wolves. Senior Leap Wqek la a
tradition of the University which

dim past, unknown to the present
college generation. Secret sor
rows. worshipped from afar, are
at last attainable. New flames
are acquired, old ones discarded,
which is another source of worry

campus. In short, any senior
woman has the complete right
to ask any man on the campus
for a date during the course of
the week.

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.

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.
