selves.
-Who Done It?
She's Puzzled!
“ ‘A' is for apple,” as far as .
Miss Lorene Marguth, business
administration secretary, is con
cerned. but applying that theory
to the typing class she teaches
presents a problem.
Someone left a large apple
wrapped in tissue paper on her
desk. That suited Miss Marguth
all right, but the donor failed to
leave his name.
Now she can’t determine who
should get the “A” for the deed.

the Oregon-Washington game
in Seattle Saturday should ob

'Moon' Opens
With Hilarious
First Nighter
By MARJORIE MAJOR
Family life as it might have
happened in a kindergarten,
nightmare or just in the home of
the Rimplegars brought delighted
chuckles from the University
theater audience with the open
ing last night of “Three Cornered
Moon.’’
Screwballs on the delightful
side, the Rimplegars find them
selves suddenly minus a fortune
and proceed in their rambling
way to remedy the situation.
Their efforts, and their final suc
cesses, make the comedy a pleas
ant after-dinner diversion.
Cast Notables
Notable among the cast is
Dorothy Durkee as the ever help
ful and confused Mrs. Rimplegar.
Adrian Martin breezes through
the role of Kenneth Rimplegar
with an effective Harvard accent
and a ruffled coiffure.

Oregon Coeds Knittin’ for Britain
—Photo by Leo Molatore
As a part of the “Aid-to-Britain” program many University women
are joining a campaign to knit “housewives kits” for army and navy
men. Shown knitting are Jean Marshall, Carolyn Martin, and Jean
Fitzgerald. Material is furnished by the Red Cross and the construc
tion of several dozen kits is planned.
All Campus Groups
Active in Sewing
For Fighting Men
Knittin’ a mitten for Britain
is the latest parlor pastime to
sweep the Oregon campus. A re
cent survey reveals that many
coeds are taking an active part in
the battle against Hitler by hand
manufacturing articles for Brit
ish and American men in the
service.
Arrangements were made
through heads of houses for each
living organization to make a
certain number of “housewives
kits” for the use of army and
navy men. These kits are sewed
by the girls and furnished with
needles, pins, thread, buttons, and
other items necessary.
Red Cross Helps
The Red Cross furnished the
material, and coeds will construct
several dozen kits.
Another campus group is start
ing a collection of sweaters to be
turned over to Bundles for
Britain.
