tial committee Friday afternoon.

Webfoots Win Track
Baseball, Golf Crowns
Oregon s Ducks hit the jackpot in Northern Division sports
act.on over the past weekend, taking home three championship,
tropines as league competition was completed with the annual
AIJ tournaments.
Th
he Ducks won two of th<5 three tournevs boinr- h
dd
son mie at the Eugene
Country club and coming home
with a hard-earned victory in the
league track and field champion
ships held in Pullman. In addition
to these two crowns, Don Kirsch’s
Webfoot baseball team clinched
their second straight diamond
championship with a 4-0 win over
the Oregon State Beavers at Howe
field.
The only sport in which the
Ducks failed to gain a first place
finish was tennis. The Washing
ton Huskies edged OSC for the
net title on the Oregon courts last
Friday and Saturday. The Ducks
finished third.
Golfer* Win Easily
Sid Milligan's golfers were far
and away the best team in league
links play and their additional
win in the ND tourney established
them as the undisputed champions
in that sport. Don Krieger and A1
Mundle were the leading lights for
Oregon as they defeated second
place Oregon State by 15 strokes.
At Pullman, Bill Bowerman’s
trackmen staged a two-team duel
with the University of Washington
and finally came out on top with
a total of 49% points. The Huskies

Washington was leading the
Ducks going into the final event
of the day, but a tremendous ef
fort on the part of the Oregon
mile relay team sewed up the
meet for the Webfoots. Gordon
Dahlquist, Fred Jacobs, Doug Tal
bot, and Doug Clement composed
the all-important quartet which
sped the distance in the near rec
ord time of 3:20.9.
Great Comeback
Kirsch's baseball team probably
made one of the greatest come
backs in history of the division as
they won the final two game series
of their four tussles with OSC to
edge Ralph Coleman's Beavers fee
the second year in a row'. Tho
Ducks were trailing their cross
state rivals by one full game go
ing into the final set and had to
win both contests to win the title.
Oregon won Friday at Corvallis
and came back to clinch the top
spot Saturday on their home field.
Chimes Installed
In Student Union
me cfnmes are here!
Installation of the long-awaited
electronic noisemakers in the tow-!
er of the Student Union was com-j
pleted Saturday morning and the j
25-bell arrangement chimed for I
the first time at noon Saturday, j
Wednesday Date
Of Frosh Picnic
Wednesday has been set as
the date for this year’s fresh
man picnic, according to Don
Smith, freshman class president
and general chairman of the
event.
The picnic will be held at Ar
mitage park from 5:30 to 10
p. m. and food will be free.
Janis Gleason and Marcia
Mauney are in charge of the
food; Huger Brandt and Darrrtl
Brittsan, transportation; Betty
Anderson and Mary Gerlinger,
publicity; Dick Collins and Ste
wart Johnson, program, and
Gary West, arrangements.
Representatives of the school of
music, physical plant, and Student
Union -were to meet at 10 a. rn.
today to decide when the chime"
would begin’ regular on-the-hcur
operation.
The chimes, which are really
very small rods whose tones arc
amplified, will be used between
classes and for special events or
campus. They will also be used t*>
close the class day.
Money for the purchase of the
chimes came from three sources— -
donations from the class of 1943,
which remained after the purchase
of the memorial plaque in the SU:
donations from the class of 1953,
and donations from alumni lead
ers.
The cost of the chimes was es
timated at $3500 by Dick Wil
liams, SU director, when their in
stallation was discussed with the
ASUO senate last October.
The senate voted unanimous ap
proval of the chimes and many
faculty members and alumni have
echoed the approval.
ECONOMY MOVE
Dorms Eat at Carson Over Weekend
Dormitory students, both
men and women, waited in line
as long as 45 minutes for their
Sunday dinner at Carson hall.
All dorm students, except those
living in Hendricks hall, ate at
Carson during the past week
end.
'file John Straub kitchen was
closed during the weekend to
save money, H. P. Barnhart, di
rector of dormitories, said Thurs
day, in answer to an Inter-hall
council question of why Straub
was being closed. '
The average wait in line at Car
son Sunday seemed to be about
35 minutes for most students. The
cafeteria line was opened at 1
p. m. and closed at 2:10, 25 min
utes later than planned. Some
students left the line and ate
aowntown, rather than face the
long wait.
Hendrick’s hall's kitchen was
not closed Sunday because Presi
dent O. Meredith Wilson had been
invited to eat dinner there, Barn
hart told the IHC committee
Thursday.
- Closed for Economy
In regard to the closure of
Straub during the weekend and of
the Carson kitchen about three
weekends ago, Barnhart said that
the closures are being made in the
interest of economy. He also ad
vanced the opinion to the commit
tee last Thursday that many stu
dents would go home during the
weekend, as they will during
Memorial weekend.
The closure of the Straub kit
chen was just one of the questions
which the IHC committee asked
Barnhart, at the request of the en
tire council. The quality of the
dorm food, excessive noise in the
j dining room and the seeming
I shortage of labor was also brought
j up by the council representatives.
I Barnhart said that it was not
; the policy of the dormitory system
i to cut the quality of food and aer
i vice in the dorms kitchens. How
j ever, he said, when the number of
students drop, as it has this year,
j it is necessary to cut the number
of student employees in the kit
chens to maintain an equal ratio
throughout the year.
labor Costs Rise
He emphasized that when labor
costs rise above 26 percent of the
total costs, it comes out of the
food budget. Anything the dorm
system can save will show up in
the food, Barnhart said. It is not
the intention of the system to fur
j nish food which is inferior in any
way, he said.
Barnhart reacted favorably to a
suggestion from the committee
! that an IHC committee be set up
next fall to have weekly meetings
with the Straub dietician about
the food.
Acoustical tile will be placed on
the walls and ceiling of the Straub
dining room as soon as it is possi
ble. This should reduce the noise a
great deal, Barnhart said. The
committee asked that something
also be done about the noise creat
ed at the tray stations. It was
the feeling of the council that the
trays could be cleaned more quiet
ly. The dormitory director promis
ed to look into the matter.
Barnhart was supposed to have
met with IRC last Tuesday, but
in his place Si Ellingson, counselor
for men and adviser to the student
group, answered some of the coun
cil's questions. It was his opinion
that when the new men’s dorm is
built, enabling the freshmen to be
separated from upperclassmen,
many of the problems will be solv
ed.
Ball Playing Banned
He also explained a recent di
rective from the office of student
affairs asking that residents of
Straub refrain from playing on
the lawns surrounding- the build
ing.
The directive came after IHC?
had sent a letter to the office of
student affairs, President Wilson
and other campus officials asking
that the men be allowed to uso
the lawns for unorganized play bfr
fore and after dinner.
Ellingson said that a meeting of
the campus planning commission
— Ellingson; Ray Hawk, director
of men's affairs; Donald DuShane,
director of.student affairs, and J.
Orville Lindstrom, University bus
iness manager — will be held in
the near future to consider the
matter. The final decision, how
ever, will rest with President Wil
son, Ellingson said.
