Willamette, Tributaries
Crest, Flood Lowlands
The Willamette and its tribu
taries crested upstream early Mon
day above flood stage, but, accord
ing to army engineers, water con
tained in the new Cottage Grove
and Dorena dams kept the river
two feet below the level it would
have reached.
The flood crest at Eugene with
out the dams would have been 15.8
feet instead of 13.9. The engineers
added that the Lookout Point dam,
now under construction, would
have kept the crest to 9.5 feet.

Erich Mendelsohn,
Architect, To Speak
On Oregon Campus
An internationally known archi
tect, a pioneer in contemporary
style, will be the guest of the art
and archcitecture school next week
on campus.
He is Erich Mendelsohn, who is
being brought to the school as part
of its policy to bring outstanding
people in architecture to the cam
pus for lectures and criticism.
Mendelsohn will arrive Thurs., Jan.
29, and remain for the rest of the
week.
The architect will speak on ‘‘My
Contribution to Contemporary Ar
chitecture” Friday evening, Jan.
SO, at S p.m. in the auditorium of
the science building.
The Einstein Tower, designed by
Mendelsohn, brought him interna
tional fame in 1921. Previous to
this time he had made a series of
sketches which were widely ad
mired. Receiving his degree in ar
chitecture in 1912, Mendelsohn de
signed new stores for the Schocken
department store chain, which are
considered to be among his best
work for that period.
In the early ‘30’s, he went to
England and, in conjunction with
Serge Chermayeff, he designed the
DeLaWarr Pavilion at Bexhill.
Mendelsohn came to the United
States in 1941 and settled in San
Francisco. He has designed works
in St. Louis, Cleveland and San
Francisco since that time. Mendel
sohn is also the author of a num
ber of books and articles on mod
ern architecture.
STUDENTS TOO BUSY? .
Two Dances Cut
By Committee
The Mortar Board Ball and the Military Ball were abolished
by the student affairs committee Monday. The two major
dances will be eliminated beginning with the academic year
1953-54.
The decision was made after a student sub-committee rec
ommended a decrease of the number of student activities be
cause they acted as a drag
on a student’s time and en
ergy.”
A sub-committee recommen
dation that all class dances,
with the exception of the Jun
ior Prom, be eliminated in
favor of a single dance put on
by the combined classes was
referred back to the sub-commit
tee for further study.
Marian Briner, president of
Mortar Board, senior women’s
honorary, said Monday night that
a Mortar Board Ball is planned
for this year. Concerning elimin
ation of next year’s ball, Miss
Briner said:
Look First
“We had hoped that we might
look at the success of this year’s
ball before deciding. We wanted
to let next year’s group decide for
themselves.’ ’
Alan Babb, president of Scab
bard and Blade, military honorary
and sponsor of the Military Ball,
said Monday:
“Because of the lack of funds
this year I really had no argu
ment.” Babb said that the mili
tary honorary still desired to re
tain the privilege of holding the
dance
Tom Wrightson, senior class
president, and Bob Summers, jun
ior class president, expressed op
position to an all-class dance at
the student affairs committee
meeting.
Elimination of the Mortar Board
Ball and the Military Ball leaves
the number of major all-campus
dances at 4.
Splif-ballof Talk
Continues Today
The faculty-student constitution
al committee, meeting Monday to
consider the constitutionality of
the freshman "split ballot” meas
ures, adjourned until 3 p.m. today
without making a decision.
According to E. S. Wengert,
head of the political science de
partment and newly appointed
committee member, main reason
for postponement of a decision was
the absence of one of the commit
tee’s student members.
He said he expected a decision
would be reached today.
The committee is considering the
ballot measure at the request of
the ASUO senate, which passed
the ruling Nov. 6.
At that time Mrs. Helen Jackson
Frye, ASUO , vice-president and
head of the freshman election com
mittee, objected to the split ar
rangement, whereby the ballot is
divided into two sections, one for
candidates for president (with the
runner up to be vice-president)
and one for class representatives.
The minutes of the Nov. 6 sen
ate meeting state that she “pointed
out that the constitution stated
the candidate with the highest
number of votes will be president
and the candidate with the second
highest number vice president.” In
her opinion if the ballot were di
vided "we would be electing two
presidents and two vice presi
dents.”

UO Theater Holds
Tryouts for Comedy
Tryouts for Oliver Goldsmith's
comedy, “The Mistakes of a
Night”, will be held today at 4
p.m. and 7 p.m. in Villard 102, Mrs.
Ottilie Seybolt, director of the pro
duction, has announced.
The tryouts are open to all uni
versity students. Previous acting
experience is not essential.
The play, University theater’s
fourth production of the current
season, will be presented in the

the interior, who is now practicing
law.
“There is not a serious likelihood
of immediate deportation, however,
even if all appeals fail,” Joel V.
Berreman, professor of sociology
reported, adding that it is not the
policy of this country to deport a
person to a country that the U.S.
does not recognize.
If all appeals should fail Lee
would not be deported until such
time as the U.S. recognizes the
new regime in China, or until an
other regime is in power. “But this
leaves Dr. Lee in a state of some
uncertainty,” Berreman said.
There is also a long-range pos
sibility, Berreman said, in a bill
that is now being considered to
give political asylum to citizens of
unfriendly countries. This, how
ever, would involve quite a length
of time and would be uncertain.
“The Portland office has re
assured us,” he added, ’’that the
immigration service does not de
port Chinese citizens to Formosa.”
