Weekend Heads Plan Program Chairmen Search For Prospective Fete Announcers Chairman of Junior Weekend committees reported yesterday that their groups were function ing well in preparing their part of the program for the three-day festive period—May 10, 11, and 12. The weekenders are still awaiting responses from student ranks in two fields, however. Donna Ketchum and Pat Erick son, co-chairmen in charge of ar ranging the program continuity for the canoe fete, repeated their request for prospective announc- , ers for this event. Anyone wish ing to try out for this job should contact either of the two girls im mediately. Jack Holcomb, in charge of preparations for radio programs, said that he was pleased with the response his request for student talent to appear on the shows. The broadcasts will be presented over stations KGW and KOIN in Portland and KORE during the first weekend of May, Holcomb announced. Bill Ehrman, weekend prime minister, was busy arranging for a “good will” trip to Portland for Queen Betty Buchanan and her princesses—Laura Jean Maurice, Sue Cunningham, Eleanor Collier, and Janet Foster. Kroopnick Runs for Law School'Queen Follow-up of the University Junior Weekend parade of queen candidates Tuesday was the law school’s “Junior Weekend” fav ored candidate for law school “qu> ,'n.” Riding in the lead car, the beautiful chief contestant, nom inee for the first-year class, was Meyer (Baldy) Kroopnick. He was a picture of beauty. In other words, the perfect queen candi date for the law school “Junior Weekend” (says Kroopnick). Hardly in the running, says Hugh Collins, the law school's press agent-in-chief, are sev eral “opposition” candidates. George (Pelican Pouch) Tichy, Robert L (Thermous) Recken, K. A. (The Trout) Abraham, and W. A. F. Lubersky will probably be also-rans, he assured the press. If elected, Kroopnick, who has the odds now, promises to shave, and his manager promises that Kroopnick will then take a bath. The others haven’t made promises yet, says Collins, since they are past the first year, and are of known reputation. In his search for posts for campaign support ers, if elected, Kroopnick has in vented two new committees so far. They are the committee for Finnish relief and the committee for morons, which he has delegat ed to the Emerald reporter on the law school beat.

'&{> picks his racing cars for speed — his cigarettes for slow burning HERE THEY COME in a hurricane of flying dirt and squirting oil. You can almost hear the high whine of the motors and the shriek of brakes and burning tires as they streak into the sharp unbanked curves. They may call ’em "midget racers,” but there’s speed to burn under neath those toy-like hoods. Leading the pack in the picture above is Bob Swanson, Pacific Coast champ. In a split second these racers may be climbing each other’s hoods, hurdling, somer saulting, flying through fences. Bob Swanson likes a slower pace in his off-time. Fishes a lot. Smokes Camels a lot. He explains: "I don’t like overheating in my cigarette any more than I like it in a racing motor. I stick to Camels. I know they’re slower-burning... milder and cooler.” Slower-Burning Camels Give the Extras e*Tft A M,l#N£5S c°oiNess Flavor *XT*A *moicing A RACING CAR—BUT I WANT My CIGARETTE ^ SLOW-BURNING. CAMEL CIGARETTES BURN ’ ON THE SLOW SIDE — GIVE THE 'EXTRAS' IN In recent laboratory tests, Camels burned 25% slower | than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested — slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to 5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK! :W>SxSB8Hi WITH BOB SWANSON, it’s always a slow-burning Camel. "That slower burning makes a big difference," says Bob. "Camels are milder—easier on my throat. They don’t bother my nerves. And they never tire my taste. They give an extra amount of smoking, too.” Yes, speed is fine in the right place, but millions have learned that in cigarettes the coveted extras of coolness, mildness, and full, rich tlavor go with slow-burning Camels.
