They Won’t Always Come Back
JN the spring all kinds of more or less insane
goings-on become more or less matter of
course among young people, either as a result
of the weather or as an outlet for winter sup
pression. But during the winter itself things
are usually pretty much in order, even leaning
toward the staid side.
Two days ago, however, a. typical spring
term act took place which might have been
pardonable at that time of the year. A favorite
accessory of spring is the millrace, which
Thursday, in the dead of winter, nearly added
another tragic chapter to its history, when
close to ending in drowning for two Univer
close to ending n drowning for two Univer
sity students. They “went canoing on the
old mill race,” which would have been all
right had they not carried it to the point of
trying their luck with the rapids. Luckily they
came out of il.
,4 # # #
rJTIIERE is something about danger, and
water in particular, which seems to offer
a continual challenge. The millrace itself looks
fairly placid most of the time, but those who
know its currents and whirlpools credit it
with more potential power than its surface
would seem to indicate. Its rapids are also
more fierce than they look. Not only do they
have more teeth concealed beneath their sur
face but they refuse to conform to the best
principles characteristic of most well-behaved
white water. It is for this reason that even
a good riverman would find himself up against
a new angle there.
* * *
I^TOT so long ago, inspired by last spring's
prominent drowning at the head of race,
the interfraternity council figured it would
make the warning unmistakable by installing
a good-sized sign at the danger point. But
even Ibis did no good Thursday.
All the public disapproval in the book can
do little with young blood willing to take a
chance. There will always be those who figure
they can beat a bad combination. There is no
intent here to sermonize, but it should be in
order to point out that they will not always
be able to come back from rapid-running.

A Year in a Day
By WES SULLIVAN
September 16 — Cowboys

red, but it will soon be back to
its natural color.
Students Called to Border
Seven students of the Univer
sity have been called to the
Mexican border for border pa
trol.
The Co-op store is now open
for business. The venture will
be managed by M. F. McClain,
a former Eugene business man.
Movies to Cost 25 Cents
September 28—Mary Pick
ford will appear at one of the
downtown theaters soon in
"Hulda From Holland." “This
is your last chance to see Mary
Pickford at 10 cents, for all fu
ture films in which she appears,
the managers of her new
$1,000,000 company, Paramount
Inc. of New York, require that
theaters shall charge not less
than 25 cents.”
aepiemoer uu— ±u rentuu
from smoking on the campus
has been recognized as a Uni
versity tradition since the
school was two trees and Deady
hall," stated Dean of Men, John
Straub, today.
Oregon 97—Willamette 0
October 7—The varsity beat
Willamette college 97-0 in a

November 7—A tunnel, for
heating purposes has been

November 14—Madame Schu

Heiress in the Crowd
December 5—At dinner yes
terday, Dean Straub let slip
the fact that there is an heiress
worth $500,000 cash and $50,
000 a year at the University.
To reveal her name would spoil
her plans, according to the
dean. Her monthly budget, he
confided, is $35.
The
BAND
BOX
By BILL MOXLEY
It Ain't l’oetry
Ever since Sammy Kaye came
out with his by-line, "Swing and
Sway with Sammy Kaye,” other
orchestras have looked around
for a slogan of the same type.
Some of them have had a pretty
tough time finding something
that would rhyme with their
name. A good one was thought
up by one of Artie Shaw's lis
teners: "Take your mother-in
law to hear Artie Shaw," Artie
never seemed to like it very
well. Another clever one was
"Grunt and groan with Wingie
Munone." The Chicago Tribune
made a list of fjll listener-read
er contributions of this kind and
published them for the benefit
of the particular band leaders
concerned. Some of the little
gems sent in were:
"Ride a horsie with Tommy
Dorsey."
"Let's all holler with Fats
Waller."
"Play tennis with Skinny En
nis."
"You can't be unkempt with
lial Kemp "
"Be a killer with Glen Miller."
■ fear your hair again with
Bunny Berigau "
' Boopadoopa with G c n e
Krupa.”
Please don t scare us with
Phil Harris."
Any suggestions for Bob
Crosby? Offhand, a rhyme for
Crosby souns. 4- tad tr;.
mg to sU\cr.
Speaking of Sammy Kaye,
Sammy majored in trigonome
try. calculus, and chemistry in
college, and was all set to follow
in Einstein’s footsteps until he
discovered that "Kaye” rhymed
with "sway” and paid off in real
American money.
He Had Art If Not Cash
The late Arthur Bodansky
will long bo remembered by Vin
cent Lopez for his human quali
ties as well as for his great mus
ical ability. Before Lopez pre
sented his symphonic jazz con
cert at the Metropolitan Opera
House several years ago. he
went to Bodansky for some les
sons in conducting. Bodansky
asked him how much he earned.
"$200,000 a year,” Lopez au
swered.
"In that case," Bodansky told
him, "it is 1 who should be tak
ing lessons from you!”

H. S. (Mike) Hoyman, instructor
in the school of physical education,
has an article in the current issue .
of the American Journal of Health ,
and Physical Education on the sub
ject of "Teacher Training in School _

ical education in Oregon high ■
schools as an example, the author ■
outlines methods found most prac
tical for the training of athletic
instructors.
Mr. Hoyman is at present on a ]
leave of absence from the Univer- i
sity, to complete graduate work at i
eastern universities. After spending :
several months at the University I

He is best known at Oregon for the 1
1936 swimming team that he
coached which brought home sev- <
