Caswell Addresses Round Table Club Dr. A. E. Caswell, head of the physics department, read a paper on “Whatever the Weather,” at a Regular bi-monthly meeting of the Round Table club yesterday.

Four stories later things were still looking up —they didn’t dare look down— and the reporter lost his pencil somewhere in the folds of his roomy’s borrowed overcoat. Twenty feet more and the steel ladder began to curl away. Ah. the top! As silently as possible the two newshounds, with super charged pulses, tip-toed' across the roof toward a fog-found hulk which might have been the ele vator shaft. It was. Creepy Business inside a watcner was warm ing his hands over an electric heater. Above, on tops of the shaft in a little umbrella-like shack, the flicker of a candle threw the shadow of the other observer spilling on to the roof. Then somebody’s foot slipped. “Is that you, Childs?” asked the voice above. No answer. No nothin’. Nobody ever froze stiffer sooner than a certain photogra pher and an uncertain reporter. The spotter decided it was his imagination and went back to his watching. But luck was against them. Out came .“Childs” at the wrong time . . . with a flashlight. He walked straight past them the first time, over to the edge of the roof and started talking to his mate above. Two men with but a single thought, the reporter and the photographer started around the shaft to the other side. But the flashlight was too fast. But it all come out all right in the end. The spotters, Clinton Childs and Don Ellingson of Sig ma Alpha Epsilon, finally decided they weren’t seeing saboteurs and consented to pose for a couple of flash-bulb shots, taken 30 feet above the library roof, while hanging on to a corner post of the “shack” for dear life.

At Second Glance (Continued from page Hoo) companion of all the strange and unhappy events that have hap pened to him (friends being mur dered and his fiancee driven in sane ) and in the course of the film, the whole picture turns into one grandiose hallucination. Take our word for it, you’ll never see another picture like it! SHORT STORIETTE: May I hold your Palmolive ? Not on your Lifebuoy! Then I guess*I’m Out of Lux ... Yes, Ivory formed.

Robinson, Marlene Dietrich in 'Manpower' — also — THE THRILLER 'Charlie Chan in Rio' NEXT TIME TRY THE TRAIN m (Courtesy Register-Guard) Defense shortages and priorities will hold no woe for Dean Eric W. Alien of the school of journalism. For though the government may cut short or eliminate entirely sale of autos and tires, the Dean can still ride his “bike” to school. Dean Allen took up bicycle riding “seriously” last week as he rode to and fi"bm his home and the journalism school. Extension Announces New Plans to Expand The general extension division reports that, starting winter term, five social science classes will be held at Salem, and two physical education classes at Klamath Falls. Two geography classes at Marshfield, economic geography of the Pacific North west and geography of Europe, taught by J. C. Stovall, now have an enrollment of 50.

During fall term, enrollments in Eugene night classes totaled 130, 117 of which were not work iug for college credit. Hours totaled 377.

This dis play was presented by the Wash ington, D. C., chapter of the American Institute of Architects to give a better understanding of the efforts being made to im prove housing plans during the national emergency.
