Special Promotion Mgr.: Donna Hill To The Victor Congratulations, Bob.' We’ve disagreed with you in the past and perhaps we will again in the future. But we’d just like to say you do have the potential capacity and the approach to student government which could give you an outstanding administration. We feel confident that you will accept the responsibility of representing Oregon students. ^ Remember the campaign speeches and platforms next fall,' Bob. We hope to see your plan of utilizing the ASUO cabinet become an action. And we think your idea for bringing the sen ate and the campus closer together through a public relations chairman is excellent. You have demonstrated faith in student government, Bob.! We think it can be justified. Congratulations arid good luck. An Uninvited Guest Having a*house dance this weekend? Then you’d better check with the Eugene fire department. There’s a city ordinance in Eugene which specifies that all dec orations for this type of event must be fireproofed and approved by the fire department or the event could be cancelled. It’s a simple measure, however. Just call the fire department, 5-6231, and they’ll send somebody around to see if that crepe paper ceiling is a decoration or a death trap. A couple of gentlemen from the fire department stopped in to see us the other day to inform us that these precautions had been neglected at recent dances. And we’d like to remind those houses which will be having house dances during the remainder of the term of the importance of such preventive measures. It’s important because fire is nothing to play with or take chances on. And a lack of such preventive measures has been responsible for such holocausts as the Coconut Grove fire. In r flamable decorations added to the death total and destruction. House dances are party times. And there’s always added dan ger from added carelessness where fire is concerned. So don’t take unnecessary chances. Fire could be a guest at your dance this weekend. This is the recipe for treating decorations which the fire de partment gave us: 1. Paper — mix one part water glass with two parts water and cover both sides of the paper. Then let dry before hanging up. 2. Light cloth — mix 7 ounces of Borax, 3 ounces of Boric acid and two quarts of hot water. Dip the cloth and let it dry. 3. Heavy cloth — mix 9 ounces of Borax, 4 ounces of Boric acid and two quarts hot water. Dip the cloth and let it dry. . If you’re doing any painting, paint after the treatment is ap plied to the material. And don’t use these concoctions on varnish . ed floors. Dances are for fun, not for fires. So, make sure your house decorations are safe. An ounce of prevention ... or FIRE could be YOUR guest Saturday night. 9*t ...6* KWAX 6:00 p. iiu Sign On 6:03 Piano Moods 6:15 Four for a Quarter 6:30 News Till Now 6:45 Sports Shots 7:00 University Hour 8:00 Patrioscript 8:15 UN Story 8:30 Serenade to the Student 9:00 Kwaxworks 10:00 The SU and You 10:30 News Headlines 10:55 Tune to Say Goodnight 11:00 Sign Off Collegiate Intellect “Run down town and »r«*t 100 pound* of hamburger, mime lmn«, an’ make 50 gallons of coffee—and hurry—they’re having n I'nlverslty assembly next hour.” German Students Forbid Use Of Athletic Fund For Dance By Associated Collegiate Press The student govenment at the University of Marburg.

He placed classroom desks in a horseshoe arrangement around the 100m, about three feet apart. Then he left, telling the students they were on their honor. And they were, for if anyone tried to look at another student’s paper, every one else would see him. * • * “The editor shall not permit the paper to be used as an instrument of propaganda for any one set of ideas, one group or person.” “No criticism of any individual, or organization, shall be published without that individual or organi zation being permitted the right of reply.” "No editor should suppress any viewpoint merely because it con flicts with his own or his staff's.” Where are these quotes from ?
