The dance haa formerly been held on Satur day nights. According to John Talbot and Bonnie Blrkemeler, co-chairmen for the dance, the reason for the change, suggested by the Portland Mothers club, la so more mothers will be able to hear the all-campus sing. The sing was previously held on Friday night, before many of the mothers arrived on campus for the Mothers weekend festivities held at the same time. Feature of the prom will be the coronation of the queen, tapping of new' members for Druids, jun ior men's honorary, and the award ing of the Gerllnger and Koyle cups to the outstanding junior woman and man, respectively. Ticket sales under the chair manship of lorn Wrlghtson, will be handled differently this year. Instead of having house represen tatives sell them in their living organizations, a group of junior class salesmen will bo selected to handle sales. Negotiations for the band for the dance are now under way. Prior to 1942, the dance was held on Friday night with the canoe fete on Saturday night. The all-campus sing then replaced the fete and the dance was moved up to Saturday.

But NOT a Hotel A man evidently mistook the Car»on hall lobby for a hotel lobby Wednesday evening as he sauntered In, picked a soft dav enport, lay down and went to sleep. Ills peaceful state was short lived, however, as two of the dormitory’s residents disturbed him and engaged him in conver sation. A short time later he quietly left. 'Help Week'Plea Of IFC Editor “Our job ia being constructive to the University in building men and women," Clyde Johnson, na tional secretary of Phi Kappa .Sigma and editor of the Inter Fraternity council Research and Advisory board bulletin, told the second annual dinner meeting of Inter-Fraternity council and Pan Hellenic Wednesday. Johnson, who was introduced by Donald DuShane, director of stu dent affairs, said that during the past year the fraternities have re ceived “good" publicity on the ideu of changing "Hell week" to "Help week,” He said that this is the "first 1 enl chance" the fra ternities have had to do something •about "Hell week." "We have legislated against it . i . but we haven't gotten down to the ’grass roots' before,” he said. He urged that Oregon fraternities pick up the idea and help the “na tionwide movement." "The chapter is the ideal place to practice the skills of good cit izenship," Johnson said, stressing the important part fraternities and sororities have preparing men and women to play the full role of citi zenship and to act as leaders in de mocracy.

One major change in this year's 'Either It's an Outrage, or the Man's □ Genius' Art Student Toils Atop 12-foot Dolly To Complete Mural in Union Lobby . "What is it a wiring system? ... a map of the campus?” "I hope it isn't permanent!” The objects of these comments? It's the new mural being painted in the lobby of the Student Union. Interviewed by a reporter atop a 12-root high “dolly” in the . SU lobby, the 1 artist of the ’ mural readily contributed in formation about his creation for the benefit of ev eryone who has puzzled over its meaning. The Artist Painter of the mural depicting the “spirit of the Pacific North west region” is Don Stevenson, a ' graduate student in the UO art school. Says of his work, "I felt * that by having a mural of this sort, it would encourage a healthy . interest in both the art itself and in the subtle interpretation of the region.” Stevenson, commissioned by the Student Union, is doing the mural ' us a terminal project towards his master’s degree in art. The mural is based principally on primitive Indian art of the Northwest. While only in gray and white at present, the completed work will be in a full range of color. Covering part of one wall, it measures 7 by 40 feet. Originally planning to put the mural on wood panels to be mounted on the wall, Stevenson is now painting the design on the wall. The Objects Interwoven into the design are objects of Indian culture. Steven son has drawn upon his research into Indian art in Canadian and Oregon museums. In the complet ed mural, masks, faces and carv ing designs will be apparent. The actual painting of the mural will take two months to finish, and Stevenson hopes to complete it near the end of May. He said that, in addition to this time, the design itself has taken a year to evolve. There's a Iteason The walls in the Student Union lobby were purposefully left blank for future student murals. Steven son, after his mural design had been approved by a board of five persons, was commissioned to pajpt the mural in the lobby. The "non-objectivity" of the painting is planned to tic with the archi toctviral style of the Student Union building. Murals don’t take tip all‘Stev enson’s time. He has done portrait work professionally, and enjoys doing canvases, gouache (a form of tempera and water color paint ings), easels, as well as murals and some sculpture. Stevenson has entered some of his paintings in various shows — Oregon Artists and Portland shows. While a senior at Univer sity of Illinois, he took a prize in painting. A 1950 graduate fiom the Uni versity of Illinois, Stevenson has been doing post-graduate work at Oregon for two years. He will re ceive his master's degree this .June. Future Plans Stevenson’s plans after June are in, the field o' painting, and pos sibly include travel to New York, San Francisco, or South America for further work. "I don’t con sider myself a painter yet. In six years, you just begin to scratch the surface.” Perhaps the comment made by a woman attending the Matrix dinner Tuesday night express the mixed emotions concerning the SU’s new mural and its artist “Either this is an outrage, or that man’s a genius.” Duck Preview program is the r time of the exchange dinner? among the living organizations. This year it was decided to have the dinners from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday rather than on Sunday, j The reason for the change is! that a large number of the high ' school seniors live quite a distance j from Eugene and many of them i have left the campus by Sunday | afternoon. Furthermore, it was: felt by the Duck Preview com-! mittee that the senior s should! spend all of their last day on1 campus in the living organization i where they have stayed during the 1 weekend, so that they will have! ample time to prepare for leaving. • . Saturday Night Dance From S p.m. to 12 midnight on Saturday night a dance will be held for the whole campus ard the high school guests in the Student; Union ballroom. On Sunday, the visitors may go j to the church of their choice in the morning and dinners will be served in the living organizations j at 1 p.m. If there are any other activities j going on during the weekend j which could be listed on the Duck i Preview program, those in charge ! of these events hav be en request- ' ed by the committee to contact Carolyn Silva, program chairman, at Kappa Alpha Theta. Preference lists for high s r,ool seniors were turned in by the liv mg organizations last week. The results of the drawings were issued Thursday to women’s or ganizations and on Fi*iday men i will be notified by telephone . Sunrise Service Plans Completed The annual community Easter sunrise service will begin at 6:30 a m. Sunday in McArthur Court. Tne Easter message will to® given bv Oregon State Senator Phihp S. Hitchcock of Klamath Falls, vice-president of the Oregon Council of Churches.

Jones, dean of ad i PIfasc tun; !o ftige seven) = Hie faster ^toru "And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; lor they know not what they do.’’ "Luke 23^34 i*r Q| FTF.R being acquited by the judges of Israel, Jesus’ A*enemies insisted that he be taken to Pilate for trial. Pilate did not want to have anything to do witli the case so lie asked the mobs who had been incited bv the jiharasees which man they would rather have turned loose, Jesus or Barabbas, a revolutionist. The crowd asked for Barabbas and Jesus was legally condemned to be crucified. The greatest humiliation ever inflicted on a man of that time was given to Jesus, for he had to carry Hi- own cross to Calvary hill. At high noon workmen arranged the crosses on the ground, and the three condemned prisoners stood together—Dvsmas and fiestas, two thieves, and Jesus. As they were being nailed to the cross few of tire thousands of onlookers noticed the dark ring forming around the lower part of the skv. \\ ritten above the cross of Christ in three languages was "Jesus of Xasareth. the King of the lews!" As the crowd on Calvary gathered, Jesus raised his face and murmured to the sky : “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." As the storm gathered ami the sky was getting darker and murkier by the minute, the soldiers and onlookers taunted Jesus, but His friends mourned His torture and death. Afterward men told strange stories about the happenings on April 7. A.D. eO—how the veil of the Temple was torn into two pieces although no man's had touched it—how the earth shook and rocks tumbled from the hillside. Kverything that had been prophesied in the scripture hundreds of years before had come to pass this day and many were convinced that they had truly crucified the Sen of Cod.
