Miller Band Rumor
Quelled bg Frosh
Official denial of rumors that
Glenn Miller’s orchestra would
play for the Frosh Glee May 24
came last night when Ted Hal
loclc, in charge of music for the
Glee, said that Miller was “sewed
up’’ for the month of May.
Hallock declared that he want
ed to “quench this rumor’’ before
it grows too prevalent. He said
that he was "sorry the rumor
had started,” but that the Frosh
Glee committee was still work
ing to secure a big-name band
for the May affair.
Arrangements were being
made, Hallock related, through
the General Amusement corpor
ation of Los Angeles. Norman K.
Doyle, agent of the company, no
tified the Frosh Glee committee
that Miller would start his North
west tour about June 6.
Hallock said he believed Miller
would' be in Portland about the
middle of June.

Homer Thomas, sheriff cf the bevvhiskered sophomore class males,
here resigns himself to the worst. The three girls, objecting to the
dutiful sheriff’s beard, have decided to deprive “Samson” of his power.
While Janet Farnham applies the shaving cream, Nancy Rieseh
stands ready with a maniacal smile and lethal-looking razor. Betty
Jane Biggs holds scissors. Bill Rapson, dangerously close, kibitzes.
Whisker Revolution
Fights Soph Stubble
The age-old sophomore tradi
tion of beard growing escaped
“going on the rocks” yesterday—
but it was a close fight all the
way.
Heading an organized opposi
tion group composed of Betty
Jane Biggs and Janet Farnham,
Nancy Riesch directed a “revolt”
against bearded plans for Friday
night’s Whiskerino, and managed
to temporarily "hold” Sheriff Ho
mer Thomas, chief law-enforcing
agent for the soph affair.
