Big'Laddie'Gale Gets First Call Iu Draft Lottery Maybe it's because his six feet, four inches are as conspicuous as a lotern pole in a toothpick factory, but Lauren "Laddie” Gale, Oregon '39, was the first man from board one in Lane county 1o be summoned in the draft as officials in Washington, It. O., drew the capsule contain ing his number 158 from the , "fishbowl" yesterday. As the same numbers were is sued in each district in the coun try, Laddie was first simultan eously with other 158s all over the nation. Gale, who is now running a downtown service sta tion with former teammate Ur gel "Slim” Winterrnute, was chosen NLA All American for ward for his work on Oregon’s 1939 national championship bas ketball team.

Alums Will Register Friday, November 8 Homecoming registration for Oregon alums will begin at 1 o’ clock Friday, November 8, at John son hall and will continue till game time Saturday, Elmer Fansett, alumni secretary, announced. Upon filling out a card with the neces sary information, each alum will receive a Homecoming badge. “About 700 alums registered last year,” Fansett declared, "but there will probably be less this year, be cause we do not play Oregon State. However, reports indicate a fairly high registration regardless of that fact." The majority of returning stu dents are front Oregon, but there are some from Washington and California, Fansett said. “We try to build up a program to draw them to Eugene and hold them here for the entire period of Home coming, not for just a day or so,” he added. Leeper Discusses Hitler's Program Dr. Robert Leeper, assistant professor of psychology, spoke in Portland Monday evening as a member of a panel on the sub |ect, "Personality Development as Illustrated by Hitler, Goeiing, and joebbels." Dr. Leeper’s specific topic was Hitler. The panel discussion was part, of llie 1940 lecture series on "The Psychology of Personality Devel opment" which is sponsored by he Oregon Mental Hygiene society. In his speech Dr. Leeper stressed the reasons why Hitlers’ program had appealed to the German peo ple, while the same theories have made little impression in the Unit ed States. Dr. Leeper declared that it was a patriotic move and ap pealed to Germans’ devotion of their country. Also, experience had taught them that force was the only method by which they could get desired concessions. Dr. Leeper emphasized the point that the education of the Germans teaches them to obey not think. He remarked that the Nazi regime had recognized a weakness in de mocracy in that individualism was sometimes stressed to such a point that it injured Hie general social well-being. Kappa Alpha Theta Holds Reception Kappa Alpha Theta sorority held a formal reception Tuesday in honor of Mrs. Donald B. Sinclair of Toronto, Canada, grand presi dent of the group, and Mrs. Alex Hansen, new house mother for the campus chapter. The receiving line included Miss Janet Foster, chapter president; Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, Mrs. Hansen, and Mrs. Sinclair. Those pouring were Mrs. George Fitch, Mrs. L. W. Brooksliier, Mrs. Mary C. Brockelbank, and Mrs. Alice B. Macduff. Crosland to Speak Monday in Condon Recent and current psychological research will be discussed by Dr. H. R. Crosland at a meeting of the psychology research symposium Monday at 4 p.m. in 324 Condon. Dr. Crosland taught at Stanford last year. Interested faculty mem bers are invited to attend. For Men Only The west coast, the war, and the English schoolboy, are having a great deal of influence this fall on what the college man wears about the campus, in classes, and over the weekends. The same trend to more comfort and relaxed informality that made such strong headway in colleges and universities last year is even more pronounced this fall. This 1 trend is emphasized by the in creased use of color in all clothes— formal and informal—which, after a good many years of getting no further than the “fad" stage, now seems to have taken a secure hold. Important Point The important point about the arrival of color on botli the cam pus ami business scene this fall is thnt it is like the famed monkey of Warmth Without Weight In style for the coming holidays. That means you'll want to be wear ing one of these new top coats. The coat illustrated%above is destined to be one of the leading styles of the seasou. legend who painted his tail sky blue . . . neat but not gaudy . . . and the most popular shades for the 1940-41 season are brown, green, and blue, with some off-reds and grays. Carrying on in even greater fa vor than last year is the plaid jacket, with the plaids bigger and more colorful than ever before, nought materials, long a favor ite ol midwestern and west coast collegians, have gone east to stay. And one of this year’s fall and winter favorites in American col leges is the camel’s hair ‘'shorty," or not-quite-knee-length sport top coat. This number has extra large pockets, equipped with slide fasten ings inside, big enough to hold books and accumulated odds and ends. Plaid Jacket Worn with tlie plaid jacket this fall are covert slacks, which are gaining- preference over the fa-; voted gray flannels, and the solid color pull-over wool sweater, with or without sleeves, and matching wool tie. This sweater-vest has been popular for a number of years among university men. Topcoats this fall also continue last year’s trend to shortness with large pockets. The favorite throughout Western colleges and universities is the single-breasted tly-front with peaked lapels, worn as a complimentary item with the single-breasted peaked-lapel suit. Still Conservative Footwear is still conservative for the most part, with the shoes in the brown and practically staple bootmaker finish. Argyle and wool socks in plain color continue to dominate. Plaid and striped wool ties are more popular than ever because of the lasting value, and they offer a greater style variety than last j year. Browns and yellows and blues | and greens are the favorites in plaids. Narrow stripes and heather mixtures run the plaids u close second. The same felt hat with the "quadrangular" crease, which has been popular with collegians, for more than ten years, is still seen to the exclusion of all other types for day-in-day-out wear. The predom inant shade this fall, as it was before college let out in the spring, is khaki—which may or may not be the military influence. (Courtesy the Register-Guard) HOPE THE BEDS ARE LONG When Horny L. Stinison, secretary of war, drew the first number 158—in tlie national draft lottery yesterday, Laddie Gale, ex-Oregon basketball star, learned that his was the first number. Members of the world’s champion basketball team of 1939, Laddie and Slim Winter mute are operating a service station in Eugene. Gamma Alpha Chi Pledges Ten Girls Ten girls received their brown and yellow pledge ribbons Tuesday night making them neophytes of Zeta chapter of Gamma Alpha Chi, national women’s advertising hon orary. During dinner the active mem bers called at the various sorori ties and pinned the new pledges who are: Janet Farnham, Bette Morfitt, Betty Plankinton, Betty Mac Lind, Maxine Cunning, Emily Tyree, Helene Wilmot, Jeannette Christensen, Peggy Faria, and Mary Ellen Smith. Traditions (Continued from page one) “The sixth tradition, no smok ing on the old part of the campus, will be observed from University street to Kincaid and between 11th and 13th streets. Tin pants for the frosh and moleskins or blue jeans for sophomores were designated as most members of these two classes are already supplied with this tra ditional class wear,” Jim Rathbun, Order of the “O” president, said last night. Lettermen to Check “The observance of this second coming of campus traditions will be checked on by the Order of the “O" men," Jim Rathbun asserted Lists of offenders will be pub lished in the Emerald each morn ing. Those on the lists will gather on the steps of Fenton hall at 12:45 each day for the “traditional" pun ishment. Those whose names are on the list who fail to appear will be tracked down and punishment to fit the crime will be meted out on the spot, according to the rules as laid down by the Homecoming committeemen. Midland college faculty mem bers traveled an average of almost 2,000 miles on lecture tours and convention trips during the last school semester.

Hiving organizations will submit their ideas to the office where they will be inspected by the commit tee. Tf it is found that any two or more organizations have submit ted the same idea, the committee will notify the contestants. The or ganization turning in the idea first will be allowed to keep their theme. Limit Expenses An expense limit of $15 for the construction of signs has been an nounced by the committee. All or ganizations must make a budget which will be turned in the day folloking the judging. Tf it is found that any organization has exceeded the limit, they will be disqualified. “This year,” stated A1 Gray, committee chairman, “the contest will have two prizes instead of the usual one. In the past the cup has been offered to the sign adjudged best from the men’s and women's living organizations, but this year we are giving a cup to the best women’s sign as well as one for the men.” Last year’s winner, Theta Chi, will have permanent possession of the cup as they have won the con test three years in a row. Mikulak Praises (Combined from page three) mate, Jack Emigh, not-so-big but a rugged 150-pound chunk of souped up football player. Despite this revelation of Mon tana might, Oregon’s Webfooters looked siyghtly on the not-so-sharp side as they splashed around in practice last night. Coach Tex Oli ver threw two teams at the frosh ball club and the best the big boys could do was a 7 to 6 win before darkness blackened out the field. Infirmary Boys Want Dessert; Plan Squelched Even the patients in the in firmary believe in having ex change desserts. This is not a poll, door to door survey, but the real thing. It seems that those fellas con fined in ward eight were getting a little lonely last night, so they wrote a formal note and asked the gals in ward three to come down, and they would have a gay old time. Somehow the nurses in terfered with the idea — (sabo tage—ed. note.) and the plan went askew. The boys did, how ever, get one of the two radios in the girls' possession, so it all ended with a dessert by remote control. It was a good idea though; they had the spirit, any way. Four new patients came in to day, swelling the total to 12. They include: Betty Miller, Libby Eades, Florence Anderson, Au drey Brugger, Margaret Kortge, Betty Klien, Mary Jean Robin son, W. Garong, Don Seeley, Ray Pigott, John Hazard, Eileen Cooper, and Bob Herndon.
