    Junior Weekend Radio Talent Solicited
Programs Set
For Earlg Mag
On KGW, KOIN
Urgent Demand
For Entertainment
Made by Holcomb
The Junior Weekend committee
wants some talent for radio
shows to be presented over sta
tions KGW and KOIN in Port
land and KORE, and it is wanted
in a hurry, according to Jack
Holcomb, who is in charge of the
preparations.
The programs have been sched
uled tentatively for presentation
on some half-hour program dur
ing the first weekend in May,
Holcomb stated. The stations de
mand that the plans of the pro
gram be formulated well in ad
vance. The best type of enter
tainment for the program, he
said, would be musical numbers.
“After going to the ASUO
‘Spring Varieties' Friday night,
and seeing just how good the tal
ent on the campus is,”- Holcomb
asserted, “there is no doubt
whatsoever in our minds that we
will be able to offer features that
any of the stations will be glad
to put on the air.”
The Junior Weekend commit
tee is contacting all the students
they know of who would be in
terested in appearing, but is eag
er to have any other students
who would like to have their tal
ent broadcast contact them as
soon as possible, Holcomb said.

Girls Surpass
Boys on Sicklist

that women are heathier than

Chesney, Shirley Steele, Nancy

Hanna to Conduct
Discussion Group
In Browsing Room
A reading and discussion group
will be conducted by Mark Han
na, instructor in speech, in the
browsing room this evening from
7:30 until 9:30. Although carried
on in connection with one of Pro
fessor Hanna's speech classes,
this gathering is not a class. The
class merely furnishes a nucleus
for the group.
Everyone is welcome, but Miss
Siwyer, browsing room librarian,
asks that everyone come before
7:45, at which time the doors will
be locked in order to prevent dis
turbance to the speaker and
listeners.
The object of the group, accord
ing to Miss Sawyer, is to present
and discuss books and to encour
age them as subjects of discus
sion.
Findley, Stone,
Johnson, Dallas
Pass Flight Tests
Four UO Students
Receive Licenses
For Private Flying
Harry Findley, Kneeland Stone,
Stanley Johnson, and Nick Dal
las passed final flight tests under
a civilian aeronautics authority
examiner Saturday to receive
their private pilot’s licenses.
First to complete Oregon’s
civil pilot training course, they
were okayed by CAA Examiner
Jack Hunt and Assistant “Buck”
Buchanan following Friday
night’s finals in ground school
instruction.
All ground school training
came to an end for the present
CAA course with the final exam
inations last Friday, Carlton E.
Spencer, air school head, an
nounced. Actual flight tests by
official government examiners
constitutes the last hurdle before
the remaining trainees are eligi
ble for private licenses. Private
flight permits allow passenger
flying on a non-commercial ba
sis, Mr. Spencer pointed out. Fur
ther training is necessary before
the pilots can qualify for com
mercial air activity.
The University of Oregon con
cert band will go collegiate when
it plays the new University fight
songs today.
