“Top
Hatter”
I,
,1
By DICK WATKINS
WELL, here we are again, right
back where we started from, many
moons ago, all set to sling some
more over-ripe boloney, musical
and otherwise. . . . Being as how
our old standby non-de-plume,
“ANYTHING GOES,” of spring
term fame (?), has been uncere
moniously “SWIPED” from our
trusting hands by wolves on the
current U. OF CAL. ragsheet, we
have been hard pressed to dig up
a worthy substitute, so are filling
*n with the above steal, “TOP HAT
TER.” till some campus GOOD SA
MARITAN comes through with a
nugget-idea. ... In other words,
any and all suggestions will be
greeted with onen arms by this
rumble scribe (PHONE 565). . . .
ANYHOW, to get down to brass
tacks, we’ll give the immediate
band set-up, the once-over. . . .
LOCAL STUFF . . . The outlook
for Fall festivities looks exceed
ingly rosy, with both WILLAM
ETTE PARK and the GREEN
PA RROT (EX-COCOANUT
GROVE), going full blast. . . . The
PA RFC has been completely reno
vated and looks 100 per cent, better,
and with SLTM MARTIN'S orches
tra on the stand SUNDAY NIGHT,
it offers the week-end’s BEST BET
for those who crave to JIG and
IMBIBE. . . . MARTIN'S outfit of
an even dozen entertainers have
been playing the coast, spots for
some time, hanging their hats
mostly around HOLLYWOOD and
vicinity, and only recently played
McELROY'S ROOF in' PORT
LAND. ... As for the GREEN
PARROT, those who took it in last
Monday at the RUSHING DANCE
are still commenting on the breezy
Way Art Holman has snapped his
orchestra (EX-TEN COMMAND
ERS, although most of the lads are
new) out of their last term’s trance,
and are now dishing out all the
choice tunes in a smooth style.
(And do those violins sound sweet.)
Regular dances will be held at the
G.P. enc h Wed. & Sateves from now
on if Holman can keep up the pace, I
perhaps Jimmy Dieriekx’s gang
from O.S.C. won’t be running
down this neck of the woods as of-1
ten as he did last year, when good
bands, (or rather a good bund, I
were as scarce around this campi
ns hamburger dives at the North
Pole . . . (Incidentally, after listen
ing to Dlerlekx out at the Park
Sunday eve, he sounds better than
ever, following his highly success
ful summer session at Seaside . . .
and his name-band invitations are
still in a class by themselves . . .
WELL, that’s the deal so far and it
surely looks encouraging from ev
ery angle ... of course for those
more fastidious lads, we under
stand Jeff Beach is still going, and
perhaps for those whose taste is
even more subtle, we n ight men
tion the far-famed 7th St. Formal,
(Moose Hall to you), is still offer
ing unlimited opportunities to
those on the loose ... so we gath

ork, who are NBO’d nightly, are
still keeping the Palace Hose Bowl,
head and shoulders above the rest
of the S.F.’h nitespots, and there
are more of them around them
thar parts than you can shake a
stick at, too. Although he was in
itially handicapped by having to
step in, last May, after Tom Coak
ley’s record-breaking engagement,
Pendarvls with the aid of his swell
elegant trio, the Playboys, plus
Marge Bcedy’s singing, has con
trived to pack them into the Bowl,
even during the off-summer sea
son, and will continue on through
out the fell. Penilnrvls, a Phi Belt
from U,.C. t. A. gathered his band
mostly fiom off that campus, and
prior to his Palace date, batoned
in the Fast, for the most part,
Griff Williams has returned once
again to the Mark Hopkins, and
seems to be following the success
ful footsteps of Anson Weeks, not
only as to style, but by making
the ‘MARK', his semi-permanent
roost . . . ,Jimmy Walsh, formerly
Weeks' star trombone slider, and
lately with Williams, now has his
own bagpipe outfit down at the
Santa Monica Miramar, and if his
broadcasts are any criterion of his
worth, his popularity is due for a
sharp drop, down hill . . . Jimmy
I Grier, still holding the fort at L.
A.’s Blltniore Bowl, after a steady
run of nearly 2 years there, is eur
j rently featuring one honey of a
, tune, “Hollywood at Y'ine>” which
he recorded this week, and which
will soon be on the Big Ten line-up
. . . Written by a young chap
named Lyle Baker, who is now
singing with Grier, this tune, was
; first introduced up in the Vosemite
Valley by Jay Jacobsen’s band,
summering up there, and became
an overnight hit, at that resort,

Band Members Shine in
New Set of Uniforms
Sighs of relief were the order of
the clay Thursday when the Uni
versity of Oregon bandsmen re
ported in for their uniforms. There
some nice new confederate grey
jackets, double breasted, with
green collars and lapels and lemon
yellow sleeve bands. On the left
sleeve of each, at the shoulder is
a big fancy "O’’.
And the crowning glory (no pun
intended i was the new caps which
go with the outfit. During the
past many years the bandsmen
have been struggling around under
what they have termed "coal scut
tles'’--the "perfectly gorgeous”
shakos over which the girls en
thused and under which the men
sweated and acquired headaches
due to the sheer weight of the cre
ations, not to mention the tip3y
feeling developed from the height
of the things.
The caps are of the dress type,
similar to those used by the state
police, with well-designed lemon
yellow and green “0”s where it
usually says “taxi,” and woven yel
low cords in the place of the con
ventional patent-leather strap.
The entire effect is neat, com
fortable and dressy. The band is
proud of them and pleased by the
substraction of needless pounds of
unwieldy bulk—and the student
body will be able to say with pride,
“There goes OUR band!”

(Please turn to page two)
\ what a swell bunch of guys w?
got here, to warn us against the
E. B. I’s, for how else would we
have known they were practically
on the rocks and owed so much
us. That just goes to show you
dought all over town. One other
thing we forgot to mention too,
was the way they look at all this
rushing business. They said they
are only going to pledge six men
at this time, because they want
to be a little more exclusive than
the rest and said that any outfit
that pledged over 20 guys was go
ing to the dogs, so I guess we
must be just plain lucky, for they
told us last night up there in that
little back room, they took us to
after dinner last night, that they
only had one more room left and
that they had so many guys wait
ing for it, that we had better take
it now or we couldn't even get in.
We really hadn’t planned on
pledging so soon and we weren’t
quite sure what house we liked
the best, but when those eight
guys who took us up there to that
room, and went to so much trouble
to explain everything so nicely,
and made us such a good offer,
they sure most of thought we
were pretty important, and with
such a choice opportunity like
that, we sure did jump fast, be
lieve you me, especially when they
said that the house bill this year
will only be fifty bucks, including
everything, except the interest on
the mortgage, which probably
won’t amount to very much any
how. That sure is cheap as the
dickens, because they said this
house next door to us, Felta Thi,
charges 65 fish and that doesn’t
include the fines either. Well, any
how, after they had put the pin in
our pockets, we sure did feel
proud, because this house has
other chapters all over the darn
country, and in the whole 18 years
since it was founded only 20 of
them have given up their charters,
and that must be pretty good con
sidering that there are over ten of
them still going strong.
Just to give you a small idea of
what bigshots are in the house,
here are just a few of the promi
nent bros. that just about run the
campus. Bro. Joe Blow is Secre
tary of the Debating Club, and is
gunning for the Presidency next
year; while Bro. Handlebar is out
for the chess team and should be
a cinch for second string, during
the winter term. Bro. Guttersnipe
is water-boy on the Rooks’ squad
and is all lined up to handle the
varsity next fall; Bros Zilch &
Squirrellypan, are both practicing
hard on piccolo, and have been
