"My visit to Peiping was a
first stage in my efforts to re
lease the 11 American fliers and
the other United Nations Com

feel that my talks with Mr. Chou
En-Lai, premier-foreign minister
of Red China, were definitely
useful for this purpose. We hope
to be able to continue our con
tacts. The door that has been
opened can be kept open if given
restraint on all sides.”

By Sam Frear

The ASUO Senate cleared the

ment of an Oregon tradition that

pus for many years. The Canoe
Fete, long an established Junior
Weekend event, will again be

Refugee Plan
To Miss Goal
WASHINGTON (API — The
head of President Eisenhower's
refugee relief program expressed
doubt Thursday that the program
can reach its goal of 214,000
above-quota immigrants by Dec.
31, 1956.
R. W. Scott McLeod, whose ad
ministration of the plan has
been under fire in Congress, told
newsmen his chief problem is get
ting assurances from American
sponsors that the refugees will
(1) be employed without putting
an American out of work, (2) be
housed without displacing any
body, and (3) will not become
public burdens.
He said he favors changing the
1953 act to do away with the job
and housing assurance require
ments in cases of relatives in the
United States. That would re
mcive an administrative hind
lance, he said.
Making the goal by the dead
line is possible, McLeod said at
a news conference, if Americans
provide the required assurances.
But with the changes he sug
gested, he raised questions about
the situation on the other end of
the pipeline.
He said he doubts there are
enough refugees who can meet
the health requirements of the
law and who are willing to leave
an economically improving Eur
ope to start a new life in the
United States.
Rob Roy and Darlene Leland re
ported that their committee may
plan the program around a Ham
mond organ. The show will fea
ture costumes and lighting ef
fects with organ background
i music. Freshmen talent ranging
from dancers to comedians will
! perform during the intermission.
Jo Eggleston, co-chairman of
flying speeches, announced that
' speeches will be given in the
freshmen dorms Monday eve
! n*ng.
Eugene freshmen will be con
tacted next week by a '‘sno-baH’’
phoning committee. Diane Raoul
Duval, sub-committee chairman,
said. Off campus freshmen bene
fit from the dormitory posters
! or meetings, and sometimes do
1 not get the information.
"An all out campaign to have
100 per cent attendance at the
\ dance is the main goal of the
publicity committee," stated Him
; Hilands, committee co-chairman,
i “Since the dance is free and
good entertainment is planned,
, we shouldn't have much trouble
getting all the frosh to come.
YM to Visit
Another in a series of YWCA
! sponsored visits to local churches
| will be held Sunday for all in
| terested students. Those inter
ested in attending will meet at
9:45 a.m. in the Carson hall din
ing room where coffee will be
served and a brief introductory
talk on the church will be given.
This week the group will visit
the Methodist church and will
leave Carson at 10:30. After the
service a brief question and an
swer period on the church will
be conducted with the minister.
Transportation will be pro
vided by the YMCA.
Church
a "handsome Junior Weekend
program.”
Junior weekend, an annual
spring event, will of necessity be
rearranged to accommodate the
fete which planners envision as
being the central part of the
weekend In future years.
Of two alternate plans, the
Senate approved one which
would schedule the Canoe Fete
for Friday night of the Weekend
with the Junior Prom to be held
on Thursday evening and the all
campus sing on Saturday night.
This arrangement may neces
sitate scheduling a day of no
classes because of the many ac
tivities of the weekend. The Sen
ate recommended Friday of the
weekend as a no-class day to
enable full student participation
in the various programs.
The Senate approved a canoe
fete committee headed by Bob
Schooling and Jim Light to make
arrangements for the fete, now
scheduled for May 13. For this
year only, both a float parade
and a canoe fete will be held. In
the future years the float parade
will disappear as a Junior Week
end tradition.
The Senate committee empha
sized that the available water
space is sufficient for the page
ant although it acknowledged
that it will have to be of limited
size, (about ten floats), for at
least this year.
In addition to the problem of
rescheduling Junior Weekend to
fit in the fete, the commitee also
will have considerable difficulty
in putting on an activity that has
long been absent on the campus.
Barges will have to be built, start
ing problems arranged, and fi
nancial resources evaluated.
Another problem will be to
limit the participating houses in
the water show. Also, certain
minor features of Junior Week
end, such as the profusive award
giving and the Sunlight Sere
nade, may have to go.
The fete steering commitee
expressed confidence that all the
difficulties will be ironed out and
that Oregon will finally reestab
lish, in Schoolings words, “the
finest tradition that Oregon ever
had. ’
Senate Meeting
Lengthy, Varied
The Senate met Thursday night
in a session that if not distinc
tive in the variety of actions
taken, was at least noteworthy
for its length.
For four hours and ten min
utes the Senate discussed and
acted upon numerous proposals,
ranging from the selection of a
new Senate member through a
re-establishment of an Oregon
tradition to recommending an
honor for an outstanding Oregon
athlete.
Anne Ritchey, junior in jour
nalism, was selected to fill the
senate vacancy created by the
non-eligibility of Gary West.
Miss Ritchey was chosen from an
assembly of eight petitioners
whose distinctive characteristics
were high grade points, in a
very long and tedious selection
process that consumed one hour
of the senate meeting.
Other petitioners for the sen
ator-at-large position were Kar
en Kraft, sophomore in business;
Fritz Fraunfelder, sophomore in
pre-med; Carl Groth, sophomore
in liberal arts; Shirley McLean,
sophomore in liberal arts; Dick
Beckman, junior in pre-med;
