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.

“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.

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.”
