Local Mayor Praises
Oregon's Canoe Fete
V. E. Johnson, mayor of Eu
gene, praised Oregon students
on the success of the Canoe Fete
during the Young Republicans
meeting last night. Students
have proved their interest in
Millrace restoration, Johnson
said.
The city council is still in
vestigating ways to improve the
flow of water in the Millrace, he
sad. However, he added that the
'Race could never be restored to
its former condition, since the
city owns only the water rights.
Johnson, also a state repre
sentative from Lane county,
spoke to the Young Republicans
on the need for aggressive action
by Oregon Republicans.
"We will face a much more
socialistic type of government
if the Republicans do not main
tain their leadership," he said.
"We must sell Republican candi
dates to the people.”
“We must awaken Republicans
in the state to the fact that it
is no longer an easy battle to
maintain leadership,” Johnson
said, reminding the meeting of
the recent senatorial race, and
the fact that the Republicans
now hold only a slight majority
in the state legislature.
The club also passed a resolu
tion urging Gov. Paul Patterson
to run for the United States Sen
ate against Wayne Morse in 1956.

The fund, which is used to pay
for the Ore-Nter and for other
expenses, is financed by charg
ing a $5 fee to all students who
:-ign up for rushing. IFC is re
funded SI for each rushee and
Panhellenic gets $1 for each
woman who rushes, plus $1 for
each pledge.
Donald M. DuShane, director
of student affairs, attended the
meeting and explained the his
tory and uses of the fund. He
told the group that, in addi
tion to paying for the Ore-Nter,
which is listed as a publication
of the ASUO, the fund goes to
pay part of the salaries of stu
dent affairs personnel engaged
in fraternity and sorority work.
He also revealed that the fund

for meals and athletic tickets for
high school principals attending
"Ex-seniors’ Day” here Satur

Regarding Fund'
A last minute request for an
explanation of the $5 rushing fee
drew the attention of the ASUO
Senate Thursday night. In their
first meeting, the new senators
heard Donald M. DuShane, direc
tor of student affairs, defend the
use of rush fees in the pre-fresh
man week account.
Earlier in the evening Du

fraternities. He later explained
that most of this was promotion
and public relations.
Anne Ritchey, senator-at-large,
presented the possibility of draw
ing money for the fund from
the Student Union and Educa
tional Activities fund. She also
suggested that a public ancount
ing of the funds be made.
In other business, the new
Senate dealt the death blow to
ASUO honor code and test files,
with a decision to give the re
sponsibility of the test files to
the YMCA and to disband the
test files committee.
The Senate also went on record
as trying again for a one-card
student body card. The possibil
ity of an all-inclusive IBM card
was presented. Sam Vahey,
ASUO vice-president, was ap
pointed chairman of the com
mittee. Serving with him will
be John Whitty, graduate stu
dent representative, and Doug
Basham, junior class president.
The rifle team request for $300,
leferred back to the Senate by
the ASUO budget board, was
sent to the budget request com
mittee. Whitty was appointed
chairman of the committee, along
with Brian Booth and Sam
Frear.
Rescheduling of Mother’s week
