Duck Preview RSVP's Flood Campus Mail xne campus man Dag has bulged during the past week with replies from Oregon high school seniors who have been invited to Duck Preview weekend Apr. 14-16. Between 800 and 900 visitors are expected to hit the campus weekend after this, and the whole picture of the weekend, explained yesterday at a meeting of the weekend committee, is somewhat as follows: Housing: Preference lists from fraternities, sororities, and women’s co-operatives have been compiled from a complete list of all seniors who have indicated they will at tend the weekend. These lists indicate which high schoolers the various organizations would like to have stay with them. Where the same name appears on more than one preference list, a drawing will determine where the particular high-schooler will be housed; otherwise they will be as signed according to the preference of the living organizations. Students who indicated they wished dormitory housing were as signed directly to John Straub Hall for the boys, and Hendricks and Carson for the girls. Seniors who show up without having mailed in an acceptance will be assigned one at a time on an alphabetical basis by living organ izations, to housing of the general type they prefer. (The high school students are given preference only between fraternities and sororities, cooperatives, and dorms.) All the visitors must register to take part in any of the weekend’s activities. Registration: 4 to 9 p. m. Friday and 9 to 12 noon Saturday at John son Hall. It’s imperative that all the high-schoolers go through this step, where they will be notified of housing assignment, given tickets for the events of the weekend, and relieved of $2 registration fee. All living organizations must have a representative at the reg istration place during the above hours to take care of the visitors who will stay with their respective groups. Events: These will include the All-campus Vodvil Friday night, assembly at 10 a. m. Saturday, tours of the Student Union build ing and Carson Hall Saturday morning, picnic luncheon—weather permitting—Saturday noon on the new campus, baseball game and amphibian water show that after noon, all-campus date dance Sat urday night in Gerlinger annex, and exchange dinners with other living groups Sunday at 1 p. m.
