GREAT ANNUAL
SHOE SALE

Continues All This Week
SOC Campus Day Set;
Plan Clean-Up Event
Ashland Camous day, the
major all-school activity of the
year at Southern Oregon college,
will be held Wednesday, May 14,
it was announced today by Pete
Sodcrlund, Medford, general
chairman. Undergraduates and
faculty will join in the all-day
program of campus refurbishing,
parade, picnic and sports.
Sodcrlund said the campus
clean-up project is the most ex
tensive ever planned, the parade
of 25 floats will be nearly dou
ble last year's entries, and the
picnic schedule far more elabo
rate thi.n past seasons.
Two Purposes
Purpose of the annual program
is two-fold, the chairman ex
plained. First, it provides an op
portunity to clean thorouglUy
the campus grounds and build
ings; and secondly, it stimulates
closer relations between students
and faculty. Sodcrlund said an
indirect accomplishment is estab
lishment of a keener school
spirit.
Classes will be suspended for
the day as studenis and faculty
alike assemble at 8 a.m. armed
with rakes, window rags, shovels
and brooms, ready to carry out
pre -assigned work projects.
Monte Kounz, Medford, chair
man of the highly successful
freshman clean-up initiation last
fall, will head the campus day
work plans. He will be assisted
by Larry Johnson, Malin, in cor
relating activity with the major
landscaping now under way.
Plan Parade
Shortly before noon the stu
dent body will parade through
downtown Ashland with bands,

floats and noise trucks. Glen
Roby, Cottage Grove, is parade
chairman and reports that every
campus organization has already
announced intention of entering
a float. Theme of the activity
will be "Twenty-Six Years of
Progress."
The college personnel will
then move to Jackson Hot
Springs for a picnic luncheon
speches by student body officer
candidates, entertainment,
games, swimming and dancing.
Tom Coleman, Coquille, is gen
eral chairman and will be assist
ed by Ken Mohney, Salem; Bob
Knott, Eugene; and Hal McKel
lips, Ashland.
Honorary leaders of the cam
pus day program will be "Joe
College" and "Betty Coed" to be
elected next week, Soderlund
said. He is being assisted with
over-ail plans by Dick Thorpe,
Ashland.
Central Point Petitions for
the proposed Central Point Ru
ral Fire district were turned
into the Jackson county asses
sor's office yesterday with 261
names on them for checking of
the legality of signatures, ac
cording to Richard Krupp, city
fire chief.
Only 200 legal names are
needed to establish a county
court hearing, Krupp explained.
He said the law firm of Hanley
and Manley is now drawing up
an order for the hearing, when
all interested parties can be
heard regarding the district.
No Opposition
"We have run into no oppo
sition so far," the fire chief stat
ed, "and have received favorable
response from the rural dwell
ers.
Krupp pointed to the Oregon
law regarding such hearings and
