I was sure it was in Oregon—that’s where the apples grow, isn’t it? This is a swell state, ought to play it up. Those fellows in the magazines who put Crater lake, Hood River, and Timberline lodge in other states have got lead in their—. Are you sure ev erybody’s having a good time? I like everything to eat but on ions. Those boys at Fort Lewis sure had a swell time. It was fun playin’ for ’em. I come from a long line of professors.

Frosh to Hold Dance May 23 The Frosh Glee will burst upon Oregon students on May 23, in stead of this weekend, according to Og Young, chairman of the big freshman dance. “Mortar Board has consented to let the frosh have the last dance of the year,” said Og, “al though it has been a tradition in the past that Mortar Board have the last dance.” The freshman class is said to be dickering for one of the top bands of the land. The education al activities office has approved the student body’s request for two big bands this year, and it remains to be seen if the Frosh Glee gets one of them. Committees have been appoint ed for the big dance and will be announced as soon as the edu cational activities office ap proves them. “The class of ’44 should have plenty of energy and pep—to put the Frosh Glee over,” said Og. “We’re hoping for one o’clock permission, too.” Holders of freshman class cards are entitled to a 50-cent reduc tion on the Frosh Glee.
