, he was due for a little trip to the Del ta Zeta house, courtesy of his Delt fraternity brothers. When the ap- ; pointed hour arrived, however, i Fred was nowhere to be found. ] Meanwhile, the cast and crew of i "The Show-Off,” assembled for re- !' hearsal, were amazed to see a 11 FRED SCHNEITER roung Amazon, clothed in a ban iana and a long coat and looking nuch like 6 foot 2 inch of lady coal niner, stealthiy enter the theater. Phe rehearsal proceeded as usual hat night—the cast was complete. But revenge came, as it must— in the form of a pig shave, which rendered Fred even more like Au brey Piper than he had been be fore. “As if that weren't enough,” Fred sighed, “I had the first auto accident of my life last week. “In the play, Aubrey runs down a traffic policeman and a trolley car in a borrowed automobile. Of course, I didn’t go that far,” he added, grinning. There is one encouraging aspect about the situation, though. At the show’s finale, Aubrey has just swung a big business deal and has raked in $100,000. Maybe coinci dence isn’t so bad! Show business is nothing new for Fred, who made his first pub lic appearance as a tap dancer at the age of four. “I progressed from that to- a dramatic role in ‘The Three Little Pigs’ in grammar school,” Fred said, “and since then, entertaining has been a part of my life.” Fred went to high school in San I (Please turn to page two) books at centrally located dis tribution points. Owners of the books will have to pay the postage, as agreed on the order cards sign ed : that it the ]c49 Oregana cannot be delivered on the campus due to circumstances beyond the control of cither party to this con tract, the book will be mailed (POSTAGE COLLECT) to the home address listed.” Since it has been discovered that sending the books by prepaid parcel post will save from 25 to 35 cents in COD fees, students will be asked to leave their correct mailing ad dresses at Johnson hall and at the same time pay their parcel post fee. They may thus receive their books without further payment when they are mailed out of Eu gene. The following parcel post rates apply for the seven pounds of Ore gana and mailing cover: local, 16c; zones 1 and 2, up to 150 miles, 25c; zone 3, 150 to 300 miles, 31c; zone 4, 300 to 600 miles, 41c; zone 5, 600 to 1000 miles, 51c; zone 6, 1000 to 1400 miles, 61c; zone 7, 1400-1800 miles, 74c; and zone 8, over 1800 miles, 87c. Most of Oregon is included in zones 1, 2, and 3; most of Idaho is in zone 4. Washington and Califor nia are in zones 3, 4, and 5; most of Nevada is in zone 4, and all areas east of Illinois are in zone 8. * ■* * Honoraries Will Aid Committee In Classrooms Members of the faculty rating committee are meeting this week with Phi Theta Upsilon, Alpha Phi Omega, and Druids to instruct members of the service honorariea in the administration of the fac ulty rating forms. A picked group of senior men will also aid the committee. A meeting will be held ne:<t Tuesday at 4 p.m. in 207 Chapman for all members of the honorariea. The rating committee will pass out procedure sheets and give lant minute instructions. It is impera tive that all members be present. The rating forms will be passed out during the first part of the hour in all classes on June 1 and 2. Laura Olso, committee chair man explained that if a. course is not rated it is because the profes sor did not request it. Any professor who wishes to be rated and is not sure that he is signed up is asked to submit the time and place of his classes and the number of students in them to the ASUO president's office in Emerald hall immediately. Classes which meet on both Wed nesday and Thursday will be rated on Thursday. The rating is voluntary and on ly the professor will see his own rating. The envelopes containing the ratings will be kept by the committee and returned to the professor after his finals have been given. A letter attached to each envelope will ask the profes sor for his criticism of the ques tions and procedure for the guid ance of next year’s committee. Headquarters during June 1 and 2 will be in the Old Oregon offices in Friendly hall. Those helping with the rating are asked to enter the offices through the door facing the parking lot. Members of the committee, who are working under the auspices of the ASUO executive council, are Laura Olson, chairman, Shirley Lukins, Olga Yevtich, Trudi Cher nis, Bobolee Brophy, Warren Web ster, Herb Kariel, and Bob Gof fard. The rating is being partially financed through a $100 donation from the senior class. Student Union Fire Draws*Many; Building Then Given Once-Over A small fire in a Student Union tool shed last night occasioned a mass sight-seeing tour of the semi completed Union building by sev eral hundred students. Sirens called the students from their books at about 7:30 p.m. when a tool chest in one of the small storage buildings caught fire. The flames were extinguished before they could spread to oil bar rels store outside the shed, and the mob of onlookers drifted into the Student Union to pass on the plumbing fixtures and to inspect the quality of construction. Damages sustained in the fire were on© pair of overalls with money in the pockets, and the tool chest.
