Eleanor Roosevelt May Appear at UO
Tiger Payne Initiates Seven-Point Program
Rally Squad
To Promote
Game Stunts
Revision Planned
For Constitution,
Executive Offices
By WES SULLIVAN
In an attempt to clear many of
the impending- matters in connec
tion with student government,
ASUO President "Tiger" Payne re
vealed a seven-point program yes
terday designed to govern student
body policies for the coming term.
Action by Payne included:
1. Appointing a committee to
reorganize the rally squad.
2. Appointing a committee to
revise the constitution to cover
ASUO activities.
3. Naming a committee to de
cide on unified action in the mat
ter of class cards.
4. Moving ASUO office plans
towards completion.
5. Moving to investigate the
possibilities of greater student
voting on the athletic board.
6. Investigating the possibil
ities of partial reorganization of
the executive committee.
7. Planning a drive to insure
closer, more unified action her
tween the heads of living or
ganizations and the interfratern
ity council.
Les Anderson, Pat Keller, and
Lyle Nelson were appointed as a
committee to aid in reorganizing
the rally squad. Payne hopes that
in the future the rally committee
will take care of half-time stunts
and rallies, leaving an enlarged yell
squad to lead the cheering.
John Cavanagh was appointed
chairman of the constitutional
committee formed to revise the stu
dent body constitution. George
Luoma and Wendell Wyatt are oth
er committee members.
Card Issue
In an attempt to stimulate class
spirit and decide the question of
class cards, Payne appointed a
committee of nine to consider pos
sible action towards class unity.
The members of the committee are
Jack Hay, chairman, Roy Vern
strom, Betty Buchanan, George
Luoma, Charles Woodruff, and the
class presidents. The purpose of
the committee is to find the causes
for disagreements in the classes,
not just the effects, Payne said.
Two Workers
Francis Cox and Gloria Difford
will handle /much of the work in
the new central ASUO office, ac
cording to Payne. They will set up
regular office hours, check eligibil
ity, get complete reports from ev
ery activity, make suggestions for
improvement, and keep a file of all
activity work done to be used in
making future appointments.
An investigation will be made as
to the possibilities of greater stu
dent voting on the athletic board,
^ Payne said. There are many mem
bers who have no vote, just the
privilege of sitting in on the meet
ings. The investigation will try to
determine whether those members
should have the right to vote.
Wider Choice
Investigation of the executive
committee's powers will try to de
termine a fairer distribution of
representation, Payne declared. A
tentative proposal allows for non
voting members from fraternity
and independent ranks.
“Tiger” Payne also urged closer
cooperation between the heads of
living organizations and the mter
fraternity council.
In announcing his plans Presi
dent Payne stated that he hoped
they would lead to increased inter
est in activities on the University
campus.

Record Sale Quota
Already Reached
Calling off the proposed athletic

already been contacted. However,
the athletic cards will be avail
able at Johnson hall or the ath
letic office,” Gurley stated.
Having gone over the expected
quota about 700 tickets, Gurley

WINTER...
WAA to Bring
Eddie Gipson
To Gerlinger
Jack Frost to Rule
At Gerlinqer Fete
On Saturday Night
—
The WAA snow man which will
decorate the floor in Gerlinger at
the WAA informal, January 11,
may melt into the warm
swing of Eddie Gipson, but he’ll
be found again on the programs.
Ruth Hartley, on the dance com
mittee, has announced that pro
grams will be blue with white
snow-men on them to fit the Win
ter Wonderland theme.
Paper Skiers
Paper skiers will be in various
Christie stages around the fir
trees that will be used as floor
decorations. The false ceiling will
be made up of big white balloons.
The dance is strictly a boy-dates
girl affair, though it is sponsored
by the WAA. It will be the second
dance sponsored by them.
The one held last year had a
Winter Wonderland theme, and a
fashion show of ski togs was pre
sented at intermission.
Sale Started
There are representatives in ev
ery men’s organization who are
selling tickets at $1 apiece.
According to Miss Hartley, there
has been a swift rise in ticket
sales and a big crowd is expected
at the dance which will succeed
the basketball game between
Washington State and Oregon.
CAA Ratings Given
Five More Students
With the addition of five stu
dents over the week-end, a total
of fourteen civilian pilot instruc
tion flyers under the Civil Aero
nautics authority have taken their
final test flight and completed the
necessary number of solo hours
for a private pilot's license, ac
cording to the campus CAA office.
Those who completed their solo
flying since Friday are: Steve
Worth, Johnny Loback, David
Rementeria, Heiyy Wagner, and
Rod McMillen. The five boys are
students of Lloyd Lampman who
has left Eugene to teach an ad
vanced flying course at Albany.
Ground school will continue till
the last of January for the entire
class, most of which will have com
pleted their final flying test at
that time.
Co-op to Distribute
Student Directories
To accommodate new students,
and the old who were unable to
purchase a student directory last
term, 20 copies have been put on
sale at the University co-op. The
guides will sell for 25 cents.
Aid in the heavy "pigging” ex
pected winter term, due to the
number of social events scheduled,
has been suggested as a practical
use for the directories. They also
contain a complete list of faculty
members including both Univer
sity and home phone and address.
Don Cossacks Mark
By MILDRED WILSON
Twice-tested on University and
Eugene audiences, and labeled ex
ceptional and unique entertain
ment, the Don Cossack chorus of
34 singing giants, led by little
Serge Jaroff, will appear in Mc
Arthur court a week from tonight.
This is the third big concert to be
presented by the educational ac
tivities department on their 1940
41 series and all University stu
dents will be admitted.
Brought together as a singing
unit over two decades ago by
their popular, diminutive leader
Jaroff, the Cossacks were formed
in a prison camp near Constantin- i
ople where they were interned at
the close of the world war. All
former members of the Russian
white army, the singing and danc
ing chorus are out of sympathy
with the present form of govern
ment in Russia and 26 will become
fully naturalized United States
citizens this year.
Large Repertory
With a repertory of over 200
songs, unusual in that it is tri-de
partmental, the chorus will sing
liturgies of the Russian Orthodox
church, poignant folk songs and
the wild unrestrained Cossack
fighting songs. Sure to be includ
ed on the program is "The Volga
Boatman,” which has been sung by
the Cossacks at over 4,000 con
certs, and is their most requested
number.
Each year the handsome Cos
sacks are found to speak a shade
better English, although they still
depend upon their facial expres
sions or a shrugged "I do not un
derstand" to the questions asked
them by admiring coeds. It may
be reassuring, however, to learn
that only 15 of the 34 are married
| yet.

ASUO BOARD
ASUO Board
To Slate Talk
By First Lady
Group Reappoints
Luoma Assistant
Activities Manager
WHAT THE BOARD DID
1. Voted to bring Eleanor Roose
velt to the eampus providing a
suitable date can be arranged. The
first lady’s talk will be an extra
feature of the student activity
program.
2. Appointed George Luoma as
sistant educational activities man
ager for winter and spring terms.
Luoma held the position fall term.
3. Heard a report of Oregana
sales to date, including the num
ber of books sold at winter term
registration.
4. Vote to make the band con
cert Sunday afternoon in the mu
sic school free to all students.
5. Heard a report of the special
features committee on special
events sponsored, or to be spon
sored, by that committee.
6. Approved a budget report for
the entire educational activities
system.
7. Heard a report by Mr. George
Root of a publication’s managers
convention in California.
Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady of
the nation, will appear here if a
suitable date for an address can
be arranged, the educational ac
tivities board decided last, night.
Mrs. Roosevelt’s talk will be pre
sented as an extra feature of the
educational activities program and
will be free to students, the board
decided.
The first lady has never ap
peared before a Eugene audience
and only once or twice in the state
so it will be the first opportunity
for many students to see her. She
is making a very limited speaking
tour of the West some time this
spring. Final plans depend upon
the possibility of securing a suit
able date for the talk.
Upon the recommendation of
Educational Activities Manager
George Root, the board appointed
George Luoma as assistant educa
tional manager for winter and
spring terms. Luoma has handled
the job the past term.
Only 75 Oreganas out of a total
of 2700 remain to be sold, an
Oregana report revealed. These
books will be sold to students this
term until the supply of 75 is ex
hausted. At spring term registra
tion last year 270 books were sold
out of a larger surplus. This year
with publication already started,
many of the late buyers will not
be able to purchase the yearbook,
they report.
The band concert, to be given
Sunday afternoon in the music au
ditorium, will be free to students
and townspeople, the board voted.
The board also approved a re
port of the special features com
mittee that several speeches, edu
cational pictures, art exhibits, etc.,
will be announced in the future.
