1940 Oregana
Distribution Set
For Mag 8,9,13
Students Who Fail
To Get Books Now
Must Wait Till Fall
The distribution date of the
1940 Oregana has been officially
set as May 8, according to Dick
Williams, business manager.
Books will also be distributed on
May 9 and after that date no
books will be available until the
following Monday, May 13.
The date set for delivering the
Oreganas is the earliest in many
years as it is desired to deliver
as many as possible before Junior
Weekend actually starts.
Copies to Order
Another point that Manager
Williams stressed is that students
that are in school this term and
dp not pick their copies up before
the end of the school year, will
have to wait until fall term of
next year to receive their books
as no copies will be sent during
the summer.
Although all the copies have
been sold at the present time, stu -
dents wishing to order a copy and
in the event of some cancellations,
being able to purchase one, may
do so by paying the full price of
$5.50 to Williams and being
placed on a waiting list. If there
are no books available then the
money will be returned.
620 Copies Here
Williams will take all orders at
his office in McArthur court be

'Pinafore Dag' Set
For Next Mondag
Monday won’t be a blue day,
Joan Hoke, in charge of campus
costumery for Junior Weekend,
promised last night. It will be
“Pinafore Day,” when the Vien
nese-fashioned dresses will make
their official debut upon the Uni
versity campus.
“W'e want all the girls who al
ready have their pinafores to
wear them,” Miss Hoke said, “but
we feel that some are waiting for
others to start the parade. We de
cided that a good day to officially
break them in would be Monday.”
Miss Hoke has appointed chair
men in each of the women’s
houses, whose duty will be to take
orders for the pinafores.
Annual Law Parade
Threatened; No Caps
A landlady’s threat to detain
25 painter’s caps in lieu of un
paid rent has the law school in
a dither. It is the school’s tradi
tion for each member to wear a
painter’s cap in their annual pa
rade which comes Saturday after
noon.
The 25 caps now lacking- are in
the possession of two of their
members, Kenneth Abraham and
Addison Wood. But they won't
be able to get them until they
pay their rent, say the law school,
mourners.
Meanwhile, preparations pro
ceed for the biggest, best, and
“baddest” parade ever, with the
theme changed to “Hawaiian
Knights,’’ and plans almost ma
terializing for the queen and her
princesses to wear grass skirts.
In this event, the rest of the law
school will carry lawn mowers,
says Princess Kenneth (Abra
ham).
The four princesses, Princess
Kenneth and Princesses Addison
(Wood), “Buffalo” (Phipps), and
“Thermous” (R. L. Recken), and
Queen Meyer (Kroopnick) have
adopted as their motto, “Virtue,
virginity, fraternity.”
Another unsolved worry is the
fact that the B.A. school hasn't
ip
answered the complaint filed last
Tuesday. In case the challenge
to a baseball game isn't answered
by Friday noon, the game sched
uled for Saturday afternoon will
be forfeited to the law school un
der Oregon laws, says Hugh Col
lins, publicity committee member
for the law school.
“We don’t think they’re going
to answer, personally,” says Col
lins. “We don’t think they have
what it takes.”
The law school team is being
trained by Player-coach George
Goodrich, ex-Sacramento profes
sional third baseman. The coach,
who was brought here on a schol
arship by the school, according to
Collins, claims he has the best
players on the campus with such
stars as David Silver and Jack
Hay booming out plenty of hits in
practice sessions.
Morse to Speak
Dean Wayne L. Morse was in
Portland last night to lead a dis
cussion of the Portland public
policy committee on “The Water
front Labor Situation.”
The committee is headed by C.
C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon
Voter, weekly public political in
terest publication.
