UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENg, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1953
No. 4S
Diversion Method
Needed by Race
If the diversion wall that brings
water into the Millrace from the
Willamette river is ever washed
out, the Millrace is finished, unless
a new method is used to draw wat
er into it, Eugene city manager
Robert Finlayson told a group of
students and University officials
Wednesday night.
Finlayson and Dave Todd, who
headed last year’s Millrace clean
up committee, agreed that the
wall, which diverts water from
the river into the Millrace near
Judkins point is ‘’rotten" and
may go out at any time.
Cost Prohibitive
Finlayson stressed that the cost
of replacing the wall with a like
structure would be prohibitive, and
suggested that perhaps a battery
of pumps could be installed to
pump water out of the river into
the stream. Such a plan was part
of a report presented to the city
in November of 1948. The cost of
the pumps at that time, however,
was $24,200 and would be nearly
double that now.
E. G. Ebbighausen, associate
professor of physics and faculty
member of the ASUO senate re
jtorted that he had made a tour
of the Millrace course last sum
mer, and that there were several
bad spots in the upper part of the
Millrace.
He explained that "something
could be done with” the upper end
of the stream the part between1
its source near Judkins point and
'Defend Yourself
Dinner' Dute Set
The Tuesday night before
Thanksgiving, Nov. 24, has been
chosen as the date for the an
nual journalism family dinner this
year.
. The usual "come and defend
yourself—no one else will’’ pattern
of the dinner will hold. All jour
nalism and pre-journalism stu
dents are invited. Entertainment

Religious Group
Schedules Trip
Members of Christian House will
visit the children’s farm home in
Corvallie Saturday, leaving here at
12:30 p. m., according to Gennie
Eachus, chairman of the social ac
tion committee.
Cost of the trip will be $1, and
anyone interested, is invited to at
tend, .Miss Eachus said. Those in
terested should call Christian
House this week to sign up. The
group will have a waffle supper at
Christian house when they return
from Corvallis.
the Franklin blvd. bridge—if the
opening of the channel were en
larged and the stream bed cleaned.
Pipe Too Small
He commented that, at present,
there is only a 30-inch pipe lead
ing into the race from the river,
and that the channel has silted in
and trees are growing in the
stream bed.
Both senate members and the
city and University officials pres
ent agreed that the Millrace could
never be restored to what it once
was, but that it could be made
"many times better than it is
now."
The next meeting of the group
was set for Dec. 2, after Finlayson
requested more time to familiar-1
ize himself with the problem of
restoration.
Button Sales
Begin Friday
Homecoming button sales will
begin on campus Friday reports
Milan Foster, finance committee
head. Priced at ten cents for stu
dents, the pins sport a yellow duck
and the traditional slogan, “Beat
the Beavers.’’
Kwama and Phi Theta Upsilon,
women’s service honoraries, work
ing with sorority pledge classes,
will do the booth selling in the
Student Union and Co-op and with
the flying speeches Friday Mon
day and Tuesday.
Total sales goal has been set at
5000, with 2000 to be sold in the
campus campaign, headed by Don
na Anderson, and Jean Piercy.
Downtown selling, handled by
Jane Bergstrom's committee,
started along with sales at service
clubs by the Druids, led by Pete
Williams, and in Springfield,
where Phil Lynch is chairman of
sales.
Goals in these areas are 1500
downtown, 500 at the service clubs
and 300 in Springfield. Barbara
Williams, chairman of button
sales during alumnae registration,
hopes 300 more will be sold there.
In the public schools, where
sales are also starting today, Bud
Hinkson and his committee are
working to sell 400 buttons.
The annual sale of Homecoming
buttons provides the main source
of revenue for Homecoming week
end except for the dance and bar
becue luncheon.
Annual Homecoming Lunch
Ticket Sale Set Wednesday
Tickets for the annual 'Home
coming luncheon, to be held Nov.
21, will go on sale Wednesday in
the Co-op and Student Union,
Germaine LaMarche, committee
chairman, announced today.
The luncheon will consist of bar
becued beef sandwiches, potato
salad, relishes, layer cake, ice
cream and coffee or milk. Five
hundred places are available. It
will be held in the SU ballroom at

the O and for the reunions of the
classes of ’41, ’42, and >43.
All students and alumni are in

Homecoming's
Usual Bonfire
Is Cancelled
The traditional bonfire will not
be included in this year’s Home
coming celebration, Bob Kelly,
bonfire chairman, revealed Tues
day.
The only available location this
year would have been the former
Condon school site, an empty lot
two blocks east of Hayward field.
When neighbors complained of a
fire hazard, Eugene Fire Marshall
overruled the location.
Once held on Amazon Flats, the
fire had to be moved with the
construction of the new Eugene
High school and the physical ed
ucation field was chosen.
After one fire, the physical ed
ucation department prohibited the
use of the field, because of damage
to the turf.
The old Condon School site has
been used for two years, and its
overruling leaves no available
place for the fire.
According to Donald DuShane,
director of student affairs, the
Homecoming committee last year
felt that too many activities were
crammed into the one week.

Counsel in Court
Denied to Students
J. Kelly Farris, senior in law,
was denied the right to represent
14 students who had requested his
counsel before the student traffic

not subject to the fine rules of pro
