Frosh Glee to Bring Band Direct from Drake Hotel Radio fans and dance lovers need no introduction to Dick Jurgens, the personable young orchestra leader who brings his well-known band and entertainers to the Igloo on March 29 to play for the Frosh Glee. Jurgens and his orchestra recently completed a record-breaking engagement of sixteen weeks at the famous Gold Coast room of the Drake hotel in Chicago, four weeks at the Gibson hotel, Cincinnati, and is familiar to Portland stu-j dents for his dance music at Jant-J zen Beach. Dick began his musical career with cornet lessons at the age of, seven. He had trouble with his breathing during the first two years, and invariably ended his practice with an earache . . . said he blew too hard. During its formative period, Dick’s band featured the maestro on first trumpet. Immediately fol lowing an automobile accident four years ago, it appeared as though Dick would be unable to ever play the trumpet again. However, he has again developed a strong lip and according to his fellow musi cians, is better than ever. Dick finished three years at col lege, Sacramento, played end on ^he football team for two seasons, ,majored in music and received all “A’s” in his music courses, was accepted into two national music honor societies, wrote “D a y . dreams Come True at Night” when he had time to create an original work in order to pass a final ex amination, and uses the number as his present signature.

KORE from 9:30 on. “Romance in the Dark’’ and “Love, Honor and Behave” are the . two features starting this after noon at the McDonald. The former is a sing show with a cast headed by Gladys Swartout, John Boles, and John Barrymore. Plot: Gladys Swartout is a talented j but inexperienced singer who gets a job in the home of John Boles, famous baritone. Boles decides to 1 build her up as a great singer so that his manager, John Barrymore, I will fall in love with her. Seems that Manager Barrymore has a tendency to shower his enamours on the same girl friends as Boles; and the baritone decides this is a good chance to detour his manager. But when Miss Swartout develops into a top singer, Boles feels the love bug sting. “Love, Honor and Behave” is the story of a married couple, Wayne Morris and Priscilla Lane, whose marital life is in troubled Waters until Morris turns he-man and beats up on wifie. Snapshots: The Swartout picture is famed because of a tomato-tossing scene which was deleted after being pre viewed by a trial audience. The picture now shows the tomatoes merely being thrown at Miss Swartout with none hitting her. R. C. Clark Asked To Criticize Book Professor R. C.

Fewer Windows — Less Work, Is Wish of Supervisor Foote “I wish all the buildings on the campus were like the art museunt —without windows,” recently stated A. H. Foote, supervisor of Univer sity buildings. Mr. Foote’s declaration was brought forth as he was quizzed on the frequency of window washing in campus structures. Janitors in each building are in charge of washing the windows, Mr. Foote said, and they do a good job of it, too, in his opinion. No definite schedule of washing is set, although all windows are washed two or three times a year. Ground floor windows are generally done much more often, sometimes once a month. The bosun’s chair,” a technical term for a scaffolding which can be attached to window sills, is used only on higher windows, such as those in Gerlinger hall, Mr. Foote said. Most windows are washed from the inside. University records remain clear of any casualties from falls or in juries to window washers, and also, from windows broken as they are washed. Windows are broken, how ever, Mr. Foote added, quite often, and mainly by students throwing things at them. The hardest bit of window wash ing is the skylight in Johnson hall, Mr. Foote said. There it is neces sary to remove the glass and dry clean it, while other windows are cleaned with Bon Ami and a solu*< tion called blue fax. How many windows are there on the campus? This innocent sound ing question has, apparently, no answer except in the architectural, plans of the buildings. “But I’ll, give you a rough idea,” Mr. Foote concluded, “there are 110 in the stacks of the law library alone.” Have you tried our j Take-Along SUNDAE j The LEMON-0 Cor. 13th & Alder, Ph. 2717 There’s a Reason why so many Oregon students phone for their Laundry and Dry Cleaning Service For superior work, call— New Service Laundry Ml SOUTH HOW OLD ARE ‘f THESE ARE ONLY THE ALLIGATORS ON YOUR FARM, 40 YEARS OLD, MISS CHUBBINJS.
