Race Change Possible
After Council Elections
By Sam Frear
Enurald lUporUr
Tuesday's elections of Eugene
city council members may cause
rignificant changes in that body's
view to the Millrace restoration
program.
There are six candidates for
the four vacancies in the city
council. Of the six. only one has
gone on record as favoring, with
out qualifications, the restora
tion of the Millrace.
One other Is regarded by Kieth
Fennell, president of the Eugene
Millrace association, as being
partial to the program. The other
four offer several reservations to
any plan to put water back into
the race.
Benefits Too Few
The principal objection of
fered by these candidates is that
the Millrace, if restored, would
benpfit too few and be virtually
Inaccessible to the public.

the first ward, i* running unop
posed and is regarded by Fennell
ay a friend of the Millrace pro
gram.
In the second ward, Eyler
Brown, associate professor of
architecture, is opposing War
ren Shinier, grocery store owner.
Brown is the only candidate fa
voring Millrace restoration with
out reservations. Shisler is "not
in favor of maintaining the Mill
race In its present condition."
Kestoration, If Keasonablc
Shisler says that he is inter
ested in the expansion of Eugene
parks and that he would approve
Millrace restoration if it were
at a "reasonable" cost. Shisler
hesitates giving wholehearted en
dorsement of the Millrace project
because he feels most of the
benefit of the Kace would be re
ceived by adjacent residents.
This objection was also offered
by Larry Watson, ward 3 in
cumbent running for re-election
without opposition. Watson op
poses restoration unless the
stream is to bo made available
to all of the public.
Denies Kace Not Available
Fennell denied that the Mill
race is available only to nearby
residents. He argued that the
Millrace facilities will be as

To enjoy a city park, Fennel!
maintained that "you have to go
there.” And once there, anyone
can nee an much of the Millrace
and use ita facilities an much as
nearby residents, Fennell said.
Two Claim it inaccessible
Two candidates from the fourth
ward feel that this is not the
case. Ray Siegenthaler, insur
ance firm partner, and Robert
Hartman, partner in Claypool's
drugstore on campus, both offer
objections to the Millrace based
on the inaccessibility idea.
Fennell, however, claims that
there are many places of access
to the Millrace. He pointed to
the city owned park facilities at
the headwaters as a place for
public enjoyment of the Race if
water is restored.
Co-op Store
Boss Named
Appointment of a new mana
ger for the Webfoot Consumers
Co-op. student-owned grocery at
the University’s Amazon hous
ing project, was announced Fri
day by the Co-op board of direc
tors.
He is Lloyd DeLess, who has
been in the grocery business dur
ing the past 27 years and at one
time owned and operated his
own store in Eugene. Now em
ployed at the 19th Street Market,
DeLess will assume his new du
ties Nov. 1.
DeLess replaces Norm Peter
son, senior in geology, who re
cently resigned to devote full
time to his studies. Peterson has
served as Co-op manager for the
past year.
According to Charles Hawkes.
president of the Co-op board,
the appointment of DeLess rep
resents a departure from past
policy of hiring student man
agers. Hawkes said four students
who applied for the position were
not considered by the board as
properly qualified.
Hawkes also noted that the
Co-op has grown, since its be
ginning two years ago, to a
$50,000 a year business, and
pointed out that during the past
year the Co-op has paid off its
purchase loan and is now oper
ating “in the black.”
Hawkes said success of the
Co-op is “in no small way” due
to Peterson s management dur
ing that time.

Student Union to Celebrate
Fourth Birthday with Party
The Student Union will cele
brate its fourth birthday with a
party to be held in the fishbowl
Wednesday afternoon.
A birthday cake will be cut by
Bob Pollock, SU board chairman,
and Donna Shaffer, directorate
chairman. Free coffee will be
served.
The Student Union was offi
cially opened on Sept. 27, 1950
following 27 years of fund rais
ing and work. The building was
begun in 1948 and completed in
the late summer of 1950.
Named after Donald M. Erb,
president of the University from
1938 until his death in 1943, the
two million dollar structure is the
result of many fund raising cam
paigns that first started in 1923.
The SU represents a central
ization of campus activities. It
now houses the offices of the
Oregana, ASUO, YMCA, the traf
fic court and other student func
tions that were once scheduled in
Gerlinger annex, the Side, Mc
Arthur court and any other places
where meeting room could be
found.
Now a campus meeting place,
the SU offers many facilities for
the student that were unknown
on the campus until the building
opened.
The SU also symbolizes the
shift of the center of campus ac
tivities. The University seal, the
Hello walk, and the Senior bench
at one time were all located on
the old campus. Through the
years and' with the advent of the
SU, campus activities and tradi
tions have become consolidated
in their southward movements.
Freshman Candidates
To Address Assembly
Freshmen elections will get
underway tonight when candi
dates who have filed for office
apeak in the Student Union. Hol
lis Ransom. ASUO vice-president,
announced Sunday night that 18
freshman have filed petitions.
The deadline for petitions is
not until ft p.m. Wednesday, but
only those who have turned in
petitions by 6 p.m. today will be
able to appear at the election
assembly. The candidates may
speak for three minutes, Ransom
said.
Frcithmpn to Fleet Four
Freshman and graduate stu
dents will elect officers Nov. 10.
Freshmen will elect a president,
vice-president and two represen
tatives. Graduates will select only
a representative. Petitions arc
available on the third floor of the
SU and should be returned to the
ASUG petition box.
This will be the first election
in which the divided ballot has;
been used since the present ASUO
constitution went into effect.
With the divided ballot, candi
dates indicate if they are run
ning for president or representa
tive. Then the preferential sys
tem is used to elect the two rep
resentative^ the president and
the vice-president.
System Defeated Representatives
For the past few years, no such
indication could be officially made
and under the preferential sys
tem the top four candidates for
the presidential post were elect
ed. This system usually defeated
the candidates for representative.
A constitutional amendment
passed last spring effected the
change in the freshman ballot.
After the top two candidates for
president are elected, the rest of
the candidates for president are
declared defeated and the repre
sentative candidates' ballots are
counted.
Two Tables Speed Up Process
Another new feature of this
