Ducks Lead Busy Activity Lite; Here's the Straight Dope for Pop By MARJORY BUSH Today Dad is top man at Ore gon, with all activities planned just for him. Dad is having a chance to see the campus in action—the new buildings, a student-arranged luncheon and tour, and the Ore gon-Washing ton basketball game. However, throughout the year the U. of O. is busy, and in case Dad would like to know' what goes on at school the other nine months, this should give some answers. Major Events Two major events of the year arc Homecoming during fall term, and Junior Weekend spring term. Homecoming has just about every thing in the books, with alumni and friends being welcomed with the noise parade, frosh bonfire, sign contest, dance, and big foot ball game. Junior Weekend, held in May, typifies the campus in the longed for spring. Highlights are the float parade, Junior Prom, all campus sing, luncheon, and frosh soph tug-of-war. The campus is kept buzzing with games, school and house dances, MON.—TUE.—WED.

Campus branches of the YWCA and YMCA sponsor discussions and social activities to make for a well-rounded program. Fun—And Work It’s easy to see what a tremen dous amount of fun—and work, college can be. It takes organiza tion, throughout the school, classes and clubs to produce this program of wide-scale events. University and class officers have much of this responsibility. The executive council of the ASUO, representing the two po litical parties at Oregon, the As sociated Greek Students and the United Student’s Association, tackles the problems of University scope. * Council Duties Included here are: directing the student traffic court started last fall, studying such problems as the development of the Millrace, fac ulty rating program, and effective use of the student union. Class affairs, such as the Sopho more Whiskerino, Junior Week end, and Senior Ball are supervised by class officers. Working under all are the end less committees which actually get the job done—writing invitations, decorating, cleaning-up. But officers and committees would often be lost without the service organizations on the cam pus. Among these are Phi Theta Upsilon and Kwaraa, junior and sophomore women’s honoraries, that help with everything from registering for Dads' Day to mov ing rushees during rush week. Sophomore men’s honorary, Skull and Dagger, and Druids, for jun ior men, also perform various serv ices for the University. Publications Helping to co-ordinate the cam pus is the Oregon Daily Emerald, published five times per week by the ASUO. The other chief campus publication, The Oregana, pictures life at Oregon during the year in its annual publication. Especially for the alumni is the magazine Old Oregon, published monthly. As Dad can see, all these activi ties, plus classes and study hours, produce some mighty busy Ducks.

From there on in, with the help of the two minute rule, the Ducks went into their final 57-49 win. Husky Attacks Stilled In the first half, when Warren’s collapsing-man-to-man defense stopped the usual Washington of fense which features all the play from the guards, McClarney tried two other forms of attack. But Honest John’s defense, on which he drilled his men all week, stopped every mode of Washington scoring punch. That, plus the red hot ability of the Ducks to hit the hemp, and their power under the backboards, spelled victory. The two clubs meet again tonight in McArthur Court at 8 o’clock. From Endicott’s .
