Emerald I'hu.c by Dale Turner
THEV WONT COME OFF! Orp|«iu Business Manager Hub McCraeken diacnvrnt “Duck Feet”
iimhI in Ore(jana promotion wouldn’t yield to the scrubbing of Oregau staffers Wednesday. The
tracks have to go, the HU board told Me Crackcn.
The duck track# painted on
Hello walk as an Oregana pub
licity stunt led the Student Union
board to disavow publicity cam
paigns of any type in the SU
or on the grounds without ad
ministration approval.
The tracks were painted as an
advertising stunt to increase the
yearbook sales, according to Don
Peck, Oregana sales manager.
Peck said that the Oregana
staff thought they had authority
i to paint the walk because they
j had the permission of Donald
Du Shane, director of student
affairs; Les Anderson, director
of public service, and I. I.
Wright, superintendent of the
physical plant.
These men, when contacted,
said that they were unaware of
j the board's policy concerning
| publicity in and around the
j building.
Dads Respond Better
To Students' Requests
I ne best way to get your
Dad to come to Dad's weekend
ia to ask hiui yourself,” accord
ing to Karl Onthank, associate
director of Student Affairs.
“Letters are sent to th? ddds
asking them to come by the Uni
versity but they won't come un
less they think their son or
daughter wants them to come,"
continued Onthank. Onthank
stated that much of the attend
ance of Dad's weekend depends
on personal letters to the dads
by the students themselves.
Dad's weekend this year will
feature many events planned es
pecially for the attendance of
the student and his dad together.
The Barbershop quartet con
test, sponsored by the Student
Union Music committee will be
held Friday night, Feb. 4, fol
lowing the basketball game. The
basketball game and the Barber
shop quartet contest will be the
starting points of Dad’s weekend.
The Dad's weekend hostess,
traditionally a married student,
will be presented at the Barber
shop quarter contest Friday
night.
Saturday, a Dads’ luncheon for
all Oregon dads and their sons
and daughters will be held in the
Student Union ballroom at 11:50
a.m.
Saturday night, the Oregon
Waahington basketball game
will be the main event of the
evening with special seating ar
ranged for the dads and their
sons and daughters.
Living organizations will honor
the Oregon dads with special din
ners Sunday.
The theme of this year’s Dad's
weekend is as yet undecided, ac
cording to Barky Herman, sign
contest chairman.

cally does not control the Hello

; the paint from the walk will be
determined by the SU adminis

tallic paper and black print. The

Mary Jane Alexander at ext.
483, Carson hall.
chapel committee backed the
movement.
Bell noted that interest in a
chapel is lower this year than it
was at. that time but said that
I this lack of interest is due, in
j part at least, to lack of activity
i during fall term.
"Spontaneous interest,’’ he said,
| "may build up again and if it
j does it will bring further ac
tion.”
The idea of a. campus chapel
j began far back in the Univer
sity's history, but its fate thus
far has been considerable talk
j and little action.
A committee was set up last
1 year to study the matter and al
i though the project of designing
the chapel was undertaken, the
i matter was dropped once again.
Some student opposition was
encountered but maintenance
. and location of the proposed cha
I pel were the major obstacles.
Finances and the problem of
selecting chaplains also held up
progress.
Bell said that he believed the
| proposed chapel could be realized
if the scattered interest in it
could be organized.
"We need at least 60 per cent
of the campus behind us to get
anywhere,” Bell said, "and we
need the support of at least 60
per cent of the living orgaaiza
! tions.”
