Millracing Is Outlawed UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Nov. 11, 1942 One more Univer sity tradition haa become only a memory, and no longer will freshmen quake with fear aa they think of the angry waters of the famous Oregon millrace. Mill racing, that time honored cus tom of tossing people into the local stream, was outlawed and declared an illegal pastime for University students by student discipline committee at its meet ing Tuesday afternoon, accord ing to W. A. Dahlberg, chairman of the committee. Millrace Trouble Millrace trouble has been brew ing this term since several inno cent victims ended in the in firmary after an icy dip follow in the short forced march that | regularly precedes a racing. Complaints have come from the health service concerning the number of patients received be cause of racing incidents. The discipline committee passed the following motion to end the trouble: leaning sioppfo That the student discipline committee of the University of I Oregon considers the practice of mill-racing students contrary to the welfare of University stu j dents. Therefore, the committee i insists that the practice of mill racing be stopped. Penalties for breaking the com mittee's rule concerning racing are: 1. Whenever it is shown that an organized group violates the regulation, the group in question will be denied the privilege of adding new members. 2. Whenever individual students |or unorganized groups of students violate this regulation, they will be subject to suspension from the University. The committee at its Tuesday meeting also relieved a fraternity of a penalty imposed earlier in the year since the fraternity has shown a successful reorganiza tion of its affairs. The fraternity was denied the privileges of pledging or initiating members and was placed on social pro bation. Beer Banned In Living Organizations UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. April 5, 1933—There will be no beer in fraternity houses or halls on the Oregon campus, it became evident yesterday. Emphatic riteration of the University administration's stand against the use of alcoholoic bev erages by students was made yes terday by the student advisory committee and Virgil D. Earl, dean of men. This action was taken at meetings of the com mittee, of which Karl Onthank, dean of personnel administration, is chairman, and at a meeting of the interfraternity council. Committee Statement The statement of the commit tee follows: "In consideration of the fact that beer of 3.2 per cent alcoholic content will be legally available after April 6, 1933, it seems ad visable for the University of Ore bon to reaffirm its position in regard to alcoholic beverages. The University of Oregon’s pres ent policy pertaining to alcoholic beverages will continue in full force." •»«. The administration has for many years expressed a strong stand against the use of liquor by students, it was explained by Dean Earl. This policy is under stood to date back to the first days of the University, long be fore the state went . dry. Dean is “Opposed" "I am personally opposed to the use of liquor by students while at the University," Dean Earl said in a statement on l}is own views. A check of the majority of fraternities showed that they had either national or local rules against the use of liquor in the houses and that no action had been taken in view of the legal ized character of 3.2 per cent beer. Several houses have sent queries to their national officers to ascertain whether any change has been made in national rules. They have received no replies as yet. Houses Ban Liquor This would indicate that the policy of practically all houses of banning the use of liquor in the house will continue in force. It was not thought likely by lead ers of the interfraternity council that any house would except the newly legalized beer from the ban. All sororities on the campus also have strict regulations as to the use of liquor by any of their members. At present a member is liable to "unpinning" by prac tically all groups if she shows evidences of haviflg been drink ing intoxicating beverages.

Junior Frolic Cast Try Out UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, April 16, 1926—All senior women who took part in the senior April frolic stunt are asked to come to dress rehearsal at the Woman’s building at 10 -o’clock Sunday morning to try out for Junior Vodvil.

Harvard Decides To Make Trip UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, December 11, 1919—"Tournament of Roses committee cordially in vites you to send your best eleven to play Harvard University New Year’s Day at Pasadena on terms to those governing’ your previous contest here. Please wire accept ance immediately and a formal contract will be sent you.” Such is the telegram received at 4 o'clock this afternoon by President P. L. Campbell from W. L. Leishman, president of the Tournament of Roses committed at Pasadena, Calif. A similar telegram was received by Marian McClain, graduate manager, at the time. The faculty meeting shortly after 4 o’clock unanimously de cided to give their consent to the acceptance of the offer. News Received Coach “Shy” Huntington, Trainer Bill Hayward, Assistant | Coach Bart Spellman and the entire Oregon football team re ceived the news with joy. Fifteen minutes after the faculty gave out their favorable decision, 24 members of the varsity football squad were on Kincaid field prac ticing. The frigid weather and six inches of crusted snow were no obstacles to them. The team has done but little training or practicing during the prolonged indecision of the Pasadena com mittee, but tonight they started the most gruelling siege of train ing an Oregon eleven has ever undergone. To Bill Hayward, Ore gon’s veteran trainer, will rest the greatest of the load of work in the team’s preparation for the biggest football classic ever staged in the United States. Team Will Train With but three weeks before the contest will be staged. Trainer Hayward is starting the almost superhuman task of whipping a team into the best of physical condition as it must be before it can line up against the powerful Harvard eleven. All Oregon stands behind him and Coaches Shy Huntington and Spellman, and place every confidence in their preparation. Every member of the Pacific Coast championship eleven is in good condition except for the staleness which has come during the past two weeks of in activity. None of the men are seriously injured. Team Jubilant Every member of the Oregon eleven is jubilant over their se lection. Captain Brandenburg voiced the sentiment of the squad this afternoon when he said, "I'm all for it.’’ It is probable that the team will leave shortly for Pasadena in order to be in the sunny south for training and practicing. To scrimmage, practice, and get in shape in Eugene would be almost an impossibility due to the heavy mantle of snow which rests over the city and which shows no sign of disappearing.
