UO Will Hear Fight Song Prospects Webfoots Mix Music, Politics Band to Play Two Pep Song Numbers At ASUO Assembly Mixing school spirit with their politics at Tuesday morning’s ASUO nominating assembly, Webfoots will hear the Univer sity concert band play, for the first time before an audience, two possible University fight songs. Culminating more than two terms of search for a suitable in spiration song for the University, the fight song committee has chosen two numbers as outstand ing from the list of contributions. One of the tunes was written by an Oregon student, Les Irvin, while the other came from a group of Los Angeles alums. “We like them both equally well,” Chairman Elbert Hawkins said last night, “so we're going to sit on the fence and let the school decide.” Nominations for ASUO offi cers, and Phi Theta pledging will also be on the 11 o’clock assembly slate.

Rifle Team Students To Try 'High Flying' Probably the saddest man in Eugene Thursday was Sergeant Harvey Blythe, ROTC instructor and coach of Oregon's nationally famed rifle team. In the last day of the army air corps examinations, Tom H. Tay lor and Clifford D. Collins, sched uled for the top two positions on Oregon’s 1941 * rifle team, re ceived their appointments as fly ing cadets and will leave for the army air school next September. Two other candidates, Harold V. Larson and Wilbur Wittcliff, were accepted by the examining board and received their appoint ments. Both have been doing some exceptional shooting on the rifle range and were expected to join the team next year. “It’s not that I begrudge the boys this wonderful opportunity, but it will certainly lower Ore gon's chances in next year’s in tercollegiate matches,” the ser geant said. t KEEN VISION FOR SPORT LEADERSHIP You've sot to see where you’re going to be able to think trigger-quiet!

Meade - OPTOMETRIST Phone 330 14 West 8th 'Si wash' Premier To Honor Mrs. Fitch By RAY SCHRICK A kindly, white haired lady— the secretary of Oregon’s gradu ate school—faces one of the hap piest days of her life on May 21. For on that day “Good Old Si wash” will live again—it will live just as it was created by her hus band in a series of books written about college days of the early 1900’s. The lady is Clara L. Fitch, who works on the second floor of Johnson hall, and her husband was George Fitch, noted Illinois newspaperman and member of the legislature, who built around his university alma mater, Knox college, the stories that found a happy place in many an appre ciative reader’s interest. Opens May 21 On May 21, upon the screens of leading theaters in Galesburg, Illinois, a world premier of these adventures will unfold — and in that audience will be Mrs. Fitch. She will be there as honored guest of Paramount studios, producers of the Fitch stories, following a flight across more than half the United States. Picture rights to the story were purchased some time back and production is now almost com pleted. Title of the movie will probably be “At Good Old Si wash.” Selection of this name in volves a story in itself because the producers first considered calling the picture “Those Were the Days.” Suggestion of this name was “snowed under” by an avalanche of criticism from congressional offices, the office of a railroad president, the offices of many in dustrial executives, several noted country places, and many reader friends of the author who enjoyed his stories. Name’s Origin This resulted in changing the title so it included Siwash, and that is probably the way the pic ture will be released. The word Siwash, according to Mrs. Fitch, was devised by her husband because it so accurately described the antics of Knox stu dents who appeared “like a bunch of Siwashes.” That name was used when the story originally appeared in the Saturday Even ing Post. It was used also when the stories appeared in book form. Cast of the picture will include Ezra Stone, the Henry Aldrich of radio, who was taken to Holly wood especially for the part. Oth er leading roles will be filled by William Holden, Judith Barrett, and Bonita Granville. 200 in Cast Many of the movie scenes were filmed on the Knox campus, and the cast includes nearly 200 per sons now attending school there. Costumes for the 1911 styles were made in Hollywood, sent east, and streets were blocked off in sec tions where the old-time atmos phere was recreated for the movie scenes. In order to reach Galesburg in time for the premier, Mrs. Fitch will leave Eugene the preceding Saturday or Sunday. Her daugh ter, Mrs. Mary Wernham, is also on the campus, but will not go east for the production. She is graduate assistant in Romance languages. The Emerald Three o'Clock club last night met at the Uni versity Press. Lack of business and scarce attendance resulted in an early banquet at a Eugene res taurant, followed by dismissal. Spiral Design Sets Record for Cake Technique A new technique in cake cut ting was demonstrated yesterday by Dr. Homer G. Barnett, an thropology instructor, at a birth day party given him in the an thropology lab. The spiral design, which was the final result of his knife wield ing, was probably the result of his agitation on being suddenly confronted with a roomful of charming people chorusing "Hap py birthday to you.” The cake (decorated by 16 pure, white candles) was divided among the donors and Mr. Barnett. As a comment for the press Dr. Barnett (who sometimes teaches a course in American In dian) remarked: Ugh! Heap good party! Me likum.” Sigma Xi Chooses Twelve Members; Initiation May 18 Six active members and six as sociate members were elected to Sigma Xi, national science hon orary, at a meeting of the group last Thursday.
