The
SHOW
OFF
By BOY METZLEB
The European war, although a
big blow to the motion picture in
dustry, has proven to be a break
for those studios who have recent
ly completed war pictures. As
timeliness plays a large part in
theater attendance, war pictures
are certain to be of interest at the
present time.
Metro’s “Thunder Afloat” is do
ing way over predicted box office
business. This is a submarine-chas
ing story with Wallace Beery,
Chester Morris, and Virginia Grey
in the leading roles. Twentieth
Century-Fox has two pictures with
a war background, “Pack Up Your
Troubles,” with Jane Withers and
the Ritz brothers. It pokes fun at
the World War, with the comical
Ritz trio walking into a German
camp by mistake. Through their
antics and with the help of young
Miss Withers, they uncover import
ant German secrets and receive
bravery crosses.
Fox also has "20,000 Men a
Year,” which is still before the
camera. Starring Randolph Scott
and Mary Healy, this flicker does
not concern the European war, but
depicts how the United States is
training 20,000 men a year to be
come airplane pilots to protect
American shores.
Chaplin or Adolf?
Charlie Chaplin’s “The Dictator”
will be of interest to everyone if
he starts production and finishes
the picture before the war ends.
In this film, Chaplin takes the part
of a Jewish tailor who doubles for
Hitler and then double-crosses him
at an international convention,
averting another world war. Due
to the department of state, Chap
lin will probably turn the picture
into a tragedy and cheat the little
tailor of his triumph. Italy’s good
behavior will force him to tone
down his satirical representation
of Mussolini.
When Ginger Rogers refused
dancing roles and demanded that
she be given parts where she could
“act,” critics unanimously agreed
that her picture career was over.
They soon found out however, that
Ginger could “act" as well as
dance and with pictures such as
“Vivacious Lady,” "Stage Door,”
and “Bachelor Mother” she was
classed as top-flight actress.
UUIgll S
Her latest picture, “Fifth Ave
nue Girl,” is an hilarious comedy
in which she has the solo starring
role. A stellar supporting cast in
cludes Walter Connolly, James El
lison, Veree Teasdale, Franklin
Pangborn, and Tim Holt.
i'Fifth Avenue Girl” is a screen
play about a sidewalk Cinderella
who is paid a salary to upset a
millionaire household. Walter Con
nolly is the lonely millionaire
whose wife and children regard
him only as a walking checkbook.

RANKS OF
ROTC HIT
NEW HIGH
Nearly 1000 Don
Uniforms to Learn
New Army Tactics;
Two Classes Added
By BOB McGILL
If there is any truth to the an
cient adage that a maiden's heart
beats faster when a uniform passes
by, feminine pulses race madly on
Wednesdays as almost a thousand
ROTC students turned out for uni
form drill. Brass buttons, belts and
shoes gleamed all over the campus,
with hardly any freshmen or soph
omores in civilian clothes.
Officers Handsomest
Handsomest of all are the 100
juniors and seniors in their new,
tailored uniforms, with trim grey
trousers, olive drab coats and of
ficer caps. They are heavily out
numbered, though, by the freshmen
and sophomores in their olive
drabs. Largest group of all are the
freshmen, 600 strong, and feeling
very conspicuous in their newly
acquired uniforms.
Small Uniforms
According to Joseph Pfeiffer,
ROTC storekeeper, not all the
freshmen have secured uniforms
yet. An unprecedented demand for
small-size uniforms have emptied
the store’s racks, but 250 more
have been requisitioned from thee
United States government and will
arrive shortly.
The United States drill regula
tions and the manual of arms have
been changed considerably this
year, meaning that the older stu
dents must learn much of their
tactics over again.
To speed the movement of
troops, the new drills are simpli
fied. Squads left, squads right, and
right about have been eliminated.
The arms manual has been stream
lined by omitting one step in the
shoulder arms drill. With these
new regulations, the freshmen will
find it easier to learn the drills
than before.
Colonel Robert M. Lyon, com
mander of the University ROTC,
was enthusiastic about the new
“This new class,” he said, “is
showing more good spirit and more
willingness to cooperate than any
I have ever seen. I am highly opti
mistic for this class, and 1 think
that we will win even more laurels
than we did last year.”
For the first time the military
department has adopted a standard
shoe for uniform wear. The shoe
is a trim, serviceable tan oxford,
suitable for campus wear as well
as for drill. This shoe is suggested
by the department, though not re
quired.
In the upperclass division, fifty
juniors have been accepted for ad
vanced military training. The gov
ernment allotment for advanced
[ students has been raised this year
to 100 men, compared to last
j year’s 84. These juniors will soon
| make their appearance on the cam
pus in the tailored uniforms furn
I ished by the government.
He meets Ginger Rogers on a park
bench in Central park and after
visiting all the night spots in New
York, he takes her home to his
family. Ginger acts as a menace to
their carefree existence and makes
the spoiled wife and two grown-up
children give some attention to
their husband and father. Ginger
unites the spoiled and selfish fam
ily in a film that is packed with
comedy, fast-moving romance, and
dramatic scenes. “Fifth Avenue
Girl" is a good 75 minutes worth of
entertainment and will appear at
the Heilig theater soon.

Show Large
Increase
Eastern College
Leads Six State
Schools' Roster
Showing a gain of 21.6 per cent
in enrollment, the Eastern Oregon
College of Education led the schools
of the Oregon State System of
Higher Education in a parade of
increase for the fall term that saw
a new all-time peak of 9,219 stu
dents registered, in the six schools
of the state system. This figure
surpasses last year's mark of 8,612
by seven per cent.
A summary just issued from the
office of the chancellor states that
official records show the combined
student bodies, when fall registra
tion is completed, will almost dou
ble the registration of 1933-31,
during the peak of the “depres
sion," when only 5,227 students
were registered at the six institu
tions. Complete fall term registra
tion will not be available for sonic
time because of the delayed en
rollment of graduate students.
Oregon State college registered
4,384, surpassing by mor than a
thousand the University’s mark of
£342.
The Oreon College of Education
recorded 472, and the Eastern and
Southern Oregon colleges enrolled
327 and 275 respectively. At the
Oregon Medical school in Portland,
where registration is restricted,1
the total dropped to 419, a de
creased of 2.8 per cent.
Although falling behind Oregon
State in total number registered,
Oregon surpassed the “northern
branch'’ in percentage of increase
chalking up an 8.3 per cent figure
over the Beavers’ 5.4 increase per
centage. Oregon was also above
the state system average by 1.3
per cent.
More Men Here
Women surpassed the men on
the Oregon campus in percentage
of gain, but fell far behind in total
numbers which read 2159 to 1346
in favor of the men.
Contrary to popular opinion, the
freshman class, though it passed
the estimated mark by 61, is not
the largest class. The sophomores
ran up a total of 1283 to gain a
plurality over the first-year group.
The large amount of students in
the sophomore class is due to the
fact that all those who have not
yet received their junior certifi
cates receive sophomore rating.
The school of arts and letters re
corded the greatest departmental
increase with the enrollment jump
set at 23 per cent, which surpasses
the architecture and allied arts
school, early registration leaders,
total by 2 per cent. The school of
social science signed exactly the
same number as last year.

“The number of art students
has increased so much this year,”
sighs Dean Lawrence, “that we
don’t know what to do with the
problem. At this time last year
there were' 270 students; this
year wre have 320. The lower
floor of the home economics
plant may be used for some of
the art classes.”
A large percentage of the stu
dents are from states other than
Oregon with Maine, Texas, Illi

tributing their share. Even from
far-away Honolulu have some
pupils come. ,
SnakeWithTwo
Heads Shown
J. E. Herbertson, instructor of
zoology, has on display at Deady
hall a two-hsaded snake. It is of
the common variety garden snake,
about six inches long, and was
found near Portland by two zool
ogy students. Snakes with two
heads are comparatively rare and
Mr. Herbertson hopes to keep this
snake alive with ants and flies.
The distinct feature of this snake
is that there is every indication
that the divergence begins in the
pelvic region although dissension
is not evident at any place but the
head. It is quite possible that the
snake has an extra,set of organs.
It has two brains, each of which
functions separately, but only one
spinal column. Mr. Herbertson
plans to make an extensive study
of the nervous system of this queer
two-head'ed snake.
