University Flyers Score Perfect Safety Record A perfect safety record has been maintained during all the local civil pilot training programs, it was revealed by James 0. Stovall, coordinator, recently. Although 250 persons have been graduated from the course, no student has been injured in any way. “We credit this excellent record to a controlled flight course,’’ Mr. Stovall explained. “Each time the student goes up in a plane he has some specific maneuver to do and is not left to his own devices.’’ a result of the outstanding safety record at Oregon, in surance underwriters have voluntarily lowered the insurance rates six times, Mr. Stovall said. With the decreased rates there have also been increased benefits from the insurance. “The company has been pretty safe so far, though, because no one has had the slightest opportunity to collect on any of the hospital or medical.care,’’ Coordinator Stovall pointed out proudly. Only three schools out of 775 participating in CPT work have trained more students than Oregon, Mr. Stovall stated, and only seven schools have tied Oregon’s number. With a quota increase of 10 men this fall, 60 men are being trained through the SPT program here. Of this number 20 are engaged in secondary flight training. Barnyard Setting For Law School Hop The law school will replace its typical green visor with a straw hat, its stale package of cigar ettes for an aged corn-cob, and its conservative atmosphere for an old time barn dance at the Lane county fairgrounds, Novem ber 1. President Charles Phipps of the law school student body has ap pointed Don Walker as chairman of this annual event. According to Phipps, this is the first oppor tunity the “bachelor barristers” Rave had to cut loose and enjoy the more pleasurable side of life, -r --- Alpha Phis Add 1 Alpha Phi pledged Mary May Hamlin of Pasadena, California. Pome No. 180 Quite a few of the Webfoots Are sure they’ve been took, For ’twas billed as a Frosh game, But we think it’s a Rook. —J.W.S. North-Bound Ducks Migrate to Portland Students Given Special Price For Rook Game University students will have to pay only 30 cents and present their athletic .cards to see the Frosh-Rook game Friday night in Portland, compared with the 55-cent price set earlier in the week, according to word received Thursday night from Clarence Codding, president of the Oregon alumni group in Portland. This puts Oregon students on a level with high school students and soldiers, since both these groups regularly pay only 30 cents admission. The new action, resulting from combined efforts of both Oregon and OSC alumni groups and athletic boards, is a substitute proposal for the orig inal free admission plan fostered by Anse Cornell, Oregon athletic manager. This price-reduction is a com pletely new idea as the Frosh Rook game has always been a paid admission event in former years. Although the Oregon State athletic board turned down the athletic-card admission plan they agreed to the 30-cent price, which includes federal tax. Because so few students are expected to be on the campus this weekend no Emerald will be published Saturday, Fred O. May, business manager, has decided. The Emerald will resume its reg ular publication schedule Satur day.

Frosh Committee Asks Discard of Cards A class finance plan, calling for the educational activities board to underwrite activities of the freshman class, was tentatively accepted last night by the newly appointed freshman class by-laws committee, according to ASUO President Lou Torgeson, who pre sided at the meeting. The plan, Torgeson said, would do away with the vote-carrying class card, and payment back to the educational activities board would be made from profits on the activity the board had under written. Torgeson said he had reason to expect that the board would agree to such a system if the class adopts it at its meeting Tues day evening. The by-laws committee will meet again Monday to discuss further plans to submit to their class for approval. The commit tee's recommendations are in no way binding on the class, how ever, Torgeson said. The committee met Thursday afternoon and later adjourned to meet again Thursday evening. Members are Burdine Day, Boh Erlandson, Stan Hagar, Phyllis Horstman, June Hitchcock, and Hal Locke.
