To Change Or Not to Change?
A proposal to move up the date of Junior Weekend and Moth
er’s Day one full week so it will no longer coincide with national
Mothers’ day is on the agenda for the Student Affairs Committee
meeting this afternoon.
The proposed change would move the traditional spring term
Observance from May 7, 8 and 9 to May 14, 15 and 16.
Faculty members of Student Affairs spent the last two weeks
polling various campus groups for student reaction to the
change. Results: Heads of House, the Student Union board and
1;he house social chairmen, both men and women, cast almost un
animous votes in favor of changing the date. When the sugges
tion went to the ASUO Senate, the members voted against the
change.
What are the pro and con issues involved ni this change
of dates?
The honored guests of the week-end—Oregon Mothers—first
Suggested the switch through their executive council. Seems
that some mothers would likt to be home witn the rest of the
family for national Mothers’ Day. The present arrangement
allows most mothers a sometimes harried week-end with only
one member of the family.
Another pleasant thought, switching dates might confuse the
weather prophets enough to we’d have fair skies for the week
end’s big events.
Taking a closer look at the planned social calendar, we be
gin to see some indication of why house officers voted in favor
of the proposal. Duck Preview, with the Vaudeville, enter
taining high school guests and WSSF drive climaxe, is slated
for April 23 and 24.
Leaving the date as scheduled allows two weeks between the
biggest events of spring term. Those two weeks are naturally
crammed with work on the all-campus sing and plans for house
floats. The proposed change would lengthen the recovery and
recuperation period to three weeks.
Heading opposition arguments is the natural tendency to balk
at a change in tradition. Mothers’ Day has for years been the
time for the big week-end and it’s hard to accept a change.
We’ve also heard that it’s a little unfair to a student who is an
only child and would like his mother on campus for the national
holiday.
It might possibly take a little of the meaning out of the ob
servance of Mother’s Day in conjunction with Junior Week
end if the national observance and campus celebration remain
.so close, chronologically speaking.
Even with the strong pull of sentiment and tradition, the
move appears to be a step towards a more organized and well
Spaced program of activities for spring term.
Granted that there will be no closed-door revelations to the
decideding board, it seems now a clear-cut case of student opin
ion asking that Student Affairs vote in favor of change.—(E.S.)

"These tribes (Aluets and Eski

The influence of the Russian
