Junior Daubers Assume Shining Duties Thursday Robins sing, the church bells ring, and anything that rhymes with sing, school boys whistle, and this epistle divulges the news that shining of shoes is the major com ing attraction. Jim Blais, sedately polished yesterday announced to the wide waiting world that Thursday next, March 11, has been officially de signed as the day when prominent campus apple polishers will leave the fruit and tackle the feet. Having seen this article off to such a rollicking beginning, Blais suggested that a bit of a plug for the intensive drive to be launched Monday to sell Junior class tickets might be apropos. For, he logi cally pointed out, one of the privi leges of junior class members will be a shine—free—on shine day. Not only that, he went on be fore he could be stopped; purchas ers of the fifty-cent pasteboard will receive at no additional cost a re past by no means dainty to be dished out at the campus luncheon to be held as part of junior week end festivities. And of course, he concluded, they get to vote. Tickets go on sale Monday, and the drive will end Thursday morn ing. Send the Emerald to your friends. Subscription rates $2.50 a year. Campus Leaders (Continued from Page One) body card sale, in the last four days has brought in 225 members. In the meantime, student body leaders at the University, eyeing the tremendous success of the OSC drive, rallied around and prepared to launch a vigorous drive of their own. Officials of the University declare that in event of failure in this campaign that the same activ ities placed in jeopardy at Oregon State by the miserable sale of cards, would likewise suffer at this institution. ASUO Opens (Continued from Page One) state high school band and track contests to be held on the cam pus this term. Athletic participation and the right to eat at the campus lunch eon and to bring non-student guests, will be extended only to those who have membership cards, those who have membership cards, or junior class cards, Renner said. All students who are at present out for athletics and who do not purchase student body cards by Wednesday will be dropped from the squads by the A.S.U.O. Plans are being formulated, Renner added, to hold a gala all campus picnic if sufficient funds are available, although this event is still tentative. Dancing, dining, swimming, and baseball games would be the principal attractions, in event the picnic is held. Renner also stated that although band members would not be re quired to have student cards, only those owning them would be al lowed to appear in the public ap pearances of the organization that were sponsored by the A.S.U.O. The 10 scheduled baseball games promise to be most brilliant con tests as the Duck's championship squad is rated at the top again this season. An outstanding year for track is also apparent, the team failing last year by only one and one-half points of winning the northern division championship. Outstanding among the spring term attractions will be the grid contest between the members of the squad and the lums, led by All American Mikulak and his pals. The game will probably be played under the lights and no admission can be charged, eliminating all per sons who do not belong to the A.S.U.O. from attending the game. Several inter-squad contests are also planned for Hayward field. These likewise will be free to A. S. U. O. card holders. The state high school track con test and the high school band con test also promise to be of interest to University students, free admis sion being given with membership cards to both these events.
