Student Aviator, J. Walker, in Air In Record Time Mallory Solos First Among Students Taking Air Courses With the minimum of eight hours of dual instruction behind him, Joe Walker became the sec ond soloist of the Oregon flight school last Monday when he took off and landed his training ship alone. Taking advantage of perfect flying weather, Walker was the first to solo with the minimum amount of dual time. Civil Aero nautics Authority regulations re quire an eight-hour limit, and the student solos only after his in structor’s OK. Mallory Was First A unit of Instructor Steve Hathaway's “squadron,” Walker follows Pierce Mallory in the or der of initial lone flights. Ideal at mospheric conditions arc prevail ing as solo time nears for most of the fledglings, and the near future should see several more “gradu ates” to join the ranks of the se lect soloists. Instructor Hathaway feted his first solo student and the cadet pilots of his class at his home Monday night, following Walker’s first lone trip. Ground school classes are still under Professor W. V. Norris in theory of flight, with exam time for that phase ofM instruction due about the end of January. ‘U’ DRIVE TRUCK Ileasonable rates Warren Hansen TEXACO SERVICE Across from Eugene Hotel 3 Oysters, fine for soup 29c 3 lbs.

Mrs. Bennett's Girls Seeking a Husband By DOROTHY KRFJS j The Bennett's, fiction ized family of “Pride and Prejudice,” will be at home to their friends on Jan uary 23, 24, and 25, in their early 19th century country home, locat ed temporarily on the Very Little Theater stage at the Lane county fairgrounds. The three stage sets, designed by Ai t Poulas, will provide an at mosphere typical of the Empire period. Page Marryin’ Sam The chief worry and ambition of Mrs. Bennett Mrs. L. K. Shumak er in real life—is to get her three 1 daughters married Elizabeth | (Virginia Mikulak in private life) j who does a little too much think | ing for her own good; Jane (por trayed by Mary Staton, talented veteran of many productions who is the rather emotional daughter; and Lydia (Iris Smith to you) who has her eye open for a “man in a uniform.” Mr. Bennett (Fred Cuthbert) al though at times a little sarcastic, is on the whole very good-natured under the circumstances. The mother soon becomes acquainted with all the eligible young men in town. Prospects include Bingley (Marvin Krenk), the “not-bad-at I all” type; his cousin Darcy (Bill I Nash), who is not quite so well thought of because of his snob bishness; Collins (Don Hargis), al though termed a “stupid ass” by ! her daughter, meets with Mrs. j Bennett’s approval; and Wicham, who becomes eligible, as far as 1 Lydia is concerned, by the mere | fact that he wears a uniform. last I.is1(-<l Other members of the cast in clude Major H. L. Barrett, as Hill, | the butler; Marjorie Bates, last I year’s ideal cocci of the University, as Charlotte, cousin of the Bennett sisters; Pirkko Paasikivi, Ether Sawyer, Mrs. W. H. Dutton, Ottilie Seybolt, and Mrs. W. M. Tug-man. Dr. R. D. Horn, director of the production, who likes to gamble a bit and add new talent, has chosen Ruth Mary Williams and David Manning to act in supporting roles, Ruth Mary, who has ap peared in Civic Theater produc tions in Portland, will take the part of the Bennett maid, and Da vid, who has held acting parts in Community theater performances in Palo Alto, California, will step into the role of Captain Denny. Sixty-five people, whose hobby is the theater, are working on the prpduction, twenty authentic, pe riod costumes are in the making, and the three stage sets are well under construction. The Very Lit tle Theater has taken great strides since the day it began playing in an empty drug store about ten years ago, and is now gradually developing into a civic theater. | IJ<; IIOIlxVI.lt A pulse - pounding- romantic drama of love and adventure! “BARRICADE” with Alice Faye - Warner Baxter plus A new STAR is born Olympe Bradna Pat O 'Brien in ‘TheNights of Nights’ — Two ‘MUST’ Pictures — Edward G.

Moll, professor of English at Oregon now teaching in Australia, has been feted by a full page article of recent issue of the “Drylight,” publication of the students of Sydney Teacher’s col lege, Sydney, Australia. A copy of the “Drylight" was sent to M. F. McClain, manager of the Univer sity Co-op. The article concerning Professor Moll followed publishing the fol lowing of his three poems on Aus tralia: "Kookaburra,” “At Cross street Sydney," and “Returned Soldier.” The publication said: “Drylight considers it an honor to have as its guest artist for 1939 our visitor from the Ameri can Pacific coast.” Professor Moll went to Austra lia as an exchange with Sydney’s Elizabeth M. Bannan, acting pro fessor of English at Oregon. Born in Australia, Professor Moll spent the greater part of his life in the United States. Some of his works published while at Ore gon include “Sedge Fire,” “Native Moments,” “Campus Sonnets,” and “Blue Interval.” Dads’ Day DOINGS llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll January 26, 27, 28 “Firesides for the women and "smokers" for the men will put the finishing' touches on Satur day’s program for entertaining the dads.

John I has been given the big title of gen 1 eral chairman but he felt only so “high” when he told Mrs. Evange line Morris, housing secretary, that he had met her “dad” that morning. It was her husband. This afternoon Norm Foster and his promotion committee will don artist smocks, grab up their pal lets, and whiz out to paint a Dads' sign on the highway leading from Portland. Cutler's Squad (Continued from f>aoe three) Despite the relatively weak team strength of Cutler’s Oregon swim outfit, Coach Jack Torney of the Huskies expressed a definite re spect for Oregon’s two “all-Ameri cans," Jack Dallas and Sherm Wet more, whose national records last year were not recognized because of neglect of a coast official in meeting a deadline in reporting them, Torney also fears the big lreestyler, Jerry MacDonald, who smashed coast records in intra mural competition last year, and Dick Smith, another sophomore judged one of the outstanding freshman swimmers of the north west division in 1939. Cutler said last night that a team captain would be elected before the squad's arrival in Seattle at 9:20 tonight. r TUXEDOS I FOR SALE j I’noalled t'or if Suits V $10.00 and tip All good condi tion Wo clean and press the tailor way.

UNIVERSITY TAILOR Ill’s All lor Si root Bottoms Up Ry NANCY LEWIS and LEN BALIFF “Hand lake or bust” was the slogan of Oregon ski enthusiasts! last weekend as hundreds of com bined neophytes and experts ex hibited their skills and spills, most J of them for the first time this season. Adele Canada attempted a new ' skiing “angle" by climbing a tree , with her skis on. Her mittens froze ! to the cable on the ski lift, hoisting her 15 feet into a tree. Timely ac tion by the operator of the lift averted possible damage to her arm. Nancy Hay, Katherine Mur dock, and Sue Piel, Alpha Phi com panions, witnessed the event. Scotty Sutherland will go down in the books, not the record books but the infirmary books, as the first skier to “register” for the 1940 season by virtue of a sprained ankle, sustained when he scraped a protruding rock. The pride of Chi Omega, Robin Nelson, walked off with all the prizes in the women’s competitive ! division. Contributing to her suc cess was the fact that she was the only woman entry. Competition or not, Robin is a plenty smooth snow “sailor.” Two other experts seen testing the slopes were DG Jane j McCurdy and Alpha Chi O’s new est pledge, Marcella Davidson, j Tom Terry, Phi Delt, winner of the recent Berger Underdahl tro phy for the outstanding junior skier in 1939, gave the boys on the ski team a few pointers, including Coach Rollie Dickie, who was test ing the slats for the second time. . . . Vic Collins and Jim Buck are giving the ATOs something to rave about with their ability to take the slalom course in nothing flat. . . . Jack (Hi-Yo) Silva and Glen West fall were learning how to execute a “flush.” Ed Wallace took a carload up— i a good time was had by the Sigma Chis. . . . Warren Treece is another good skier.

However, she was serious when she asked him to display his proveess—and he’s serious now. In a moment of j weakness, he accepted her skiing I invitation. Now he is taking les- | sons by radio. Soon he will put on ' the skis for his initial trial, unless he “happens” to sprain a wrist or an ankle in the meantime. We aren’t mentioning any names, but his initials are Bob Watkins. UO Drama Students Climb Toward Fame By BETTY JANE BIGGS From New York to Hollywood Oregon students and graduates of drama have traveled to seek their fortunes on stage anti screen or to continue their studies at some other school in order to receive Iheir master’s degree. Three past-year students of Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, director of dra matics, and her staff who is work ing for their M.A.s at the Univer sity of Iowa are: Kay McAlear, Eddie Hearn, and Dale King. The former two nray be remem bered for their performance in “Private Lives.” Dale did techni cian and backstage wor k here. Emperor Jones Because of his performance in “Emperor’ Jones” last spring, Smokey Whitfield was given a con tract to the M-G-M theater school. He also received favorable men tion from Hollywood critics for his role in “Kiss the Boys Good bye” in the Pasadena Playhouse recently. Ed Buchanan will be seen in Jean Arthur’s new picture “Ari zona.” He is a graduate from Ore gon and gave up his dentistry practice in Eugene to again follow his theatrical talent. Boyle in Hollywood Wally Boyle, after studying here, graduated from the Pasadena Playhouse. After gaining profes sional experience in several roles on the Broadway stage, he re turned to the University as an in structor. He is now a member on the staff of Max Rhinehardt’s theater school in Los Angeles. Milton Pillette is now trying tc “crash” Broadway after two years of professional stock for the Cleve land playhouse. Pillette played Romeo in the University theater three years ago. Another veteran of “Romeo and Duck Tracks (Continued From Pape Three) Short Shots .... Coach Hobby avers that Slim Wintermute is really going great as a pro eager . . . Hobby, as proof, cites the fact that rival teams in the league were trying to protest the big boy on the grounds that he had another year at Oregon, and the pros have a rule that prohib its them from signing college players whose class has not grad-! uated. Hobson put the damper on this protest when approached about it on the eastern trip, however. Said Hobson, "If he had another year, he’d be in my Oregon lineup. Not playing pro ball.” Bobby A net, captain of last year’s national champions and a leal campus personality, is plan ning to take up skiing. I’ve never been on skis,” laughs Bob, ‘‘but I’ve been on plenty of barrel staves.” Wimpy Quinn, third baseman of Oregon’s baseball champions of last year and now the property of the Chicago Cubs and Los Ange les of the Coast league, holds the consecutive-game hitting record of the Western International league. Wimp hit in 30 straight games last year, the old record be ing 25. The feat is all the more remarkable because Quinn was playing his first year of profes sional ball ... he also hit 21 home runs. Two more reasons in favor of the proposed new intramural set up—Finns 37, Fijis 4; ATOs 51, Sigma hall 6 . . . both routs were features of last night’s play.

S. Cressman, head of the anthropology department, took various specimens to the Klamath Indian reservation during the Christmas recess, to have them examined by old Indians of the tribe. Much of this excavated basketry has many characteristics of con temporary Klamath basketry al though in no case is there exact correspondence. Since the baskets all come from far outside the Klamath territory it was felt that a check might be made by consult ing living basket weavers. rlr'IPIfjii^iplPI&lNiSilJPiHJn'ISiSPISfPl^lSIS® Pj MAMMY’S CABIN • DINE and DANCE r I 1 ■ ■ i? ‘I DELICIOUS DINNERS SANDWICHES OF ALL KINDS DRINKS Tomorrow’s Emerald will be a special dads' issue.

But when Cecil smokes, speed's the last thing he wants in his cigarette. Because cigarettes that burn fast can't help but burn hot. And excess heat burns away the to bacco's elements of flavor and fragrance. The result is a hot, flat, unsatisfactory smoke. "Slow-burning cigarettes are cooler, milder, tastier, and more fragrant”—science and common sense both say so. And the f/on ei/-burning cigarette of the 16 largest selling brands tested was Camel! (The panel to your right gires details.) A few puffs of a Camel tell you that there's more pleasure per puff...and then you find that there are more puffs per pack — an average smoking equivalent of 5 extra smokes! MORE PLEASURE PER PUFF...
