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.
Although Oregon students may
firitf themselves selected in the
first drawing, they can claim
exemption automatically provid
ed they have enrolled before Jan
uary 1, 194 1. They will not be
called before July I, 1941.
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.

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

bers called at the various sorori
ties and pinned the new pledges

Morfitt, Betty Plankinton, Betty
Mac Lind, Maxine Cunning, Emily
Tyree, Helene Wilmot, Jeannette

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

Annual Contest
Gets Under Way
Entry Deadline
Set by Committee
For Saturday Noon
"All ideas for signs to be entered
in the Homecoming sign contest
must be submitted to the Univer
sity of Oregon alumni office by
noon, Saturday, November 2, it
was announced Monday.
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.

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.
