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.

German Students Forbid Use
Of Athletic Fund For Dance
By Associated Collegiate Press
The student govenment at the
University of Marburg. Germany,
has rejected a proposal that mon
ey contributed voluntarily for
sports be used to introduce courses
in social dancing.

A professor at the University
of Indiana has invented a new
honor system, at least tempor
arily.
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.”

tors in New Zealand operate.
