Freshman Leaders Express Opinions
By Bob Rogers
imarsld Reporter
BrlHn Booth, president: Jim
Lynch, vice-president, and Hob
Hoy and Louie Hlue, representa
tives, newly-elected freshman
class officers, expressed a va
riety of viewpoints when asked
about current campus issues with
which they will he confronted as
members of the A8UO senate.
The youngest AHUO officers
were asked to comment on seat
ing at football games, the Mill
rare problem, the A8UO enter
tainment commission and ASUO
sponsorship of a Unlveislty rifle
team.
.Speaking of the controversial
Mlllrace question, Louie Blue, a
native of Eugene, took the fi
nancially realistic standpoint
that the ‘Race is a nuisance and
should be filled in. He explained
that a Jetty would have to be
placed at the mouth of the Mill
race In order to turn the water
from the Willamette into the
'Race.
Lynch and Roy felt that the
Mlllrace should be saved be
cause of the beauty It adds to the
campus. They felt that the tra
ditional dunkings and other
phases of campus life connected
with the 'Race make it an im
portant part of campus life.
Brian Booth stated without
reservation that the 'Race should
be preserved, and expressed the
hope that the historic stream
may someday resume its promi
nent place in campus life.
Khould the A8UO sponsor a
University rifle team? The four i
agreed that, a rifle team should
he established on a minor sport
basis, if it does not conflict with
ROTC program. Louie Blue
pointed out that since only orw
other roast conference school has
a rifle team, it would be good for
Oregon to take the lead.
The four freshman leaders
were not so unanimous on the
issue of the ASUO entertainment
commission.
“If the entertatnment com
mission concerns itsejf with im
proving the quality of the or
ganization of the various pro
grams, it should be allowed to
expand to cover more than mere
ly the exchange assemblies, but if
it acts as a board of review or
a censorship committee, then I
am against the idea," Booth said.
Jim Lynch said that the com
mission is a good idea and that
assemblies should be reviewed,
but he added that the maturity,,
of college students should be i
taken into consideration. "The
assembly should not be evaluated
on the same basis as a high
school assembly,” he said.
Roy and Blue took a some
what similar stand on the ques-1
tion of the ASUO entertainment j
commission and its relationship
to the annual exchange assembly.
Roy said that the new seating
arrangement at the Washington
State football game was a great
help in improving school spirit.
Blue and Booth felt that the plan
should be publicized and enforced

to a greater degree.
Lynch expressed the opinion
that more pressure should be
brought to bear upon “piggcrs.”

the freshman class, Booth said

Intramural Plan
ToGo Into Effect
A plan approved by the In
ter-fraternity council last spring
term for placing fraternities in
intramural athletics leagues ac
cording to the number of active
members in each fraternity will
go into effect at the beginning
of winter term.
Athletic managers of 29 men's
living organizations voted Tues
day to replace the present sys
tem wheieby the top teams of
the past year are seeded first
in each of the individual leagues.
Leagues to Be Established
The new system provides that
the fraternities with the largest
memberships will be placed in
two leagues and the 11 with the
smallest memberships in two
other leagues.
Under the old system, the
teams highest in the standings
from the previous year were
placed at the head of each of the
individual leagues. The leagues
were then filled with the teams
which had the poorest records
the previous year.
Killing Applies to 4 Sports
The new permanent set-up will
apply only to football, basket
Coach Commends
Spirit of Students
The University’s school spirit is rapidly improving. At least this
is true if the opinion of Len Casanova, head football coach, and his
staff is indicative.
Casanova wrote in a letter to Rally Board Chairman Sally Stadel
man that he and the grid squad both were pleased with the support
they received from the student body during the past season.
Following is Casanova's letter:
I would like to take this opportunity in behalf of the entire
football coaching staff to thank you, the rally committee, the
entire student body, and the administration for the wonderful
support of the football team this past season.
I lielieve it is the revival of the tremendous Oregon spirit,
and I am sure that your group has set a high standard for future
rally committees.
I know (and I am speaking for all of those who participated in
football) that the enthusiastic reception given us after our defeat
by U.C.L.A. at the airport had a marked impression on the entire
squad for the remainder of the season. 1 am positive that if this
spirit is exemplified by the rally committee and student body
in future years, Oregon will continue to prosper in the football
world.
Again, many thanks for your efforts and with every hest wish
for continued support to the other athletic teams throughout
the year, 1 am
Sincerely,
J. Casanova
Head Football Coach.
ball, volleyball and softball.
Other sports are straight elim
ination sports under the intra
mural system.
A plan to make the new sys
tem applicable to all men's liv
ing organizations was defeated
by a 20 to 5 vote. A large-house
plan calling for the placement of
fraternities in athletic leagues
according to their IFC member
ship quotas was defeated, 17
to 3.
IFC Discussed Plan
The plan for placing fraternity
teams in leagues according to
strength of membership was dis
cussed in IFC meetings last
spring term and a resolution fa
voring division of intramural
play among fraternities into four
leagues according to size of total
active membership was adopted
at that time.
No further action was taken
on the plan until this term, when
interested fraternities question
ed Paul Washke, professor of
physical education and super
visor of the intramural program,
on the possibility of such a set
up.
Washke turned the question
over to the house athletic man
agers, saying that the school of
physical education acts only in a
supervisory capacity, and that
actual policy decisions rest with
the athletic managers of com
peting fraternities, co-ops and
dormitories.
Washke said that he knows
of no similar plan at the Uni
versity in the past, and said that
apparently the Inter-dormitory
council had taken action similar
to that of IFC.
Co-op to Distribute
Lists to Students
New textbook lists designed
to speed up service at the co-op
during the rush at the beginning
of the term will - be distributed
Jan. 3, according to G. L. Hen
son, manager of the co-op.
Printed lists of all required
textbooks will be available for
distribution to students at the
entrances of the Co-op, Henson
announced. This will enable stu
dents to know the titles and
prices of books they wish to pur
chase so that service at the book
1 counter can be faster than in
1 the past.
