I wonder how many
Were sold at the time ?
Thirty-three seniors,
With class cards et al,
Have been named on committees

A card selling slogan
Which might have been witty
Was “Buy a class card
And be on a committee.”

To Do Its Part
In Dimes March
University of Oregon students
may take part in the “March of
Dimes’’ to fight infantile paral
ysis, it was revealed last night
by Buck Buchwach, originator of
a plan to “allow University stu

Buchwach left the campus last
night to visit OSC, where he will
talk to Andy Landforce, ASOSC
president, and members of the
Barometer staff.
His idea was first proposed

Under the plan University stu
dents would contribute their
dimes at the Oregon-Oregon State
basketball game here Saturday
night. Oregon State students
would do the same at the Oregon
Oregon State game in Corvallis
February 7. The school which
contributed the greatest amount
of money would take the entire
amount and contribute it, under
the name of the winning school,
to the infantile paralysis chair
man of Lane or Benton county.
The plan has the support of the
ASUO and of the Emerald, Buch
wach said yesterday.
House presidents and managers
will meet at 4:15 today on the

cuss defense bond sales.
