UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1940
NUMBER 3
Down to Earth
(Courtesy of the Retrister-Guard >
A crowd of 3,000 looked on as this huge twin-motored Douglas transport landed safely at the Eugene
airport Wednesday with part of the contingent of San Diego Marines, who are here for the Oregon-Ma
rine football game tonight.
Marines, UO Clash Tonight
Battle of Oregon
Starts at 8 p.m.
Former Webfoot
Gridman Leads
Flying Devildogs
Lt. Col. Elmer E. Hall, ex-Ore
gon ball player, will see his San
Diego Marines tangle with the Ore
gon team Friday night at eight
o’clock under the lights at Hay
ward field. This game will mark
the first time Lieutenant-Colonel
Hall has brought a team back to
play his alma mater.
Three transport planes, two
Douglas DR-5’s and a Sikorsky
amphibian, brought the Marines to
Eugene. Two of the planes landed
at the airport Wednesday after
noon, where a crowd of 3000 wait
ed to welcome the new arrivals and
join the parade which escorted the
players through town to their head
quarters at the Osburn hotel. The
San Diego contingent was met and
formally welcomed by Anse Cor
nell, athletic manager, and Bill
Hayward, track coach.
The third plane, piloted by the
flight commander, Colonel C. A.
Larkin, and containing Lieutenant
Colonel Hall, was unable to locate
the field because of the fog. Colo
nel Larkin went on to Albany,
where he and his passengers land
ed and drove back to Eugene.
Sergeant D. M. Beeson, who han
dles the Marine publicity, arrived
last night after driving up from
San Diego with the equipment.
Thirty ball players and the plane
crew bring the total number of
Marines in town to 55.
Both athletic and reserved seat
tickets will be on sale at McArthur
court all day. From closing time
until game time they will be sold
at the field.

Singing Sheets
Prove Surprise
At ASUO Meet
Freshmen were almost given
their hardest and most novel place
ment test last night at the associ
ated student assembly—singing
from a business administration fi
nal. When the song sheet package
was torn open, 1,000 B.A. exams
were found instead, much to the
surprise and chagrin of the upper
classmen in charge.
Students explained that they
dashed to the press office in the
afternoon for the song sheets and
grabbed what they thought was
the correct bundle.
Firesides Planned
For Women Pledges
Sorority houses have been giving
their new pledges a taste of college
life with fireside evenings taking
place in almost every women’s liv
ing organization.
Features of Oregon’s traditional
fireside evenings are the gather
ing of the whole house about the
fireplace after closing hours, sing
ing sorority and college songs, and
devouring light refreshments.
Date for Open House has not
definitely been set yet but students
are eagerly looking forward to the
"bunion derby.”
Deserts which begin in several
weeks will help new students get
acquainted.

Temporary Leave
From Conscription
By TOM WRIGHT
How will the Burke-Wadsworth selective service bill affect the
Uoiversity of Oregon student?
That is the question being asked by eligible students who will be
required to register -under provisions of the law on October 16, 1940.
Every student between the ages of 21 and 35 with the exception of
those men in advanced courses of the ROTC, will be required to regis

"Every business in Eugene is

It was awfully nice iof the Dads’

To start saving up all their dough
For some beautiful gates
With some fancy iron grates
That make quite an elegant show.
We thank you a lot for your gates,

As does anyone else who has seen

Why don't you start saving
Your dough to start paving
Some kind of highway between

Yearbook Heads
Promise Buyers
Unconventionality
Today at registration students
will have their first opportunity to
order the 1941 version of the Ore
gana, the University All-American
yearbook.
The full price of the book is $5,
but a payment plan has been de
vised in order that students may
pay for it a dollar a term. Students
who pay the full price for their
athletic card have a dollar reduc
tion coming to them with the pur
chase of the yearbook. On all or
ders $1 must be placed as a de
posit.
New Style
Wilbur Bishop, editor, has been
working out the details of present
ing in words and pictures the
year’s activities in an entirely new
method of yearbook style. George
Root, educational activities mana
ger, said that students, faculty
members and friends of the Uni
versity that purchase a copy of
the 1941 Oregana will not be dis
appointed with this new way of
presentation.
Record Expected
Dick Williams, third-year busi
ness manager, is anticipating an
other record year for sales. "Last
year’s record of 2300 copies sold,
will probably be smashed by about
150,” he stated.
"More and more the students are
realizing that a few years after
they purchase the Oregana, they
wouldn't part with it for ten times
the original price,” he said.
