Willamette Park
(Continued, from page one)
When Loud himself arrived, he
secured the aid of a group of boys
and chopped the walk away from
the rest of the building, probably
saving the walk and nearby build
ings and trees from burning.
Gone by 8:30
By 8:30 the entire building had
been burned to the ground. The
red light in the sky, caused by
the flames, could be seen plainly
as far as Eugene.
University students crowded
about the fire last night, but were
unable to offer any real help.
The interior of the building had
been redecorated shortly before
the opening of school.
ASUO President Lou Torgeson
contacted last night said, “I think
I speak for the entire student
body when I express my regret
that the ‘park’ is gone. We stu
dents shall sorely miss it as a
clean and wholesome place to
dance.”
Duke Ellington, negro band
leader, was to have played at the
park next week.

ROTC Hat
Saves Wigs
After studying hard, going re
ligiously to Thursday drills, and
carefully polishing brass for two
years to get into advanced mili
tary training, so they could wear
the neatly tailored officers’
blouses and the snappy garrison
cap with the leather bill, ad
vanced ROTC students have vot
ed to wear the army regulation
field cap after all.
These caps commonly known
as “pea cutters,” “overseas,” and
other things, are being worn ex
tensively by officers in the reg
ular army.
Save Hairline
They are much lighter than
the unwieldy garrison cap and
save the hairline that was so
ruthlessly destroyed by the Stet
son of Spanish-American war
fame.
Officers commenting on the
new caps said that their only
drawback is the lack of protec
tion against inclement weather.
Seniors will be wearing the new
headgear at drill next Thursday
and juniors will receive them
with their new uniforms.
Colonel R. M. Lyon, head of the
department, said that in a few
days the complete regiment will
be properly uniformed.
Freshmen will take heart when
they move their heads and the cap
falls off, for in the future officers
will have a similar problem.
