All-Americans-If They Get the Chance
'JMIERE is tliis much to be said about Uiii
veirsity of Oregon athletes, that while
they have never managed to dominate 1 lie
field, they have in years past been able to
carry off their share of national honors in
their share of sports.
Nevertheless national recognition does not
come around with sufficient regularity that
it is ever taken for granted. It is always in
the definitely remarkable class whenever it
happens.
Latest prospects to add to Oregon’s col
lection of national laurels are Ihe trio of
swimmers, Dallas, Wetmorc, and Macdonald.
Already the best in the league, they are now,
in the eyes of the public, as good as oil their
way to the national meet in the cast. The only
drawback so far is not a question of ability
on the part of the splashmen, but rather the
one of where the money is going to come from.
IF 3P
rp'lJM general impression seems to be that
official quarters have not yet realized,
that there are potential all-Americans in their
_ midst, and that the three stand only an out
side chance of ever making the eastern trip.
Such is not the ease, however, for although no
allowance was made for such an eventuality
in the budget when it was made up last
spring, the athletic board is quite cognizant
„ of the fact that something will probably have
to be done, and in fact talked about it at its
last meeting.
The question of the probable accomplish
ments of the athletes in question in the east
makes no difference. At least 1liey should be
tried. Dallas and Wetmorc themselves have
never been beaten, but they are willing to
take a chance on finding out what it is like.
Their marks have been up with the best in
the nation.
* * *
that the athletes in question have
the ability, and that the board recog
nizes this fact, there is one point which should
be settled pretty soon. Jf the trip is to be
made it. should be put on a positive basis as
soon as possible, for championship training is
a grueling procedure among swimmers, and
also calls for special effort on the part of the
coach. (And speaking of coaches, Jiuss Cut
ler lias covered himself with glory in his first
year as a. regular conch, after years of yeo
man service in the physical education school
as an instructor.)
The athletic board will be meeting again
tomorrow night, Its purpose then is not par
ticularly to consider an eastern trip but, it
probably will, in any event there is little pos
sibility that, very much of the needed funds
can be found in its budget. It is probable that
the commonly-accepted estimate of ifilOO is
too low by half. If the board cannot cover the
total 1 lie next thing will have to be some plan
to finance the trip by contributions, as was
done before.
In any case, the men deserve the chance
to show what they can do, and the school
needs to see that they get the chance.
A Robeson for the Igloo
^yilKN ilit* educational activities board
was casting a bout for a If jt< loll' artist
^ in next year’s concert series it looked for
three 1 kings in one: first, someone who was
great : seeoiul, one who was known; and third,
one who was popular.
All three of these tilings they found at an
Heeeptahle date in Paul Robeson, wlm is in a.
el ass by himself as a performer, although he
is listed as a baritone. Those who have heard
bis voire never forget, for lie has a challenging
way of throwing out a song that is all his own.
Those who have seen him in his screen suc
cesses such as Eugene O'Neill's great “Km
peror Jones never forgot his spirit. Without
him part and song would show a lack.
Why be continues on the concert stage is
certainly not explainable on financial
•'rounds. J1 <■ novel' Inis been one to care much
about wealth, and one has only to watch his
eyes and the sot of his head and his carriage
to understand the man.
* #■ *
ARTISTS like this, who are groat hut can
offer the additional excitement of natural
colorfulness, are low and far between. Out
side of ids voice artistry Robeson is a per
sonality, which is one of the reasons his fol
lowing has remained intensely loyal from the
beginning.
living in a class by himself Robeson is
difficult, to compare. Hut. it is certain he will
be a rousing opener for next year’s concert
season, possibly the forerunner of a new trend
in Igloo concerts.

Hi ya! How about it?
As Confucius say, "What
country needs is good five cent

the University of Oregon say,
"What ttiis campus needs is
sonic good "Get Acquainted
Dances." The theme, or by-word
on this campus is "Know Your
School.” There is no better way
of getting acquainted and of
knowing your school, than to
have student dances, and get
acquainted with your fellow st u
dents. By knowing their courses
and problems you ran become
better associated with the func
tions of your school. "Our "Hel
lo Walk" would he a much more
cheerful place, because you
could meet at those dances the
people whom you pass on the
walks ami would like to know.
After you have met the angel
in a pair of wooden shoes, or
the big burly athlete you idol
ize, and have seen walking along
the paths, you can speak to him
or her as the case may be.

Just eight more days, folks,
eight more days! Next term is
spring term, every one talks
about spring term, and every
thing happens spring term and
just to show you that spring
term is coining, take a look at
the 8-ball stock exchange. FRA
TERNITY PINS dropped 6
points over the weekend and
seem destined for the annual
slump.
Just to start the ball rolling,
news comes around that Jean
nie Withers took “Oct” Morey’s
Theta Chi pin Friday night and
gave it back Saturday morning.
What more evidence does one
need to tell spring is coming?
Oregon beat the Staters Fri
day night and it was a darned
good game. It was a full house
again with many Oregonites
present,' even if they had to
stand in the last row in the
balcony like Stinkey Davis and
Skunky Norwood. (She’s the
Little Colonel, remember?)
If you’re from Freewater
Milton, or Pacific university,
you've probably met cute little
Geraldine Rinker. She's now at
tending the state college. Some
thing the folks down there
should be proud of.
Today seems to be Pi Phi day
with mystery girl Tcssie F. ?
taking the spotlight. Besides
writing cute little notes, Tessie
is known for her remarkable
ability in answering the phone.
Others prominent in the house
on the corner include a Catlin
grad, Lisbeth Daggett (a friend
of Vera Byrd Hager’s), and
Jane Wilcox. •

Alice Lucas, Gamma Phi
froshling, finally takes A1
Gray’s Sigma Nu pin. No vic

one.
Another steady gets pinned.
Marie Bra< o gets Vic Reginalo's
pin. Again, apologies to Curb
Cruising.
And the big deal that is going
to happen this weekend. Eddie
Fitzpatrick of St. Francis hotel
game, was to play for the soph

on the arrangements so he goes
to the Park Saturday.

The
BAND
BOX
By BILL MOXLEY
The Columbia Record com
pany has scooped the music
business by putting the national
“Dream Band” on wax.
Thousands of fans picked 14
band leaders and instrumental
soloists as the best combination
for an all-star “Dream Band.”
The band turned out only two
records, but, boy, how those two
do jump. It took three weeks
before the array of talent repre
sented on the record could be
assembled in one studio to
swing out on “King Porter
Stomp” and “All Star Strut.”
Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa,
Harry James, Jack Teagarden,
and Charlie Barnett were some
of the run-of-the-mill members
of this dream band. Each mem
ber contributed a sparkling solo
bit with the entire combination
riding out on the last two
choruses of both numbers.
Seven ‘Cats’ Faint
Rumor has it that seven
“cats” fainted dead away on
52nd Street in New York when
they heard that Swingmaster
Glenn Miller had recorded two
waltzes during his last session
at the studios. The two are “The
Missouri Waltz” and “Beautiful
Ohoe.”
This emphasis on swing is
getting so bad that in a recent
poll of eastern music fans three
out of every four of those ques
tioned said they thought a waltz
was some kind of German beer!
Not Mad© of Wax
Contrary to popular concep
tion, records are not made of
wax. In fact there is no wax or
rubber of any kind in the mod
ern phorograph record. They
are compounded from ten dif
ferent kinds of resins, shellacs,
and fillers gathered from India,
Europe, and the Dutch East
Indies. ... It takes just about
36 seconds to transform a
shapeless mass of record plastic
into Beethoven's “Fifth Sym
phony” or “My Wubba Dolly.”
Kaye Has Fans
Sammy Kaye has one of the
largest and most active fan
clubs in radio. . . . Membership
of over 5,000. . . . They even
publish their own newspaper
called “Swing’n Sway.”
Alee Templeton
Alec Templeton is going to
be in San Francisco during the
month of March. Perhaps some
of the guys and gals who live
down south will have a chance
to see him while on their spring
vacation. An opportunity to see
and hear Templeton shouldn’t be
passed up. Geniuses are rare
and Alex is a genius in every
sense of the word.
The latest adaptation from
Tschaikowsky lias arrived in
