were elected by the ASUO senate
Thursday night to fill *the senior
and sophomore vacancies, respec
tively, of that group. Dorothy
Kopp and Bob Pollock were chos
en as co-chairmen of Homecom
ing, following interviews which
took up a good share of the 3%
hour meeting.
In other business, the senate:
1. Heard a complete report on
the present state of the Millrace
and what can and cannot be done
about it from E. G. Ebbighausen,
faculty member of the group.
2. Approved a recommendation
by Student Union Director Dick
Williams that $1000 in a memor
ial plaque fund be put in a fund
to purchase chimes for the cam
pus.
3. Declared a graduate student
vacancy on the senate and called
for petitions for the spot.

-Petitions Asked
To Fill Vacancy
Graduate students may submit
petitions for membership on the'
ASUO senate, it was decided at
Thursday night's senate meeting. ;
The decision came after discus-'
sion of how the requirements of
the amendment providing for a
graduate student representative on
the body W’ere to be met. (The
amendment was approved by the
student body in the general elec
tions last spring.)
k The amendment states: There
► shall be one graduate student, a
voting member of the senate,
k elected by the graduate students j
► during the school year.
IThe senate members questioned
whether this meant they should
f call an election this fall or de
* clare the spot vacant and call
I for petitions. In the latter case,
the selection of the new member
is done by the senate.
It was ASUO Vice Pres. Don
' Collin s opinion that the spot was
■ technically a vacancy and peti
i tions should be called for.
Deadline for the petitions will
, be announced later and the candi
’ dates for the post are to be inter
viewed at the next senate meeting,
Oct. 15.
board finances, a short orienta
tion report by Judy McLoughlin
and approved the ASUO budget.
Schmidt was selected for senior
representative over Dick Hollen
beck. Rice won the nod for the
sophomore vacancy over nine oth
er petitioners. The other petition
ers for Homecoming chairman
were Milan Foster, whose peti
tion was accepted by the senate
late and Russell Cowell and Rob
ert Kelly who also petitioned as
co-chairmen.
Ebbighausen’s report was the
result of investigation during the
past summer by himself and Dick
Williams who took a personal tour
of the entire length of the 'Race.
He stated that as things stand, the
lower end of the waterway (from
the highway past the Millrace
houses to the outlet) cannot be
changed, the size of the outlet
pipe under the highway being too
small to allow a faster flow of
water.
However, he was very optimis
tic about the'chances for improv
ing the ’Race and its flow from its
intake point to where it runs un
der the highway near the 11th St.
intersection. J. O. Lindstrom,
University business manager, has
$5,000 which is being used now to
begin preliminary work on a park
on the banks of the ’Race across
from the physical plant. The area
is now being graded, and construc
tion of a cement sidewalk on the
highway above the area has be
gun. The money must be spent
by July 1, 1954, Ebbighausen
stated.
Approval of the proposition for
campus chimes came after discus
sion of whether the money might
be used for something else and of
where the chimes would be placed.
Money for the chimes would come
from a fund set up several years
ago for veterans’ scholarships and
not used because of G.I. bill of
rights aid. That fund now con
tains $1,900 and would need $700
more to take care of purchase
and installation of the chimes.
A question was raised con
cerning the placement of the
chimes as some felt the SU was
not appropriate. Sally Hayden,
who is also president of the Uni
versity Religious council said that
group had done some work toward
plans for a campus chapel, in
which, if built, the chimes could
be placed. Williams said that if
the chimes were installed this year
in the SU, they could be moved
without much trouble to a chapel
if such were built.
| Art Museum Hours Changed;
; Japanese Prints on Exhibition
■ The art museum, which had pre
l viously been open for only two
^ hours a day, opened on an ex
tended schedule Thursday, ac
k '■ording to Wallace Baldinger,
L ,w curator of the museum.
^ ' Both the galleries and the li
brary of the building will be op
ened, Baldinger said, and the new
hours will be from 1 to 5 p.m.
I Saturday and Sunday, and from 7
to 10 p.m. Monday through Thurs
day.
' A special exhibition of Japanese
. prints will be featured in the mez
zanine gallery, commemorating
the centennial of Matthew Perry’s
expedition to negotiate a treaty
. between the United States and
r Japan.
| Mrs. Gertrude Ross Warner do
’ nated the collection to the Uni
versity in 1921 as a memorial to
her husband. The collection, which
. is composed of prints reflecting
the barbarious impact of Western
civilization upon Japan, was start
ed by Major and Mrs. Warner,
while they were living in Shang
hai.
Mrs. Mabel Garner, the retiring
curator of the museum, was a
close friend of Mrs. Warner, and
has represented her as caretaker
of the collection. Mrs. Garner’s
resignation will be effective Nov.
1.
Speaking of his long-range plans
for the museum, Baldinger said,
“We hope to make the program
of the museum a means by which
to arouse popular interest and
enthusiasm for oriental art. We
propose to remain faithful to the
spirit of Mrs. Warner’s gift, which
stresses the purpose of the col
lection, in furthering good will and
understanding between the peoples
of America and the Far East.”

Oregon’s spirited football team
ran through their final important
work-out Thursday afternoon be
fore Saturday’s all-important con
test with the vaunted UCLA.
Bruins on Hayward field.
Hoping to have his charges in
top shape by game time, Coach
Len Casanova emphasized punt
ing and sharpening offensive plays
in the Thursday drill.
It appears likely that Satur
day's tussle will be played in the
mud. This could make punting a
very important aspect of tbe ■
game. With this thought in mind
Casanova had his prize quarter
back, George Shaw, practicing for
some fifteen minutes on his punt
ing. After the punting drill the
Ducks spent much time in running
througlf their planned offensive
maneuvers for the encounter.

Carole Hansen, Donna Aayis,
Adrienne McRae, Marcia Cook,
Rosalie Todd, Nan Hagedom,
Herb West, Bill Hettick, Tom
Gaines, Dick Jannic and Lenr.
The backfield timing has been,
thrown off somewhat by the wet
weather but backfieldmen Dick
James, Farrell Albright, and Ted
Anderson seemed to be running
quite well despite the slick going.
If the Webfoots are able to con
dition their offense to the muddy
field by Saturday afternoon they
could very easily give the highly
favored Uclans a rugged battle.
Red Sanders’ Bruins will no
doubt have a tough time adjust
ing to the wet turf and if Oregon
can get their attack clicking early
in the game a tremendous upset
is possible.
Before this young football sea
son got underway some two weeks
ago Oregon was conceded little
chance of staying anywhere close
to UCLA in this game. But in
