A Miss Dunham Tells
Of Cycling Trips
Through Europe
I By RAY SCHRIOK
Dancing the Big Apple may be
out of date in American ballrooms,
but it still has its interesting
points when enacted under that
certain Venetian atmosphere.
Those who don't believe this can
ask Patricia Dunham, American
youth hosteler, who recently re
turned to this country after a
three month’s cycling trip through
Europe.
Miss Dunham addressed a group
I of Oregon hostelers in Gerlinger
i hall last night and described ex
! periences on the continent that
ranged all the way from the afore
said Big Apple swing in St. Mark’s
square, Venice, to an enforced “es
cape” from Rumania by crawling
under the gate at the interna
tional border.
This latter was really “all a mis
take,” she explained. The border
official had lost his key and em
barrassedly allowed the hostelers
to crawl under the gate into Po
lish territory. Miss Dunham was
in Paris, the last lap of her trip,
when the European war broke out
in September.
“Five air raid signals were
sounded while we were in Paris,”
she related. “At first it was rather
frightening, but we soon made up
our mind we would have to be
come used to them. It was surpris
ing to see how calmly people be
gan carrying their gas m^sks.
They just took them as a regular
course.”
Budapest Beautiful
Most beautiful city visited on
the trip, according to Miss Dun
ham, was Budapest. She described
the many cobblestone streets, and
explained that there were two
parts, Buda, the older section, and
Pest, the newer addition.
“About the biggest disappoint
ment,” she revealed, “was the dis
covery that the beautiful, blue
Danube was a murky gray instead
of its ‘advertised’ color. It was
very beautiful, nevertheless, and
especially with the lights shining
on it at night.”
“Poland’s roads were mainly
cow paths and holes,” she ex
plained. “We talked to one former
I Canadian in Krakow who said at
that time that this would be of big
advantage to the Poles in the com
t ing fight against Germany. Re
sults since then have shown that
it was of little avail, however. The
same person told us Poland would
hold off Germany,” she added.
Actual cycling on the trip cov
ered approximately 1,000 miles.
Miss Dunham said that living
costs were so low in Europe that
students traveled for not more
than $1.00 per day, and that in
Poland, a person could livfe quite
comfortably on 32 cents a day.
Wherever possible, the group lived
in youth hostels.
Since her return Miss Dunham
has been hosteling in New Eng
land and is addressing various
groups on the coast. She lives in
Seattle and her sister, Margaret
Dunham, is district field worker
for Pacific coast hostels.
Pi Kcips' Theme
Grooved on Wax
By Dick Powell
Pi Kappa Alpha received good
news from Hollywood.
Dick Powell, singing screen
star, was so impressed with the
new sweetheart song, “May I
Speak My Heart,” that Mar
jorie Weaver and her stand-in,
Judy Parks, wrote for the Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity, that
he made a transcription record
ing for the collegians at his own
expense and donated it to the
chapter at the University of
Southern California to make
copies for other chapter houses.
Previously tha “Dream Girl
of Pi Kappa Alpha” had been re
corded by Frances Langford in
a similar manner.
Nickel Hop Time
Cut for Frosh;
GPAs Are Cause
The upperclassmen had
planned to be real nice to the
freshmen but the dean’s office
took one look at the frosh mid
term GPA and said “no."
Margaret Young and Barbara
Banford, co-chairmen for the
Nickel Hop Thursday, November
30, planned to have the annual
AWS scholarship fund dance
from 7 until 9:30 with freshmen
allowed date permission until
10:30.
But those first year mid-term
grades!
So it was decided that boys
with their pockets full of nickels
may visit girls' living organiza
tions and slide on their hard
wood from 6 to 8.
Turnbull
Feted for 22
Years’ Work
Banquet Ducats to
Be Purchased at
Journalism Office
By LARRY QITINLTN
Arrangements were rapidly
whipping into shape for the Sigma
Delta Chi banquet to be held at
the Anchorage December 2 in hon
of George Turnbull, professor of
journalism, according to reports at
yesterday's SDX meeting. Invita
tions have been mailed to promi
nent northwest journalists, to
former SDX members, to all Ore
gon deans, and to faculty mem
bers who have been on the campus
more than 20 years.
$1 a Plate
Tickets at $1 a plate went on
sale last night, and may be pur
chased from Miss L. R. Davis in
the office of the journalism school.
The banquet will be limited to 120
guests, so tickets should be re
served early, SDX President
George Pasero announced.
Professor George Turnbull, loved
and respected by the many stu
dents who have learned their jour
nalism under him, is being hon
ored for two reasons—first, be
cause he has taught at the Uni
versity 22 years, and second, be
cause he has found time during
his teaching to write his “History
of Oregon Newspapers.”
The banquet will coincide with
the publication of his interesting
550-page book, soon to be releasee
for sale by Binford & Mort, Port
land publishers.
Guest speaker will be Harris
Ellsworth, publisher of the Rose
burg News-Review. Mr. Ells
worth, class of '22, was manage!
of the Emerald and later a mem
ber of the journalism school fac
ulty. •

Ten Students Will
Be Added to Rolls
Of Pilot Classes
" " - ...i.
Ten students will be added to
the civilian pilot training- course
sponsored by the federal govern
ment this week to make a total of
50 students enrolled.
The additional 10 will come from
the ranks of the "sitters-in” who
started the course without credit
in the hopes ,that if someone
dropped out, they could take the
absentee’s place and complete the
course. They will be selected Wed
nesday.
Carlton E. Spencer, director of
the training, received a telegram
from Grove Webster, chief of the
private flying development divi
sion, Washington, D.C., advising
him of the allotment. The increase
was made because of the success
with which the work has been or
ganized and carried on, it was
noted.
Professor Spencer has received
letters of commendation from Mr.
Webster and Leslie A. Walker,
chief of the vocational section of
the federal department for the effi
cient way the organization has
been carried on. Wiley R. Wright,
senior private fyling specialist,
also praised the work.
This gives the University one of
the largest grants per capita for
any college in the United States.
One hundred seventy-six applica
tions were received for the class
before its beginning.
Baby Girl for Grads

e attempt to pick the nation’s
campus cuties in the football
.1 line. "Sweet William” Regner
was only one of many photo
i, graphs that Miss Henie had to
choose from, but his manly fig
i ure could not be denied, so he is
y henceforth adorned with the ti
tle “All-American Adonis.”

Webfoots to Leave
Without Rally;
Hours Disrupt Plan
Contrary to reports in down
town papers, there will be no
farewell rally at the depot to
see the football team off for
their Washington trip.
Coach Tex Oliver and his boys
will leave on the 9:10 train, a
very inopportune time for the
students to give 'their usual
goodbye cheer as classes must
go on.
The fond hopes of the rally
committee that the campus
clock might be stopped for an
hour were blasted when Dean
Karl W. Onthank announced
that classes could not be dis
missed.

Leave for
Seattle
Washington Game
To Be 'Swan Song'
For 13 Seniors
By RAY FOSTER
The U. of O. football special pulls
out of Eugene at 9:10 this morn
ing for Seattle and the Washing
ton Husky game Thanksgiving
day, and with It goes 31 players,
including 13 seniors on their last
trip for Mighty Oregon.
It’s the swan song for these IS
seniors who have seen all the way
from one to three years of action
on Oregon varsity teams coached
by Prink Callison the first year
and Tex Oliver the last two years.
Jim “Cad” Cadenasso will lead his
three-year men against the Hus*
kies as captain for the day.
“Cad” to Start
“Cad” will start at center for
the Ducks, and eight other of the
senior class will open the turkey
| game. From Left Guard Ernie
j Robertson to Right End Vic Regl
' nato, every man on the line is play
ing his last game. Cece Walden IS
at right guard, and Ellroy Jensen
starts at right tackle.
There will be an all senior back
field opening the game, too. Denny
Donovan, at quarter, Jay Graybeal
and Bob Smith, at halves, and
Frank Emmons at full. Smith la
the only doubtful starter, as an
old leg injury has been bothering
hiij(i this week. Johnny “Buck”
Berry may start at right half.
For the Jimmy Phelan coached
gang that battles the Webfoots in
the 40th renewal of their ancient
rivalry, a passing demon, Dean
McAdams, stands out as the most
likely star of the northern team.
The Seattle papers call him the
greatest pigskin tosser in Husky
history.
Husky Receiver
On the receiving end of these
passes is expected to be Bill Marx,
right end, or Jay McDowell, am
other classy end. While the rest of
the offensive drive has bogged
down considerably for Washington,
their passing attack has been dan
gerous all year. Another back ace
is little Bill Gleason, who showed
well against Oregon in Multnomah
stadium last fall.
The last of the great Mucha bro
thers, Rudy, will be over the ball
at the center post for the host
team. Dick Greenwood probably
will play right guard, and Ernie
Huebel opens at half position.
While the Oregon team has
hardly thrown a pass all week
long, they are expected to open
up with another devastating pass
ing attack tomorrow. They com
pleted nine passes for a total of
200 yards against the strong Ore
gon State squad.
