VOLUME XLII NUMBER 110 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1041 BIRDS OF A FEATHER — . , , „ _ , Photo by Jimmie Leonard First to leave Mother Earth alone in an airplane in the civilian pilot training course are these student pilots. Sue Cunningham was the first girl to solo, and Jack Hannegan, the first of the men. They are shown here beside one of the Eugene airport planes. They Agree: It's Fun Soloists Say Flight Has Nary a Fright Oregana Talks To Begin Today Editor Bishop Sets Personal Chats With Prospects Anyone who wants to work on the staff of next year’s “bigger and better’’ Oregana, will have an opportunity to be interviewed by Editor Wilbur Bishop this after noon. Stationed at the Oregana office in McArthur court, Bishop will see aspirants from 1:30 p.m. until 5 o’clock. “I’ll have enough work to keep about 25 people busy during the rest of the spring” Bishop de clared. He emphasized that he wanted all veteran members of the year book organization to report also, as many of the upper staff ap pointments wall be made this spring. “Of course the people that come first will get the best posi tions but there wTill be enough work for all those that really want to work,” Bishop said. According to the editor there W'ill be a quantity of general work, some research, and the other customary yearbook duties. “A special project for the rest of this term is the compilation of a style sheet for next year’s use,” Bishop revealed. “Among principal positions to be filled is that of sports editor, with other important posts also waiting for an occupant,” be ‘concluded. Pome No. 132 I have not seen those movies in Chapman, But think that I should begin If the program they’ve fixed ever gets up To that epic called “Gone With the Wind.” —J.W.S. By MILDRED WILSON They’ve never been afraid while flying, they both like to ski (“very much’’) and they lead the feminine and masculine ele ments of spring term “flying fifty’’ as to solo efforts. Sue Cun ningham, first girl soloist, and Jack Hannegan, who led the en tire class, agree on many points. “One of the funniest things the first time I was up alone was see ing the instructor’s stick up in front—just wiggling around by itself—and then of course the plane w'as a lot lighter,” volun teered Hannegan. It Thrills “Seems like there is so much fuss over just soloing—when the flying is really just starting,” Sue chimed in modestly. “But then it was a big thrill,” she added. Jack plans to go into the army air corps after he graduates this June, while Sue is going to use her flight training '"just for a hobby.” Wears Trousers Among various and sundry in formation garnered from Sue: “I always wear clam diggers—they were the only kind of trousers I could borrow. . . . Have to wear them because they strap the parachute around our legs. ... I think a cross-country flight would be lots of fun. . . . Wes Hammond (her instructor) said the plane looked like a scared rabbit on my first take-off . . . and I love to swim.” According to Jack: “Flying is really easier than you’d think it would be. . . . I’m going to give up law until I get out of the air corps. ... I sure like the sunsets in the morning when I fly early enough. . . . Haven’t been sick yet. . . . Spins and stalls are swell — I’m anxious to get in other acrobatic work. . . . Max Green (his instructor) is a swell Joe.” Iowa State college’s 23 build ings are spread over 127 acres. The New Mown Hay Crish Da-Bearded By HERB PENNY “My girl said it tickled," said Tony Crish of the large black brush which won the Sophomore Whiskerino. “When it was shaved off, my chin sure felt light." With the one day beard Tony displayed, the quality of the top Soph beard could be clearly imagined. Nineteen days were spent New Offerings Of Film Series Feature Sound 'Hands/ 'Sunrise' To Show Tuesday In Chapman Hall By MARY WOLF Sound will be featured for the first time tomorrow in the educa tional activities board series of film revival programs in 207 Chapman hall. Two films, "Hands” and "Sunrise” which are fourth on the series will be shown at 2, 4, 6:45, and 8:45 p.m. “Hands,” directed by Mrs. Stel la Simon in 1928, the New York photographer who made the pic ture independently in Berlin, rep resents an experiment which she carried out to discover what could be achieved by treating the film as an abstract pattern in time and space. In a sense, “Hands” is a com promise between the purely ab stract film and the realistic mov ie with a plot. Personality of the actors is excluded and only hands are shown. The music, composed as an integral part of the film, was originally scored for pianola. Executed by the composer as a piano solo, the accompaniment has recently been added to the film. Second on the program is “Sunrise,” produced by Fox Films in 1927. This film is both impres sive and unequal. Throughout the film the photography and the lighting are masterly and the sets unusually photogenic. The tempo both of the acting and of the cutting is well considered and there is a singularly apt use of music. Beta Gamma Sigma To Hear Chappel At Banquet Tonight Bert V. Chappel, department of finance, Portland, is the speak er at tonight’s Beta Gamma Sig ma banquet in the Eugene hotel. The banquet starts immediately after the 6 o’clock initiation cer emonies for Eathel Sutton and Charles Lundquist. Mr. Chappel’s last appearance on the campus was last term when he spoke at the business administration school’s student business conference on civil serv ice. His topic tonight is “The Day Is Coming.” Guest of honor at the dinner meeting will be Orville Marcellus, recently named “BA freshman of the year” by the commerce hon orary. The price of the dinner is 75 cents. IN TODAYS EMERALD Edits . 4, 5 Sports . 6, 7 News. Calendar 1, 2, 3, 8 .. 5 growing the winning ornament. No Cups Tony trimmed up his mustache a bit but he let the rest of it grow free in the breeze. ,,No, I didn't try to scratch a match on it," he smiled. ‘‘It was a bit embarassing at times,” Tony revealed. "When I went to church I crept in and stayed near the back." His house bi'others, the Betas, were no small factor in the win ning of the contest by Tony. “Sometimes I was tempted to shave," he said, “but they en couraged me to keep it." Scratches The brave girl w’ho accompan ied Tony and his beard to the Whiskerino was Helen Mullen, a Chi O. After the whiskers were shaved off at about 10:30 in the evening, Tony and Helen were able to dance in peace. But there were quite a few dances before that time. Though clia m p beard-raiser among the sophs, Tony is no man in the thirties. Only 21, he is a big, brawny fellow who would do justice to any lumber camp. His winning beard was dark black and something to be admired more than loved.
