Roadman’s Song Hit
Goes Into Big Time
'I've Found Something New in You,' From
Campus Show 'With Fear and Trembling/
Expected to Go Places
Net just snatches of the song, but the entire score of Wilfred
Roadman’s song hit, “I’ve Found Something New In You” is available
to students today at Wilson's music store, according to Ethan New
man, assistant educational activities director.
The Los Angeles publisher also released the song for sale in Port

Reach Amicable
Date Agreement
Exchange of Days
, Agreed Upon to
Secure Orchestra
Because frosh chairmen can ob
tain an orchestra for their annual
Frosh Glee only on April 22, AWS
officials last night agreed to take
the date scheduled for the Glee,
April 15, for their annual spring
carnival, and allow the neophytes
to hold their dance on April 22.
The social calendar issued at
the beginning of the term named
the weekend of April 15, not only
as the date for the “Li’l Abner”
dance of the class of '42, but also
for the spring rush week in honor
of high school seniors planning to
attend the University next fall.
When Bill Loud and Walker
Treece, frosh dance heads, found
it impossible to obtain an orches
tra for that date, they met with
Barbara Pierce and Janet Goresky,
^ AWS carnival chairmen, and from
that meeting came the announce
ment that the girls’ organization
will move their affair up one week
end to April 15, allowing freshmen
to entertain the campus on April
22.
Arrangements are now under
way through the offices of the
deans of men and women to change
the official rush weekend to the
22nd, so that it may be in agree
ment with the frosh dance.

Deplores Grinding
That "Grand Old Man" of Amer
ican literature, Booth Tarkington,
whose years will number three
score and ten this August, strikes
a note of discouragement for mid
night oil burners.
A graduate of Princeton in 1893,
Tarkington declares, "I went to
Princeton with the sincere and
laudible intention of working very
hard there. Happily for myself, I
didn't, and if I were to repeat my
course, I hope that I would be sen
sible enough to work no harder
than absolutely necessary."

the score will go on sale at the
University Co-op store, and at
Washburne’s, making the song
which has become so popular on
the campus since the “Dance of
Champs” more than a mere snatch
of melody on the lips of those who
danced to it Friday night.
Bunds Will ‘Plug'
Major dance bands from Los
Angeles to Seattle are making ar
rangements to “plug” the song at
broadcasts and dancing spots.
Following the precedent of the
annual University of Pennsylvania
"Mask and Wig” show and the
Princeton club show, which con
tribute songs once a year to the
hit parade of swing-conscious Am
erica, the University of Oregon (
musical comedy is expected to add
“I've Found Something New In
You” to the list of popular jitter
tunes.
Holman Handles Music
Such "big names” as George Ol

Phil Harris at the Wiltshire Bowl,
and Archie Loveland at the Olym
pci hotel in Seattle will “send”
this first publication released from
the Oregon show before the actual
opening of the comedy in the John
son hall theater on April 17.
Art Holman and his orchestra
will handle the musical background
for the 14 new songs of the “With
Fear and Trembling” productions,
under the co-direction of Horace
Robinson and Wilfred Roadman.
Change or Adjust,
YW Freshman Told
If there is any possible way of
changing an undesirable situation,
one should do it, but if this is
impossible, one should adjust him
self to the situation, accepting it
graciously, Sally (Mrs. Eric W.)
Allen told a roomful of freshman
YWCA members at a Tuesday af
ternoon meeting. She was intro
duced by Elna Johnson, frosh com
mission president.
Mrs. Allen in speaking on “Growl
ing Up,” commented on the pro
cess of growing from babyhood
to maturity and the way in which
some people seem to grow faster
than others, and others when they
are grown seem definitely retard
ed. Her talk was illustrated with
many anecdotes and illustrations.
Three cans of popcorn were
served as refreshments.

Europe.”
Knows His ‘Stuff’
In close contact with the British
government heads, and a witness
to the Czech occupation of Ger

Dean of Personnel Karl W. On
thank yesterday “one of the most
interesting men we could bring to

Dr. Ballard to Talk
At Vespers Today
4:30 All-U Service
Is Foremost Holy
Week Observance
Chief Holy Week observance on
the Oregon campus is scheduled
for today, when Dr. J. Hudson
Ballard, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church of Portland,
speaks to an all-University vesper
service audience in the music
building at 4 :30.
John Stark Evans of the Univer
sity music department will play an
organ recital of Easter music as
a prelude to the service.
Dr. Ballard, for many years a
college professor and writer, ar
rived yesterday from Portland,
and will speak at several classes
and religious meetings before
leaving tomorrow. Today he is be
ing entertained by church groups
on the campus.
Among the books accredited to
the Portland minister are “Spirit,
Body and Soul” and “The Inferior

Special Army Officer Gives
ROTC Men Physical Exam
As genial and courteous as a
southern gentleman, without the
southerner’s pomp, formality and
stiffness, is Lieutenant - Colonel
Henry L. Krafft of the medical
corps, who was on the campus yes
terday.
Lieutenant-Colonel Krafft was
here to give the physical examina
tions to the graduating ROTC stu
dents who have applied for en
hance into the army under the
I rovisions of the Thomason act of
1335.
Being a decidedly small man, he
loc ks like almost anything but an
army officer. However, his appear
ance matches well with his char
acteristics.
This is the second year that Lt.
Col. Krafft has been appointed the
examining officer for the Thoma
son Act applicants at Oregon and
Oregon State.
He enjoys doing this task, he
says, and likes to deal with the
University ROTC officers. He
pointed out that he found them, as
a group, to be in unusually fine
physical condition. However, they
hue need to be, he said, for the test
which they must pass to be con
sidered for entrance in the army,
is “quite stringent.”
This test is a protection, not
only to the government but to the
student, he maintained. It would
be a costly procedure for both par
ties to send a man to an army post
and find out there that he was
rot in fit physical condition for
the strenuous army life, he pointed
out.
Lt. Col. Krafft will examine the
applicants at Oregon State college
today.
Two Students

windshield, fenders and front
end. Both students were able to
climb from the wreck after per
sons attracted by the noise
l ighted the car.

Rabbit Fur Sale
Not to Be Made
Dean's Duty
Hero is a new problem for the
dean of women. It seems that in
addition to the regular problems
assigned to ttiis more than busy
person, there comes a letter in
the mail from a man asking her
to help him sell his rabbit pelts.
He said that his rabbit skins
were just the kind that college
girls wore in their fur coats and
that he would sell for the modest
price of $1.50 for the average
piece of fur but $2 would be the
price for the longer napped kind.
According to word from Miss
Dodds, assistant in the dean’s
office, Dean Scliwering is not
going to take on the business as
it was suggested.
Positive Peak
Seen for Spring
Term Enrollment
Hoopmen to Swell
Total; Fee Record
Due Soon Also
With a 2997 spring term regis
tration figure piled up yesterday
in the office of C. L. Constance,
assistant registrar, officials there
forecast that by tonight the first
3,000 spring term enrollment in
the University's history would be
placed on record.
Not only will this 3,000 figure
set a new high for spring term
registration, but it will also be the
first time in Webfoot history that
over 2900 students have paid their
fees for spring term instruction.
Year’s Gain Seen
A survey completed yesterday of
the enrollment figures for the
whole year showed that there have
been, up until two weeks after the
opening of this term, 3640 stu
dents registered here at sometime
during the year. This mark is a
six per cent gain over last year's
record at this time of the school
year of 3461.
Averaging increases for the
three terms, Constance found that
the school of education has gained
the greatest percentage of new
members, with 21 per cent more
education majors listed than last
year. Close on their heels is the
physical education department,
with a 19 per cent rise recorded.
.Journalism Drops
Present figures give the jour
nalism school the largest percent
age of decrease in enrollment, with
a seven per cent loss in majors
noted. The law school with a five
per cent downward slope in enroll
ment, was the only other school
to register fewer majors than last
year.
The 3,000 figure forecast by
Constance yesterday was based on
the fact that only one of the 1939
basketball team have yet turned
in their registration material.
OFFICERS ANNOUNCED

Delta Phi, law society, were an
nounced yesterday by Sheldon
Parks, new president of the or
ganization.
