FANTASTIC TOE ... Dancers to Feature 'American Themes’ Unusual Lighting, Beautiful Costumes, Aid O'Donnell, Limon Dance Program With Adagio and Acrobatic Flourishes Aladdin's Mat Was Nothing Like This Rug Effects of Junior weekend's “Arabian Nights" theme are al ready being felt, particularly by E,/.te Morfitt, weekend lunch eon chairman. Little Miss Morfitt perched precariously on a pseudo m’agic carpet (floor rug from room 52 Zeta hall). Gene Brown, Jim Car ney, Buck Buchwac-h, and Jack Saltzman, weekend big wrigs, were apparently propelling the carpet through the breeze two feet or so above terra firma. While this bizarre outfit posed, Cameraman George Godfrey went to work. After the second "shot," the magic, geni, and all, suddenly deserted the carpet, and Miss Morfitt was sitting on the floor very unladylike following a rath er rude jolt. Dinner Will Honor Harvard Teacher A dinner honoring Dr. Ernst von Brucke will be given at the Faculty club April 5 at 6 p.m. Faculty club members are re quested to make reservations by calling Mrs. Mon jay (Campus 248) before Thursday noon. Dr. Brucke, now a member of the faculty of the Harvard uni versity medical school, was for merly professor of psychology at the University of Innsbruck. Attractive, vital, original and perfectly trained, May O'Donnell and Jose Limon, two of Ameri ca's outstanding young dancers, will appear tonight at 8 o’clock on the stage of McArthur court. Free to all students with edu cational activities cards, the pro gram titled, "Dances on Ameri can Themes,” is sponsored joint ly by the women's physical edu cation department and the edu cational activities board. A special feature of the pro gram is the original background music furnished by Ray Green, outstanding young American composer. Mr. Green has won many prizes for composition and has appeared on the concert stage in both Europe and the United States. Adagio and acrobatic flourish es are incorporated into the vari ous numbers of the dance duo, to give a more universal appeal. Unusual lighting effects and beautiful costumes—including a hand-painted silk gown worn by Miss O'Donnell—add to the gen eral theatrical effect. Limon comes direct from top solo dancing parts in such Broad way plays as ‘‘Keep Off the Grass,” "As Thousands Cheer,” and “I’d ’Rather Be Right.” The teaming of Mr. Limon and Miss O'Donnell is a recent innovation and this is their first concert tour since the merger. Non-student admission prices are 75 cents and $1. The dance team first appeared together at Mills college in Cali fornia last year. Their program is divided into four main sections.

' Wini' Green Scores High For Hendricks Wini Green, Hendricks hall, isn't sure whether or not it was an April Fool's day joke, but she is sure she'll be a pretty busy person around the Oregon cam pus during the next year. It all happened wrhen the inter dormitory council met and elect ed Wini secretary-treasurer for the coming year, though she wasn't present. Wini didn't know about this. She was half a campus away at a meeting of Oregon’s heads of houses where she was elected president, the first independent woman to hold this office in seven years.

Student Record Lists Activities 'More Efficiency' For Appointments, Says Busterud All students in campus activi ties will be included in a person nel file, now being completed by educational activities staff work ers.

He added that the data in the file might be used in giv ing references to graduates. I'he new system will probably be completed about April 7, Bus terud' stated. Each student tak ing part in one of the ^6 listed campus activities will be cata loged, and a permanent staff will keep the files up to date. Personnel cards list three types of activities: publications, all campus events, and student administration.
