'Tiger' Payne
Releases Fall
Program Plan
Schedule Will Open
Thursday; Frosh
To Sit in Balcony
Cleeson “Tiger" Payne, ASTJO
president, in an interview today
disclosed a new plan in reference
to student body and pep assemblies
to be followed out this year.
The first student body assembly
■will come on Thursday, October 3,
according to “Tige" and will be
mainly to acquaint the freshmen
with the spirit of the school and
Borne of the customs. During this
assembly the freshmen will sit in
the balcony as they will through
out the year.
There will be five assemblies
Jfall term, pep and student body
combined, and Payne announced
that important matters will be
brought up before the students at
those times.
“There is more school spirit this
year than ever before as exempli
fied by the great increase in sale
of athletic cards. Never before
have so many houses gone 100 per
cent before the end of registration.
Also there will be more enthusiasm
due to the fact that all students
now belong to the student body.”
■ This year he has inaugurated
several new ideas in the handling
of the assemblies. A chairman will
be appointed to handle each, and
efficiency will be increased in that,
manner.
Pat Cloud will be the chairman
of the initial assembly and will ap
point a committee to help him in
details. The cooperation of the
drama, music, and speech depart
ments will be asked at various
times throughout the year as will
that of the entire student body.
Also student talent will be dis
played as often as possible with the
Greek living organizations singing
as before.

new students at 4 o’clock Wednes

The highlight of the program
will be the talk by Mrs. Mar

of the YW. Mrs. DeCou is as fa
miliar with the women’s movement
abroad as she is with it at home,
as she has acted as a member of
the National Board of the Na
tional Women’s Movement.
“I have watched with deep con
cern the fate of the YW women
in Europe,” stated the executive
secretary of the YWCA. The larg
er part of Mrs. DeCou’s speech to
the girls will be the program of
work this year at the University
of Oregon and the dangerous sit
uation with which many of her
YW friends in Europe are faced.

new student spirit, not through the
rally committee but to interest the
students themselves.

New Plag Stage
Crew Has Easg Time
Unique is the word that de
scribes the scene-shifting method
used by the University Flayers in
their forthcoming production,
“Touch Wood.” Instead of chang
ing sets, the audience will move
from the lounge in Gerlinger to the
theater in Johnson hall, where an
exterior scene will be played.
“Touch Wood” will be played in
the lounge of Gerlinger hall, be
cause it is an informal play, and
the small lounge promotes a more
intimate relation between the audi
ence and the actors.
When the play was produced
this summer, the exterior scene
was played outside on the cam
pus. However, due to weather con
ditions, it is slated to take place
in the Johnson hall theater.
Professionally, “Touch Wood” is
known as a perambulating produc
tion, which gives scene-shifters a
vacation, and audience a chance
to stretch cramped legs.
Because of limited seating capac
ity, the drama department has an
nounced in advance that seats will
be limited to one hundred persons
for each performance. All seats
will be reserved.
Radio Group Plans
Varied Programs
Opening the year with new
modern studios in the extension
building, the radio department un
der the direction of D. E. Hargis,
instructor in speech, plans a wider
variety of entertainment over
KOAC and KORE, it was an
nounced yesterday.
According to Mr. Hargis the new
studios include one small studio
and a control room. Included in the
new arrangement is a room to
store sound effects.
Every Thursday from 7:30 to
8:30 KOAC will broadcast a stu
dent hour. The University Theater
of the Air and an interview series
with campus and visiting person
ages will take 45 minutes. The re
maining 15-minute program has
not been selected.
Friday evenings from 7:30 to
8:30 the radio department will

gram will be featured.

That is why more Oreganas were sold yesterday than at
any single day during the history of the Oregana.
We give you 5 more good reasons why you, who didn’t
register yesterday, will order your copy today.
1— It is a tradition that Oregon supports
its yearbook better than any other
student body in the West.
2— Authorities on yearbooks freely admit
* that the Oregana is getting better and
better as each edition rolls off the press.
3— Because old grads wouldn’t sell their
Oregana for I 0 times the money they
paid for it.
4— Because you may use. our Easy Pay
ment Plan.
3—Because the Oregana will be remem
bered long after the price is forgotten.
When ordering your copy be certain your name is
spelled correctly
