EUGENE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1938 NUMBER 60 Oliver Gets Oregon Coaching Post !*: Dean Earl Forbids Mill-Racing of Shavers Because of Cold Weather 'Beardless' Sophomores' 'Dunking'Out Whiskerino Contest Punishment Will Not Be Enforced, Rowe Reveals Beardless sophomores are not destined to mill-racing, it was revealed yesterday when the discovery was made that Dean Virgil D. Earl advised that no “dunking” punishments be ad ministered to those who do not conform with Whiskerino con test requirements. Dean Virgil D. Earl was contact ed by one of the sophomore com mittee members and asked for his stand as to mill-racing and at this time Dean Earl explained, "I don’t think it good for any man to go in the race in such zero weather. I disapprove of the danger it might involve as to the health of the victim.” New Punishment Planned A telephone conversation with Paul Rowe, chairman of the “dunk ing" committee, confirmed the re port of the dean’s request. He said, “some other form of punish ment will meet those who do not have beards at the dance Friday evening.” Because of illness the class prexy, Dick Litfin, could not be contacted to furnish more informa tion as to what new type of pun ishment will be “dished out” when the “slackers” are caught. Several years ago the punish ment customary was doled out in the form of hacks on the old library steps. Dr. Boyer ordered this dis continued because of the danger of physical harm to the students. Again last year an attempt was made to revive the hacking custom but the suggestion did not mature.

Two girls were bemoaning the fact that while their classmates had cakes they had none. “But,” one of them said, "if we took ours home, we would have to pack it, and I do mean 'pack’.” “We got some flour that was n’t exactly dry,” said the other by way of explanation.

For many years the University has preferred to b “known as the habitat of Donald Ducks and similar webfooted creatures, but recently several buildings on the campus have found themselves infested with Mic-key Mice. They have been found by many department members to be not nearly so hum orous as the original Mickey, but nonetheless, entertaining. At the news bureau the mice be came so bothersome that ten cents was invested in the purchase of two traps. They were made tempt ing with the proper pieces of cheese, and the conspiracy began. The first mouse to fall under the spell (and smell) of it all became very eager in his attempt he had been starving along on typewrit ten pages and carbon paper for years -and he would let nothing hinder him. Not even the descend ing wire guillotine of the trap could stop him, even after it fell. While wedged in the clamp he proved he still had enough life in him to eat cheese. And he did. Now the problem is: Did the trap kill him? Or was it the cheese? Anyway, he died.
