Coeds Plan Nickel Hop Informal Campus Dance to Resemble Fall Bunion Derby Plans are going- ahead for the Nickel Hop, January 8, first so cial event of the winter term. According to Marge Curtis and Adele Canada, co-chairmen of the affair, the girls in charge of mu sic and proceeds from each liv ing organization are getting their records in order so that the boys will really get their money’s worth when they come to dance. The Nickel Hop is an annual af fair and resembles the Bunion Derby in that it is a “walk from house to house’’ affair for the boys. All the proceeds of the hop will be turned into the AWS to be used for a scholarship fund. Later in the term, a certain number of girls will be chosen to receive scholarships of $30 each. The sum left will go into the loan fund. “We feel that campus clothes will be best for the Hop,’’ said Marge Curtis, “the boys will be paying their nickels for an infor mal good time.” Architects’ Club Yuletide Party Set for Tonight The annual Christmas party of the Architecture club will be held this evening in the little gallery at the art school. According to Walt Brown, pres ident of the club, every member will bring a small present to put under the Christmas tree. After some early evening songs, games, and refreshments, Profes sor Willeox will distribute the gifts to everyone present. There is a long standing cus tom in the Architecture club to give all of these presents to some downtown charitable organization following the evening's fun, atid this year the club will do the same thing. A regular open discussion of ar chitectural problems will conclude the party. Library Committee To Meet in Portland The Oregon library association’s executive committee will meet in Portland December 28 to outline a program for the year’s work, Willis Warren, president of the or ganization and periodical librarian and executive assistant in the Uni versity library, declared yesterday. Special attention will be given to the library certification bill, which the legislative committee is planning to submit to the state legislature in January. The bill would increase standards among the personnel in the future but would not oust those in their pres ent positions, Mr. Warren ex plained.

Flu No Barrier To Class work, Advises Miller Spiking campus rumors that school would he closed early be cause of the influenza epidemic, Dr. Fred N. Miller, University physician declared Monday that he would not advise such action. “Under no circumstances that now seem at all possible will a rec ommendation be made to close the University before the regular time,” he wrote in a letter to the Emerald. Dr. Miller pointed out that the flu epidimic was prevalent on the Pacific coast, and that to close school would not lessen the possi bility of exposure. The flu is of a mild type, he said, and a few days rest is usually sufficient to cure it. Actually, he said, the past few days have shown a definite de crease in the number of new cases. Even should there be another in crease, there would be no need for 1 closing the University, he said. Epidemic Losing Strength, Latest Count Discloses “In spite of the medicinal “fra grance” around1 the famed flu institution over on IThirteenth street, the wandering newsboy was able to survive, and com piled a sizable list of victims. These include: Phyllis Rick ets, Donna Ketchum, Ula Beard, I Mary Ellen Smith, Elizabeth I Buckalew, Virginia James, Win ifred Ebbert, Helen Tucker, Mar guerite Pettit, Marie Orwick, Virginia Marshall, Clyde Hollen beck, James Hafenbrack, Reed Gurney, Allen Cellars, Stan All J dredge, Porter Underwood, Ho mer Thomas, Clinton Childs, Don Lafferty, Wallace Lee, Perry Hoffman, James Hickey, Rob ert Lafky, Bruce McIntosh, John Jensen, Jim Marnie, William Nylen, and Ronald Dilling. Many of the new "residents” have been moved to the infirm ary from the houses as their ill ness made it necessary. On the whole, the flu epidem ic is improving and less cases have been reported, it was re vealed.

Important. Epidemic Alibis Flu Offers Excuses ForPoten tialPatien ts By BOB VVIIITKLY "These flu germs make me sick,” quoted one of our more il lustrious sophomores late yester day. The truth of the matter lies in the fact that quite a few Oregon ans “have gotten the bug.” Things reached such a state Wednesday that the annual sophomore infor mal was beached until next term. Various Symptoms Cited For a disease of this sort, symp toms vary a great deal. Some com plain of headaches, sore throat and a bad cough. Others state that they are burning up with fever and there are butterflies in their stomachs. Still there are always those individuals who "just don't feel well," either from worrying about final exams or some other and various sundry matter. It’s funny how something of '.his nature can upset even the se verest orf routine. Whether you are afflicted or not, here are just a few of the stories you can use if you want to. Do You Need Excuses? For boys: 1. Sorry, I can’t hit the tub flu, you know. 2. Well, I’d LOVE to go out with you, but I have a touch of the flu, and I don’t think it would be such a good idea might spread germs. 3. I slept in this morning on ac count I think the flu’s got me. Feel pretty rotten. 4. By golly, I just CAN’T wait tables this week, It’s It’s unsani tary. 5. Can’t go to military—my feet will get wet and besides I’ve got the flu, too. This type of excuse can go on indefinitely, with nine out of ten chances — successfully. All you have to do is cough one of the “wheezer” type, and you’re safe. It’s Easy for Girls The gals can do wonders with this type of situation. Almost any thing will fit. Here are just a few of them. 1. But Cyril, you CAN’T kiss me -Do you want to get it ? 2. This Saturday? I’m afraid that I just can’t make it. I've been awfully sick—really. Some other time, No?—No. 3. Don’t drink out of my coke glass! It’s terribly contagious. Why once— then proceed and drink your coke all by yourself. 4. If a trout comes over to see you, and you aren’t in a receptive mood, just try the No. 3 cough (which starts in the diaphragm) and he will politely say that you should be in bed, and will kindly leave you- and then you can play with the girls or go down to the Side with someone else. If quizzed, just say 'Twas only a frog in my throat, and pass it off at that. Fifth Allied Art League Bazaar Set for Friday The art league bazaar, spon sored by the Allied Arts league, has been definitely scheduled for Friday, December 13. The sale and exhibit will be held in the little gallery of the art build ing, starting at 2 in the afternoon and continuing through the eve ning. According to Lance Hart, assist ant professor of drawing and painting, this year there should be a much larger sale than ever be fore. Chiefly because the bazaar will have a larger collection of rep resentative work, and the prices will be kept as low as possible. Monotypes will be shown and sold in the bazaar for the first time. There will also be a collection of paintings, pottery, sketches, water colors, and all types of metal work, including table decorations, tin ware, and Christmas tree orna ments. Some weaving products will also be put in the booths, besides many hand-made Christmas cards, block prints, and some special ceramic sculpture pieces. A Christmas tree adds a sea sonal touch to a holiday display of books in the browsing room of the library. Concert Set For Tonight Orchestra to Close Fall Music Season With Symphony A melodious and entertaining climax to the fall term music sea son on the University of Oregon campus will come this evening at 8:15 in the music auditorium on the campus when the 62-member University of Oregon symphony orchestra is directed in concert by Rex Underwood and sponsored by the educational activities board. The program is mostly classical, but a number of lighter works are to be played, Mr. Underwood said. One of the most popular is expect ed to be “The Sorcerer’s Appren tice" by the French composer, Paul Dukas. The selection plays an important part in the new car toon full-length feature, Walt Dis ney's "Fantasia.” The string section of the orches tra will take over for perform ance of Handel’s "Concerto Gros so No. 2,” and the complete group will follow with the third “Leo nore” overture of Ludwig von Beethoven. The Allegretto and Fi nale from Brahms’ first symphony will also be preformed. Verne Sellin, violinist from Ev erett, Wash., will be featured in the concluding selection by the or chestra, the first movement (Al legro Appassionato) of Mendels sohn’s violin concerto. The num ber gained a large popularity re cently when it was played by Oliv ia de Haviland in the movie, “My Love Come Back.” The concert will be free to hold ers of ASUO activity cards, while a nominal charge will be made to others. Libe to Remain Open On Weekend Nights To accommodate students pre paring: for final examinations all departments of the library will be open until 9 o’clock this Friday and Saturday night, M. H. Doug lass, librarian, reminded yesterday. Vacation hours will be 9 to 6 o'clock every day except Sundays, Christmas, and New Year’s, Mr. Douglass announced.
