Friday night its yes-no on the trip de pended upon the number of students who were going to the game; it was officially feared that only a few would make the 1 rip. Athletic Manager Atise Cornell slated that an infinitesimal number had signed for the special train. Earlier in the week d. 0. Liudstrom, Uni versity business manager, had said the hoard might find a way even though the item was not in the budget of the athletic board ; at the same time Cornell said he/had not heard from the band on the subject, but that there was plenty of possibility. Last night the thing seemed settled when Band Director John Stohn declared the deal was off, that only 200 students had signed for game tickets, not enough to warrant sending a hand. fcJtehn said the athletic board had turned thumbs down on the trip for this reason. # * # JJOWEVER, lliree members of the board muddled the situation slightly by con fessing they did not know about it, and that no board meeting had boon held to their knowledge. Neither had they been polled. Lindstrom, who controls the purse strings, was one. The fact Unit complications did set in makes little difference in the long run, if must be admitted. Whether the board meets to con sider it or not, if only a handful of students intend to spend Thanksgiving afternoon in Seattle grandstands there is no point to send ing a band to go it alone, unless one could now argue they will be needed more than ever. Kor five years the band has never missed a Washington game, annually a colorful, fiery affair. This year seems to break the charm. Bear Traps for Pocketbooks rjpiIE further fall term moves along toward the finish line and the more winter be gins to tighten its grip the more apparent it becomes that seasonal thievery in living or ganizations is going great guns. Just who is doing this rifling will prob ably never be known, in most eases, at least. Few of the guilty are ever caught. Sometimes it is an inside job; more often it is not. At any rate plenty of cash and other valuables move out without the knowledge or consent of the owners. Sometimes it even looks like a well organized job, a systematic going-over of all houses. This sort of thing makes good""headway under the conditions it runs into among col lege living organizations, where carelessness with cash and property is the rule rather than the exception. Doors seldom get locked; in deed, the inconvenience thus caused might be more irksome than some of the loss. Also there is easy access at any time to almost any part of any organization. For long periods houses are unprotected, as at meals and during the sleeping hours, when group activity gathers members and lakes them away from the cen ter of things. The general use of sleeping porches contributes somewhat to the defense lessness of living organizations. To expect the authorities to cope with such a problem is like the old greased pig trick. They cannol stop it alone. Multiply the police force by a hundred and the job would still be too big under conditions so ideal for organized thievery or otherwise. The situation t here fore seems to call for preventative mea sures from 1 he individual. # * # IjRKADY more prosperous individuals have eased their apprehensions somewhat by installing loeks on dresser drawers, on elosel doors, on room doors. It is sound busi ness for anyone to have at least one place available where anythin" valuable can. he stored solely at any lime, then to make use of it. 1’crimps the most important precaution of uH is to cut down on the amount of cash in the old sock. Cash is after all what the thieves would rather have than anythin" else. It is easiest to liquidate, most difficult to trace. Those who like to wear their wallets well padded with the Ion" green should lake care not to leave it around where it could he easily lifted. Winter thievery is not peculiar to this cam pus. It is general not only on other campuses Iml also throughout the country, as countless I'oliee forces will testify. And it is difficult to stamp out. The easiest way to heat this petty pilfer Ju" is to make the responsibility rest with the individual to take better care of his per sonal treasury. That will probably do the trick, until they start driving trucks up to the front doors for their hauls. m SPECIAL Trains-BARGAIN Fares for THANKSGIVING A PORTLAND A Wednesday, November 22 SPECIAL TRAIN-3:30 P.

Only fly in their soup was Sally Mitchell’s Jim Buck, a trainer who looked good on the first play. * * # BATTLE raged furiously around the Phi Sig house Sun day as the pledges ousted two men and Frank Hitchcock and held down the fort till 11 that night. Hitchcock, still in Jiis night wear at 4 p.m , was thrown out the front door. His clothes followed shortly. ... As the tide of battle began to turn the members gained entrance and stared up the stairs. ...

Gold Mines Visited on Geology Field Trip “An especially interesting field trip” was the report of the geology students who visited the Bohemian mining region last Saturday. The group was allowed to go underground in some of the mines and observe various types of min erals in their natural state. They also got an extremely clear idea of mountain building structure and the way the minerals are extracted from the mines. A number'of specimens were col lected by the students including samples of pyrite, also known as "fool’s gold,” calcite and a mineral which is characterized by an inter locking crystal. Some of the advanced students went far up in the mine to where the ore has been worked recently and were able to see a vein of gold. Because of the excellent weath er, the view was unusually good and from some of the higher van tage points it was possible to see major landmarks in Washington, Oregon, and California. Mount Hood, Mount Shasta, and Mary's Peak, which is on the coast range, were easily seen. The rim of Cra ter lake and Spencer’s butte were also visible. Young People (Continued from page one) "Our company is very temper amental, of course,” continued Mr. Kirstein. "They’re so full of energy, so emotional, that if they have no audience to play to they play to each other. But that is all it ever amounts to, it’s never serious." Mr. Kirstein went on to give an interesting and inclusive history of ballet, tracing it from its origin in Italy through France and final ly to America in 1S50. Styles Affect Ballet He pointed out the effects of costumes and architecture on bal let. The long dresses of the 17th century resulted in the ignoring of leg vocabulary. Small buildings ac counted for small gestures in those days. Whereas some dances are meant to be done, ballet, which comes from the Italian word "danced song." is spectacular and meant to be seen. Mr. Kirstein is the author of sev eral books, among them “Dance History," "Blasted Ballet,” and his most recent, "Ballet Alphabet.” -1 J L J l^J LJ L^J LU LJ LiJ UJ liJ LiJ liiJ liJ liij liJ a LiJ liJ liJ Qil [HJ CJ CJ UU LU llil liJ UJ liU l=J t^J liU UJ12JITJ l^J Lta UU liJ 1X1ITJ CJITJ LJ Uy V SUBSCRIBE TO THE EMERALD for the folks at home Details of everything that happens on the campus Only $2.25 per year Phone the Emerald today or mail coupon Herbert Anderson, Circulation Manager.

Fog Fails to Dampen (Continued from pcujc one) More serious, but still poking fun, was the “Billy the Kid” num ber.

Billy Fails The real fault lay in the inter pretation of Billy himself, who was made neither the symbol of pioneer lawlessness he was compelled to be, nor the one-sided shadow that many of the ballet figures were. The death of Billy had none of the climactic power that could have been realized. The program notes describing a series of events in the gradual development of Billy’s character were not fully carried out in the descriptive movements of the people of the times, who re created for the audience a series of historic moods and memories. Standouts in “Billy the Kid” were three hippy girls in tights, representing varying degrees of the “oomph" that lured prospectors into the saloons last century, and a funny little fellow in tight char treuse panties who kept scooting across the stage like a coed on her way to take a long distance tele phone call from her boy friend. The musical score was good, but the dance hall sequences smacked of little of the lackadaisical spirit of the sotted pianist of that day. Human Lamp Popular Humorous and impish, Trixie, younger sister of “The Debutante,” with a lamp chimney and .shade on her head, garnered most of the at tention in the third ballet. Al though the music was taken from a number of American themes, it was primarily mid-European in style and tempo of a quarter-cen tury ago. By measurement of audi ence response, one might say that the final “Charade” was the best liked, but this may have been due to the fact that it was the last on the program. The American Ballet Caravan was a trifle, but as has been said before, it was an amusing one. College Hygiene RULE No. 1 ^ * ■s* >-!
