Hancr Up the Band Instruments—It’s All Off
INVOLVED is no name for (lie situation in
which the University of Oregon band finds
itself today, no nearer Seattle than ever.
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.

Behind the
With JACK BRYANT
ANOTHER weekend like the
last one and there won’t be any
one left for class. The Phi Psi
Chi Psi classic left a few sores.
. . . The Sports Staff-Trainers
thriller caused headaches among
the managers. . . . But the house
dances incapacitated the great
er number. . . . Then the Phi

either . . . Everyone seemed to
have a good time . . .

THRILLER game of the year
was the traditional battle of the
sports staff and trainers. ... It
proved that not only does the
sports staff hold a decided verb
al edge but also can put their
theories into practice as they
smeared the poorly trained
trainers 13 to 0, Sunday morn
ing. Led by “I’m a Sweetheart”
Pasero, who sparked the scribes
with sensational losses, the
writers dominated the entire
field. . . . 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. ... It
was at this time that the tide
turned loose as several barrels
of water went their way merrily
down to meet the upcoming in
vaders. . . .
Humored!

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.”

Ducks to Dance;
At Turkey Hop
—
College pep songs and a holiday
spirit will be features of Satur
day night’s Oregon-themed “Tur
key Hop” at the Uptown ballroom
in Portland.
Bill Mozet's orchestra, current i
attraction at the Uptown, will pro-;
vide the music for the collegians' i
get-together.
Cover charge will be 80 cents
for Ducks who gather for their |
mid-vacation celebration at the
Portland ballroom.
the pioneer—some solemnly, some
blatantly irreverent.
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.
