Fire Survey
"Due at Houses
"Come on, pledge! Get to
work!’’
Spurred on by such commands
as this, pledges of the Univer
sity’s 17 fraternities and 15 sor
orities will undoubtedly spend a
goodly portion of their free time
between today and Monday after
noon cleaning basements and
attics. The reason is the fire in
spection of all living organiza
tions scheduled to begin Monday.
William E. Nusbaum, Eugene
ire, chief, and Jack A. Hayes,
deputy state fire marshall, will
conduct the inspection which will
last one month. They will check
the number of fire extinguishers
and hoses in each house, the con
dition of all basements and attics,
usually the places where fires
start, any refuse left around the
houses, and the condition of all
fire escapes.
In addition to the fraternity
and sorority houses, all other liv
ing organizations will undergo
the inspection. This includes
boarding houses and private
homes at which University stu
^j^ents are staying as well as the
dormitories.
Deputy Marshall Hayes recent
ly inspected the Oregon State
campus, but as yet has not re
vealed his findings.
“None of the houses will be
informed as to when they are to
be inspected,” stated Chief Nus
baum. "We have made no set
schedule and will show no par
tiality.”
The inspection will undoubtedly
be established as an annual affair.
Jam for Breakfast

♦that seventeeen other people and
himself were making damn fools
out of themselves. Well, anyway,
it said Oregon rally dance in the
paper. Woody Hite was good, too.
A New Rave
I have been catching the mar
velous Alvino Rey shots from the
Palladium via NBC nightly and
they are worth a cessation of
Plato perusing any day. I know
that you all have been wonder
ing just who the fellow is that
plays the marvelous clary with
Al’s crew. Well, kiddies, that man
is Skeets Herfurt and he is ter
rific. He and Rey play those
-Wever little clarinet, electric gui
tar licks that sound like two guys
playing a clarinet and an electric
guitar. The King Sisters are good,
too.
Musical Hot Seat
The reason that the lights went
out at the Theta house dance Fri
day eve (providing varied oppor
tunities for all concerned) was
not attributable to playful pledg
es nor playful guests. The blame
I am afraid rests upon the ork. It
seems as though the band was
using metal chairs and when one
of said furnitures crossed a
frayed wire, the resulting short
blew the living room glims. What
no one knows, even the tenor man
‘*Xvho was sitting on the chair, is
that all of these joyous volts were
loosed right into the sitting de
vice, and, had he not been re
posing on his Sears and Roebuck
overcoat he would have received
the larger type hot seat.
Which is about all except
would you believe that one of our
esteemed degree laden faculty is
a cat. Well, you’ll have to, ’cause
the groovy prof is Mr. Franchere
who wields the brain on that Eng
lish lit. kick. He is strictly from
hep. Last week he compared ro
manticism with Count Basie and
Father Hines. What killed me is
that he is even digging boogie
, woogie. Isn’t life marvelous
though ever.

Art Relics on Display
During Homecoming
A collection of Chinese art rel
ics which have not been on exhi
bition for some time will be on
display at the Murray Warner
museum of Oriental Art during
the Homecoming festivities. The
collection includes vases, bowls,
and ornaments, chiefly of the
Chien Lung period.
Art museum hours during the
Homecoming weekend are Sat
urday, November 28, 10:30 a.m.
12 noon; 7:30-10 p.m. Sunday,
November 29, 2:30 p.m.
In the new display are seven
carved rose quartz vases and or
naments, several white and dark
green jade vases and bowls, a
mirror-black vase with a gold
lotus design, and a collection of
peach-bloom porcelain of the
K’ang Hsi period. There are 12
. Cambodian tapestries and the
carved oriental rose-crystal seal
of the Emperor Chien Lung in
the display.

ing roles and show some prom
ise as newcomers. “Riders of the
Purple Sage” is recommended for
those who like a western film
that is better than the usual gun
play epics. Screenplay was adapt
ed by Robert Metzler and William
Bruckner, two newcomers with
an unusual writing style and a
wealth of clever ideas.
New Record
Warners is claiming some sort
of a new record on the distances
covered during the filming ,of a
picture. Studio transportation
heads claim that 78,420 miles of
location travel were rolled up in
making “They Died With Their
Boots On.” Transportation units
•—trucks, cars, planes, etc.—cov
ered this distance which eequals
three times around the earth.
Cooperation for Defense
Bugs Bunny, the star of Loo
ney Tunes will sing the song,
“Any Bonds Today?’’ in a special
one-reel cartoon which Leon
Schlesinger is preparing to pro
mote the sale of government
bonds. Henry Morgenthau Jr.
okayed the idea and now the en
tire Looney Tune staff is working
to insure delivery of the Techi
color short before Christmas.
Comedian Composers
Abbott and Costello, currently
clowning at the Heilig in “Keep
’Em Flying,’’ have turned to
composing and their song “Ab
bott and Costello” will soon be
released by the Mills Publishing
Company. Victor has contracted
the two comedians for recording
rights.
Kenton to Caper
Stan Kenton’s band, probably
the hottest outfit that ever
played at Willamette park before
it burned, opened last night at the
Palladium in Los Angeles. Ken

Annual Alumni Lunch
All men returning to the cam
pus during Homecoming have a
place for them at Gerlinger hall
Friday noon, November 28, when
the Order of the “O” will hold its
yearly luncheon, according to
Jim Rathbun, "O” president and
chairman of the luncheon com
mittee.
Captain Bradshaw of the 1914
Oregon football team will act as
toastmaster, and Bill Hayward,
track coach, is slated to speak.
Following the luncheon a pro
cession of lettermen will march
past the Hayward field stands
before the Oregon-Oregon State
game.
Friday night, and then someone
will probably steal that, too,
beautifying the city proper. . . .

Mass Mailing
University of Oregon stu
dents have participated in a mass
mail-athon to alums concerning
the 1941 Homecoming celebra
tion during the past two weeks,
according to Jim Banks, head of
the direct mail committee. Ev
ery living organization on the
campus has been contacted by
Banks’ committee to make sure
that all "folks back home"
would have ample information
concerning the coming events.
Milodene Goss canvassed all
sorority houses until she broke
her leg. Bernie Engel took care
of the co-ops and the girls’
dorms. Phil Hunt and Jim Banks
handled the fraternities and the
men’s dorms.
. Homecoming Chairman Russ
Hudson urged that this year’s
mail campaign be carried on in
a personal style—no printed or
mimeographed letters. Some or
ganizations sent out chapter
newspapers full of information
besides contacting their alums
personally. Also handled by the
direct mail committee were the
yellow and green stickers which
are being used this week on the
outside of envelopes leaving the
campus and which describe the
“Blitz the Beavers” motto or the
homecoming dance.
BA School Booklet
First in a series of monthly
publications to be issued by the
school of business administration
is a 30-page booklet, “Financing
the Defence Program," by Pro
fessor E. G. Daniel. It will be
released this month. This publica
tion is a service of the Univer
sity, and the pamphlets will be
sent to business men, and will be
used by students.
