MILL RACE
Group Agrees to Lift
Stream to Past Level
Hy Chuck A minis
Emerald Reporter
The possibility of the restora
tion of the mill race was dis
cussed at a meeting of the mill
race committee of the city coun
cil Tuesday night.
The meeting was one of a ser
ies to decide once and for all
what is to be the fate of the
stream, according to Jim Light,
student representative at the
meeting. Light is chairman of
Oregana Open House
Tonight, Says Editor
The Oregana will sponsor an
open house tonight in the Stu
dent Union for all students in
terested in working on the 1955
yearbook, according to Oregana
Editor Bob Southwell.
The affair will be held from
6:30 to 8 p.m. in the third floor
Oregana offices with the upper
staff on hand to greet all poten
tial members. Refreshments will
be served.
Editor Southwell stated that
no journalism experience is
necessary to work on the publi
cation.
| the Mill Race committee of the
! ASUO Senate.
A plan to raise the level of
the stream to its former height
was agreed upon. This would be
accomplished by the construc
tion of an adequate dam at the
stream’s outlet.
The object of the plan would
be eventually to provide recrea
tional facilities along the stream
for swimming, picnicking, canoe
ing, fishing, and horse-back rid
ing.
In the past the millrace has
played a big part in campus ac
tivities. Probably there is not
a student at tfle University today
who remembers the water carni
val as the high point of “Junior
Weekend,” but in the 1930’s
“Canoe Fete" and “Junior Week
end” were the same thing. Each
campus organization entered a
decorated canoe in the parade
contest. Trophies and prizes were
awarded to winning entries.
Also ducking in the mill race
provided an effective means of
disciplining unruly fraternity
pledges.
The city council's mill race
committee is due to meet again
in two weeks.

Assembly Director
By Jackie Wardell
Emerald Ateociate Editor
John Jensen, senior in speech,
watt named Htndent director of
the Oregon exchange assembly as
the ASUO senate postponed un
til later the actual question of

Censorship Comes Up
* The question of “censorship"
of the exchange assembly, an is
sue arising after last year's as

comment and subsequent banish
ment from the Portland high
schools, came up during inter
views of both Jensen and Tap
ncott.
Jensen, after promising there
would .be “no vulgarity if I di
rect the show,” .suggested a sys
tem of reviewal of the show by
a "select audience’’ after it was
“put together.’’
He would present the show to
a group selected by the Senate
asking for written comments
from these people. The Senate
would then go over the com
ments with the director.
Favors Reviewal
Tapscott explained he favored
some form of reviewal of the
show to relieve the director of
the responsibility and to make
the show more acceptable to the
Portland schools.
When asked if he had under
stood he could have the direc
tor’s position without competi
tion Tapscott replied that he
had understood no petitions were
necessary. ASUO President Bob
Summers explained he had not
been aware others were inter
ested in the job. Opening of peti
tions was not announced until
Monday.
Light Heads Committee
