Rifle Team to Enter
National Tourney
The University men’s rifle team
came through the first elimination
for the national rifle tournament
when they grabbed third place in
the ninth corps area match fired
during the last week of winter
term.
The 1938 ninth corps area cham
pions were topped in the match by
both Washington State college and
University of California at Los
Angeles teams who shot a surpris
ingly high score. Although the
Oregon team fired as high a score
as they did in 1938 when they won
the championship, they only placed
third this year.
However, the third place was
good enough to insure the Oregon
team of a chance to compete in
the national tournament. Sergeant
Harvey G. Blythe, coach of the
Oregon squad, explained that the
top 30 per cent was selected from
each corps area to fire in the na
tional match. Five schools were
selected from the ninth corps area.
They are: Washington State col
lege, University of California at
Los Angeles, University of Oregon,
Oregon State college, and Univer
sity of Washington.

If You've Heard
This One Stop
Us-It Seems...
(Editor's note: This little art
icle, a clipping from the San
Francisco News, was received
by the editor from an anony
mous sender, obviously a Cali
fornian.)
Two university professors
from Oregon were motoring to
San Francisco and a few miles
outside of Sacramento pjjked
up a hitchhiker. As both gentle
men are distinctly on the aca
demic side this was quite an
event in itself. They chatted with
their guest and' found by ques
tioning that he didn’t have a job,
wasn’t on relief or a WPA proj
ect. In fact, he told them, he
was fresh out of Folsom where
he had paid off the state with
18 months for picking pockets.
The professors saw murder and
sudden death ahead and stepped
on the gas to make Sacramento
before dark. Of course a speed
cop got them, and they stepped
out to argue, but not wanting to
admit the cause of their haste,
accepted a ticket and all climbed
aboard again.
Speed tickets were also new
in their lives and they wondered
what to do about it.
“Tear it up, gents,” advised
their passenger.
“No, that would be illegal,”
said one of the professors, “and
anyway the officer has it reg
istered in his book.”
“You can still tear it up,” said
the Folsom alumnus. “I’ve got
the book.”
Sigma Delta Psi to
Start Practice and
Tryouts This Week
Practice for the annual Sigma
Delta Psi national tournament,
which will be held sometime be
tween May 1 and 15, will begin
immediately, according to Russell
Cutler, assistant professor of
physical education and faculty ad
viser for the local chapter.
Students who wish to participate
will not only have the opportunity
to enter the national competition,
Cutler ponited out, but will be able
to pass tests to enter the organiza
tion and win points for intramural
competition in both house and in
dividual competition.
Sigma Delta Psi tryouts for in
door events will be held every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
at 5 o’clock in the equipment room
of the men’s gymnasium, Cutler
announced. The hours for the out
side events will be announced
later.

Elects Dean Onthank
As Vice-President
Karl W. Onthank, dean of per
sonnel at the University, has re
ceived notification of his election
to the vice-presidency of the Am
erican College Personnel associa
tion at the annual meeting of the
group in Cleveland last week.
Dean Onthank, who was unable
to attend the meeting this year,
also served as vice-president of the
organization several years ago.
During the last year he was a
member of the board of directors

nation-wide organization.

Students to Register for
'With Fear and Trembling’
An opportunity to make sure of seats at the ASUO musical comedy
“With Fear and Trembling” to be presented in April, will be extended
to students at registration today, educational activities Director George
Root announced yesterday.
Blanks will be distributed for students to fill in the days on which
they wish to attend the comedy. This has been made necessary, Root
oaiu, uctaunc kjl me unmcu iicai
ing capacity of the University
theater in Johnson hall. Since the
comedy is scheduled for six nights,
only approximately 1200 wul be
able to see the production. Last
year’s "Peer Gynt’’ drew 4000 in
one night.
If students will indicate their
choice of nights, Root pointed out,
the problem of making it possible
for the show to be presented to a
majority of student body members
will be greatly simplified.
An advertising brochure on the
production will be printed up today
and will be distributed over the
campus this week. It pictures the
leading performers as well as sev
eral of the "hoofers" of the com
edy, who show promise of turning
out a performance of “profession
al” quality.

Sports’ Schedules,
Concert to Headline
Variety Show to
Be First Spring
Term ASUO Hop
Dancing and Floor
Show to Provide
Gala Entertainment
An evening with plenty of the
well-known “yumph” in it is in
store for ASUO members Friday
night, according to plans outlined
yesterday for Verdi Sederstrom's
combination dance and variety
show, first ASUO attraction of
spring term.
First, there will be dancing.
That makes it a dance. But it's
also gqfcng to have a floor show,
which makes it more than just a
dance. Furthermore, it will take
place in an Igloo floor surrounded
by tables—maybe that phakes it ft
cabaret.
Whatever it is, it will be some
thing definitely out of the ordinary
in campus offerings. Les Harger,
baton-twirling “drum-majoress” of
football season fame, will run the
show as master of ceremonies,
keeping things moving throughout
the evening.
The floor show itself bids fair
to last at least an hour, although
it is not known if it will be pre
sented all in one unit.
Show to Have Variety
Impersonations, magic acts, a
hot piano-pounding session, sing
ing, vibraharp arrangements, a
martet, specialty dknces, and
naybe even a leg-swinging chorus
vill parade before the crowd one
ifter another.
Another way it’s different is in
ts time. It will probably start at
I o’clock and continue until 11,
vhich leaves time enough to make
a well-rounded evening out of it,
and still allow for plenty of danc
ing.
All in all, it looks like a ban-,
ner evening—and planning is noy
all finished yet. There may be
even more. To non-ASUO mem
bers it will cost 50 cents.
The dance - variety - floor-show
cabaret comes under the classifica
tion of “bonus” attraction, in keep
ing with ASUO policy of the past
four terms. Last term’s offering
was the “Hobson Hobble,” a dance
held the first weekend of the term.
Ad Contest Open
To Oregon Students
An opportunity for students of
Oregon to take a fling at ad writ
ing will be extended this week by
the Grabow pipe company, who
will award a set of six pipes as1
prize for the best ad written by
an Oregon student.
Entries in the contest should be
the same size as the ad appearing
in today's issue of the Emerald,
and should be turned in to YV. F. G.
Thacher, contest judge, before
April 3. Hal Haener, business man
ager, and Paul Deutschmann, edi
tor, will assist Professor Thadher
in judging.
The winning ad will be published
in the April 10 issue of the Em
erald.
GODFREY TO SPEAK
George H. Godfrey, head of the
University news bureau, will ad
dress the members of the Ameri
can College Publicity association,
Friday, at their annual banquet in
Portland on "Selling the Faculty
on the Value of Publicity.”
Student Body and
Class Officers Need
Cards; All-Campus
Musical Cheaper
Built up in importance by
the specter of approaching
spring elections and appoints
ments, and sustained by such
pillars as baseball, Igor Gorin,
and the new and smart campus
musical, the ASUO cards which
about 1500 undergrads will buy
this morning will be the latest
thing in spring fashions.
The first living organization to
go 100 per cent will draw free tick
ets to the campus musical, “With
Fear and Trembling” for the entire
house, while Medoland creamery
will furnish desserts or ice cream
to the first 12 organizations to
get into the 100 per cent column, it
was announced Saturday by Etlian
Newman, assistant educational
activities manager.
Officeholders Need Cards
Practically indispensable to can
didates, would-be officeholders,
and appointees, the cards go on
sale at a time when the pre-elec- •
tion fever is already beginning to
agitate the campus dwellers. Of
course elections are more than a
month away, but anyone who
waits until election time to buy
will be throwing values away in
the face of all good Ben Franklin
thrift traditions.
With a program which covers
one out of every three days in the
term, not counting days when
more than one event occurs, the
current ASUO lineup wraps itself
around campus life like a heavy
fog, getting into all the comers.
The card is heavily salted with
sports attractions, as usual in
spring, but sports are not left by
themselves to carry the entire bur
den.
‘Varieties’ Planned
Number one on the list, in order
of time, is Friday night’s pepper
pot mixture of dance, floor show,
and varieties. Verdi Sederstrom,
again this term’s drive chairman,
L promoting the affair, which is
likely to start a brand new trend
in campus events. This saves the
ASUO card holder 50 cents.
Outstanding musical attraction
of the term is Igord Gorin, favorite
baritone of the coast and of many
parts of the world. Gorin comes to
McArthur court a week from Wed
nesday as the second number on
the ASUO program. Known to
listeners wherever there is radio,
Gorin, although still a young man,
is no new figure but is rather a
familiar voice now brought closer
to home.
More Pennants Wanted
Baseball leads the sport parade,
with track whooping in with a
photo finish beside the diamond
game. Howard Hobson, fresh from
Oregon’s most successful basket
ball season in 20 years, will set his
sights on another northern division
baseball tiara with a returning
lineup of veterans plus some good
transfers to blast rival horsehide
all over the lot. The usual number
of home varsity and frosh games
is listed on the calendar.
In track George Varoff, cham
pion pole vaulter, goes into his
last term of varsity eligibility,
fresh from the Treasure Island in
vitational meet with Kirm Storli,
