Ethereal Gazers Spy More Than Cute Gals , Taking sunbaths in spring-like weather, huddling around a couple cf heaters that don’t work in cold weather, or whistling at coeds and playing cards in any kind of weather isn’t the only thing that inhabitants of the observation post find to do, in spite of indications to the contrary at times. Vitally important since the recent bomb-scare, the observa tion post has direct connection with the Eugene filter center in the armory, where reports of planes are sent. Six men’s living organizations, Chi Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kap pa Psi, Theta Chi, Sigma Alpha Mu, and Kirkwood Co-op are now taking over the 24-hour shifts, each house supplying two-man crews. Last Month Living organizations running up and down the ladders last month were Sigma Alpha Ep silon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Al pha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, and Phi Delta Theta. In charge of the observation post, under Dr. Luther S. Cress man, head of the anthropology department, is Bruce Hamby, John Warren, and Lou Torgeson. Only staff members are allowed to brave the hazards of ladder climbing, and no one else is al lowed on the roof ox the library, according to Dr. Cressman. Possible Even an air attack seems pos sible after Monday’s coast shell ing and the observers are al ways on the look out for such a possibility. Since no civilian planes have been allowed in the air, excepting regularly scheduled transports and mail planes, it is a near cer tainty that the drone of a power ful engine through the night sky means a war plane in deadly ser iousness. Whenever a plane is heard, or seen in the daytime, a srnaM re port blank, supplied especially for the purpose, is filled out and the information phoned in on the post’s special wire to the filter (Please turn to pacte cli/lit) PC rWo*n,a+i rd.

Silent Film Almost Talks A silent film that almost talks, today’s educational activi ties movie, “The Passion of Joan of Arc,” is a culmination of many silent techniques, a portent of the talking- picture. The film is largely made up of enormous pictures of faces, sep arated by dialogue titles. It is in reality a gallery of living por traits which drew forth tremen dous acclaim and was hailed as a "work of art” on its release in 1928.

Each player was chosen and presented as an individual in the real world instead of as a famous and highly paid favorite charmingly inter
