for at the cage in Gerlinger, und
the practice periods will last for
one half hour, according to Elise
Older.
In order to participate in the
games, each team member must
have had a heart check. “Miss
Thompson, examiner, will be in the
corrective room on the third floor
of Gerlinger on Monday, Wednes
day, and Friday of this week from
4 to 5:30," stated the new basket
ball manager. “Girls are urged to
have their examinations early, as
only those names which are turned
in by Friday will be allowed to
play.”

that this year's squad is one of the

same opinion.

HEART QUEEN
Vaien tine Girl Con test
Has Male Competitors
By BOB WHITFXY
Oregon's latest contest, “The
IJeal Valentine Girl” is really
drawing the beauty of the cam
pus. Already many names have
been turned in to the judges, and
the lucky winner will have her
picture pul in one of the forthcom
ing issues of Life magazine.
According to various people
connected with the contest, every
thing was going along smoothly
until late yesterday afternoon
when a technicality in the con
test nearly created a minor riot.
Odd Choices
Among those girls nominated, a
now form of competition came into
the central office when the names
of Professors J. D. Barnett, head
of the political science depart
ment, and Norman Erstast Wiener,
future barrister, were submitted
to compete for the title.
Technically they can’t compete
for the title, but still again their
names have been turned in. It’s a
situation without precedent. It
would prove highly embarrassing
for a man to be the ideal valen
tine girl.
Wiener Surprised
Professor Barnett, better known
as Professor Barnett, was not
to be found for bis views on this
alarming situation, and could not
be reached regarding a statement.
Mr. Wiener, who can he reached
at any time was more than happy
to make a statement on this oddity
of the campus.
"Frankly, I’m quite undone,”
Mr. Wiener stated in between
briefs, "I had no idea that my
name, among hundreds of other
males, would be linked with Pro
fessor Barnett's in representing
the ideal what was it girl? It
was a girl, wasn't it ?
Personality Kid
"I will have to rely solely upon
my personality and known oomph,
which 1 will disclose later, to bring
in the votes,” Mr. Wiener contin
ued, "and 1 will launch a barn
storming campaign immediately.
"In any situation such as this,”
he concluded. "I can always count
on my brothers from Fenton hall
to bring me through victorious.”

ble for this total which exceeds by
far the recordings of any previous
term. These records are filed with
class instructors and serve as aid
in teaching. They also afford the
students the. opportunity of hear
ing their own voices as others
hear them.

noted.
'Berkeley Sauare'
Production Plans
Road Performance

ing to Adrian Martin, business
manager.

to Marshfield by popular demand.

expected. Rehearsals will begin
soon under the direction of Mrs. \
Ottilie Seybolt, head of the drama
division.
Oregon Mittmen

According to the coaching in
telligence, Oregon's ringmen will
be paired with all of the schools in
the Northern division conference
except the University of Washing
ton, if present time differences can
be ironed out.
Tough Meets
Barring a rift in negotiations,
followers of the fistic world will
see Webfoot sluggers punch their
way to Corvallis to meet the Beav
ers, swing inland for a date with
the Vandals at Moscow, stop over
at Pullman to argue with Washing
ton State, and return to Eugene for
a return tussle with OSC.
In addition to these matches
Oregon Mittmen will probably
tangle with Pacific I', again this
year. Last season Corley's men
downed Pacific twice.
Add to the above several earn-’
pus intersquad meets and the an
swer looks like a very busy season
for the Duck knuckle men.
